My stats are from them, but pay out by insurance company. Real stats paid out. Consider those are old stats, and probably don't include any LFP fires, or which, I don't any have ever been report, and we're not talking on YT. Real news.

@HarrySeaman Makro has better selection of flour (bread) and yeast (500g packs) than the other vendors, in my experience. Depending on sugar content, if any (I don't use), then that will dictate which yeast to buy. If not Makro, google baking supply store near you, as I now buy our flour there, 10% less than Makro. I have to get my yeast on line, and nobody carries it now. I use fermipan red (low sugar) yeast. Package color distinguishes which sugar content to use with. Store your yeast in the freezer. My basic recipe is simply 4 ingredients: four ... 500g salt ... 10g yeast ... 10g water ... 350g

Just my dumb luck, the govt incentives were offered after MG moved to mostly LFP battery packs, Not that I was going to send more than 1M on 4 wheels anyway. The 200k extra, EV price over the ICE version of the MG ZS is worth the price just for performance upgrade. Never having to go a petrol station and buy petrol again, just icing on the cake. Don't think anyone has to worry about fires. I mean really, 25 per 100k. Nobody worries about ICEV fires, @ 60X the probability. Now fires are a concern ... I think not. Better fire training and fire blankets should limit any problems. Longevity would be the only thing with older chemistry, as the LFP seem to last forever, if even half the suggested longevity is accurate.. I've never put 500k kms on any vehicle I owned, let alone 900k, before the battery starts to noticeably degrade. I doubt if CS will be an issue here/TH, aside from weekends if not reserving, for about the next 5 ish years. And those with solar .... what's not to love.

Very few areas where signal is lost. Only the most rural, in which not a whole lot of roads to choose from to get lost.

You went with the sporty model, when you should have gotten that Fomm One ???? AND ... It does catch on fire ... go figure. 6yr old tech to top it off ????

My teens, 20s, 30s and 40s in USA were excellent. Actually a bit better than here, TH, when single. 2nd wife here. 17+yrs, has been excellent, as have the rest of the 40s, 50s & 60s here. No doubt, I've been blessed. Only came here for a change of scenery, and cost of living. Starting to get a bit bored over there. Been there, done that syndrome, nothing else interested me in USA. Along with not wanting to be any part of the new invade and occupy decades to come. Damn embarrassing.

I never will, but I wasn't an irresponsible Ahole back then either.

From driving through the water. You guys are getting silly, again. The gun didn't kill him, the bullet in it did. Both back on ignore list. Have a nice day.

Reading comprehension ... the engine in water. My car got driven into a lake ???? Unfortunately, it didn't stall out, as exhaust was out of the water, but most of engine in the water. It took all of the next day to get the muck out of the engine. As it was turning, it was spurting out the freeze plug hole. Constant flow of water in, till it came out clear. Actually ran for about year after ... surprisingly.

I speak from experience ????

And yet, ICEV are 60X more likely to catch fire than an EV. 25 vs 1500+ per 100k, link posted earlier. I wouldn't recommend driving your ICEV engine into water, as you'll blow out the freeze plug, and water will get inside. It's not pretty ... trust me. I wouldn't drive any vehicle through high water, did that here and had to replace the wheel bearings.

That correct, so we'll expect you stop repeating such nonsense ????

You should do some more reading, expand you mind: Chile holds the world's largest lithium reserves and is the world's second-largest producer. Lithium is currently produced from hard rock or brine mines. Australia is the world's biggest supplier, with production from hard rock mines. Argentina, Chile and China mainly produce it from salt lakes.Apr 21, 2023"

You're a funny guy

Mr Anti EV ... not even worth viewing or commenting on. I'm sure the insurance company's bean counters are hard at work, but realize, in USA anyway, its 25 vs 1500+ / EV vs ICEV fires per 100k incidents. ...nuff said

Google is getting there ... but ... has some catching up to do.

I did state it get better in the end, just takes a while to get there.

Showing 31 results for CM, @ <1M: https://www.thailand-property.com/condos-for-sale/chiang-mai?min_price=500000&max_price=1000000 19 results on DD prop: DD property For reference, 310 @ BKK, and 4 @ HH

I would think, though do consider, possibly 6 months of the year, you might not want to be there, due to smog. I know I wouldn't. Are you just trying to get some kind of permanent place to live, with blue book vs renting ? Sadly not many condo options away from larger metros, or if so, very expensive, or my experience when pricing the few I've seen. Any of the property sites will give you ballpark price for condo in some areas. DD property, Thailand property for reference. Don't discount the condo builder sites themselves, as daughter picked one up in Krung Thep well below their marketed price before covid. Still a buyers market, unless in tourist area, where ignorant people pay silly prices. Those areas still have bargains, if not marketing to foreigners.

Just realized it's been over 1 yr since watching one of his vids. In that time, he hit all the surrounding countries, Laos, Cambo & Nam, and a lot more, and now in Switzerland ???? Nice life.

That's about right. Our MG ZS EV MSRP was ฿1,189,000 - ฿240k incentive = ฿949,000 purchase price. With insured value of ฿960,000 if totaled. = ~19.3% depreciation driven off the lot ???? from MSRP, but a slight uptick from purchase price ???? Top model ZS with ฿246k incentive MG EP Plus with ฿247k incentive, a great value @ ฿771k These incentives, early on when approved by govt. Now most incentives passed on to the consumer are about ฿150k.

I'm going to agree with the 6 ish /10 rating, as it's a slow burn. First half of 'character building' crawls along. Action and twists pick up in latter half, and almost worth the wait. Overall good, but be patient.

Wouldn't call it subsidies, as some companies simply take advantage of the Thai import duties, for manufacturers that produce autos in TH, whole or part, with import incentives. Same worldwide, and why all Japanese auto makers have production facilities in the USA. Tax breaks & govt incentives to do so, to support that country's economy, whether TH, USA or elsewhere. Win win for both countries. Then you have the anti CH folks, USA for example, just gave incentives to USA companies, to only produce & use USA made components & batteries for their EV production. Basically penalizing the use of Chinese imports. Fine and dandy, their right to do so, but going to cost the consumer, with inferior products at a higher price. Big business wins again. And they vote to put these people in office ????

Only thing surprising about that news-blip, is ignorant people still believed CH makes inferior autos. VW certainly doesn't believe the BS, as SAIC alone (one of the Big Four in CH) jointly produces 19 models of VW already. Along with 3 Audis & 12 Skodas models @ 6 different facilities in CH. Shh .... don't tell anybody ????
