Reads a bit like a tourist adventure, though a good start. A month at each city is a good time period, enough to see what's there, during the week, day & night, and weekends, day & nightly activities. Before buying in, if your intent, you do really need to live there, renting, at least 1 full year To experience the high heat & humidity, low overnight temps, if any, along with horrendous months long of air pollution and rainy season. Happy Travels Personally myself, wouldn't consider any location North of Hua Hin, or even Chumphon. Seems you want to be in a metro area, which doesn't leave many options on the Southern half of Thailand: Surat Thani Nakhon Si Thammasat Hat Yai Yala That 4-6 months of nasty air pollution would get very old, very fast, and not exactly healthy for you.

And to break that 1,000 baht note for smaller banknotes.

Insured as a total write of. And if in TH, (the topic) probably insured for the price of a new one, as ours is, if it got totaled. So your point is what ?

Say what .... say it ain't so. Jiffy better up their game, as not much of a fan. The new Bangchaks are much larger than before, and hopefully be some good competition for PTT.

I'm happy to be a major supporter of the local franchises, when O&A (out & about). PTT Parks being the best shopping malls in TH Especially handy when we're way off the beaten track, and have to hit the last one to stock up, before going any further. Thankfully they're almost everywhere, and usually a vendor or 3 nearby.

Sticking with quick & easy, hot weather, use up leftovers in frig. Last of the meatballs, so made a quick sauce, using this can of tomatoes. Like this brand, as can use the whole can, without need to add paste. Thick enough by itself. The cheaper 'whole tomatoes' in a can, I tended to just drink the juice, as too thin, but enough juice in the tomatoes themselves, since whole, with paste added to make a sauce. Usually just make my own, with leftover tomatoes and add paste to it. Though doctoring up a can of is too easy when out of tomatoes. Wife makes decent meatballs, too many, as used for Swedish meatballs with spinach cream sauce last week. Guess I'll be making a pizza later this week, with leftover tomato sauce & meatballs. Having some Mozzarella & Parmesan to use up also. Still more leftovers to go, as some Japanese Curry still in frig, and more tater salad, the latter I've been eating past couple days May even go to a restaurant if we clear out the frig after this week. Lite dinner, and may hit the tater tots & shrimp donuts later while watching TV. Got a feeling I'll need a snack later on. Lazy week, hot & sunny outside, draining my energy. Too many months till rainy raisons.

Really, then those must be some imaginary windfall profits of the US oil producers. Surely nothing to do with Russian sanctions on oil sales.

Didn't bother reading the rest, as you first statement is wrong, so didn't see the point of wasting more time. His parents/family were quite normal during his childhood, possibly even considered poor. Since becoming a millionaire himself, from the vid, he's obviously out of touch now, and hasn't needed to shop for himself in over a decade.

Maybe not an inconvenience owning, just asking for suggestions to make more convenient, when at the condo. How inconvenient is it to top up a 12kWh battery while at the market. Even Lotus's are installing CS, and most large malls now have them. On a slow 50kWh cable, that all of 15 minutes, or 30 minutes on a slower 22kWh cable. Y'all seem to read too much in to everything.

It eventually will be added to the amenities offered, for the better class of condos on offer. ... same as number of parking spaces available, usually to larger units ... same as having a gym, or how many gyms in the complex ... same as offering pool, one or more pools to be enjoyed ... in house restaurant or market Or you can buy that 28m² box room, and simply enjoy not paying rent. Options abound, to meet you desires or bank account . Nothing more than a selling point for those that want, or can afford. Prices always dictated by location, and amenities offered. EV charging will simply be another on the list to market & advertise. If I was looking for a condo, I wouldn't consider one that didn't have EV charging, and in the future, I'm guessing there's going to be more than a few more with the same mindset. EV are here to stay, and more coming everyday. I've already seen condo adverts mentioning EV charger available. If the fossils want to use fossil fuel, we're OK with that, just remember, slower traffic to the left. DISCLAIMER: This and many posts of mine are PSAs or entertainment, you decide. OK, I do drive the speed limit, for full disclosure, but not in a Celerio

No idea how the partnerships work, if so, share install cost & profits, as charge 7-8 baht a kWh, while themselves paying less.

Typical multi millionaire, and simply hasn't done any food shopping in year. Maids/cook/house staff probably does any food/dry good shopping that isn't delivered to his mansion. Most, including many politicians are out of touch with reality of everyday living of common folks.

Really ... nobody uses google any more Plug in Hybrid EV Battery EV Full Hybrid EV

PHEV or BEV vs FHEV (no plug in options)

Do you know if there are others driving hybrids or BEV owners at the complex. Also is the parking area 'open' to public or guarded. Elexa will install charging station at vendors, condos. If 'open' parking, then anyone could use, would be a plus, and no cost the the condo owners themselves. We've stopped at coffee shops that have Elexa charging cables while O&A.

Yep, that corporate greed thingy slipped in and made it part of 'their' bottom line. Remember working in restaurant for $1 hour when in high school, and actually a 40+ hr (illegal) work week. Bussing tables, and portion of pay was from a portion of the waitresses' tips. When min. wage at the time was: So tips matter. Back then it did ensure good service, though not so much any more, as they expect a certain % as a tip. Good service has slipped, or so I read. Before TH, I ate in restaurants a lot, and tipping always added 20% to the cost of a meal. Even the IRS got in on the act now, and tax 'tip wage salaries' on what they feel you should be getting, whether you actually get that on not. Now that's F'd up.

THANKS, have to give them a test, as part of the 'rest stop' after driving a few hours. Addicted to Wings Zap when O&A. I could live off some PTT Park stations: KFC, 7-11, food court, 5 Star chicken, aside from the rest and charging the car Same even have Black Canyons if want to sit and have a cheap steak dinner Try to avoid all of them when at the home front, as knowing I'll get my share of, when out on the road. Early days here 7-11 used to have shrimp burgers, not sure if shrimp, but was a decent fish sandwich, although think they changed vendors as not the same as days past.

That's a lot easier than changing Mazda 2 fod's battery ...

click on link already provide, usually works for my sources As pointed out, you lack a source for you 'awarded millions' as that was adjusted on appeal. Do you need a source, see above

Never miss an opportunity to Yank bash, even though it was an Euro tradition picked up by Yanks visiting Europe, days past, as already pointed out. Do try to keep up, and know your history

Doesn't the CC charge the vendor, this raising their overheard, which costs are passed onto the customers, all customers, even us cash only folks. Thanks

Wonder if the power bank was simply dodgy POS. Or was it in use, charging a phone, in which case, 'user error' being in the seat pocket, and heat couldn't dissipate. You can't fix stupid

I won't do cashless transactions. Usually don't tip either, if not expected, and isn't from most vendors we frequent. Leave paying to the Mrs, since I'm a Yank, and worked in restaurants & bars, I used to be a good tipper, days past. Although since that work history, I'm critical of the universally poor service most places provide. TH not being a tip driven salary workplace, and low pay of staff, the poor service is almost understandable. Probably why locally, we are repeat customers at family owned & run vendors, and service s always excellent Few to none get that 10% service charge, and simply a scam IMHO, so avoid vendors, when possible, that apply it.

So right on par with most AN members DICLAIMER: NOT an attempt to troll, just an observation IMHO Proof of non-trolling will be, no reply of mine to any reply made to this post.
