I can charge another EV off my car, in an emergency situation, as many cars can. Abet, would take some time, but available in your hypothetical silliness. What if (even more silliness) ... the grid goes down for a month or permanently. Solar & EVs ... oops, you didn't buy in ... oh well

More than 1 CS vendor on the roads, and more than enough. If the grid is down, you won't be getting any petrol pumped either.

No remorse here, and Lovin' It Picked up the perfect EV for us, at just the right time. Size, range, specs, price (govt incentive) all the stars line up perfectly, and already had solar to top it off. Could have waited 2 years for the E-MB purchase, as had a slight upgrade and govt incentive, so actually 10k baht cheaper. But then would have missed out on 2 yrs of driving fun + savings. Actually feel sorry for the ignorant people who can, but aren't taking advantage of EVs now. Whether 4 wheel cars, MB, or just a ebike. We have all 3 and all serve their purpose. Can have something that performs better, cost less to operate and maintain, but won't even consider due to pure ignorance, borderline stupidity. You can't fix stupid

I treat social media much the same as people in real life. Simply ignore, or try to, as don't have that much respect for mankind. Only good thing about social media, gives introverts an avenue to the outside world. Those that can't deal with real people.

Describe 'CH built' Project overseen by engineers from CH ? Using local labor. Using material from CH isn't strange, as most of the world's grid uses material from CH. But if same as TH-ITA building overpasses & highways in TH, surely aren't built by workers from IT. CH built anything certainly isn't a bad thing, as they seem to excel in most things infrastructure wise. Even everyday product wise, if have a choice where something is made, I'll always pick CH over USA, UK/EU or TH.

And if frozen, helps with hemorrhoid relief ... so I read

Besides accommodations, you have to travel a bit to find 'green areas'. A negative for myself, as enjoy walking around parks, and many don't allow pets. A problem with our dog, as not of fan of doing her business on concrete, unless desperate. Makes picking hotels & guesthouses a challenge, besides simply finding ones that have secure parking. 2 requirements for us. I can definitely relate to how some folks are anti pets, as many don't tend to the pets as we do. She gets a bath before we go O&A, we bring a top sheet for beds, and wife sweeps up dog hair before checking out. Room is as clean as when we checked in. And she's extremely house broke.

I original post 40%, but then thought I better check, as memory isn't always spot on. As you post, most higher #s were 18-22 ish %, so went with 15%. Pretty sure that 80% straight is a bit off, as how many closeted, will even admit on an anonymous survey that they are bi or gay. Especially if someone is with them, while doing the surveys. Really is location, and peer group dependent.

Never met a gal online in TH, as sites are full of P4P gals. Way back when, before such sites, or that i heard of, use to meet more than a few, when Yahoo chat was a thing. Meeting like minded fun gals was easy. Worked for an airlines, so actually flying to another city for a weekend of fun, was actually a favorite past time of me. Great way to see the country, and have company while there Surprisingly, only got burned once. Flew in, late night flight, and never showed up at airport. Hope they had a good chuckle I'm amazed now, how many people don't meet people in person as they go about their daily routine. As dated a few gals here just meeting while knocking around town / Udon Thani. Along with a few while out on the weekend prowl, at Thai venues, never being a P4P guy since living here. Simply never needed to. Too many like minded gals just want to have fun also.

I don't think so. Unless you mean simply giving them pocket money if they don't work. If in a real relationship, who rents their gf or wife. I know one guy, when I first met, and first year here, ask me and another guy, while sitting around, 'how much do you give your wife every month ?' We were like, 'what ?' He was surprised, nothing. Apparently he gave her 50k a month, and this 20+ yrs ago. She said that's what she makes, and if he wants her to stop working in bar, needs to pay her. If you are providing everything, if she doesn't work, why would you give her basically a salary every month. Especially if you took her out of a bar, then she should be happy just in that fact. When I first met my present wife, she stopped working (stall restaurant @ market), after she moved in, so made sure she had pocket money. Since she stopped working. Would be a bit degrading if having to ask me for money every time she needed. Relationship well developed, married, and she just takes money out of our 'monthly funds' as needed. Knowing she doesn't waste or give away, so has full access to my/our funds. She's actually produced almost as much or more money than myself via RE investing, as I brought in, during a few years. Because of her, we live here basically rent, housing cost free. First wife didn't get anything, as had a gambling problem, which quickly ended our marriage.

