I am not an avid fan or follower of the Prime Minister but on this occasion his reaction is to be applauded "Srettha said it is not appropriate to verbally amplify this incident as people in Thailand should live in peace with this small issue already being managed. He added that he did not want something like this to occur but since it did he has instructed the police and Tourism and Sports Ministry to take care of the situation and underscore to foreign tourists and foreigners living here that they must strictly abide by the law." He has certainly reacted more appropriately than the usual mob on here, Although perhaps it would have been better for him to advise "all" people to abide by the law, I hope he does not get deported, trial by media is just plain wrong trial by social media is even worse.

So she apparently is not a "doctor" but is studying, so that effectively makes her a student does it not, I am not saying that makes his behaviour towards her acceptable but embellishing her status will certainly help in encouraging outrage amongst the usual netizens, not that they need any encouragement

I would say in this case that a "Wai" and 500 bt would be a perfectly appropriate conclusion, at least it would have been before any media involvement and the congregation of a baying mob

Are you seriously suggesting that people should be deported for being "arrogant" In that case they would do well to start with people who use a word like "ajarn" in their user name. Who on earth told you that would be a good Idea,

So you saw a baying mob and decided to join in with a predictable newbie comment, have you considered the possibility that having "seen" the complete lack of any evidence of an assault, the powers that be realise it is a little unrealistic to attempt to deport him, for merely the use of some strong "foreign " language. A concept that the hang em high brigade on here seem unable to grasp

I'd like to think the vast majority of normal, reasonable , people regardless of their nationality would not be so quick to join a baying mob of internet vigilantes based on very very flimsy evidence. Truly astonishing behaviour, although not unexpected from the permanently angry "netizens" which a few on here are starting to become

The video shows absolutely nothing, except the use of some strong language which the women probably could not understand, Have you even actually watched it? If so please enlighten us as to the exact point the assault takes place. Did he allegedly assault the woman on the left or the woman on the right, I have now watched it dozens of times, also in slow motion and I would say there is absolutely no evidence of any "assault" Come on prove me wrong, I'm not saying he behaved correctly and I am not disputing any claims the woman is making, but I am saying there is no evidence to back up her claims on that video

If hydrogen power ever hits the mainstream there is no real reason why it would be any cheaper than petrol , which presumably will have ceased to be available. I cant see into the future but I strongly believe that once the governments have had their pound of flesh, and the energy companies have got their heads together and devised a way to shaft motorists the cost of driving an EV will be very similar to the cost of driving a mainstream ICE today probably more allowing for inflation People are struggling to pay their electric bills as it is. That is not by accident nor purely as a result of Ukraine or covid 19. They are fleecing us at every opportunity and will of course continue to fleece us as new opportunities arise. When I was a kid we were told that nuclear power would mean virtually free electric for everybody "in the future". remember that? Enjoy your cheap EV motoring while you can , but rest assured all good things must or rather will come to an end

Yea yea thats what they said about diesel prices in the UK when they were recommending we all drove those for environmental reasons, A few years down the line when many had switched to diesel it was a completely different story. Without the benefit of time travel you cannot possibly know that it will always be cheaper than petrol. you cannot know how the authorities will continue to fleece the motorist,

There will be an ownership tax too but I imagine there will be a mileage based charge as well, we'll just have to wait and see,

Well he spent so much time in those places he considered it poll tax

Jesus its not rocket science, they could simply supply you with a separate meter, hard wired to your charging device with a tamper proof seal. The new smart meters being forced on the UK population are probably intended for that very purpose, or soon will be , Its just a fad at the moment , once it becomes mainstream , rest assured they will have their pound of flesh one way or the other.

Why ?

So you have conveniently ignored the possibility that electricity used for recharging EV's will be subject to a levy. If we all stopped buying petrol or diesel how would you expect governments to recoup the lost revenue ? Or maybe there will be a special tax on coffee and muffins, maybe even a public toilet tax. The money will need to come from somewhere.

And time for your warm milky night time drink, Or will you be donning the driving gloves and rally jacket , before heading out to race people away from the traffic lights.

Cheaper to take up knitting, plus one could compare ones latest steering wheel covers, whilst waiting to get hooked up to the leccy supply

well thinking is obviously not your strong point, better you leave it to the monks.

How large a sum would you like to lose, ?

I recently visited an Amazon and a blueberry muffin and a large coffee cost over 100 baht what do you drink Birdy out of a can? do you honestly think it will still be 8baht per kwh in the unlikely event that we all end up with an ev ? get real

A suitable hotel presumably means one with a charging point, bet there's no shortage of them "overnight in my car" Is that really any way to behave "heat pump" or not ?

it would be essential, you probably can turn it on but allow around a week to fully charge

And we will soon need entertaining whilst queuing to get into 7=11 and amazon and the "rest room" no need to worry about that though as the spectacle of dozens of geriatric ev owners, resplendent in flat caps and driving gloves, fighting to get hooked up to a charging point will be entertaining enough, I can see a sub industry of barbers shops , laundrettes and massage parlours to name but a few, getting ready to set themselves up on every forecourt. best pack the" travel chess" too, there will be no pornhub to watch when the batteries are flat . What about those "i-Spy" books, they will be making a come back soon I guess.

I would not class petrol; as particularly expensive, at around 35p per litre its considerably cheaper than the coffee served in either of the above

nothing untenable about my position , I'm not the one following what is basically a woke trend, and attempting to justify it with repeated b/s

So buying as it approaches a high is good advice there's plenty like you here ex financial advisors who spent time in the SAS
