Incorrect. I was a happy Christian for quite some time. Until giving it a lot more thought & research, and realized what a farce it is. Actually come from a Holy Roller, strong Christian family, 2 brothers/wives, have given up trying to save me, and 3rd brother's wife, being hard core Catholic. I think Brother #3 is agnostic. Can't say any aspect of their beliefs has annoyed me, so no real negatives. Others I don't know, who ask and try to convert me, I simply ignore, and have no real respect for them if they continue. But nobody who knows me would do that. Me and my family, we just A2D, and they probably think I'm lost, and me, thinking they're nuts ???? to be kind, since I love 'em.

King of the marketing, for the Coffee Universe. Starbucks (USA) & Amazon (TH) are 2 of the worst chain coffees I've sampled. I'd rather drink Moccona 3/1, before the above, or any instant coffee, except Nescafe, as that's just vile. Dunkin' (USA & TH) one of the best, and actually one of 4 other chains I've sampled. Inthanin is just OK, along with another, always in Thai script. Bon Cafe, shops, beans & ground coffee is quite good also, though been years since having. I like ma/pa shops, and most are just OK, though occasionally have a very good coffee now and then from them.

Irrelevant what I think, as if you are happy in your belief, and adds an extra smile to your thoughts, believing, then probably a good thing. As positivity, from my reading, is healthy. You really don't want my honest opinion, of what I think about people who believe in GOD. Trust me, besides, it would be against the rules for me to voice that opinion. I simply accept, not everyone believes or thinks in the same manner.

Apparently we can't. GOD existence or lack of (with me), doesn't affect my consciousness at all. With me, GOD is a word/mythical entity to control people. Nothing more, nothing less. Belief in GOD, gives some folks false hope of whatever they are praying for, to become a reality.

Yes. 562 pages of 'discussing' something that is impossible to prove or disprove exists ???? Science can only disproved how it was written about and sold/preached to those needing. But is there a GOD ... we'll just have to wait until we krap out for the sequel.

You could have left that part out. A bit telling. ????

Y'all buying these as collector items, as where do you plan on driving, needing such power ? Live next to a racetrack you have access to ? I'm having a hard time, and rarely use the 177hp/280 nm torque our family car (ZS) has. Really is more 'instant' power than I'll ever need or use. Nice when doing a quick pass on a winding road, which I might not have done with the ICE version. But that's about it. Speed limits of 90/120, and not the best roads to exceed those speeds on most of the time. Just because they make muscle cars doesn't mean it's practical to own. Especially when OP is asking about 'small hatchback/cars'. Scratch that one: "In Thailand, Volkswagen has discontinued the Golf GTI and this Cars model is out of production"

Agree with her, as I wouldn't let daughter stay at anyone's overnight, unless I knew them personally, which means, she was rarely, almost never out of my site. As much to keep her un-pregnant, as safe from pervs. Her hormonal teen years were extremely restricted, which she understands and appreciates why now @ 24 yrs old.

Obviously depends on the car. If pristine motor as in vid, then no, why would you, unless simply wanting better performance. But if I had a couple of my past vehicles, which were mechanically challenged when I had them, and had them now, along with more money than I knew what to do with, then hell yea. 68 ish VW Van 50 Buick Special ... both electrified would be way too cool, as stock motors were on their last leg when I had them.

With parental consent. If you're going to comment on a thread, you should probably read the OP or reply you are commenting on. Then you wouldn't come off sounding like a perv. Just because young love/teen sex is acceptable worldwide, soliciting prostitution from children is not. The title states 'underage' ... or did you miss that also. You have to be a certain age just to enter or work in a bar. When someone, (older expat) states some 'age of consent' ... well ... nuff said Let's just say, I wouldn't let them watch the kids while I'm away, or have my daughter spend the weekend over at their house. "dad ... can I stay at my friends house this weekend" "does she have a farang in the house" "yes" .... "HELL NO" ... ????

apologies .... ????

Definitely solve the over population problem.

