I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the taste. I usually buy the 946ml cartons of Meiji for 50 baht which usually stay fresh for about a week after opening.

So what's the verdict? Does the NZ powdered milk taste as good as Meiji fresh milk?

Both of those would be near bottom of my list. The Deepal S05 looks much better. https://www.changan.co.th/en/deepal/s05-en/

Possibly, although I wouldn't park it too close to your house if the battery has been repaired by Somchai...

That's what puts me off buying any newer car. I'm still driving a 20+ year old Toyota which is very reliable and easy to repair. I saw a 1 year old AWD BYD Seal listed for 878,000 (must be eye watering for those early adopters who paid 1.5MB). It looked tempting but then I thought about repairability after the warranty expires which made me think twice. At least a local mechanic might have a chance of fixing an 8 year old ICE car but if you have an EV you are stuck with the extortionate dealer prices.

ICE technology has reached maturity but EVs haven't. Buying an EV now is like catching a falling knife in terms of pricing. Newer and better models are being launched every 6 months or so which significantly reduces the value of older models.

After the sugar tax the drinks manufacturers just replaced sugar with artificial sweeteners which are just as bad for your health but also taste like ****. The sugar tax was only successful in increasing profit margins since artificial sweeteners are much cheaper than sugar.

A landlord has no right to hold someone's passport. They are only entitled to keep a photocopy.

Detained for what? They left a bit of a mess but the landlord can deduct it from the deposit and still make a profit.

What happens if one of those 10 cars pulls out to overtake without looking behind?

Looks like at least one ladyboy in the video...look at those broad shoulders of the one in the black dress.

Looks like Neta Auto is about to go bust... https://carnewschina.com/2025/05/14/troubled-neta-auto-faces-potential-bankruptcy-rather-than-toyota-acquisition/ They are going to leave a lot of unhappy creditors behind...this could have a major impact on the Thai auto industry. Apparently they owe Nissan Leasing (Thailand) 10 billion baht! https://www.nationthailand.com/business/automobile/40047841

Then compare with the Chinese specs and price: BYD Seal 2025 in China, comes with LiDAR and 800V architecture, starting at 860,000 baht.

Unfortunately the population is not flat due to mass immigration so GDP per capita is actually decreasing. That's why everyone is getting poorer.
