I'd buy an MG BEV then, as they come with a lifetime battery warranty. Also cheaper than the Toyota Cross. Take a peek at the MG S5. Toyota Corolla Cross has overall dimensions of 4460mm (length) x 1825mm (width) x 1620mm (height). source: MG Thailand Top Cross model, quite overpriced & underperforming ... IMHO Along with MG S5, much less cost to maintain & operate. You could take that 300k baht saved from buying the premium model, you could get a solar system at the house. Now we're talking, damn near free electric, for home & BEV. How much is your electric & petrol bill now a month. Mine's less than 100 baht, and used to be upwards to 10k baht a month. Work smarter, not harder source: https://www.headlightmag.com/official-price-toyota-corolla-cross-hev-li-ion/

So they say, though just a bunch of hypocrites ... IMHO Do what ever you want, just go to confessional on Sunday, a few hail Marys & some coins in the basket, and start the slate clean every week. I don't know any Christian that isn't a hypocrite, and they always fall back on, 'we were born sinners'. What's really sad is, Atheist that I am, and I'm the most moral person that I know, and a hypocrite at times. But don't make excuses for it.

As written, so assuming, 60 mg tabs. 6 mg would be really expensive.

The same could be said ... there is no hard evidence, that GOD and or an afterlife, does not exist. Myself, I'm a hopeful Atheist. Not agnostic though, just hope to be pleasantly surprised. But with some of the near death, after death & resuscitated experiences ... I'm hopeful, but won't be disappointed if nothing happens. 2 brothers & wives are hard core Christian warriors. The 3rd, not sure, as we don't talk, but his wife is, although Catholic. Not sure if Catholic counts as Christian

I was quoted this from local pharmacy

Had it, and it will pass on it's own. I didn't even bother with meds or drops. Antibodies may or may not help, depending if it is a viral or bacterial infection. For bacterial, Cipro is available in TH, although, if not prescribed that already, do NOT, start using. I actually did that once, even waited till the half life was supposedly well past, and started one penicillin based antibody after a previous one. Big F'g mistake, and my only oops of self medicating for decades of. Talk about muscle & joint pain ... Ouch.

Chicken about the same price at Makro, +/- 10 baht. Fruits & veggies usually much cheaper at local fresh market 👍

Dairy Rich 'full cream', and do a side by side with you present favorite, and you won't be disappointed. Some use it as a creamer in their coffee, and really makes sense over the other powdered creamers.

Also a Mitsubishi fan. Now have 2 heavy duty inverters, and run flawlessly, conditioning much larger area than rated for. Well built & insulated house. Only 2.5 yrs old. One runs almost 24/7 and the other about 10 hrs a day. Use very little electric once up to temp. 4 Mitsubishis in previous house, 7 yrs on, no issues. 3 Mitsubishi in 1st house, 7 yrs on, no issues. Need to keep clean, every 3 to 6 months for us. Take care of them, and they'll take care of you.

shh ... 😎

Wash DC doesn't have a death sentence. Don't know why the news keeps stating he could get the death sentence. Unless I'm missing something. Apparently I am THANKS @Yellowtail

Didn't mention the Cross or steer anyone toward BEV. Just my opinion of Toyota. Think I'm allowed that I could say the same about the anti BEV crowd ... time to give it a break. And Budweiser used to be top selling (may still be) beer, and what are the top selling beers in TH. Being top selling doesn't mean much if the tires fall off, or you get caught submitting different cars for testing than come off the production line. Aside from the trust issue, I think all the Toyotas are overpriced & under spec'd. As long as you're happy, with your choice, that's all that matters. Just wouldn't be mine. I know I've complimented the Corolla Cross a few times, as they do look nice rolling down the highway. Never commented on the ride, since never drove one. Fine example of one of my posts, 2023, after we bought the BEV ... ... "They really do look nice on the highway though, as I see a lot when out and about. Does explain why they are inexpensive, since based on Corolla platform." ...

Got Guess who we won't be asking to watch the kids any time soon

That article in OP is full of cherry picking numbers This might be why it lacks facts ... ... "American potential EV buyers hesitant because of cost will be comforted by this. When it comes." ... This is chuckle worthy also ... or did they forget about the 25% tariff Biden put on EV batteries from China, last year, 2024. And we know Trump isn't a fan of EVs or China, so may even add more. 100% on EV, 25% on EV batteries & 50% on solar cells Puppet - Biden ... Puppeteers - Big Oil ... IMHO Cherry picking old numbers. Ms Google tells me Tesla's 4680 cells cost $50-55 per kWh. And they are only used in the Cybertruck. Actually refining those batteries as we type. Tesla uses BYD Blade batteries, and at present, those get 3000 cycles. The ones in BYD, newer, gets 5000 cycles. CATL at present, guarantees the LFP batteries to auto makers for 1M kms. How many more cycles are practical, to outlast the rest of the car. Our old tech (2 yrs) LFP battery is rated for about 2500 cycles, or 900+k kms for our MG ZS. Some say the 2500 is very conservative, and may be as high as 10k cycles. Doubt if we'll be needing 500k kms. And still retain 70% capacity, after 2500 cycles.

Personally, I'd never buy a Toyota, for same reason I'd never buy a VW. They simply can't be trusted. A few major oops for Toyota of late ... ... tires falling off their EV, resolved ... submitting different vehicles for safety testing than the ones coming off the production line. ... too many recalls All have tarnished their reputation. I did own their Vios, and served me well, POS though for the price point. But sold with low kms on it, around the 125k kms mark, as didn't trust it for the long haul.

Has little to do with the savings, as the flavor is so much better. If it cost the same, or even more, I'd still mix it myself. I've even went to the 7 L per bag, and still taste great. Last price for a box was 2565 baht, for 84 Liters of milk, so just over 61 baht for 2L. https://aseannow.com/topic/1361392-people-keep-posting-thailand-expensive-but-im-not-seeing-it/#findComment-19816718

Until you realize how it works and to use it, as anything new (RTFM) it takes a try to get use to. Myself, picked up the BEV, all tech I've never used before, and took my time on first drive getting use to it. Yes, first time the CC 'idled down' was a WTF moment. Sooner than I expected, then simply followed the suggestion on how to drive. Keep foot near the accelerator, and don't let it engage by simply pressing a bit. Or, when in traffic, disengage the CC. Found it quite simple, and love the way it operates. Can't say the same about lane assist, as the little adjustments to stay in your lane, are annoying, and I disabled that function. Also easy enough. Love the almost 'one foot' driving. and regen slowing down, rarely touch the brakes.

Whoa, that's my neighborhood. Went to the park early this morning, before noon, or we probably would have seen the smoke plume. That sucks ... R I P

We contracted a builder to build it. Contract had 'allotments' broken down for roof, tile, cabinets, fixtures (toilet & sinks), painting, doors & windows, all based on blueprint. Block & concrete/cement was all fixed price, and just told her which type of block to use. Sparky & plumbing was also fixed. We actually shopped for and ordered the roofing material (BluScope rolled steel), fixtures and picked out all the tiles. Along with cabinets. Her pricing was very good, and we weren't far off at all. Used a different sliding doors & window crew, than hers, after viewing her previous builds, and didn't care for her subcontractors materials that they used. Some things we picked out were cheaper, and just moved the balance over to things we picked that were more expensive. Actually balanced out pretty good, very surprisingly.
