We don't even need more than 76kw, as that is what our car will accept. Charged 4X while O&A recently, from 22% - 67% when plugging in, and car was back to 90-95% before we were done, doing what ever needed to be done, while at the charging station. From 3 of us using the toilet, to a meal, or just a simple P, coffee & pastry. Might be different if we could actually drive somewhere, anywhere at 100+ kph, but since we average ~80 kph, if lucky, the 3+ hrs is more time than I want to spend in the car. We average only 70 kph, so that's 4+ hrs before actually needing to charge, and still have a nice reserve, at 20%. We're lucky if we make 2 hrs, before one of us needs a break for what ever reason. And if having kids, good luck with that. Nice that the tech is available, but I really doubt that most need. Or willing to pay extra for, until it's standard, then will rarely be used, except long weekend in TH, when Qs are at the CS, or so I read.

Bon Cafe coffee, ground or beans, available at their shops, or sold at chain stores you don't want recommended, with so many other name brands. I preferred Bon Cafe's 'Morning Blend', tastiest for me, and added plus of being their least expensive. Finding ground coffee in TH, BKK, shouldn't be a problem.

Y'all do realize, I live in a village, (one 4 way staggered intersection, no stop sign) outside of a real town, 5 kms away, that has <26k people living there. My closest neighbor is further than 100 meters away @novacova You don't drive, but guessing you don't walk everywhere either.

Why would anyone use a vendor that charges you to enter, to spend money there ? One thing no Thai vendor will get from me, an entrance fee, to spend money, to eat your food. 7-11 is looking better everyday ... We eat ~90% of our meal at home anyway. We dined out 2X this month, I think, in over 2 weeks at home. Less than one week on the road this month. 1 local restaurant, and Pizza Co.

I think they'll live, considering all the crap they burn at times. They just started municipal trash pick up, and few utilize it, as it isn't mandatory. So nuff said there. I was curious, so I actually weighed those 2 bags of 'bags', and easily more than 1 year worth of bags. Since most / 95% of our shopping is done at Makro.

Oh please. I'll put my environment impact on the planet (that doesn't need saving) against 99.9% of the AN members, and come out way ahead. Most are still using fossil fuels for all your transport and energy needs. We have 3 BEVs & charge with excess solar at the house. 99+% off grid. So save your hypocrisy, about us burning maybe 1 kg worth of plastic a year. Coming up on 3 years of Solar (Aug 2022), and 99+% of our energy, comes from solar. Less than 1% from the grid, and 99+% of all local driving, from solar also. Y'all crack me up. THANKS for the chuckles Inverter is telling me, we sent more to the grid, than we used Since it's already there, again, it's a byproduct of something already being done, so use it.

Is that really a surprise ? Having more CSGs, although, they are spread out kind of thin. Irrelevant, as USA will never be involved against CH or RU. Any other country isn't a match, and or, are allies.

You really are this ignorant. Should have googled paper vs plastic bags ... Here's a few tidbits ...

Iran ranks about 16th out of 145 countries in military strength ... https://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-listing.php#:~:text=1,PwrIndx: 0.4835

Before we bought one, SAIC / MG, didn't know any. Still don't, except a few of the ones on offer here. 2020, picked up the MG ZS ICE version, but knew about MG, being from CH, once the MG3 arrived, and what a POS, even at the silly entry price. The HEV version might be quite nice though. Actually wasn't looking to buy the ZS when we did, just happen to see it, when giving the MG3 a second peek to see if they improved it, as ready for new car. The MG ZS EV was overpriced & underspec'd at the time, 2020.

Didn't even know we had it, and as stated ... "Probably a take away", from restaurant, as they seem to like putting pastry in paper containers & bags. Stupid actually, since absorb moisture. Would never buy, and haven't seen for sale, well, never looked for. Don't want termite food in the house. During scamdemic, everything was was wrapped in plastic, 2 or 3X Plastic is bad, paper is good ... what a scam, and y'all fell for it 🙄

You need proper dress also, or did last time there, during scamdemic, if going in or up.

@brfsa2 MG4 comes with lifetime battery warranty. EP does not. And MG4 is under the budget ... have to peek at the 'promo' page, or you don't see the sale prices.

Doesn't last very long. About 3 months of trash, mostly plastic bags & plastic packaging goes up, then out within minutes. As stated earlier, most everything goes to the compost pile or sold. Couple coffees & pastry, maybe, for our trouble. Just hope part of the sold crap actually gets recycled. 50% would be a nice number, though doubtful.

No, closer to BKK. Off Hwy 4, cutting through Nakhon Pathom No view today, as raining. So, staying topical. Snap from March 2015 ? One of my first out of town drone adventures, I think.

Irrelevant if they can, or can't, or will, or won't. Puppeteers of MSM will tell you it will affect oil prices, and get to blame Trump for it. Win Win. And the idiot masses will believe it, like all the other BS they get fed. You expect the masses to think for themselves, that's funny. When has that ever happened ????

Now we're talking ... higher oil prices = higher inflation ... That didn't take long ... ROCK ON IRAN ... Stand tall, don't be bullied by imperialistic West

@novacova Why would anyone buy paper bag, when most have more plastic bags than they'd ever use. Kind of defeats the whole purpose, as not only are you trashing your extra bags, you buying paper bags to throw away. Hey, I found a paper bag in the house. Probably a take away from nice restaurant the other day. Useful for holding plastic bottles

I have no use of paper. I'm not an idiot, and cutting down trees is the last thing people should do. Farms can not regenerate trees as fast as the logging industries destroys them. Another fallacy someone stated on this thread. Ever try reusing a paper bag ? Repeating your silliness, doesn't make it any truer. Paper cost more to produce, uses more energy to produce, and due to size & weight, more energy to transport. Along with takes up more space in landfills. Also can not be recycled as many times. Cons all around. Plastic Rocks. BYE BYE

that's why they don't get it, as I don't want in landfill or the Gulf

Hey .... WTF I was Canadian during the Gulf invasion & occupation ... for profits 🙄 Back in the 1% ... though prefer that to be a 'financial' reference. OK, 5% now, as brackets are steeper. Oh crap, better make that 10%, maybe even 20% ... F'me Actually AN hasn't changed, as thought it sucked as TV, and was a member, but think I post <20 times, way back when. Didn't realize AN was TV, or I wouldn't have bothered. TBH ... not sure how long I'll last. Not sure I'll make the 4 yr mark, to update BEV & Solar thread, as lost interest there also. Why I joined to begin with. Except for past couple days, I haven't posted much, and only because 2 members really enjoy repeating themselves but state nothing new. For some reason, I replied to them. Hey, it's raining, again today also. Done editing photos & vids, along with out of movies and TV series to watch.

So far, all the delivery services (not located in BKK), have been excellent. ... KEX ... Flash ... SXD ? ... ThaiPost Except the international ones (UPS, DHL, etc), overpriced & crap. My experience anyway, along with almost guaranteed to get hit with customs duty, and silly priced at that.

Besides the above 'Fazwaz', just Google 'property to rent bangkok' and you'll get a couple more sites, although many have the same listings, same & different pricing ... ... DD property ... thailand property & few more You can filter in the area, or even the BTS/MRT stop on some sites. Quite handy, as you do want to be near a rail line, or at least a bus line. If seeing something that interest, cross reference the complex, building name, or find using Gmaps, and you may get some more info & reviews on Gmaps. Also streetview, to see actually what is in the area. Good Luck

Same reason most people don't abuse alcohol, drugs, or even food. They simply chose a better, healthier lifestyle for themselves.
