Lived in Bangkok for 20 years, now enjoying life upcountry.

These alcohol bans seem pointless, only the little family run shops seem to benefit.

Amex Platinum for work expenses, but as it's in my name I can use it for anything. However for private spending I almost always use my Bangkok Bank Mastercard debit card. I used to have a Bangkok Bank Visa card but for some reason Bangkok Bank stopped working with Visa some years back.

Did they build a couple of small power plants at each end of the route? Charging a 40MWh battery in a reasonably short time is no joke. Will they install 200,000 m2 of solar panels? or maybe they plan to use large diesel generators 🤣

I think Thailand in general is better prepared for power outages simply because the grid is less reliable here. Most condos I've lived in over the years had a large diesel generator in the basement for emergencies and all the office buildings I've worked in have had similar backup power, so at least the elevators and lights kept working, but not air conditioning. Now living in a house, we have 2 levels of backup power. First is a couple of fairly large 48V ebike batteries that will run basic lights and fans for days plus charge mobile phones, tablets etc. Second level is a cheap Chinese 5kW generator, it allows us to run the fridge/freezer and use air conditioning plus everything else, but it is quite noisy. I always keep a couple of 20 liter cans of gasoline for emergency, I just cycle them in the wife's car to make sure it doesn't get too old. I guess last resort would be to get in the car and find a hotel somewhere with power.

What an idiot. I hope they find him asap and he gets to spend a few nights in the slammer for assault. Most people these days have dash cams, it's very easy for the cops to get the exact details of who did what.

Strange, I bought some junk on Aliexpress yesterday using my Bangkok Bank Mastercard, around THB 1,500, no OTP, no problems. Maybe give the bank a call and see if they blocked your card for some reason, happened to me a few years ago.

Wild story.

For people looking for actual info, these are the fast charging stations in Thailand: Make sure you can charge at home if you buy and EV.
