The same people I mention, is the reason for that change. Thank them.

I am also L&LL, but every time some skint expats has financial problems, 'can't pay hospital bill', because too poor to be in the country, without insurance or oops fund, it reflects bad on the rest of us. And they start enforcing the rules, strictly. You hear people crying about they keep moving the goal post for retirement & marriage visas. Not the case, they're just not as lax as they use to be, because of all the scammers. Rules for marriage and retirement haven't changed since I've been here, but they enforce them now. And add what every they like, photos being a new one. Not sure all provinces do that. Especially when it comes to marriage visas. Use to be so easy. Now they come to your house, want to have photos of you, don't even trust their own staff, as they'll take a photo of themselves at your house number. Make the wife get a certification that still married every year now. Don't even trust local office to do them. Retirement visa are still done locally, and they can use their discretion, though nothing like before.

Yes, I was still researching when that was pointed out, thank you. Had 6 months to finalize to research, actually 5, as car arrived 1 month early. Ordered, and did not receive yet, actually quite a few months away when pointed out. I almost cancelled the order, as very happy with the ICE version, and less than 2 yrs old. Getting solar sealed the deal.

I've never had an IO, tell me they prefer or suggest an agent to me. I would think that would be their preference, as the agent would eliminate the IO having to deal with idiots every day. I'm amazed how long it takes, and the amount of conversation they have with some people extending. I hand them everything, even in the order they put it in. Only thing they usually say to me, 'let me see the original', which is sitting in front of me. Shuffle shuffle shuffle, smile (snap), stamp stamp stamp, I did your 90day, 1900 baht, thank you, go have a seat, wait for receipt. It really doesn't get any easier. Of course, if I lived in Krung Thep (never), I might use an agent. Went their once for something simple, forget what, and it took almost all day. Yea, sign me up for an agent.

Yes, and I'm surprised AN allows that discussion of illegal/corrupt activity to even exist, as all it does is perpetuate the problem, and make the rest of us suffer, because of the few. I'm sure some of the same people that complain about the police not doing their job, or the country's corruption issues, are some of the same that use agent, and not just for convenience. Hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform.

NO, I didn't scourer the forums, for every little mishap someone had in an MG. People wouldn't buy any vehicles if they listened to people's complaints and mishaps. MG has been making the EV version for 5 ish yrs (2018), so plenty of time to work the kinks out, along with some very nice upgrades. No big headliner of issues. One or 2 issues they sorted out since 2018, with upgrades. If a recall comes up for anything, I'm sure I'll hear about. SAIC been building cars for decades, quite successfully. SAIC & MG haven't had any scandals like most of the other western auto makers, so I'd trust them way more than the rest.

Anyone who 'has to' use an agent, really shouldn't be living here. Stay in home country with your healthcare safety net.

I could afford to live in any part of TH on 800k a years. 60k ish a month should be no problem for anyone. Mandatory monthly expenses would be: Rent starts @ 5k & up Utilities, ph/int @~5k Food starts @ 10k & up That leaves a lot, left over for whatever.

3 yrs don't make me an expert, especially since I've yet to even change the oil or a tire on our MGs. Push the button, starts, foot on accelerator. Now take to dealer, they peek, I drink coffee, and before I'm done drinking coffee, told all good, no charge ... HAVE A NICE DAY ????

INDESTRUCTABLE FLEXIBLE SOLAR PANELS ... Perfected 'old tech', now 'new tech', and yes, pricey. But applications where you wouldn't, shouldn't, couldn't put panels before. Except for cost, no reason, (hailstorms, no problem) for anyone not to have solar: Stuck in this thread, as it's run it's course, as this with die shortly also. Silly to start a new threads.

@parallaxtech I sent a msg to LAX & Shopee, asking if participating in 'Fall In Sale'

PTT has more 'killing time' and food options, if needing. Bangchak's/PEA have the Inthanon coffee shop, OK, and some have small market (Big C). I see the new larger ones/Bangchak, will go head to head with PTT Parks. One thing to note, if haven't already, PTT EVStation Pluz machines reset at 55 mins after the hour, and charging will stop. Reservations, if making, (not necessary to use) are for 'on the hour' with a 10 minute window, (I think) before expiring. Fee 40 baht. Drive in without is fine, and best close to top of hour is best, if needing, wanting a bit more than 50%. 30-90% goes in fast enough, that last 10% take some time, so we rarely wait around much beyond 80-85%, unless doing something on the laptop. On a long leg, it's a lot faster if you stop 2X, and top up to 80-90% rather than up to 100%. That extra 10% could take 20 min. or so.

1 shooting makes international news ... and now it's an issue that needs discussing. Good thing the other 2800 homicides by firearms didn't make the news ???? https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-deaths-by-country

Many of the PEA Volta's are at Bangchak Petrol stations

Do you think anyone moving back to the USA will be on AN, to follow the happenings in Thailand, of SEA. Don't think you'll be getting too many replies. I certainly wouldn't, same as I don't follow any forums about the USA after leaving. How bored do you have to be to do that?

'Large cache' ... that's a bit of a stretch ????

ECOFLOW has flagship & official stores: LAZ Shopee

"more details" seem to be lacking more details ????

Rule of thumb for all stimulants ????

He thought out & executed a mass shooting, with 3 dead (?), and a few injured. That's a bit too much of conscious planning & thinking to me. Not some tart mimicking a video game because he doesn't know right from wrong. No compassion from me, though I can think of a compassionate way to avoid this idiot from doing it again, but that would be against forum rules to suggest.

Not sure if he saw the replies or not. Wish we could tell who likes a reply, as would have answered that question. Notice some folks don't know how to search their profile for previous posts, and simply start a new thread.

Your other thread

At least 2 houses, so unless staying with another relative, they have a bit more than most. "Their son typically resided in another home in the Sathorn district" And on the gun issue ... more than a few here in TH, according to Wiki. 6M+ registered 4M+ unregistered (?) Making it into the top 50 or 230 countries/territories for firearms per capita (15 per 100ppl): source You'd be surprised how easy it is to get one here/TH (unregistered), and I speak from experience.

Compassion for the shooter ... ????
