People really need to stop saying that, unless they want to come off as being extremely ignorant. Maybe on a weekend or long weekend, to/from tourist destinations, there might be a Q. Of course, you could have spent the 40 baht extra, and booked a time slot. Or simply go to next CS down the road. Our last O&A was on a long holiday weekend, and no Q's anywhere for us, or anyone waiting more than 5 mins for us to finish.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the LFP batteries in BEVs now. Will there be improvements in the future, density, weight, range, cost ... of course, but takes nothing away from what's available now. Those that want to wait, for new tech to be mass produced at a reasonable price, 5 yrs from now, well feel free, though you are missing out on savings & performance now. UP2U

Joint collaboration, since I can't buy RE, or research the Thai sites, bank sites where she found present land house is on (@ bank site), for better value. Buying for ฿76k, with lot of same size, 4 lots down, sold for ฿460k. Along with finding land for 2nd house, on Thai site. And she does almost all the manual labor. She built our greenhouse, every aspect of it, welding, roofing, fencing. Negotiated the ฿1.1M price for present house, and play liaison with builder for 2nd house, to make sure things done correctly. Along with land department getting 6 rai chop to 2 rai + four 1 rai lots. She redid the plumbing of present house, as they sucked at it. Without her, I would not have got the price for the first house, that we did, and at best broke even, instead of 50% profit, as she did a lot of the work prepping to sell. She has earned her way, all the way, in our relationship. along with being mother to my village orphan as if her own. PRICELESS stuff. Without her, after that sold, 1st house, I would have rented. Without her, we couldn't have bought the 6 rai, and built the 2nd house, sold that, and the other 4 rai separately, that returned all the cost of the land & 2nd house build, along with profits paying for the 3rd house, w/solar & EV. Literally saving myself about about ฿3.2M in rent alone, over 18 years, for comparable properties to live in @ ฿15k a month, if I rented. That's quite the contribution without having a salaried job. She was a computer graphic designer, and I asked her to quit working after we met. She was on a 'relationship break' then divorced her husband when I met her while working at Sis's night market restaurant. It's not always about how much each puts into a relationship financially That's why wives get 50% of all at divorce, because they probably earned it. Especially if they had to put up with some of the sh!t I've seen some of these A-hole subjected them to. You can't put a price an that BS. So reality, she financed most everything, after I gave her access to the mere 1.4M to work with, what the first house sold for, that only cost ฿800k. She provided a very nice ROI. Lived about 3M rent free over 18 yrs, and have about ฿4M+ in assets now. Saving me at least ฿4M out of pocket, along with future rent of ฿15k a month, if not having present house. She's PRICELESS in this relationship, and it's nice having an intellectual equal to talk to and be with 24/7. We're quite like minded in other aspects of our life 😉😉 There's a reason it lasted 18+ years ... we treat each other as equals.

I thought I was tough on cars in the past. He needs to tow that out, put in on a proper road, after he washes it, if he expects his ins. co. to cover it

Do they give out awards for enjoying life ? Stop thinking about what other people think, say, expect of others, and life is so much more enjoyable That reads better than ... "I simply don't give a F"

Fresh, if isn't cooked that day, it gets vacuum sealed then in the freezer. Only buy frozen seafood, emphasis on 'sea', and avoid buying fresh water or farmed fish. Prefer to buy all meats frozen if close to same price, and really depends on planned use. Along with how much space is available in freezers. Even buy frozen chicken parts, let thaw enough to separate, then refreeze individual servings. At Makro, it's the exact same stuff they put out as fresh. Never buy meats from local fresh/wet market.

Not a fan, or Inthanon Coffee, a bit better (@ Bangchak petrol station) Personally, I'd rather drink Instant Hazelnut Cappuccino from 7-11 @ ฿20 (Aroma ?) When we're O&A, we take our French press with us, and our own coffee, for that morning cup at the hotel. We'll drink coffee at coffee shops, but few have really impressed me. There was a Dunkin donuts @ Udon Thani that made a good cup of coffee. I usually don't buy from the chains. Bon Cafe was also decent @ Udon Thani. Haven't had either since leaving UT.

Just commented on size/price point. Agree, I've had SB only once (@ MEM airport), and wouldn't drink it again. One of the worst & expensive, as everyone in USA gives you an 8 or 12oz cup of coffee. Best taste & value, was WAWA Hazelnut (Philly, USA), 16oz was like $1, though quite some time ago. Delicious and back then, I wasn't a coffee drinker.

STIEBEL ELTRON DMT 6 Operating Instructions

If on a main road they won't sell alcohol either. Maybe the ones near you are franchises, owned by Muslims.

I'd still be serving my life sentence if charged with all the times I've had sex in public, discreetly as possible. Well, to the naked eye, usually. Sure I've been captured on CCTV more than a few times

Never noticed any problems with 'white' people, just people in general. I find all people, to be about the same, some good, some not so. I don't take responsibility for anyone, no matter race, religion or sex, and nothing superior about any. Along with not blaming any race for anything. I really don't know anyone who blames another race for their or local/state/country's woes. That just silly. Things ain't going right for you, it's usually the guy/gal in the mirrors fault With few exception, everyone I know takes responsibility for themselves. Those that don't usually blame their parents or the govt.

As a tourist transportation vessel, and a business, I would hope insurance is required to operate.

Exchange dropped when he was president, without him even trying.

Yep ... only pedal bike ride away, (2.9 kms) walking would be about 30 mins. Scooter, 5 mins, as no cross streets or traffic lights. Last rental, before house built, and only 200 m away I noticed last week, they stopped stocking Beer Lao Dark, since I moved. As was going to have one with my krapao munch next door, and none in the cold case, or a spot for them.

EV Station Pluz doesn't require pre-booking, unless something changed the past month. As we use them the most, and don't pre-book.

My phone (POCO/android) doesn't do that, auto identify 😭 Taking photos of birds, actually got me more interested in photography, if possible, but meant buying bigger lenses for mirrorless camera. Now phones are quite good, if you can see and focus on it, as only advantage of the super zoom lens I have. Phone have taken over my simple 'knock around town' photography. Good hobby for her 👍

The app and or site is contradicting itself then, as I only filtered 'other EVs'.

Or they made it on their home computer & printed it off

Google Lens is pretty accurate at identifying birds, as use it quite often, though does require a photo of.

I think the upper dining area's m² floor space gives it the extra that sets the record. Other than that and exterior design, just another large 7-11. Pretty cool though. Only Japan has more 7-11s. Having a place to sit & munch/sip in AC is a plus, as others simply have a small counter/bar & couple stools, if that. While O&A (out & about), we just return to the comfort of the AC'd car. while it's charging, as we hit PTT w/ 7-11 quite often in our journeys. If food court or other vendors aren't looking good ... there's always 7-11, and never disappointed

Nothing is 100% risk free, but if stats of EV vs ICEV fires is any thing to go by, I'm sticking with EVs. 13 to 1, more times likely to have a fire when petrol is involved, as that stat was posted earlier elsewhere. If and when I start reading about EV fires in TH, (marine or road) then I may become concerned ... or not.

Your welcome, but scratch the 'working/permit' part' as apparently not possible w/Ret visa. Ret Vis really is quite easy. GOOD LUCK

I guess if they taught how a democracy works in a Constitution Republic in schools, instead of white people are evil and imaginary sex/genders, maybe people would realize, they can change things at the next election cycle ... IF that's what most wanted. Apparently not ... as the ones they elected already to represent them, already voted for them. Guess they didn't know who they really elected, IF they even voted.