Best statement @ 2:20 of the vid .. ❤️

Yea, that thing pops up, more than couple times, and I'm done. Over to Gmap, to find a coffee/pastry shop ????

@HandsomeTallFarang Turn the AC on, can't quit now, as you're keeping the economy going.

Why, isn't everyone from an inter-cultural relationship down the line somewhere. Everybody I know is part Irish on St Paddy's Day. I always ask the gals to kiss the part on me that Irish. The frisky Leprechaun, as they like to call it, as it does magical things ????

Damn, that's cold. Nothing like love .. ❤️

You can thank your fellow skint expats, who live here irresponsibly, with no health insurance or oops fund. Stiffing the hospitals for millions of baht. And the only way they can do that .... IS USE AGENTS. We thank them for screwing the rest of us, who follow the rules, and now extensions are scrutinized, which TBH, I actually like. But it was nice when they/IOs were friendlier and didn't have to process 100+ pages, and things sped along.

Did you ask them pre covid, because I thought they wore them for smog. Far less wore them during non smog season, In my observations. I hope there aren't, weren't that many people walking around sick, as if they were even aware of the danger they posed before covid enlightened people that maybe they should stay home when sick. Just think of all the times I got in trouble at work, for using my sick time ... .... I guess now it's encouraged ... ????

I think I'll continue to pay myself 8-10k for that hour, while sitting at Imm on my phone, trolling AN. That's like 2 or 3X what I paid myself when I did work. And I get to pop into the mall (which we don't have) for some shopping or a munch. Or, pays for that weekend O&A. Give it away, or spend on yourself ... UP2U

And where would that be today, in TH, as even Phuket is mostly showing 'moderate' AQI #s

I was thinking prisons in general, are too comfy, to serve as punishment. The 13 yr old ... we have little info. He may have been a danger to others or himself. More importantly, why is a 13 yr old, even in prison. Parents ? Maybe they should serve his time, as it may help them put a little effort into raising him properly.

Our MG ZS ICE got a thirsty 10 kms per liter of petrol. Our MG ZS EV consistently get 360+ per charge (cycle) Cost per 360 kms comparison between ICE vs EV: EV (MG ZS) ... 360 kms @ home w/solar -0- ... 360 kms @ home w/grid @ ฿5 kwh = ฿232 ... 360 kms @ MG SuperCharger @ ฿7.5 kWh (฿8 kWh) = ฿371 ICE (MG ZS) ... 360 kms @ ฿36 per L = ฿1396 Cost over the life of the MG ZS EV warranty vs ICE (8 yr/180 kms): EV (MG ZS) ... 180k kms @ home w/solar -0- ... 180k kms @ home w/grid @ ฿5 kwh = ฿116k ... 180k kms @ MG SuperCharger @ ฿7.5 kWh (฿8 kWh) = ฿185.5k ICE (MG ZS) ... 180k kms @ ฿36 per L = ฿698k Cost over the life of LFP Battery (2500 cycles/900k kms) ???? EV (MG ZS) ... 900k kms @ home w/solar -0- ... 900k kms @ home w/grid @ ฿5 kwh = ฿580k ... 900k kms @ MG SuperCharger @ ฿7.5 kWh (฿8 kWh) = ฿927.5k ICE (MG ZS) ... 900k kms @ ฿36 per L = ฿3,490,000 If your ICE gets 20 kms per L =฿1,745,000 Someone want to tell me again, why owning an EV cost more. At 2500 cycles, the EV battery may still hold 80% capacity. Spend YOUR money on YOU, or give it to Big Oil... ... UP2U It's not rocket ... just simple math ???? https://zecar.com/resources/how-long-do-electric-car-batteries-last

If I lived in BKK or somewhere prone to constant flooding, I'd give serious thought to keeping an inexpensive ICE pick-up close by. I wouldn't drive m ZS ICE through floor board high water last time up at Future Park mall, and waited inside at restaurant till it subsided. Took about 1 hr. Amazed people drive through that, and actually surprised none stalled out. Would suck not having the option of not driving in bkk's flooded roads, or anywhere.

Smog protection, I would think.
