where was i arguing over who conducts the auction? i simply said "they" (referring to whoever does conduct the auction) you have put RTP watch auctions in quotes please do point out where i myself typed that you do know how quotes work right? as for watches "they" auctioned them (they being any gov department, petty detail does not matter, all gov employees) https://timeandtidewatches.com/thai-customs-admits-selling-fake-luxury-watches-in-auction-including-pieces-from-rolex-patek-philippe-and-richard-mille/

Just like they do with watches they auction? LOL

no green book is not proof of scam, as in take money and run, if that was the scam they would have much more success providing a fake scan of fake green book etc many bikes are sold here without the green book, not a scam, just how it is. many are not stolen too, i have a bike that does not have a green book, simply due to being misplaced over the years and never being needed as the bike never makes it outside the village if it ever makes it off our land. All that said, i wouldn't, just not worth the possible head ache, unless buying for parts or to only use on your own land.

go and explore Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam for a month before you head home "for good"

What is keeping you here?

what is scary is seeing shows like upload, where they have digital heavens, and realising we already have the tech to fake such a service

might be worth first deciding how you will live to try and minimize any medical needs then decide what you would be willing to live and what you would want treatment for then price up the cost to fly elsewhere for certain treatments compared to here. If you have pre-existing conditions that will void most insurance claims you may need quite a bit put aside to be treated here.

check in as you normally would then just go chill in whichever VIP lounge your ticket permits be aware your lounge may still be quite a distance from your gate. not here, but other airports/countries i have turned up the night before my early flight no problem go to lounge enjoy an evening buffet, with open bar (i don't drink tho) then have shower, go to sleep on a nice comfy recliner in quiet corner, wake up, buffet breakfast, shower, then go to gate if flying biz or first class, you can avoid any stress by arriving early and waiting comfortably Tip: many do not realise you can buy fast track and lounge access at most airports regardless of ticket and usually not too much, like $30-50

if you have to ask someone, you are already taking too much risk. An investment advisor is like paying someone to choose what number to place your chips on.

why would you need US ph# to get text from a Thai bank? or are you asking if one number can do both? diff country but just for reference i use a Thai number to receive 2FA text and calls from my UK bank no issue most finance companies allow this as it is very normal for people to travel and this is usually when blocks are put on cards

who do you think calls the police?

right now, it would make zero sense for myself to buy any car but that said, the best thing for an EV for a solar owner is using the EV as extra storage for the house but still makes no financial sense, as batteries are much cheaper and i already have a car

yes you should calculate typical usage etc but i will be honest, it is better to forget ROI if using batteries or for off grid system at least for lithium anyway There is no guarantee they will last as long as stated, only time will tell The best ROI is on grid systems for places that use electricity during the day as you can literally max out your investment problems off grid, bad days hit you hard if you continue to use your typical load you calculated for so you have to plan for bad days which means go above your needs and spending more then you have issues with when just some days you need more juice than others and on very good days you may use power just to stop it going to waste where as if you were paying for grid power, you may not have used power you don't need plus many people waste grid power, not worrying about the bill till it arrives so calculating can be extremely difficult to get right for off grid or SOC system

i am totally OFF Grid (not low or zero bills, actually off grid) typical day, we have an aircon in the electric room running 24/7 at 28C and at least one other aircon running in the house on really good days we turn them all on which we have total 6 i have aircon running most of the day in my office and i have currently 5 computers running 24/7 2 are pulling 180-320w 1 180-480w and 2 small rigs pull about 50-80w each plus 2 monitors (i had 11 computers running till last month) then add on top chest freezers and fridge and oven and kettle etc and charging of Milwaukee batteries often note: with exception of my dogs room all aircons are the higher end more efficient aircons, they cost like double price to buy but power saving is huge i do not drive an EV, as it would make zero sense for myself to purchase one.

for the righteous i have solar and drive an EV that is you I have solar and an EV but you say I’m righteous, I never claimed it. did i mention you by name? mo, but you replied anyway, if the shoe fits Yes, you are fortunate to able to do what you do and live how you live, be grateful Yes I am but it’s the same for every expat living in Thailand who mentioned expats? the vast majority of people cannot live like you the same for every expat living in Thailand since when did "the vast majority" exclude the vast majority? the vast majority of people use their cars during the day EV owners can charge at night using TOU half price electric, but you didn’t know that. With average journeys most people would only need to charge once a week when they were doing something else like shopping but you didn’t know that YES, i know that, but this is mental gymnastics for i have an EV i charge during the day with excess solar" which is what i was referring too and has been stated many times, although not sure if by yourself the vast majority of people cannot afford solar better to borrow the money to buy solar as it makes good financial sense with a 5 year payback, but you didn’t know that now you are encouraging people to get further into debt, again other people are not you. the vast majority of people cannot afford a brand new second hand car, let alone a new EV The Neta V EV is cheaper than a suzuki swift and even cheaper second hand, but you didn’t know that most people do not need a new car of any kind, most people have not finished paying for the car they are currently driving, but you already know that, again encouraging people to get into debt is not good and other people are not you. the vast majority of people do not have 30 minutes to wait for a charge on long journeys but you didn’t know that new EVs can add 350km of range in 20 minutes Yes my point still stands as i said long journey, you literally made my point for me the vast majority of people cannot afford to replace a disposable EV every few years EVs come with 8 years warranty including the battery but you didn’t know that as i said replace every few years, 8 years flies by the vast majority of people cannot afford to signal their virtue in such ways EV haters always accuse EV owners of “virtue signaling” while all the time signaling their own ignorance why do you know someone drives an EV, because they tell you every chance they get. if the grid cannot meet the demands of aircons being run on high imagine how bad it would get when everyone got home from work and charged their EV Not true but you didn’t know that. It’s clearly too complicated for you to understand so I won’t waste any more of my time trying to educate you. what is not true? the article above is about huge power demands, if EVERYONE drove an EV, electricity demand would increase especially certain times of day, and no, not everyone would wait for off peak hours Sometimes it just helps to be humble and grateful for the situation we ourselves are in regardless of how others live.

TLDR and no, not everyone could if they managed their finances better. the fact you needed to ramble on so much proves my point

...

just go away, i got no time for clowns, get a life.

you again? go away i will explain it slowly for you so you understand "brand new second hand" simply means brand new to me but second hand for example, when some says "i just bought a new car" and they expect others to read their mind and understand it is actually a second hand car see how words matter The term that has also been used in music SINCE 1975 to describe something that might be new but not original or music that is new and taking inspiration from something old depending on whether you ask Roots Manuva or Peter Tosh i add 🤡s to ignore list, goodbye.

yes there are quite a few like you on here

for the righteous i have solar and drive an EV that is you Yes, you are fortunate to able to do what you do and live how you live, be grateful the vast majority of people cannot live like you the vast majority of people use their cars during the day the vast majority of people cannot afford solar the vast majority of people cannot afford a brand new second hand car, let alone a new EV the vast majority of people do not have 30 minutes to wait for a charge on long journeys the vast majority of people cannot afford to replace a disposable EV every few years the vast majority of people cannot afford to signal their virtue in such ways if the grid cannot meet the demands of aircons being run on high imagine how bad it would get when everyone got home from work and charged their EV

words matter, you should use them correctly.

sorry i canno0t read minds, so can only go by the words you type. words matter. i am not going to assume you meant something other than what you typed, That is rude and offensive for most.
