Whoa, even I would be cold, and wife would have to sleep with a parka on. We keep around 26/27.

You can repeat it as much as you want, it's never going to make it true. So you didn't read the links I posted ... big surprise.

Humans are corrupt ... read THIS ... and THIS

Science doesn't tell us anything. Humans do, and humans are corrupt IMHO Remember, follow the science: ... safe & effective ... if vaccinated, can't get covid ... if vaccinated, can't spread covid .... masks work ... coldest winter ever ... hottest temps ever ... oh wait, we only have records for few couple hundred year, and the planet has been here how long ? ... the ice caps will melt ... give them guys a noble, the science was so good ... science says eggs are bad for you .... science says oops, eggs are good for you ... AZT will protect you from HIV ... margarine is better for you than butter ... oops again, enjoy your butter ... a little bit of alcohol is good for you ... oh wait, any alcohol is bad for you ... let's not even mention tobacco products, as how F'g stupid can anyone to believe that BS ... 1973, the world is running out of oil, and apparently everything else ... Lee Harvey Oswald was the only shooter ... there's just not enough bandwidth, as the list is endless Science doesn't lie ........... but humans do, and that's who is telling you ... IMHO

Agree, and I did most of that stuff before I got here/TH. Still took me a few years to 'mature' after I got here The kid slowed me down quite a bit, but that is a whole other adventure, and one of the longest & best. Not allowed to kill yourself, when you're suppose to be a responsible person, and a whole other person depends on you.

1 cycle is 1 full battery charge to zero. So if you run your battery down to 50%, two times and top it up, two times, that 1 cycle. So 1 full discharge and charge back up. We get about 360 kms every full charge (46.3 kWh), hence the #s in red, and 900k kms ball park #. That's not a dead battery, just one that no longer holds full capacity. They estimate 80%, but I think that's a bit positive thinking, though hope I'm wrong. I did calculate <5% at the 160k kms mark, so 80% @ 500 kms would be real nice. We average about 300 kms at highway speeds, which is usually an average 80 kph over a 3 hr period, if lucky. Driving 90-110 kph, when possible. So after about 3+ hrs, and 250 kms, we usually top back up to 90-95%, as the last 5% goes in a bit slow. 900k kms is a negative #, and if she gets 500k kms, that should last her forever, as she would rack up the kms that much after I'm gone. Lucky if she'll put on 10k kms a year.

Not a 'dream' but sleeping in every Thai province, which I manage to do at most of them. Use to dream about hitting the PowerBall, but stopped playing, Living the Dream now, so just another O&A will do, and about as adventurous as I'm going to get. All the adventure and or thrill seeking stuff was done days past. Aside from a location or 2, which I'm too lazy to bother with, I think I checked off most of that 'bucket list'.

When I first got here, I might spend 5 nights at one spot, and explore the areas nearby. Now, rare I spend a 3rd night anywhere. More so, because I've been to most places, and just pop in the area to seen anything new. Actually enjoy the journey more than the destination most times. Though after a couple legs, it's nice to kick back for a couple days on the balcony and enjoy the landscape, and why a view is always a priority. Also don't like being away from the house more than 14 days, and most O&As are around the 10 day mark. Kind of mid country, and don't go N that much, unless to see the daughter. 10days is a nice loop around the south, unless we hop over to Phuket, which I can see happening in the future. Not until the next pandemic

A conservative 2500 cycles, as some estimate as much as 10k cycle. The wife will be very happy with 500k kms TransAm knows that, as I've replied to him with the same info so many times. Why I simply chuckle at him and don't bother replying. Simply ignore anyone who thinks 2500 cycles isn't a very real probability.

Car, as I have no desire to be on any scooter, any size, for more than an hour. O&A in comfort is more important, though scooter wouldn't work well with a dog anyway, aside from all the other crap we take with us. My dream ... no pollution; land, air or sea HEY ... I can dream can't I

TAT has a tough job trying to convince Muslims or any folks to come to TH, beside the poorest of the poor of the international travelers. IMHO From my reading, seems much better offerings just about everywhere, except for those thinking about traveling on the cheap. Just seems other destination are more modern (if wanting), but definitely cleaner. The amount of trash and unmaintained building here/TH is quite surprising. A simply coat of paint would do wonders.

