Yea, that's not good, the battery. My phone, POCO was released / purchased ~1.5 yrs after your Samsung was relesed, and still going strong on the original battery. A bit larger also at 5160mAH vs 3400mAh.

If wanting Samsung battery, would probably need to use their service center, if even available, depending on age of phone. Could search Google and see if you could find the battery, if not, you'll probably have to use one of the phone repair shops anyway. Any luck and one of these vendors will be a Samsung flagship or official store: https://www.priceza.com/s/ราคา/samsung-replacement-battery

Is that a new way of saying abortion, it's a complication ... In less than 6 weeks (5 week, 1 day ?), after conception, the lifeform, fetus, baby has a heartbeat. It will only not be birthed to a human being, if you kill and stop that heart from beating. Let that sink in, it's no complicated to understand ... ... or a complication ...

That's one opinion. Although a 'Permanent Resident Card' being available, and actually getting one for Vietnam, is a different story. Good luck with that, and if not, then left with present system, which guarantees nothing in Vietnam. You can't even own a motorbike in Vietnam, unless having a resident permit. Technically, without a resident permit, you can't even drive one. So don't plan on staying too long or getting rooted or settled in.

Example of my / our unnecessary daily driving with EV (car) and local range. Ignore the kph, as out of the car, walking the dog. Hence the unnecessary part, as can walk the dog down the soi, but we prefer the view and walking in the shade at the surf. Most of that driving is at 60+/- kph, as most of the road is 4 lanes hwy # 326 Battery is 46.3kWh (usable), using 13.8kWh per 100 kms = 335 kms range. Always meets or exceeds the WLTP rating range of 320 kms. MG being very accurate & honest with their range promo. Yes, you could even get the NEDC 403 kms, if you drove that slow locally. Of course if more local driving, instead of quick to surf & back, then we'd get our normal 360 kms range, when simply knocking around town, as stop & go, would send more regen back to the battery. There is only 1 traffic going to, and 2 returning from the surf, so not much regen on the surf run. We've gotten <12kWh per 100 kms when knocking around town, for longer duration, running errands. That distance of 12 kms, pretty much covers the whole local area of PKK municipality, that we need to go to. Round trip to Makro, would only be about 9 kms. Reality is, we only need to leave the house, once every 2 weeks for any necessities. Or weekly if using the E-MC.

Unfortunately for the PM, he doesn't control that decision. @gk10012001 It's readily available here, and don't think a script is needed at shops (guessing), and shops are everywhere. Also available online, no script necessary. Where I purchased all mine. Shops are pricy. AND ... it's really some good sh!t, as I got more sitting here at the house than I can smoke, since I indulge very infrequently. Actually gave half my stash to my nephew, knowing I'd never smoke it, within a year or 2

Different strokes for different folks. Nobody knows why, but feel free to judge. I've taken bus, train, planes for different reasons. Reason isn't always financial. As stated above, the bus & train can be an enjoyable, relaxing ride. And much safer in the event of an accident. Maybe he didn't know there was a hill involved to get to he bus station, or maybe he didn't care. Some might question (myself included, but can guess) why people even choose Patts to live or even visit.

A 14 yr old (dead) medical issue in the news ... I had my appendix out when I was 12

Corruption is world wide in developing & 3rd world countries, and will be for a long time. 1st world just hides it better. Nam as a retirement destination, not seeing it myself, since no real retirement visa, or so I read. This will stop most from buying in on any big ticket items. System now might be good for the older retirees, living on the cheap, not something that would interest a younger person, or someone with more money, actually looking for a permanent place to live with comforts. Even TH you have to think hard, or should, before investing in housing (w/Solar), cars & MBs, expensive toys. At least here, you get offical permission to stay every year. Nam's permanent residence card for foreigners is only valid for 10 years. Not exactly 'permanent'.

Choose better vendors for better CS. I don't find CS in TH any more lacking than other countries, where tipping is not a major part of their salary, unlike the USA, hence the better CS in USA. Or, last time I was there / USA.

TH snuck in top 10, in 2013 ... oh well. TH back in top 10 now, 2023, as they were in 2022.

125 kph did an edit with more accurate info If not needing top end or range, then take a peek at DECO Motorcycles Less expensive

... 125 kph

Kids at school in close proximity getting sick ... ... who would have thought ..

We all know the COLA adjustment are BS, unless you actually think there was -0- inflation some years, and <2% inflation per year the 12 years before biden ...

Nothing like living in fear ... how are we all not dead already I read a bunch or people die from accidents in their home ... ... can't find anything TH specific, but, if all things being equal, all countries, it's not safe to be home either: TH population about 1/5 of the USA, so 20% of 200k = 40k 😲

Cut all foreign aid and stick the equivalent of the last few decades and future estimated foreign aid into the SS fund, and stop stealing from it. Or simply return all the money you stole / borrowed with interest. Doubt very much they cut SS, ever, as >1/3 of the voting public receives it. No party wants to lose those votes.

Wasn't paying attention, but obviously ESS topped up before 1030 hrs 👍 More like 1000 hrs, as the blue stops a bit before 1035, and has produced 12.5kWh since sunrise, using 5.9kWh since last midnight / 0000 hrs;

Patts definitely qualifies as a '15 minute city', so nobody has to have a car, or even a motorbike.

Once again, if people need to ask these kinds of questions ... ... strongly suggest you rent

Why we live where we do ... choose wisely

Inflation, as don't remember paying more than 300 baht, for whole boat. More than a few years, but petrol wasn't 35-40 baht either.

I guess the blue / red bandana (for top / bottom), hanging out of rear jeans pocket on Thursday (or so I was told) is a thing of the past