About 21% (14.6M) of TH's population (69.6M) lives @ Krung Thep metro area ... nuff said Daughter enjoys living there, past 6+ yrs, from Udon Thani (18 yrs), and we're at PKK, which is too boring for her. Wants nothing to do with UT, and never visits. She's popping down here/PKK for a long weekend. I always enjoy visiting, more for her now, and less so, since hotels are getting a bit silly priced sometimes. Could easily live there, I think, though never spend a smog season there. So maybe not. Main negative, it's not dog friendly.

Got to have the tools, or cooking isn't nearly as enjoyable. I could easily live with just an eat in kitchen & 1 bedroom house. Which is basically what our is. No dining room, or living room, with eat in kitchen being the largest room. We have too many (redundant) appliance, and since I'm not a fan of bending over (in either a good or a bad way), everything is counter top, which is a challenge. One constant ... Cast Iron ROCKS:

Unfortunately, not sure I'd trust anything coming from FBI, or any agency any more. They've proved themselves to be a bit too corrupt. Be funny if half the list was redacted ... Mixed thoughts either way, as sure a few maybe didn't even know what epstein was up to, or found out after visiting. Maxwell chickie, whatever her name is, even stated that the photo of Pr. Philip and the chickie the royals paid, was a fake. That was a surprise.

That's about the only good thing about the alphabet club getting lots of 'exposure'. No real stigma attached to one's sexuality any more. At least the latest generation, as seems the 'in thing' is to claim you are non binary/letter of some sort. Think I saw 1 survey where 15ish% or so of the youngins, don't identify as straight.

Never a fan, and surely wouldn't want to see him, or anyone really at 83 yrs old. That said, his voice is still OK, though not exactly known for, or needs much of a range for his songs. I don't think. If having fun, good for him:

Strange that isn't the standard, though guess it will be in the not to distant future, if not obsolete itself in 5 years with some new tech, soon to be mass produce, within 5 yrs. 50 yrs of driving, and don't think I've ever broken anything under the car, that wasn't just wear & tear. Ex: tie-rods & U-joints or strut once in TH.

Good endorsement of an Ora Good Cat purchase "Not an isolate case many reports on youtube" ... or just repetitive YTs of the same report. As so many of the same other BS vids I've seen. Example .... .... the guy who bought a POS Tesla to blow up on his channel ... false reports of dumped EV (graveyard) to jack up sales #s, when actually poor business decision by a couple rent a car companies.

Whistleblower exposes yet another legacy auto maker ... I don't trust any of them. "Toyota's Daihatsu to halt all vehicle shipments as safety scandal widens TOKYO (Reuters) -Toyota Motor's Daihatsu unit will halt shipments of all vehicles both overseas and in Japan, it said on Wednesday, after an investigation into a safety scandal found issues at some 64 models, including 22 sold under the Toyota brand."

Certainly contradicts the 'no value' statement of the article. Depending on that agreement, to the manufacturers, it's only a matter of time before they will be of value to 2nd hand market, when developed to repurpose the battery banks, whether in a vehicle or on a solar system, in TH. Believe 2nd hand market already there in USA & Europe. For the article to state no value, is simply wrong. Author either very ignorant, or very bias.

Agree, and millions enter TH every year, legally & contribute, or at least follow the rules. Same w/USA, being a melting pot of immigrants. ALL WELCOME ... LEGALLY

PEA power outage tomorrow, all 'day', guessing running a new transformer for the building lots, someone started construction on down the road a bit. Maybe 2 days if not finished. If not having solar, could plug into the EV, w/E-MB still available for transport, if was needed. Freezers/frigs are full up most of the time ... prepped for the zombie apocalypse. Where's the outlet on the ICEVs ?

I experienced it on Ko Phayam ... pretty cool. Flat surf, but they lit up with your every movement. Nice midnight skinny dips, with stars lighting the sky & fluorescents in the water ... amazing nature. Good to be alive Now if we only had aurora borealis here

I can only laugh ... That an intelligent person even thinks any part of that statement is a reality. Part of, 100%, 13th or any other silly thing about the Constitution you can think of, can be suspended. Stop ... seriously, stop, don't bother, as you're now on my ignore list. Replied too many times already. Apparently 'have a nice day' & 'bye bye' wasn't enough of a clue.

OK, now it's 'part' of the Constitution. Again, if not ignorant, you know how silly saying, or even thinking that would be a reality is. One can only hope. And you actually waste your time reading such op-eds ... and then post as a 'what if' scenario ... This is why the world is the way it is, because 'some folks'(to be kind) actually believe all these divisionary op-eds, read, believe, and are distracted by, while what they should be worried about and thinking about, happens right in front of them. Can't be bothered with your next silly scenario ... BYE BYE
