I have had some local experience of a rape case being taken lightly I am sad to say. Not a tale for here. 

I have  a  personal experience of a machete wielding nut job trying to hack at me  as I was in his  way when he jumped a traffic  light queue almost hitting me in the process. Right outside a  police station which I reported and nothing was done, they initially told me to go away to another station as they were too  lazy to do anything. The other station told me to go back to them, nothing was  done they didnt even contact the nutjob. The second police station were more helpful they  looked up his  car reg  number and immediately told me he was a not  good  person, they knew him apparently.

NO that's what "reciprocal" means... 

No it means that the Thais  should  have an equal punishment when they commit a  similar  crime when often its not, thats what I MEAN.

Finger pointing at others in order to justify one's actions is juvenile... that's what johnny does on the schoolyard... and basing the punishment for committing a crime on what other people are doing is so "woke equity thinking" that it is utterly ridiculous... 

you like putting words  into my  mouth it seems Im as  anti woke as you can imagine, when they start administering the law equally here I may change my  mind, they currently dont.

There’s no *if* about it ! There is no excuse for violence , one sees so much of it on TV and in the news. One must ask oneself what sort of man does hit / smack/ hurt a woman, especially for such minor reasons.  What else is such a man capable of ? 

ask the many Thais who do it and often is ignored and much worse than the Swiss  guy.

Thais welcome everyone with friendliness but cannot accept it if they are treated with disrespect.

A Thai relative is contemplating replacing her nearly 20 years old Toyota with a new Chinese made Electric car. I have advised caution because of the lack of information on how long they last. They have only been on the road in Thailand for just over 2 years.

Has any member experience of them and can advise me further?

come back in 20 years and  let us  know they havent been here  long enough, personally I wouldnt buy one now, id  wait at least another 5  years to see how it pans out until there is more  real world  data on them especially Chinese made ones I wouldnt be sure on how  well theyd  honour  warranties and I tend to keep cars 10 years or so. Im still not convinced theyre  the be all and  end  all or even close. They have some advantages  but for me  too many disadvantages  currently. If they can dramatically increase range  and charging times maybe 1000km also it makes no sense to lug around a  ton plus of battery weight continually they need to make them lighter.

and before anyone starts  telling me how great they are Im not interested I dont need  stats for " most trips are just 40km a  day etc" or  "I charge free  from solar" or " new  battery tech is here now" when it  isnt.

I do like the  design of the electric cars but the touch screens are  often their  biggest flaw, dont want to wade thru 10 menus to adjust things.

Toyota have a good  reputation I dont think the Chinese  have had a long  enough track record yet.

I dont have an electric  car so this may be of no use to you, youd  be better off  asking people who have had one what they DISLIKE but  many tend to be way to "evangelistic" ...............just wait and see in this thread. Ask people who bought one then went back to an ICE as  well.

Has hamster boy got it  in his cheeks?

wishful thinking... these flaggadans will find a way... they'll opt for prison so they can dodge the draft...

and actually millennials were initially known as the teflon generation... cos nothing stuck...

Ill willingly include any generation after 1990 i dont want to offend any of those generations, I couldnt live with myself if i did

if there are protests they are hushed by the media. this new generation z is rather teflon coated and dont really seem bothered by the despotism that puke thai i really doubt anything will happen. the real generation of protesters is either too old or too comfortable to protest...

Always  reckoned it  was  time for another war  in the world to level things up and show genz (whatever we need these new dumb words for) what the real worlds  like, see  how  good  their tiktoks are when theyre  holding their best friends head  half  missing   in their  hands on a battlefield, all of  a  sudden you wont see any offended  pronouns sheite again  from them.
