My imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend. On the issue of Islam, the Quran is supposed to be the word of god but on the subject of science it has been proven wrong. Which one is more likely, millions of followers believing it’s the word of god who made a mistake or a proven criminal warlord writing a piece of fiction that has fooled millions?

I have a Krups "bean to cup" machine at my primary residence which makes 2 cups a day. I bought a 1,500 baht Nespresso type machine on Lazada for our Chiang Mai home. I'm only there for a few days a month, sometimes not at all for 2 months. I buy good quality capsules and it's a great solution for occasional use.

I've been thinking about that too. How did you find somewhere in Phils, do you rent 6 months a year and come back to same building or rent the whole year?

He's right, we should all drive a Celery

I think that is spot on and very important. The "Ostraka" monthly dining group" in Chiang Rai is in it's 8th year specifically because it is non-judgmental and open to everyone. Next month is at Accha Indian Restaurant in Chiang Rai and it's always 12 noon, always the 2nd Thursday of the month. It's easy for people to remember though they may need to ask at which restaurant it is at.

At some point in the future, there are a few transactions I want to do and will ensure I am not tax resident that year. One of those transactions will be selling a few BTC on BitKub. And remember to count arrival and departure days as being here.

Very interesting, I compliment you on your research.

I'm curious, why do you think it's a safer battery?

My advice is to buy a one year old car and choose a model that depreciates massively in the first year. Suzuki Ciaz, MG ZS or something similar. Budget no more than 400k thb. 2024, still under warranty, how much can you lose?

Cardless Cash won't work for me, I typically sell more than 1 BTC at a time.

Could it be there are >46% more EV's on the road? Not enough information there Sherlock.

You will find the crypto tax listed in one of the tax guides posted on AN, I will save you looking it up, if you bought your crypto on a regulated Thai exchange you pay PIT (up to 35%) on the profit, if you didn't buy it this way then you pay PIT on the entire transaction amount. All the approved exchanges practice KYC and output data to the TRD every year. If you sell overseas and bring the money here, it's up to you "if and how" you declare it.

You couldn't be more wrong. I think you can bring money into the country without any issue, but they are like mustard on the crypto exchanges and all the brokers on localcoinswap will 100% be giving your details to them. The safest way is to sell here when non-tax resident or sell overseas and bring the money here.

You have the same taxation issues as selling on a Thai exchange.

I have a 76 year old lady friend who has an MG4 X-Power, she lives off grid and can't charge at home. She doesn't find it onerous popping into PTT and fast-charging whilst she has a coffee in Amazon roughly once a week. Whether you even need a charger at home depends on your lifestyle, but if you can charge at home it's far more convenient than wasting 5 hours a year filling up with dino juice.

Meanwhile, according to Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, some 1898 fires in 2019 were from petrol and diesel vehicles and 54 were from EVs. Another study by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency found that EVs are 20 times less likely to catch fire than ICE cars. An additional study by that agency and an American insurer found that just 25 out of 100,000 EVs suffer fire damage. By comparison, 1530 per 100,000 ICE cars experience fire, and hybrid vehicles suffer a much higher risk of 3475 per 100,000. How much of a fire risk are electric vehicles? | Autocar Hybrids reflected the most at 3,475 fires per 100,000 vehicles. This is most likely because hybrids utilize two powertrains. ICE vehicles caught fire substantially less often, at 1,530 incidents per 100,000 vehicles. EV fires were significantly lower than the others, with 25 fires per 100,000 vehicles. So of the approximately two million EVs on U.S. roads, less than two out of a 1,000 will catch fire. Per AutoinsuranceEZ, ICE vehicles are more than 60 times more likely to catch fire than an EV, while hybrids are more than 130 times more likely to catch fire than an EV. https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/are-electric-vehicles-more-likely-to-catch-on-fire/ If you simply google EV fire statistics, you will find lots of links all confirming what I said. You're ignorance shines like a beacon in a sea of numptitude.

I think you may have forgotten that EV's are between 12 and 130 times LESS likely to catch fire than an ICE car. FORD, you're making me laugh, try a serious EV manufacturer like BYD or Tesla.

Your information is very outdated. There are at least 3 high speed DC chargers on Koh Samui which is probably 3 more than you are likely to need. I do not know of any PHEV that takes anything approaching 8 hours to charge. Most full EV's are typically charged in 5 or 6 hours. It is extremely rare to charge from 0% to 100% and on the mainland there is a plethora of fast DC chargers.

I think it’s going to take some time for all the manufacturers to iron out the bugs in their software.

There is one running in Chiang Rai into it’s 7th or 8th year, it meets 2nd Thursday of each month and is an open invitation to everyone. It usually gets between 10 and 25 attendees and is at lots of different restaurants. Often some kind of special deal is organized. It’s a great way for new residents to meet people and tell each other lies. My advice would be to open it up to everyone.

It seems you can be damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Some companies will ask you if you’ve ever had such and such a test, and if you have, they won’t cover you for the disease even though the test was negative.

And much thanks for being spokesperson for WrLife

Is he still in disgrace for painting his planes supporting the kleptomaniac Najib Rizak? NR then lost, was arrested for the 1MDB scandal and Fernandes had to publicly grovel an apology on TV.

Oh silly me, that’s alright then. And there was me thinking the other reason someone might do it was to keep all the premiums and get rich.

Adopting an adult 20 years or older just needs the adopter to sign with his wife (or prove single/divorced), no biological parent involvement at all.
