Looking to buy a new SUV - any recommendations?
Honda CRV (hybrid best opt) is far more sophisticated than the Fortuner, Everest type which are based on pickup underpinnings. With proper IRS you'll get a far better ride. Decent suspension system makes all the difference.

Thailand unveils new visa rules, sparks mixed reactions
A vacuous,unthinking play of the race card. Very many Western countries have different rules for various nationalities wishing to enter and for good reason. As developed countries they are very attractive for those from poorer countries to overstay,enter the black market for employment etc. ,thus a need to be discriminating and police those wishing to enter. Thailand has a reputation for its nationals doing just that.

Brit holidaying in Thailand receive news of parents’ death in UK
No,they don’t think that,but it is true to point out Thailand’s much higher propensity for this sort of accident and RTAs in general.

Shocking slump: Thailand’s premium EV sales plunge 35%
They’ve got the European and USA markets terrified such are their price differences. The EU and USA are imposing very high tariffs to combat this and could trigger a trade war. Yes that’s on standard models but there are premium models too as another poster has pointed out.

Shocking slump: Thailand’s premium EV sales plunge 35%
Not in China they aren’t,but that is an outlier in terms of their very cheap prices and is scaring the European and USA motor manufacturers and prompting huge tariffs.

Expats angry at huge concessions in latest Thai visa announcements
So you don’t understand investment principles. Firstly,bringing in 65k per month (minimum) is far cheaper than losing the investment return on 800k baht,and so even is paying an agent 20k (if you have to) and investing that lump sum wisely. I say that as one whose investments are very considerably in excess of this - but maybe they got that way because I did understand.

Expats angry at huge concessions in latest Thai visa announcements
This is a terrible investment of almost 1 million baht. You have completely forgotten the investment return on that sum. I just have to look at the return on such a sum invested I have achieved on my U.K. SIPP (pension) and ISA (another tax free wrapper).

Indian tourist's holiday horror: Robbed, assaulted in Pattaya
The kindest thing I can say about that is incoherent waffle designed to deflect from being hoist with your own petard. You’re fooling no one other than yourself. "Light hearted ". Risible!

Indian tourist's holiday horror: Robbed, assaulted in Pattaya
No, you took great delight ,as you said, in turning down those of lighter colour. In other words you demonstrated exactly the same prejudice but just choosing a different hue to direct it against. Prejudice is prejudice. Or do you ,in your confusion,not see the hypocrisy in your own discrimination and think the answer to prejudice and discrimination against darker skins is prejudice and discrimination against lighter skins?
