Sounds more like it.. And no, didn't bother reading OP, just headline. As the AI news is so silly any more, I don't waste my time. Headline and maybe first paragraph, if that. AI seems to try to sensationalize the most trivial happenings.

8 hrs put a limit on options. Takes that long at least, with no traffic, just to get to Cha Am, on the west side, maybe Bang Saen on East of Gulf. Might want to consider hopping a plane southward, pick a non stop, as see where that gets you. Samui, Chumphon, Krabi, Phuket airports would be 1.5 hr away from Phit airport.

Still open

Do you plan on swimming in, or just looking ? How far away is too far ? Do you self drive or rely on public trans ? Do you want easy, or inexpensive ? How much time do you have, limited, or doesn't matter ? Central TH ?

Damn inflation ... used to be 50k baht

Haven't been to RU or CH, but I left USA, because not a fan of the way I was treated. Or how USA treats the rest of the world, (ex: invade & occupy), and almost just as bad, how USA treats it's own citizens. SHAMEFUL ... IMHO

Just highlights my believe that most religious folks are a bit hypocritical, in so many ways. Especially Catholics. Big difference from what is preached to what is practiced ... IMHO Not that I'm deep into their believe, but some of headlines and their actions, lifestyles certainly differ.

Haven't met me ... 23+ yrs on, and still have a few baht left Not sure if 46 was young, but 69 still is 😎

... from all your posts, you haven't a clue about anything you're talking about.

Never stated or thought it wasn't. No reason why TH isn't energized by solar, hydro, wind ... oh wait, there is a reason. Same every sunny country isn't. But we all know that & why. That's why some of us don't wait for others to act on our behalf, as we know they won't. If not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem.

Lancaster would be a good choice for 'you' 😎 Always liked Lancaster. Some more 'friendly' places, form link, although only Philly or Harrisburg would really interest me. Philly, first choice. Never been to Erie, (only one) and might be interesting, though cold, showy winters, I think. That could be fun though with snow mobile. Found the gay cruising area at Harrisburg by accident while working (air freight truck driving) and use to park at the 'city island' for my scenic lunch break. Wondered why I was getting eyeballed all the time by everyone. Buddy at the depot got a kick out of that when I told him.

Explains everything ... nuff said

I was replying to someone implying TH uses a lot of coal, and has little to no hydro. It's a work in progress ... less oil & coal is a good thing. Don't you think ? Not too bad for a 3rd world country ... IMHO Making huge strides in solar, or at least trying.

Wow ... surprised of the ignorance some show when posting. You obviously don't get out much.

New Hope is a great, quaint town. Gay, bi or not. Always had fun there. If I could afford to buy there, along the river, I know I wouldn't have left the USA. 1/2 from Princeton Uni. <1 hr downtown Philly 1.5 hr NYC 1.5 hr Jersey shore, if that's your thing 1.5 hr Delaware Water Gap/Poconos Close to world class medical facilities Museums, culture, music & excellent food of all kinds. Less than 2 hrs away from so many things & most Yank family & friends of mine. I would never get bored, as I sometimes do here, obviously.

We have no battery worries for 8 yrs, and what would an 8 yr car be worth ? Not much as far as I'm concerned. We'll only have about 150-175k kms on it by then. As I say, expect 500k, at least. I won't be around around anyway. What if scenarios don't concern me. I know I wouldn't want any ICEV after 8 yrs, that's for sure. A timebomb waiting to constantly need repair. So we're way ahead in that aspect.

How long are the warranties on ICEV ? Tells you what ... the same. A vid, from a stranger ... great info source. Have a nice day ...

What if scenarios ... nobody knows what would happen in a nuke war. As far as we know, all the nukes won't even function, or even exist. Again, people are relying on info from their lying govts

I do, and well over 500k kms. Our Mazda 2 (2012) is on it's way out, at <200k kms, and it was well taken care of. Daughter just got rid of it, and was happy to only get of it for 70k baht, so that's pretty sad. Very happy with her Atto 3. Repeat posting and surely you've seen it a few time, but conveniently, simply ignore it. Many consider 2500 cycles to be conservation.

I believe you are referring more to the ICEV makers. But hey, keeps spewing the same thing over & over, even when the complete opposite has been posted many times. Life expectancy of the batteries (LPF) and electric motors are designed to outlast the rest of the car. Far long than ICEV drivetrains & exhaust systems.

You do realize you are contradicting yourself. As pointed out, can buy condos only. And I doubt many Thais are dumb enough to sign a 30 yr lease on house, when they can simply buy. Wouldn't sign 30 yr lease for anywhere. TH is the only place I ever stayed at one locations for more than 3 years.

The why doesn't matter, the requirement at the time did.

What legal visa would you have that would allow you to stay in country? Fine if 50 yrs old and got 800k to plop in bank account, then yea, no prob.

If I really thought the end was near, I'd make some arrangements to last at least 6 months without the need to leave the house. Maybe a whole rainy season to have radiation 'dust' at least out of the air. If any chance of surviving long term. I'm only 69 yrs old, wife & kid much younger

With that much concern ... any preparation for your inevitable NA. Starting to store; food, rice, canned meats, water, installing solar. Above or below ground bunker ? Tick Tock ... the end is near
