Look at it as a bonus, youll never get a fine and despite what they say you can still tax  your  vehicles with existing fines.

I have seen it, he cuts straight in front of her over the white line and stops, having said that she also crossed over the white line. 

I got a ticket for that 500b fine, caught on camera,  on a badly signed junction, and there were no other cars around at the time.  

youre probably looking at deportation at the very least

sure, why not (there’s already a Facebook page dedicated that - bad driving Thailand)..

 

Does you video show any Thai spitting at and hitting someone else car, throwing thing at them & threatening a lone female ? 

Have a  choice , I have man jumps queue at traffic  light and waves  machete at stupid farang whose in his  way, or 2  men must go first in a  queue of traffic caused by dawdling other man hogging outside lane then they both eventually squeezing by and the other undertaking on hard shoulder ploughing straight into parked car, or  moron probably  looking at phone ploughs into back of  car at 10mph in traffic  queue, your  choice.

The best one is  mr tailgater "Im in a  hurry" but this is a two for one as we also have mr boy racer showing his  prowess at the end in spectacular fashion

Welcome to the new post-swissgate Thailand, where shaming the farang on social media is your civic duty -- not that this guy doesn't deserve it. What a common thug.

 

One can only hope the worst foreign offenders clean up their act, but it is a disturbing trend.  

Most of us have been guilty of gesticulating or showing frustration when cut off or similarly endangered. I generally just give a thumbs up when something happens and I'm on the bicycle, but the finger used to be my go to,  back in the old country.   

 

 

can i show my Thai shaming  videos , got a  few , Mr Impatience in both cases.

Have a "Roll-back" truck cruising the area... if it's parked illegally... move it to a compound with a heavy fine to come get it released.

keep  that sheite in the west thanks

more  poor  design at the construction stage as usual, they could  have easily  implemented and area to pull into for taxis etc and people being dropped  off

You do not touch, just look was and is the rule. The only thing you should ever take to the surface is rubbish or lost gear you come across. It's only Thais who getaway with desecration of the sea.

and  land, theyll strip a pond  bare of ANY size  fish

I'm not bothered about the cost but I am fed up with my AC dripping water. They are regularly serviced but after about 4-5 months the main bedroom one which is used by far the most drips. This has happened before in other places I have lived, some with new ACs and some with older models and in different rooms.

Should I run it colder than 24? I usually leave the Mode in auto.

Any suggestions?

 Ive  found this due to poor  drainage  pipes on them, I re  installed  2  of  mine with new drain pipes and they have never  dripped  since, the third  I didnt do as the drain was in the  floor and I suspect has a  dip in  it where water sits  and  pools. This  one  fills  up in the drain tray and pipe with a  clear  jelly which I wash out every 5  months I also stick a wet vac  on the pipe to suck the sludge  out then pour  bleach down it. I bought aircons all new with an easily removal drain tray as it was a  big problem before. If they made the drain trays with a  wider  drain hole  and a  wider  drain pipe it would help a  lot.

Some condo management are more enlightened than others and have already installed charging points, but right now it’s very few.

 

You could charge it at one of the many fast DC Chargers around, but it’s probably going to take you 20-30 minutes and whilst it’s still around 2-3 times cheaper than petrol/diesel, it’s probably 1.7 to 2 times more expensive than your own charging point.

 

If I lived in a condo I would still have an EV but it’s too much hassle for many people.

 The  problem is  my wife  lives in a  condo of 270 rooms and its adjoining condo another 400 all the same developer (27 and 37  floors ) and these arent cheap condos, they start at 4 million for a  studio and up to 22million, they have installed 2 charging points.

Theyre going to need  to stick a  charging point in every car park space they have and thats going to be an incredible challenge from many angles.

We have or have had 4 BEV’s, I will never buy an ICE car again.

 

I enjoy the supercar like performance, the silence of the driving experience and waking up to a full tank of electrons.

 

It’s also a big plus knowing it’s between 10 and 140 times LESS LIKELY to catch fire than a legacy ICE car and much less likely to break down as it has 100 times less moving parts than an ICE car.

why have you  had 4?  or  is it a 4 adult  household? if you only keep them a  short  time how  will you  know their longer term reliability and manufacturers adherence to their guarantee?

Last June I sold my Triton and bought a Neta V. 3500 kms per month primarily for the school run was costing approx 8000 bht per month in the Triton. Cost for the NETA V has been between 1500 and 1700 bht using PEA off peak tariff. It gets charged up every night using the slow granny charger supplied by Neta. Really enjoying the EV experience so far and just waiting for a decent lectric pickup to appear in Thailand.

isnt  keeping them fully charged and "every night"  going to degrade your  battery faster?

Current  electric pick ups have VERY  low range when loaded up, checkout Ford F150 lightning range when towing etc
