Eh? I drive a petrol vehicle if you must know, but quite what that has to do with Donald Trump I have no idea! -
Absolutely. Fortunately there's time before the next election for the nation to come to its senses!

Electric Vehicles in Thailand

From what I've found, Nissan's recent restructuring seems to have secured its future, in Asia anyway. -

Thanks guys, this is helpful. I guess my final question is whether I should just buy a petrol vehicle after all? As I understand it, there is no likelihood of a ban on petrol vehicles in the future (even the UK seem to be backtracking on this), so other than being an environmentally-concerned person, I could save money (I'm a poor teacher!) and just buy a 'regular' car? -

Good question. Looking forward to the answers. Is the Kicks e-power concept any different to other hybrids (I don't know what a PHEV is)? (Written before I saw @KhunLA's reply) -
Report Police Clamp Down on Prostitution to Protect Pattaya’s Image

Nothing new here. Let's face it, prostitutes openly soliciting on Beach Road does not look good. When it's so easy to find a prostitute working legally in a bar or gogo, or soliciting illegally, but more discreetly, surely cleaning up the image of Beach Road is no bad thing. Of course, it won't work as the fines are minimal and usually instant, so they are hardly a deterrent! -

Is it hybrid? I can't have charging at home, so don't want a 100% EV. -

I've been driving a Nissan March since 2014, so anything new should be better than I'm used to! -

Thanks. The MG3 looks good. -
I'm trying to switch my 10-year-old son's Extension from piggy-backing on my work extension, to his own ED visa. I also want to switch my wife's Extension to a Parent/Guardian extension. Although they both originally had non-O visas issued in London back in 2016, they've been on continuous extensions since then. My son's school advise that it will be necessary for both of them to get new O visas, outside Thailand, in order for the extensions to be switched. A major pain, as I had assumed it could all be done in Thailand. If we do need to leave Thailand, which Embassy/Consulate is recommended these days? My son is British and my wife is Lao. I understand that the application process is all online, but the applicant/s need to be in the country they are applying from. How long should the process take? Thanks

I'm considering a Nissan Kicks e-power car to replace my elderly March. https://www.nissan.co.th/vehicles/new-vehicles/new-kicks.html Anyone got one?
