None of my Thai relatives plan on getting an EV any time soon. They do not even trust the hybrids.

  Most of my relative have either a Honda, Izuzu or Toyota and plan to keep them 8 to 10 years.

     The charging stations are not easy to find in the smaller places in Thailand, The same goes for western Canada.

The large cities in Canada have some charging stations, but in smaller towns, it is hard to find a lot of charging

stations. Granted there will be more and more charging stations built in Canada, but for now I would only be interested in a hybrid

as it will get me to my destination for sure.

During my klast visit this year, I seen more than 50 percent of Motercycle riders without helmets. Women especially do not

want their hair mussed up. The amount of toruists without helmets was troubling, and i bet a lot of them did not have out of 

country medical insurance. I am happy to be back home in cooler tempertures, even the snow on the ground does not bother me.

  Hot season in Thailand is not for me. I also seen many drunk people riding motercycles, and am not surprised

to read this story of a young tourist dying from a crash.  RIP to this fellow, and good luck to all of you with this hot season.

is this not attempted murder in most countries? Just curious what the outcome will be in this case?

Well It is March, and is this not considered the Hot Season now?

  The forecast sounds like that is the case.  SURPRISE!

So these 2 NZ boxers have rich parents.  I guess the nanny or nannies did not teach

these 2 spoiled guys much of anything. Jail time and then bann them for a long time is

the way to go. IMO

The new Devided States of America, Trump versus Biden.

  What a state the USA is in right now. 2 dinosaurs who should both be retired forecfully from politics.

If the two dinosaurs of Trump or Biden is the best the USA can get for their presidents, the country

is doomed. My Opinion of course.

I found Thailand to be too hot from the last week of February until I left March 13th.

My next trip will be in the November to early February period, when some cooler temperature should exist.

  The food is still great, and prices for most places to stay were not much more expensive than they were

just before the COVID hit. Good Luck with the hot season you hearty expats, and tourists.

Hey Tim, Pattaya may be on the nice list, as the beaches especially Jomtien Beach in the south part, are sundset beaches.

  Just my Opinion anyway.

All of SE Asia has to quit burning their sugarcane debris to make the air cleaner.

  Thailand also has to make the old vehicles 20 old and older get off the roads.

     Oh well I still enjoy a holiday there every few years, so I will pack my N95 masks for

my week in Bangkok.

Safety attitude in Thailand seems to be, Oh it is still working a bit, so we will fix it later.

  Accidents because of brake failure has happened for years and years. It is time for an attitude

change, or nothing will change.

Thailand  officials did not use their brains, before legalizaing cannabis.

People are upset now that they finally thought a bit and changed their minds on an all open

policy.  The stink of cannabis is better than some raw sewage smells along some back streets and alleys.

IMO.

As a Canadian visitor, where we have our own political problems, I cannot comment on Thai politics.

  I chat with some expat friends and soon we are talking about more serious sports like Football, hockey,

and such. Winter has arrived in most of Canada now, so i am looking to escape to hotter places soon.

Thailand food is great, people are mostly friendly and the guest houses and hotels are nice as well.

hotchilli, don't forget the loss of face in the  situation. I have seen many Thais

react badly when they have a loss of face. Lots of stress in the world these days.

Darn, those stay awake pills do not last forever, who would have thought.

Once a thief. Well I believe that they do not change when they are on a holiday.

Well, if I was a Russian, I would rather a quick end, falling 8 stories, than a slower death

from bullet wounds in Ukraine.  

Thieves are very heartless people, nice to know that they will bo goijg to Hell 

when they die.

So many houses have those heavy cement tiles on their roofs, which is likely why a lot of them collapsed.

  I am glad that the country of Japan was prepared to deal with eqrthquakes. It will still take time for roadways

to get rebuilt and to help isolated places quickly. Good thing that Japan has lots of helicopters to use.
