Ignorance is Bliss The Americans consists of about 35 countries, and it's mind boggling that USA, is called America, and citizens of, Americans. Like asking a Brit where he/she/it, is from, and getting Europe as an answer. ????

As long as you have social media spewing the silliness ... ... OMG ... TH is cheap paradise, meals cost ฿30, beach bungalows ฿500, people will still be planning the 'expat' experience on the low end budget of existence. Then reality, inflation, and staying here legal will hit, so in 20 years, nothing will change. As they will become the new, skint, soon to be, old, grumpy AN members, warning everyone not to come, blaming TH for their woes, when safely back in their home country.

Asking a 'how long is a piece of string' query on a forum isn't going to give you results either. I find most queries can be answered quicker, and most times more accurately on Google. Ignorance on how to use or ask on Google is one thing. Pure laziness is another. Asking a price for a product from different vendors, all having different promotions ... ... kind of pointless

There was a Baptist church down aways from my hometown house, (told you I grew up on the other side of the tracks), and I would pass there sometimes on Sunday walking the dog ... ... and they were Rockin' inside. Way too cool. Atheist, but I still find Christion music inspirational, as long as not trying to covert me. 2 favorites:

... nuff said Unless of course, you are one of the 'educated' folks who doesn't know the definition of 'typical'

Looking at the replies, it seems 'one size doesn't fit all'. Google (always) is your friend for accurate info. Best reply was ... ... 'nothing worth watching'

As Grand Marshall of local chapter, we are looking to expand our membership. For $29.99, shipping included, we can send you a 'one size fits all' hood. Just need to pick the color ... oh wait, there is only 1 supreme color ... ????

People really do like to complicate the easiest processes. Lose weight ... burn more than you take in. Build muscle ... use/lift more than usual. Yes, you can fine tune both, but most of it, is marketing. Easy to do both with little effort, simply takes a bit longer.. #1 factor ... desire & will power to do.

I wish they were reasonably priced, like 200k or less, CH pricing. With the Neta V at 549k, who is going to buy them. Hard to justify as a primary car, unless you do very limited driving w/lite load. If budget is that low, then suffer with the Celerio, though in long run, more expensive, but gives more versatility.

That's NYC, as I used to walk to my dentist when living in Philly suburb, and short drive, parking in front of, when living in Memphis suburb. Most Yanks don't get a month off of work, to come get 1 root canal & crown done, if even can get it done in 2 weeks, the root canal, then another 10 ish days for the crown. Actually took 5 weeks for just the crown at BumCrap hospital, which had to be replaced, mere 6 months later. A total clusterFck experience. Tourist, have to add flight & hotel stays to that total bill.

Slight correction in my #s, and the Fortuner is 2.72X the MG ZS (ICE) price, not 4X ... oops. Also didn't have solar when EV version was ordered, but solar was planned. Sadly after I bought the ICE version 1.5 yrs earlier, so lost a bit on short, 2yr, ownership, instead of simply keeping what we had for 2 more years. Hindsight sucks, or not consulting soothsayer, as ignorance, upgraded ZS & gov't incentives didn't happen yet. Although worked at quite well, and nice to know what you are buying before you invest silly money in cars. Liked the ICE version, so easy choice moving to E version. Size of that solar system was not dependent on EV purchase, so still charge with excess solar = free. Added ESS was do to PEA's install of digital meter, and only change to the system, for off grid overnight use. Certainly not to charge the EV.

I think same price, as TB finally got one to test drive, and stated 970k

Make that braindead ... ... y'all going want to give that one a pass. ????

SoHo is the winner for late night pizza, huge slices, tasty, and open till 3-4am, depend on day via Gmaps ????

5% a year on any car, I'm finding hard to believe. At least 10% the first year. Granted T & H will hold value better than MG, but may cost 25% or more to buy. T. Cross starts at 1.2M, the MG ZS 689k. (42% more) Even though ZS has smaller engine, (1.5 vs 1.8) has more hp/torque.

Dutch Mill whole milk, about the only thing I'll drink, or prefer to. Frothing wand, and same, can't seem to get good results. So I use, an el' cheaper frother. Think 60 baht from Daiso or <100 from LAZ. And it's lasted a few years, still going. Takes a sec to find sweet spot, after frothing, but then creates a nice vortex/whirlpool, and you can get the foam to any degree you want. heat the milk in microwave, 30 ish second, 75ml for 200 ml (total) cappuccino.

'Meg 2' is out, for brainless entertainment ???? May want to watch first one 'Meg' if haven't yet.

One would think not. The ICE ZS was only 700k, and anything less than 1M (ZS EV), isn't going to have the fit & finish or ride of higher end cars. EV performance vs ICEV is different subject, but also apples & oranges. We got a GRAB at Krung Thep, and it was Fortuner, and a nice one at that, and no, the ZS (ICE) wasn't even close. But also about 1/4 th the price, 700k vs 2.5M, so quite expected. I'm a point A to B car person, and think 1M (ZS EV 950k) is silly price for 4 wheeled transport. But it is what it is, if wanting something new & comfy enough to be in 3-4 hrs at a stretch. In perspective, our main house was contracted at 1.1M, so 1M for something that depreciates ... ????????????

The 'ignorant' mistake I made, when buying our 'coffee' machine. As '15 bar' and I thought, if 9 is good, 15 should be better ... ???????????????? Un-adjustable and terrible extraction for espresso. OK crema if using the pressurized portafilters. Which didn't hold enough coffee for me, so bought larger naked one. Works fine, but still pushes water through too fast, and bad extraction. With all this crap, I prefer the drip cone ???? All taste about the same, and drip is easiest. Wife enjoys the crema with the machine ????

Understandable if an MG3, and that's one, 'you get what you pay for'. Extreme entry level price & quality. When the MG3s hit the market here, I cringed, thinking of their/MG's past repair record. Thought to myself, hell no, I'd never own an MG. Did peak at them/MG3, and low quality, even for low price. Then when looking 2020 for new ride, figured I'd peak again, see if improved, and not enough, besides, not exactly fitting in very comfortably with my back. While there, peaked at the ZS (ICE), and priced the same as everything I was looking at. Took it for a short test ride, and I was sold on it. 2 years later, not as ignorant about EVs, govt incentive, and the MG ZS EV upgrades for same 2020 price, and it was a no brainer for me, especially since we already had solar at the house. Prior cars were; Vios (2), Mazda 2.

Yes, I bought an MG do you really need to ask why MG Motor Named 'Carmaker Of The Year' 2022 UK: Car of the Year 2022! MG ZS EV wins top award The MG4 EV is crowned 'UK Car of the Year 2023' AU: MG ZS range claims Drive Best Overall Value Car NZ: MG HS Plus EV Wins Best Car of the Year 2021 Sweden: MG ZS EV voted 'Car of the Year 2022' by leading car UAE: MG HS named Middle East 'Car of the Year' for 2020 MG ZS EV voted 'Family Car of the Year 2021' by Flemish (?)

Nobody suggest to stop posting, just change the tune. Answer: MG is a much better, reliable car now, and a great value. They can't make them fast enough.

I think you meant their 'quality built, inexpensive value for your money, family car' Give a rest .... take a hint. We tire of that broken record of yours. Pick another tune ... ????

Didn't miss it, just don't think it's exclusively about MGs. Not as short sighted as some.

Why 'join Phetkasem, if out for a ride toward the hills. We are still talking about bicycle riding ... yes ?
