Electric Vehicles in Thailand
This what I use in Chiang Rai, I bought on AliExpress shipped “Thailand Special Line” so no duty payable, it’s probably cheaper now. Switchable 10, 16, 24 and 32 amp, if overnight I do at 10 amps.

American man faces dilemma as Thai girlfriend’s parents demand 1 million baht dowry
This was your post, I don’t go around, insulting, posters, only when they insult me LOL, LOL, LOL. It's nowhere REQUIRED to have a typical Thai wedding, I didn't. We went to the amphur signed the paper, got a copy each and went back home. Didn't even have a village ceremony when we went to live there. Try again.

Thai PM says he opposes the recreational use of cannabis
I am against legalizing recreational use of cannabis but not through ignorance. Most users see their experience as a bubble, how it affects them, their lives, their friends, their relationships and work, and what they see is positive. Typically, they will say there’s no such thing as CUD/addiction, there’s no such thing as violence or crime whilst under the influence. They say this because in their bubble of normality they never see it. CUD/addiction IS a thing, it’s been identified by dozens of prestigious medical bodies and governments. It’s like saying I can drive perfectly well when drunk because I have done it dozen’s of times and never had an accident, that’s your “bubble of normality “. I volunteered one day per week as a magistrate in the UK. I saw only the cases outside of a typical stoner’s “bubble of normality” and what I saw was horrific. Lives & families ruined. I have been here almost 20 years now and my friend on the bench tells me that he is dealing with drug driving almost 100 times more often than alcohol now and people are being killed. So yes, I am against recreational use of cannabis.

Oh sorry, I didn’t realise you had gone “off-topic”, this thread is about an American in Thailand wanting to marry an Isaan girl.

You can buy a 32 amp charger (7.2Kw) on Lazada for 4-5,000 baht, it comes with a blue industrial 32 amp plug. you just need to ask a local electrician to fit you a blue 32 amp socket where you want the charger. You don’t even need to tell him what it’s for (if you do, he would probably say he doesn’t know how to install an EV wall box). He will wire your socket back to a 40 amp breaker in your consumer unit, if you don’t have an ELCB on the main breaker then he should install one next to the blue 32 amp socket. I always put 32amp plugs and sockets between the supply and the charger, because it then makes the charger portable. Should we ever sell the house, the photo attached is what I’ve done in our ChiangMai house, which is where I’m spending the weekend.

Any 3BB Fiber Users Managed to Dump ISP Router, Not just Bridge Mode?
I run Ubiquity networks across multiple locations in a private WAN. First thing you need to do is ditch 3BB. Let me explain why. 3BB buy from NT who own the international pipes. NT buy width from overseas (speed Tb/sec), 3BB buy volume from NT (Tb, not Tb/sec). You probably want speed and volume, you immediately have a mismatch in what you are buying and 3BB are selling. So if you buy from NT then they don’t care about your volume, if you buy from 3BB and you transfer a lot of data internationally, they lose money and they will throttle you and lower your service level. NT business contract will never throttle international traffic, 3BB will.

Thai PM says he opposes the recreational use of cannabis
Does your licence specify THC percentage? According to the law you can grow and sell flower with less than 0.2% THC. Equally, if Srettha says the licences are being interpreted incorrectly, they don’t need to change the law, only change how you interpret it.

My last EV had NMC batteries, if possible I would try and avoid them, but if I had my heart set on a particular car and it had them, I would probably accept it. In Thailand, it’s definitely something you want to consider. I would definitely sleep better with LFP batteries.

I have. My friend has a huge cannabis farm in Chiang Rai, the infographic released by THE THAI GOVERNMENT is correct, but it’s being overlooked, currently.

This is where the ambiguity comes in. The infographic and US Government define the law, how it is being interpreted is different. This can be a bad thing for stoners, because the government can argue that THC greater than 0.2% in flower is already banned and then it’s game over.

LFP last twice as many charge/discharge cycles compared to NMC. NMC is more likely to catch fire but performs better in cold temperature climates. NMC doesn’t like being fully charged, the battery degrades, so shouldn’t be left at 100%. LFP is safer in hot climates and can be charged to 100% NMC has a higher energy density so can pack more power in the same size. NMC uses nickel, manganese and cobalt. Cobalt is controversial because children mine it in Africa. There are probably other reasons, but these are the ones that come off the top of my head.

The infographic IS correct. It’s also the same advice given by US Government to it’s citizens visiting Thailand.

Deflection. Alcohol is worse, let’s solve that first. Tobacco is worse, let’s solve that first. Washing Machines break, let’s solve that first.

C40 is not cheap. EX30 is reasonable. Made in China is a big plus. NMC batteries, not ideal but I suspect is par for the course with most “Performance” variants. It needs considering carefully.

Condominium: Who is responsible for the drainpipes which start in my unit and then run along the ceiling from the unit below?
There have been cases of peoples sinks leaking over many months and causing damage to the condo below. They have been found responsible for the damage below. I think you own insurance normally covers this.

Thai PM says he opposes the recreational use of cannabis
Source: US CDC Addiction Some people who use marijuana will develop marijuana use disorder, meaning that they are unable to stop using marijuana even though it’s causing health and social problems in their lives. One study estimated that approximately 3 in 10 people who use marijuana have marijuana use disorder.1 Another study estimated that people who use cannabis have about a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted.2 The risk of developing marijuana use disorder is greater in people who start using marijuana during youth or adolescence and who use marijuana more frequently.3

It is only legal if THC content is below 0.2% I don’t think anyone can use that recreationally. This graphic from the Thai Government PR Dept.

Charter changes referendum has MFP concerned about government’s procrastination
Having something that can never change or be modified can be dangerous, i.e. Islam. What if the last charter change was that, unelected senators would be here forever.

Condominium: Who is responsible for the drainpipes which start in my unit and then run along the ceiling from the unit below?
It all depends whether your balcony is yours or common area. If it’s yours then you are responsible for anything that goes down it and causes a blockage. Whether through action, or inaction (ie not removing leaves). Think about it this way, let’s assume the balcony is yours and it’s blocked with cigarette butts, of course you’re responsible, now what’s the difference if it’s blocked with leaves because you never cleared them out every time they got there, it’s still your responsibility.

Thai government to revoke redundant NCPO directives, streamlining functions
I have never mentioned Srettha Thavisin, the post said “sovereign government” which I amended to “sovereign but unelected”.

Still unelected.

Condominium: Who is responsible for the drainpipes which start in my unit and then run along the ceiling from the unit below?
This exact thing happened 15 years ago at my condo building in Pattaya. It was found that leaves had blocked the drain when it was cleared. The condo owner was found responsible for the costs because he could be reasonably expected to keep the drains on his balcony clear.

Amazing Thailand, where the populous overwhelmingly vote to get rid of the old guard like Anutin & Thammanat, only to have them reappear as Deputy PM and as minister.
