Thai are selling courses on how to list things to sell online for both Ebay and Amazon, if you already has a working knowledge and an account, all the better Etsy payments can be complicated for Thais due to paypal policy

the compulsory insurance barely covers anything 30,000 baht maximum first class insurance for small bikes is rare For peace of mind, a personal accident is cheap

The points of these special editions with tricked out bits and farkles out the showroom isnt't that you can get the bits you prefer or they're better value as a whole package, but that the whole thing can be financed in one deal. The average boy racer isn't gonna be able to afford to pay cash 30-60,000 baht for Ohlins or Nitron shocks and full exhaust system if they're doing 10-15% down payment of 15,000-20,000 baht only, the repayment jump from 5000 to about 6000 baht a month for the Nitron sounds almost affordable If you're paying cash, I don't see the Nitron performing twice better than the Ohlins or 4-6 times better than YSS on bikes like the Forza

I'd hold of on the submarine joke, the all aboard safe is premature, latest report is that about 20-30 sailors are still in the water

so if I go down soi 9, there will be a catalogue of these 'ladies' with their picture and contact details?

If she reports this to the police, the bank can trace where the money was transferred to, and freeze the receiving account, usually the account belong to another poor soul who sold their account to the scammer, by the time anything is done the scammer would have moved the money out

They were still running classes and test online, only the big camping trip at the end was cancelled, normally the school should have organized his 'graduation' paper that exempt him from the draft

no, if he already registered the year he turned 18 and came home with the sor dor 9 paperwork, then he'll go for the draw at 20, no need to turn up every year

I'm okay with Automatic and Clutch, it used to be that I can never got the hang of the clutchless gears like on Honda Waves here and the likes, but once I got the hang of it, it's surprisingly very in control, you can still use engine braking and feather the 'clutch' with your heels unlike belt automatics, the wheels are bigger than automatics which rides better and any idiot in Thailand seem to be able to ride them

Some of the coffee bun survived as kiosk in malls, once attitude changed and malls start becoming more accepting, we might see Cannabis shop in malls too, but smoking anything inside enclosed space is still illegal having somewhere to sit and sample the wares are gonna be a problem still outside of hotels and importers' own shop, there are hardly any specialist tobacco shop, so in the long run it's probably hard to justify renting brick and mortar shophouse just to sell some weeds.

There's a genuine discussion to be had whether the current amount of shops selling cannabis is tenable, outside of tourist trap area, I doubt it is worth paying rent to just sell buds or joints

I've seen some atrocious fit and finish on ASEAN built Volvos in Thailand, I think they're made in Malaysia? Anyway, Both Tesla and Volvo XC40 and C40 from China so far doesn't seem to have the glaring build quality

what law exactly is being broken by standing on the beach at night? what evidence do they have that these 'ladies' were soliciting? could they've nab any tourist under the same pretense?

Toyota and Mercedes has long has grey market in Thailand and the most they can say is that they won't let you use the dealer for a service, unless you paid up. While it is theoretically possible to import Chinese cars tax free providing you can get the Form O from the factory, some Thai individual had imported ORA before they opened for business officially in Thailand good luck getting Tesla factory in China to sell you RHD cars, How much cheaper would it have to be for you to put up with LHD cars with GB/T connector in Thailand

I'll start, The whole European car price in Thailand has been artificially kept at high price to maintain the image of prestige and resell value, historically imported cars were taxed heavily but they kept the price high when CKD cars are assembled locally,( ignoring bonded manufacturing complexities they're still considered import from Europe even though made in Rayong but still, the price is too high) they kept going with the price to preserve the market, and now with Thai China FTA for EV, 'European' branded EV from China like the Volvo xc40 and BMW iX3 are still priced to maintain the legacy car market, ie artificially high as they can get away with. While you'd only need to look at other markets without the import car taxes like Australia or Europe or US to see that Mercs and BMWs don't cost 3 times as much as equivalent Honda or Toyotas, in the mind of Thais, the premium still holds The arrival or 'cheap' Teslas from China hopefully will shatters that perception somewhat, the average BMW and Mercs buyer are starting to question the value of 'European' Imports now And don't get started on the reliability of the Europeans and the warranty claim experience in Thailand

the current DC fast charger along the highways by all providers in Thailand is 1 per spot, this has lead to queues and fighting at the charger, which will only get worse during the Holidays and as more EVs get delivered If Tesla show up with their supercharger with 5-10 spot, it'll be a game changer

https://www.playbikeshop.com/ https://th-th.facebook.com/eightridar/ https://th-th.facebook.com/BikeOutletTH/ one thing about bike shop in Thailand is that there are 'Main Dealers' or Importers, who also has their own shop/showroom and probably has the best range of their products and slick looking website, but won't undercut on price with any 'mom&pop' dealers who distribute their products, so you'll get better price from the local bike shop

Probably dating myself but I remembered when they first moved there from Ploenchit decades ago and until the late 90s the place was still respectable with embassy clientele and not overrun with the more colourful characters dealing in whatever. These days it's perplexing why any independent tourist would book a hotel anywhere in Nana, surely it's not that convenient and cheap

you think they actually deliver the fake note? they could have asked for real cash and disappear, what's the buyer gonna do? report them to the police?

If you remember to present the correct passport at the immigration counter, that's fine, only problem is at check in if the airlines check against the advance passenger information system and should you present the 'wrong' passport that didn't have the relevant visa to enter the country and the airline would refuse boarding/check in For coming to Thailand, where visa-exempt and visa on arrival and lax/welcoming policy this is not a problem most of the time and you can switch passport on the flight For dual nationals exiting Thailand, using just Thai passport at check in counter could raise alarm bell that this Thai passport holder don't have the relevant visa to enter western countries, but the Thai passport is still required for the immigration counter, so for exit, show the airlines counter both, then immigration the Thai passport, and after the flight if you're still stupid enough to use the Thai passport with no visa to enter your home country, you're beyond help

Yellow line at least looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel, While finished orange line stations looks like it'll sit idle dilapidated by the time there's rolling stock and that'll probably only open once the west section is completed

a salesperson would have a 'margin' of what they can do with, usually they spend this on accessories they can get wholesale price on from windows tinting, floor mats to insurance, when shopping around you'd compare the value of these 'freebies' between dealership, as the amount is usually the same if you feel you don't need those things and can source them to your liking better, you can negotiate for a cash discount At the Motorshow the dealers have their people there are under pressure to meet target, both from the home dealership and the corporate car brand, and they're competing with colleagues from other dealership under the same roof

to clarify, they'll also let you have 2nd meter with normal non-tou rate the same with the house, but the catch is that they have to be both on the same plan, so the 2nd meter is only good for case where you don't want to touch or rewire the existing house connection when they come to inspect it, so just run another meter from the pole to the charger and put it on the same account whereas PEA will let you have the 2nd meter be TOU while the main house on standard tariff, best of both world. The 2nd meter for just EV is probably for case where the existing meter is too small, if you already has 30(100)A meter and good wiring, just run the wire from the consumer unit to the charger, For people with smaller meter or older house, getting a separate meter is probably easier than to rewire the house to pass inspection in order to get upgraded meter,

I wonder if enough people are doing this, would PEA disallow 2nd meter to be TOU while the main one is normal rate or if they have a clause when signing up that the TOU meter is for EV charging only MEA in Bangkok will only let you have 2nd meter if you switch the whole house over to TOU It's probably the same as exporting from Solar, as long as they don't see you doing it it's probably fine

if one were to wire the house aircon to the EV TOU meter with a crossover switch for cheap rate at night, do you have to be careful with the grounding in case the TOU meter were taken of different phase wire of the pole?
