It doesn't look to me like the fire was the main battery. Generally EV battery fires look more like one of Vlad's T72s after it has been whacked by a Ukranian drone.

It depends where you live. I live 500 km from Bangkok and 125 km from a land border.

The new Tesla Roadster is equally impressive and unavailable.
-
It's a visa for dimwits.

And here to accompany the article is a photograph of motorcycles that were not made in Thailand.

How is three new cars in six years 'smart money'?
-
Single piston. Adjustment is ride height only. Gas reservoir really should have a Schrader valve on it but it doesn't. YSS mostly sell the good stuff for export only. That said this is probably about as good as you will get in Thailand.

Kyoto is great. I went there back in the 1990s. The strangest thing I saw was hundreds of bicycles parked at the station and none of them were locked.
-
Ah Yes. New York. My first experience was getting ripped off by a yellow cab driver from the airport. Strangely he was British as am I.
-
That happened at about 40 kph on the way to the Seven.

This is why I wear a full face.

I am not local so I cannot recommend any shops. The two D ring fastener is the best in my opinion. I remember I looked at the fastener on one cheap Thai brand helmet and there were sharp edges on the fastener. Not really what you want next to your neck.

High end helmets I would go for Arai or Shoei but 20K or thereabouts. For less money I would choose Shark. Manufactured in Thailand but sold globally and certified internationally. I use Arai because I find them very comfortable which matters particularly on longer journeys. If you look at many of the cheaper Thai brands the buckle/locking mechanism is an obvious weakness. This really matters in a crash.

Personalised plates don't come cheap.

I have no doubt it is a better choice than a 250 kg (before you load it up) 'adventure' bike. Mostly I see adventure bikes here tackling the rigours of riding from one coffee shop to the next.

What if I want to return a used car?
In the jungle replied to Epidote's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Most can. You can get an OBD2 scanner (fault code reader) for as little as a few hundred Baht on Lazada but a good shop would probably use something more capable. -

The ECU records fault codes. -
Yes. Although a Thai immigration officer once complained that I used my multi entry visa too much. I figured they were having a bad day.
-
My problem with Chinese cars is this. Among the many other aggressive and problematic actions the Chinese government has taken they recently put a price on the heads of Hong Kong democracy activists who hold refugee status in the UK and other western countries. I have no wish to pay money that will help them grow stronger.

No need for an accident investigation. It is clear that the plane fell out of a window.

What did you have for breakfast?
In the jungle replied to BritManToo's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Muesli, or as I call it, rabbit food. -
After retirement, what? - for a Thai national

Life expectancy is also falling in the UK. -
OK. Thanks.

Does this show that the E Visa process has serious security failings?
-
In September 2022 I received a tourist visa from London based on a UK bank statement showing a little over 3K Sterling. 10K is daft for a 60 day visa.
