I have a logical problem with the statement lithium batteries last 20 years. The fact is there are a number of lithium recycling companies world-wide, Canada alone has 5 of them. How long have EV's been on the market? Certainly not 20 years. The first Prius was sold in Japan only in 1997, and AFAIK hybrids can still be operated with a non-functioning battery. Said recycling companies did not come into being in the hope of future customers, they are servicing present demand. Which says to me lithium battery lives are shorter than what you claim.

XBB Covid Variant Spreading In India Will Soon Reach Thailand: Expert
Lacessit replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Perhaps the links you want to cite come from the ratbag element of social media. -
The Hillman Imp was not a shining example of British engineering. Changing tyre pressures by a few psi front and back could convert the handling from mild understeer to raging oversteer, or vice-versa. When I was looking for my second used car, I test drove one on offer. I also found the floor stick gearbox was like stirring porridge. I passed on buying, I thought there were easier ways to commit suicide.

Having trouble connecting the dots? Hint: Ask yourself what female company would cost in Australia, both in the short-term and long-term. Thailand gets a lot of negative stereotyping, for me it is unchanged.

Tourists come here because it is cheap, and that goes for almost everything. I can find a good hotel room anywhere in Thailand for about $30 a night. In Australia, the most ordinary motel or hotel room will cost me three times that, minimum. The same with a legit massage, less than $10 an hour here, minimum $70 in Australia.

Agree, she knew a lot about the Chiang Mai scene. RIP.

LTAT Mulls EV Replacement of Diesel Long Haul Trucks
Lacessit replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It's a fact of life an EV truck is going to need a battery which is heavier than a corresponding diesel engine for the same power output, thereby reducing the payload of the vehicle by about 10%. Therefore, when a fleet of 400,000 diesel trucks is replaced by EV's, 40,000 extra trucks will be needed, along with 40,000 more drivers and an unknown quantity of extra maintenance staff. I don't know what criteria were used to deem the tests successful; however, they certainly were not on the basis of financial and logistical benchmarks. -
Much the same as sabai dee mai, a common expression. Ask a Thai how a word is spelt in the Greco-Roman alphabet, they will probably ask "How do you want me to spell it?" The Thai alphabet is the only accurate rendering.

Retirement Extensions
Lacessit replied to ozfarang's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I understand the thinking behind both requirements is to have retirees capable of meeting any medical expenses while in Thailand, however, I could be entirely wrong. Presumably the lower bar for people married to a Thai is based on the proposition you have family support, hence less cash is required. Winston Churchill once described Russia as "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma." He would have been really baffled by Thailand. -
*Deleted post edited out* If you had a 50% vaccination rate in fall 2021, and 7 out of 10 people were unvaccinated and dying, it says being unvaccinated is a higher risk. Move to a 90% vaccination rate. Your COVID deaths from being unvaccinated are 40% of all deaths, coming from only 10% of the population. Your understanding of probability seems to be somewhat faulty.

I would suggest setting up a DUO app on your smartphone, it is tied in to the email address. Then invite others you know to do the same. DUO is far more reliable than LINE when it comes to conversations outside Thailand.

You must be extraordinarily gifted to be able to discriminate between the protection your immune system gave you, and what the vaccines did. Vaccines provoke the immune system into manufacturing antibodies which neutralize the invading bacteria or viruses. Without them, your immune system is starting from scratch in repelling an assault. There are people who have died from COVID without any other conditions present, and the data is saying most those were unvaccinated. Heaven forbid science and statistics should get in the way of your beliefs, based on a sample of one.

Not often I agree with you. Two Police Commissioners in Victoria downplayed the rise in violent crime among Sudanese immigrants, when all the statistics pointed the other way. Nationalities seem to pick a modus operandi, Lebanese are active in drugs in Australia, and Turks seem to specialize in insurance fraud. My attitude is simple. If you are law-abiding, you are welcome to stay, because it enriches any culture. If not, <deleted> off to the hellhole you came from, and no amount of woke lawyers can save you.

Most popular "undeclared ingredient" in COVID vaccines is a nanochip designed by Bill Gates, for unknown reasons. According to social media, where everyone can find information that fits their own confirmation biases. Bill Gates actually predicted COVID back in 2016. He had no idea how many nutters it would spawn.

Stop eating rice if you are overweight, high carbohydrate and causes constipation. It's why many village Thais drink laxative teas. A sieve that can separate the rice from the insects may be the simplest solution, if the sizes are different.

True enough, all life is risk. There are options here as well.

Once my quality of life is gone, I will probably go back to Australia, and take advantage of enlightened assisted dying laws. Unless I get hit by a bus here.

Thanks, maybe some got into OZ, or I am just seeing similarities. This is the male and female king parrot we have.

It looks very like an Australian parrot species, do you have a link for that?
