Why don't you like the remote? Please share? Would a 'generic' remote (useable with multiple brands) be better?

Can use both Thai and English language on the keyboard?

Thanks, appreciated. One question, My Thai son now has a smaller EV, it's used daily by son's Thai wife, mostly 2 trips in the morning to take kids to 3 different schools (approx. total of 20 km, some local Big C shopping, then 2 trips in the afternoon to bring kids home from school (approx. 20 km.). Dealer advised my son to plug in about 9 pm every evening, would that mean a cheaper electricity rate?

SkyNews left biased? Rather doubt that SKyNews (operates in many countries) is a flagship of the global Murdoch / News Empire.

EV owners - What's your estimate of monthly electricity costs to recharge your car?

All true, but many / most citizens of these countries are quite happy with the fact that health care is paid for by tax dollars. I am.

Scorecard says hello and bye bye. Done.

Ignore 'confused', this member is confused about everything / every post. Probably even confused whether Tuesday follows Monday.

Wow, you're a laugh a minute.

I read an article a few days ago mentioning that trump has already indicated Vance will be gone within six months. Vance is a motor mouth and a danger to society and should be gone.

Son bought this well prepared booklet (prepared in colour by the Land Transport office, Bkk in Thai and in English) at a See-Ed bookshop but this was 15+ years ago. At that time my son was still at uni. One of his very respected professors noticed the booklet and borrowed it from my son to have enough copies made in colour for all students in son's uni year. It includes many subjects , discusses many traffic scenarios, who must stop / who can proceed etc. Also lists danger situations and how drivers should respond etc. It also includes many pages of pictures of road traffic signs and explanation of what they mean and explains what drivers must do / cannot do etc., when they see such signs. And their importance for safety.

Example: My Thai son went to a driving school in Bkk to check their rates etc. Son asked 'does the course include teaching me the 'rules of the road?' Response from driving school owner ' there is no such thing in Thailand so how can I teach that? ' Son knew well there are Thai traffic laws/ codes / regulations etc., he had a multi page booklet published by the Land Transport office. Son showed the booklet to the driving school owner who got angry and insisted the booklet was fake and was not issued in Thailand. Son highlighted the Land Transport Office logo and started to call the 4 digit quick call code. Driving school owners thug son appeared and indicated 'disappear now or I will rearrange your face.' Son disappeared, came home and did mor google search for driving schools in bkk. He found many, called and asked about the 'rules of the road' being included, found a school and started lessons the next day. School covered everything including appointment for driving test. Son passed.

Important point. My Thai son's wife has an older brother and an older sister. Both her brother and sister make regular demands for: money, vehicles, land, houses and more. Son's wife is very frightened of her scaly loud abusive older brother , both have completed 3 years of primary school and nothing more and they are ignorant of any government procedures, regulations etc. I don't blame son's wife of being afraid of them. A few weeks back DIL's r elder brother and sister (together) demanded she hand over her husband's (my Thai son's): bankbooks*, chanut for the land recorded in sons' name, blue books for his 3 vehicles (car, pick up, mcy). She refused and quickly fled out of the house and called her husband to report what had just happened. (*and they indicated they would go to the loc bank(s) and get blank withdrawal forms and they would be expecting son's wife to trick her husband into signing the withdrawal forms. This was an 'updated move', they had previously taken blank withdrawal forms from K Bank , then they went to another bank with the K Bank withdrawal form which they had signed themselves and demanded the second bank hand over the cash amount written on the withdrawal form. Bank cashier refused and was threaten with violence. police called, Big brother and sister taken to local police station.

In Thailand, during Covid I received 2 'bonus' payments each of AUD250.

I'm lost. Does this mean a normal pension rise around 20 Marcg. Plus a bonus: AUD950 rise in the standard fortnightly rate, or a once off payment of AUD950?

"Exorbitant amounts" ... reminds me of a very wealthy American who met a young Thai man, Thai already married with 3 young kids. Thai man had a dream of setting up a dairy farm with all modern equipment, selling large amounts of milk / milk products to Japanese operators in Thailand and more. Wealthy American offered to pay for land for a dairy and all high tech buildings equipment, cows and a salary of 300,000Baht a month to the young Thai man if he left his wife and kids and didn't contact them. Thai man left his wife and proceeded to plan /design / build the dairy farm, buy the equipment / vehicles etc., all paid for by the American. Then the Thai man got greedy, demanding a 3Baht weight gold necklace every month and a big BMW car and more. Then the Thai man committed suicide. Then his estranged wife had the land, and all the dairy operations transferred to her ownership. She then asked the American to employ a Thai manager to operate the farm, reporting to her. She became quite wealthy and used her rising wealth to educate her 3 kids at the best schools. American returned to the USA a broken man.

And I guess you mean that 'the rest of us' are perfect people. What classifies anybody as being in 'the rest of us' group?

I can't understand why Power banks are not required to be designed / built to much better standards. A fire on board in a Power bank to me indicates one thing - very poor design / manufacture.

Surely 3BB can accept payments online.

Good point / good strategy.

OK, so will she also give him full authority o speak on behalf of Thailand, make / state decisions on behalf of Thailand, guarantee payments from Thailand, and sign documents on behalf of Thailand and / or his daughter?

Also not authorized to sign any documents of behalf of Thailand.
