I don't, it is hearsay!
It’s not.
I know 2 Brits here in Isaan who were caught and are having to repay overpayment. Worse is that they’ve had their pensions revert to the amount they received when they moved to Thailand.

Isn’t that more of a South Korean thing?

There was a thread on this a few months ago.
On 2/19/2024 at 1:37 PM, kingstonkidsaid:
Does anyone have one? I am wondering what the electric bill is like and how long the average battery charge is?
My reply on the same thread:“Mine, an electric 3-wheel, is economical to run. Charging via a separate charger takes from 6 to 13 hours depending on how low the lead-acid battery is. Electric bill is minimal.
It’s top speed is 48kph and range on a full charge is 45 kilometers”.

That’s right. Thankfully, this bitter attitude, evident lack of knowledge and his sour opinions aren’t shared by the majority here.

HugoFastor’s posts (which are neither pro nor anti-Trink) bring back memories of long lost, hugely enjoyable days in BKK 🙂

Thank you for the information. The led lights I was thinking about are the flashing ones you around on cars etc but they are 12v, and the trike has a 48v battery. Not a big or insolvable problem. The Lion website is terrible to read.
Where did you buy it?
There are some other models for sale , at higher prices, naturally, including 4 wheel models and come with a roof to keep most of the rain off, (if it ever does rain this year).
Can’t advise on installation of the flashing lights, sorry.
I bought it at an independent store on the ground floor of Big C in Nittayo Road, Udon Thani. I had looked elsewhere but this particular shop stocked a very good selection of trikes.
There were 3 versions of the X6-3: 500w, 600w plus the version I bought, 700w. It has 3 forward gears and reverse, disc brakes, full set of lights, and indicators, built in alarm and masses of storage space.
The 600w version @ 16,900฿ was attractive but on the day I went to buy, the more potent-looking 700w had appeared. I was able to test both models and the 700w had a more comfortable seat (the 600w sloped back), which was wider and upright. Important for me.
In 1st gear it reaches 28kph (17.4mph), in 2nd 38kph (23.6mph), and in 3rd 48kph (29.8mph).
It’s a great vehicle, I looked around for a year before finding this one.
I too am in my seventies (mid).

Could you please tell me what model you have and how much it cost. Would it be possible to fit some 12V led lights to it to make it easier to see, even in daylight.
I live 6 km from the big village in rural Thailand and I use my pick up truck to get to the shops and back. and back.
I am 79 with bad knees and a bad back.
It’s a Lion X6-3, cost 19,900฿.
It already comes with factory fitted LED lights and they can be switched on anytime. The headlight, however, will also be on.
I too have back trouble and am very grateful for this set of wheels.- 1

Yeah this article spells it out pretty good.

Mine, an electric 3-wheel, is economical to run. Charging via a separate charger takes from 6 to 13 hours depending on how low the lead-acid battery is. Electric bill is minimal.

KK is more spread out. Not as good for walking. After several visits I would probably give the edge to Udon because it's better for walking. Nong Khai has more charm than both though. For a single guy I'd just go to Nong Khai first. Easy to visit others by train.
Definitely Nong Khai over Udon anyday in my opinion,but pricing can be higher there in some instances.

On 12/14/2023 at 9:06 PM, GammaGlobulin said:I eat ONLY Thai food in Thailand, and Japanese food in Japan, and Chinese food in China.
So, I will be eating appropriately for Xmas.
I just wish I could be in Italy this Christmas, for some real Italian cuisine.
Although nobody cares what I think:
I rate Chinese Food at tops, followed closely by Thai Food, and then REAL Italian cuisine.
Japanese food is completely GARBAGE, to me.
Just a matter of personal taste (or lack of taste, as the case may be. I don't mean that Japanese food has no taste. I just me that I have no taste, not in food, and not in women, I guess.)
Still, if in Chiang Mai, I would opt for the cafeterias at CMU. Great meals, and all you can eat, and the price is my style.
The OP was asking “are there any nice hotels or restaurants that have a nice Christmas dinner/buffet available?” (in Chiang Mai). Not seeking views from voluble, opinionated posters regarding their preference for Thai food and their derision of Japanese fare.

Farangs are not expected to wai. Surely anyone who works here would have learned that when they moved to LoS.

I would also like to know the latest changes to the yearly retirement visa (a retirement visa issued for one year by an agent.) Where would I find these? Thank you.
The obvious thing is to phone the agent and ask them. They must speak English.

Joe Bonamassa with Paul Rodgers!! Youtube.
What a vocalist he is, saw Free in 1970.
Paul Rodgers is extremely ill at present and cannot sing at all. Not long for this world by the looks of things.

It’s seems on some threads in aseannow Thai forums that a number of people can’t even understand each other!
