Or are they simply saying you can't have your cake and eat it? Because the TOU meter has a higher daytime electric rate than a standard meter so it's better for low daytime users. Seems fair that you can only have one meter. Why should EV owners get special treatment?

The TOU meter is for selling electricity at night when demand is lower hence the price is lower? If so, why do they care if you are using it to charge an EV or for something else?

Even if he had he been awake, the outcome would have been the same since he woke up as soon as he heard the explosion. Since living in a condo, the balcony was probably the most suitable place he could charge it. Maybe it's a good idea to buy a fire extinguisher if you own one of these dangerous battery products.

As far as I can tell there is no difference...just a different import batch I think.

Model Year 2024 are just an extra 50,000 baht. I'm guessing they have quite a lot of unsold inventory now. Special price MY23 BYD SEAL Dynamic model (MY23) 949,900 baht BYD SEAL Premium model (MY23) 1,049,000 baht BYD SEAL AWD Performance model (MY23) 1,149,000 baht Special price MY24 BYD SEAL Dynamic model (MY24) 999,900 baht BYD SEAL Premium model (MY24) 1,099,000 baht BYD SEAL AWD Performance model (MY24) 1,199,000 baht

They won't be able to buy them back if they go out of business. Nor will they be able to honour any previous warranties. Even at 299k I wouldn't touch Neta with a bargepole.

Perhaps tourists should only be allowed to smoke inside licensed weed shops and not be allowed to take any away. That would also help prevent them trying to smuggle it on their flights home.

Internal sources report unpaid debts to suppliers exceeding 6 billion yuan (833 million USD), with battery giant CATL among those halting deliveries. As a result, Neta’s domestic production has stopped, further delaying overseas orders despite having secured a 2.15 billion yuan (nearly 300 million USD) credit line in Thailand."

You seem to have a problem with reading comprehension. I would be very happy if they reduced their prices in Thailand. I'm not anti-EV or anti-China, I just think their prices in Thailand are currently too high. I'm waiting for the right time to buy an EV when the market in Thailand is more mature like in China and there's more choice and more competition.

Just shows you how overpriced EVs in Thailand currently are. BYD are still making a profit at those China prices while they rip us off with outdated models at higher prices. And they are ripping off the taxpayer too, selling at these inflated prices even after the large government subsidy.

"The reduction in high-end wine prices by over 10% has further fuelled demand among affluent buyers, while cheaper wines saw little price change. The financial implications extend beyond tax losses. The study estimates the broader social costs, including increased risks of accidents, domestic violence, and negative impacts on youth." So are teenagers now drinking high-end wine? Is Somchai drinking high-end wine before beating his wife? Well I never...

It's gonna be tricky without some scales unless someone can measure the density of the milk powder for you. But I have a feeling whatever the ratio, it's not going to taste as good as fresh milk.

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
