Correct, it’s Section 71.3 of the Thai Road Traffic Act. The OP committed an offence. He crossed a traffic light when it was not permitted.

There is so much wrong with your post, I don’t know where to start. I can tell you I would never rent you with your attitude.

I only once took a 1 month deposit when the agent told me they were good tenants and had been burned by a previous landlord. I asked them if they were tenants of a particular landlady as I knew those tenants were trouble. The agent lied to me and said they weren’t. I paid the landlord the entire first month’s rent as commission. At the end of the first month the tenants told me they could not afford to live there and were going to move out. It took them three weeks to move out. When they moved out, they hadn’t paid either of the electricity bills. Since leaving my property they have burned at least one residential landlord, a commercial landlord and a school for 2 children school fees of 800,000 THB. They are just not good people. A note to AirBnB landlords, ALWAYS fill in a tax return. Thailand will be receiving data on all historic rentals, just like happened last year in the UK.

The tents have to charge an extra 7% VAT on used cars, they will often waive it if you take finance.

You committed an offense under section 71.3 of the Thai road traffic. Your exit was not clear, you are not to pass the line when the lights are on green.

They may only show you one but they take 2 photos with a 2 second interval, the first one the instant it goes red. You were most likely stationary in both photos. The lesson you need to learn is don’t enter the junction unless your exit is clear.

The semantics on the ticket are not great, running a red light is not the best description. Your crime was to enter a junction when your exit was not clear.

Aren’t you not meant to enter a junction unless you’re exit is clear? The fine is 500 baht, just pay it. I had one for turning right from the middle lane.

The best threat you can make to a landlord refusing to give you your deposit back is to threaten to report them to the revenue department. Very few landlords actually declared the revenue and pay tax on it. Particularly for Airbnb landlords as Airbnb will supply all the revenue paid going back to the very first rental to the Revenue department on request.

I think there is a translation error and what they are saying is that the minimum value of your trade-in will be 240,000 baht

I think there’s a translation error, I think when they say your existing car will have a trade-in value of a maximum of ฿240,000, they actually mean a minimum of ฿240,000.

I’ve driven through floods there twice before. It’s fairly common there.

Maybe they are saying you will get 240,000 baht trade-in allowance? We get promotions like this in the UK quite often and people buy wrecks (MOT failures) to trade in.

What is the promotion?

I have aftermarket wheels and I think they are 1 inch wider than the standard wheels (8 inches) but they have the standard tires on, I will be upgrading the tires two sizes wider when they need replacing. Standard tires on wider wheels gets rid of the tract issue from standing starts on dry, clean roads.

By HEV do you mean Hybrid ICE or Hydrogen vehicle?

I am loving it, because I’m on holiday in Vietnam now, soon I will be on holiday in Hong Kong and again at Christmas I’m on Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam again. Paying for everything in Thai Baht.

You might be interested to know that one of the major manufacturers of green hydrogen agrees with McKinsey, Hydrogen has no place in passenger cars and will be used for long haul trucking.

I do on my pubes

Me too. @Bandersnatch too @KhunLA too I’m detecting a theme here amongst us EV owners you feel sorry for.

Please feel sorry for me, I’m an EV owner. Please feel very sorry for me because I have now bought 1 PHEV and 3 BEV’s. Please feel sorry for me because my depreciation at resale was excellent. Please feel sorry for me because I hate driving around in total silence with 530 hp under my right foot which is delivered instantaneously to all 4 wheels with a slight RWD bias allowing me to pull tricks and drift. Please feel sorry for me because I only got an 8 year parts and Labour warranty. Please feel sorry for me because I only got eight years free servicing. Please feel sorry for me because it costs me nothing to refuel. Please feel sorry for me because I can hardly contain the joy every time I get in the driving seat and floor the accelerator. Please feel sorry for me because I keep making the same mistake and being delighted with it. I really need your pity, I am clearly so unhappy.

Correct me if I am wrong. All I am hearing from EV owners here is that they are very happy with their purchases. The only people that seem to have strong opinions against EV’s is those members who are ignorant of the ownership experience. The OP admitted he lied in his titling of this thread, so what exactly is the motivation? Could it be jealousy?

What complete and utter nonsense.

please do

Actually, your pictures hadn’t loaded when I replied, I was referring to other Internet memes. Also, I suspect those photos are staged.
