Most gals speak & understand English, they just prefer not, if you know a bit of Thai, or if they simple don't want to talk to you. Mai khao jai kha, mai phut phasa angrit kha ... nice way of saying FO ????

Note to self: stop driving under the expressway for the shade ???? If not caught on video and uploaded somewhere, I wonder how often these incidents happen ????

"Chinese cars are among the safest of 2022 in the EuroNCAP tests" Tesla Model Y, that was tested, was 'made in CH' https://time.news/chinese-cars-are-among-the-safest-of-2022-in-the-euroncap-tests/ "MG Mulan and 2 Other Chinese Cars Earn 5-Stars In Latest Euro-NCAP Ratings https://carnewschina.com/2022/12/07/mg-mulan-and-2-other-chinese-cars-earn-5-stars-in-latest-euro-ncap-ratings/

FL is ahead of more than half the states, maybe, as only 24 states, even allow referendums. Don't know what the complaining is about. https://ballotpedia.org/States_with_initiative_or_referendum Seems most states and citizens of, aren't big fans of them. Does seem to be a bit redundant, as that is what you elect their legislators to do. Maybe they, citizens, voters, should actually pay attention and show up to vote once in a while. If they want abortions available, after 6 or even 15 weeks Pretty obvious, the citizens, not just the Republicans, don't want abortions after 6 weeks. Or they aren't letting their legislators know....oops Republican voters out numbered by 9 million, non Republicans. Apparently, democracy is working just fine. Do check back in after 2024, stay tuned... https://dos.myflorida.com/elections/data-statistics/voter-registration-statistics/voter-registration-reports/voter-registration-by-party-affiliation/

Probably because you didn't read the instructions and are applying it wrong. Most advise to use overnight. So it's absorbed into the skin before sweating or getting rubbed off ... on 'your shirt'.

Everywhere & anywhere, during your normal day or night activities. Same as USA. Especially if you see the same people at same location. ONS can turn into a 'gik', add to 'little black book/ph contacts' or short relationship. Or may not remember her name afterwards. For me, was always 'friends w/bennys', here it's 'gik'

Tinted glass been around for decades. 2000 house build: May want to give your specific location.

"we put on the air conditioners, but now the electricity price is sky high, so during the day, I use fans instead and take a cold shower every 60 to 90 minutes." @Dario Sacrificing your health, possibly, definitely your comfort, for a few baht savings on electric. May want to cut down on other non essentials, or invest in a small gird tie in solar system instead. Just a thought.

IF & when it arrives, I'll deal with it. Nothing abnormal about 38-42°C here in the tropics. AC is a beautiful thing:

Just shows some people's ignorance, as most do come with home wall charging/outlet units, along with free installation with most. Why would you buy something you didn't research & trust ? MG, GWM, BYD have established track records, along with supplying wall charging ports for their EVs. Even the budget friendly Neta V provides free installation of their wall cable. Along with very budget friendly, yet low spec'd Wuling & Pocco mini EVs, providing wall cables to charge.

Disagree, though important, but being a good listener is more important. Along with responding to 'her' part of the conversation, not bringing it back to you. If you bring money into a conversation, well, they can spot BS just as easy as you. And if they bring money into the conversation, then that conversation just ended.

That explains a lot. Woman are attracted to someone who just listens to them. Intelligence is sexy, and wins over anything, for me, and self minded chickes. They are just as horny as you are, and finding like minded chickies, is pretty easy, worldwide. Not saying the illusion of being a millionaire here doesn't help, but it's not needed.

White is just too practical in the tropics ... IF ... you keep it clean. Why we went with silver ... ???? Would have preferred to stay with red, but not available in our 'D' model, ZS, only 'X' version of ZS, offering more colors than W/B/S. Actually an inexpensive upgrade, but didn't want the options that come with it.

Anyone thinking about buying should know those things. Common knowledge for any savvy shopper. How people don't know that is surprising. If I'm spending more than ฿500 for something, I'm researching it.

What heat wave ... ???? OH ... Outside ... what are you nuts ...

And for those that don't know, 'TH state owned' oil producer PTT's wholly owned subsidy Arun Plus, will be building the Horizon EVs. Let that little tidbit sink in, if you think EVs aren't the future in TH.

People need to consider, the 4 largest auto manufacturers in China are 'state owned' / subsidizes if you want to call it that. Means they aren't price gouging the customer like a private/public corporation would. That aspect of socialism/communism, works well for the people & state. Pricing in CH is a bit different than exported prices, and not all because of import tariffs. Simple because some markets will tolerate a higher price. Also why CH cars, on the whole are less expensive, in those markets. That the MGs in TH, sell at realistic price vs competition, even against the pricing of entry level 'made in TH' cars, tells you, you are getting a bargain. Even though priced and sold in CH to the middle class. Vehicles sold to the not so middle class in CH, are price gouged here. The Wuling & Pocco minis are a fine example, as 2X the price than CH. Why they don't sell very well here.

There's a huge difference, buying & selling from / to regular dealer & customers vs a total stranger on holiday, in a foreign country. That uncommon common sense people fail to exercise with disastrous results.

'Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPSO) director & team' obviously don't shop where I shop. Only meats have come down, from their silly earlier price gouging, but still way higher than they should be. Can't think of anything that isn't up 10-20% or more than just 6 months ago. Don't know what orifice they seem to pull these inflation #s from, or that they expect people to actually believe them. Just notice yesterday, flour is on sale now, for more than I paid couple weeks ago. So I guess that will be the new price, or higher when off sale. Do they really think people don't notice that. 38 to 40 to 42 last week, to now on sale this week @ 44 ???? Glad I stock up at 40, and all of 30 ish baht saved ???? Wonder what the new price will be in another month.

Or choose wisely. First 2 marriages, USA, were a bit irrelevant, financially, as poor with no real equity, or kids. First Thai was a roll of dice, but nothing invested that I couldn't walk away from, luckily, didn't have to with a little paperwork. Present wife, waited 8 yrs, before legally binding, as more invested, and actually built more equity with her, since available to invest in land in her name. 17 yrs (9 married) and no regrets here, all 'bliss' and not 'ignorant bliss' like the first few months of #1 Thai wife ???? On Topic, as always ... really enjoyed my single time, both in USA & TH. Always a few years in between marriages. Hindsight ... would never get married again, here or USA, if in my 20s. Though #4 has worked out great, so no regrets. First 3, I would have, should have avoided.

I usually know just about everything there is to know about any product I'm about to buy, and then buy it from the manufacturer's store, or authorized reseller, LAZ (flagship) site. No different here than when I lived back in USA. Actually easier here since all you need to know is on the internet.

You really got to be an idiot to get married the first time, and then do it again after that failure ... ... Oh Krap ????

Does he need a presser for every bill he signs into law or vetoes, or bills that become law without his signature. Surely he and the press have better things to do.
