I've done it more than a few times, years ago. It's a very walkable city.

I've always had a camera with me, as long as I can remember. Funny looking back on photos 50 yrs old. Now have fancy interchangeable lens cameras. Huge quality difference. Enjoy drones also, for a different angle/perspective photo. Drones in TH anyway, took a big step back with regulations. Quality interchangeable lens cameras & quality drones are inexpensive. The new iPhones & G Pixels is all most need. I do wildlife, so I need range, as they're a bit skittish at times. Wildlife, city/landscape ... if it interests me, I'll take a snap. Mostly for myself, as would bore most folks. Have 10s of 1000s of photos.

Yes ... came up with quite a few photos & links, but that was the only ones with Thai script.

Who's your Daddy ... Whoa ... BYD .. 2X+ 👍

Nah, too small an island. Same w/Samui, though not a fan anyway. Phuket maybe. PKK fine, being a long province surfside, so easy to kill a year here. But one spot, one resort, one town... NO, that would get old fast.

KP even has a duty free shop at the mall near Victory Monument, which only allows purchases with CH PPs. or so reported in one of their reviews of: "My partner is Chinese passport holder. They gave 200baht daily to him, free taxi, free buffet.. the staff said “no foreign passport, only for Chinese” Was actually thinking about popping in, since down the way from my daughter. Hoping to see if the had PHRAYARUM, since impossible to find, as made for export only. Thought if anyone would have they might ... oh well.

Living semi-rural in non heavy tourist area, so weekends aren't much different than weekdays. Sundays being quite dead till late afternoon dining hours. No malls here to get packed, as the Lotus's doesn't really qualify. Got an MK, KFC & Swensen's which do a brisk business on weekends. Only time I go to Lotus's is Tuesday, for 2/1 scoops @ Swensen's.

@Kermit2404 Since knowing only 1 year, I really wouldn't bother with long term visa, as someone suggested METV, would seem easier. Hua Hin is a good suggestion as is Pattaya, but beach is a stretch, and good to look at at least. I live In Prachaup, and wouldn't really recommend, unless you can entertain yourself. Also no public trans. HH & Patts have decent baht bus system, and plenty of easy shopping. The 2 chains stores at Prachuap, require transport, and taxis don't really exit here. Unless plan on living out of 7-11, and not exactly a bad thing, supplemented with fresh market.

Apparently you've never browsed through and saw their pricing. Some have mentioned, along with the well publicized scam that ran for years. To other post, yea, King Power folks are loaded with money. King Power Mahanakhon is your obvious 'local' clue to that. Mind boggling how some of the 'TH expert' are, well, a bit ignorant, but happy to chime in. Have a nice day

Another study pointing out the obvious. Kind of useless when politicians & govts don't do anything since controlled by the FF conglomerates. Nothing they haven't known for decades. They could simply start with banning diesel fuel for personal vehicles. Since that has a direct effect on more than a few health issues.

t least they gave the bZ4X a tweak during a recall, so hopefully the wheels will stop falling off

@advancebooking YT is mostly cooking channels more technique than recipes: I don't do much of anything else. MSM, I get on AN Quick read of RTnews, with large grain of salt. Don't do pods or any of that stuff, inc; IG, TicTok, X. FB to stay conx w/family & friends, all of 14. Don't follow Drone, EV, or Solar channels, as own, and nothing new to buy or learn. Actually on Gmaps more than anything, planning next outing, whether for food or overnights 1-10ish days. I prefer to be out of the house, if only on the veranda, watching the critters, maybe snap a photo. Stroll around local park or surfside with dog.

I think so also Chevy pulling out of TH ... had to hurt those that trade up every few years. Guess what car the kids going get when ready. Daughter got our Mazda2 as not worth selling, after only 7 or 8 yrs/<150kms. Saw a few of those oops, one battery bank, plastic encased, got a home punched in it. Ouch, something simple could end up being quite expensive.

Them BYD's are darn nice looking. Quite like the Atto 3 myself, and now just wee bit more than the ZS. Available after we ordered, and did show up before we received. Actually was an option if we changed out mind. Did go with what we knew, since having the ICE version. Along with a new model, actually market for BYD, so the only hesitation. MG having a few years to work out some tweaks. Which they did nicely. Nice CS network to compliment owning. Will come in handy as EV #s put a strain on CSs, and Q'ing more frequent. One member did an extensive test drive of both Atto & ZS, going with the Atto 3. Did mention the ZS had just a wee bit umph off the line, and AC seemed a wee bit more powerful. I'm glad he added that to his review, and of course the 2 more important to me Other than that, styling, fit finish, bells & whistles, and every other darn thing, he preferred the Atto 3. Still very happy with our choice. MG definitely feeling the competition, something they didn't have a few years earlier for their price points. Hence the price drops on both ZS & MG4.

I've mentioned the pros & cons. That you chose to ignore that fact is a bit telling. UP2U I can only express my personal experience of owning, unlike your extensive knowledge of not owning. My experience has been mostly positive. Haven't bought a new top end ICEV, but it seems many of the entry level EVs, are spec'd better, with all the same or more bells & whistles. Why I make that comparison at times. Many people will buy the top end version of a 'made in TH' ICEV, in which case, they really should consider spending the same or a bit more, and peek / test drive a comparable EV. But with all the false info/BS the anti EV & CH folks spew, they may not, and miss out on a much better vehicle. Especially those that enjoy performance. Yaris top end ฿700k Mazda 2 top end ฿800k Silly prices and a waste of money IMHO Only reasons not to buy an EV, are you can't charge at home, or work on the road, racking up high kms everyday and time is money. Honestly can't think of any other, aside from needing a truck.

Who apparently hasn't be convicted of anything ... innocent till proven guilty. "Ken Paxton is acquitted of corruption charges" So he's someone who would rather stand & fight, rather than being silenced 👍

Anticipating an EV pick up just around the corner ...

Not so sure about that. I simple stent placement could give you a another decade of good health. Without knowing, and having an oops, could weaken your heart to the point if being immobile, or the obstruction could break off, and cause a stroke ... baby food and diapers for another decade UP2U ... but I like to know what's going on. People should take better care of themselves vs their care of their vehicles.

We know ...

Not the best situation for owning an EV. Does make me wonder why you even chime in on EV threads.

5 of top 10 are EVs

A guess, UT, as much larger than NK. @stupidfarang Spotted this when searching your photo.

Depends if a bit tipsy or not.

Sit corrected ... but ... I know which one I would choose: Yaris 94 hp (69 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 110 Nm (81 lb-ft) of torque at 4,400 rpm Neta V 95 hp and torque of 150 Nm ... almost instant Would only buy ICEV if couldn't charge at home ... maybe. Plug in/out, all of 30 secs vs 10 minutes at petrol station. If I shopped at Lotus's, then still get the EV.

Yes, I have. And that's why I send multiple copies now. Just sent 3rd one yesterday. Actually cheaper to send 3 slow mail, than 1 registered. 2nd notice was for Mar/Apr 2021/2022's mailing, received Oct 2022. Returned Oct 2022 and no interruption or 3rd notice/cancellation notice. Was taking with IRS, (they called me), and got on the subject of Soc Sec NOT receiving 7162, and the gal advised me, they/SS are aware of the Wilkes Barre problem. So something going on there, beyond staffing.