We await the next silly reason not to buy new or EVs. Actually, I can only think of 2 reason not to buy either: ... you simply don't want one, for whatever reason, simply happy with what you have now. ... you can't afford one, although Neta V starting @ 499k baht, or decent ICEVs starting @ ~600k baht, really shouldn't be a financial burden on most people/families. Even if financing, as interest rates are usually less than inflation rates for new cars. Keep it till it dies, if wanting to get your money's worth. Not many new cars won't last 20+ years if you take care of them. I've owned cars 10-15-20+ years old, as in the budget at the time, but still ran fine till I killed them. I had a 1950 Buick in 1975, making that car, 4+ yrs old than myself at the time

"Risk for chronic fatigue soars among those who had COVID-19, study says" Are they the same patients that got vaccinated ... Which ... chicken or egg came first ... comes to mind. Just us unvaccinated people who haven't had covid

Aside from childhood bullying or disagreements, as adults what environment do y'all live in, or situations you put yourself in, where fighting is even a topic. Self defense from a criminal or a nut case are the only real ones I can think of, and chance of either is extremely rare.

Agree, depends on a few factors. For us, only owning an ICEV for 2 year, and probably the period of the most depreciation, it wouldn't make sense to sell and buy a new car. BUT ... getting a govt incentive, on new EV, along with having solar, then the incentive and never buying petrol again offsets any present or future depreciation of the ICEV, and saves money everyday after on operating cost. Selling and buying new made complete sense and saved, will save quite a bit of money. Even with no solar, it would be the right thing to do. And .. you get to drive a much better performing car.

Nah, there are people who will always simply buy new. Budget dependent, if intelligent. I'm one of them now, as days of 2nd hand are way behind me. Before retiring, 2nd hand was practical, and fit my financial goals of early retirement. Only bought one new truck days past, and that was a business investment, and needed.

Agreed. If money was a concern, I wouldn't own a car, as we simply don't need one. Last 6 ish weeks proved that, as without one, and the MB was more than enough for our transport needs. Many people's biggest financial mistake, buying one, outside their price range. Worse if financing at silly interest rate. A plus that EVs in TH, lessen the cost to operate, but if you buy new every few years, no matter what vehicle, then not getting one's value out of , and hopefully, buying with spare money. Happy Shopping, though I don't think I'd go with a Tesla. Still liking the Atto 3, unless set on a sedan. Then the Seal is looking really good.

It's the weather ... it changes, like a lady through menapause I see your 1.5, and give you -60

Again ... noticed you missed a couple other food thread... Thai ribs ... or not ... don't ya just want to bite into and tear the flesh of the bones. Finger lickin' good

You call PoPo, and wait for them to maybe arrive ... Me ... yea, something like that, though think I'd wait till they actually entered, then legal to shoot...

They also sell HEPA sheets, specifically for air purifiers, and ACs. Or you can be generic rolls or sheets and custom cut your own.

I like Toronto, but, no thanks. A little too chilly half the year, though not a big thing, as good time to explore southward. Or northward to Toronto when USA is too hot. Not a Canuuk so would have to rely on OTT USA healthcare Housing prices and reasonably priced EVs or solar the other negatives. They total up to way too much monthly expense to justify change of location.

I think maybe changed after my reply, as posted about non Taxi apps I use. Really wasn't sure if they were all transport apps., since not knowing most of them.

I think the ZS is overpriced, simply for being a SUV, compared to MG's other BEV offerings. Same specs as the EP, but 180k more, just for the higher seating, and SUV 'styling', to be kind. I like it better, but 180k is a bit silly. Then you got the MG4, better spec'd, cheaper or same price if ZS on sale, if the MG4 isn't on sale. The EP is about same or cheaper than some top end entry models, 'made in TH'. EP / ฿771k vs Mazda 2 top model @ ฿799k ... that's just silly. For 70k more, you can have the MG4, not even on sale, cheaper if it is on sale. Performance wise, no ICEV in those price ranges can even come close. Sucks if you can't charge at home, or CS is too inconvenient. Lotus's has CSs now, so how easy is that once a week. Or popping into a mall.
