How does it all end?
Y'all think too much. My biggest concern in life now ... is the dog purposely ignoring me, or starting to show signs of senility. Do dogs even get senile and or dementia. Or do I have it, and she did listen to me, and I just forgot or am confused what we were talking about. I'm sorry, what was the topic ...

Retirement extension - Bangkok - Proof of 65.000 THB income
For anyone else reading, and doing non 0 immigrant extensions at Hua Hin. The Imm office at Bluport Mall does NOT issue extensions for 'non 0 immigrant visas'.

Canadian Man, 86, Dies After Fall From Pattaya Condo
Unless it's a construction issue, failure, balcony, railing or what ever, gives way, then you have to be extreme stupid, to fall off any balcony, whether having any railing at any height, or no railing at all. I equate all balconies as standing at the edge of a cliff. I don't lean over those either. Sitting on, leaning on, putting any weight or pressure on any balcony railing is pure stupidity, unless you built it yourself. This applies to everywhere, not just TH. Sh!t Happens

Retirement extension - Bangkok - Proof of 65.000 THB income
If you're referring to Bluport Mall Imm @ Hua Hin, then NO, they do NOT do extensions there. I do extensions at HH Imm based on monthly income, and they require 3 things from bank ... ... balance statement ... print out of activity of your account ... credit advice of deposits, shows international source and tracking You'll also need copies of your bank passbook & passbook Along with statement from gov't office verifying you are still married Wife will need to be in attendance, (w/govt ID) along with witness (w/govt ID) Copy of lease and or blue/yellow book (proof of residence) Need to provide a map from residence to Imm office Also need to provide photos of you & wife at residence, include one of you standing in front of numbered address, if applicable. If first application for visa extension, they will visit your home during '30 day consideration' period. If you deal with BBL, allow one week to get all 3 (bank branch dependent) You won't need, income letter, nor will they even accept it. This in reference to USA, so can't comment on other countries. The reason they stopped accepting USA income affidavits, is because they actually read it. USA Embassy does not verify the info provided, and won't verify it. Guess to much work for your $50 USD. They won't accept any USA statements of finances, ex; 1099 or SS COLA statement (I asked)

EV Owners … Real life experience & help thread
Bored, so went through G Timeline and noted all our O&A. Timeline can be screwy with kms, so had to check the many I though were wrong, and most were. So corrected as much as possible. We seem to drive more kms when O&A, than locally. 2022 MG ZS EV after 3+ years of owning, purchased 30 Oct 2022. Owning ~39 months (30 October 2022), 1,178 days = 3 years, 2 months, 20 days ... & 55,257 kms = 46.9 kms per day 1st year ... 19,950 kms, (~10,390 kms O&A) requiring hotel stays. ... ~ 0.6 % degradation 2nd year ... ~16,000 kms (~9500 kms O&A), for total of ~35,500 kms ... ~ 2.23% total degradation 3rd year ... ~16,000 kms (~9215 kms O&A) for total of ~51,500k ... ~5% total degradation @ 3 yrs, 2 month, 20 days & total kms @ 55,256 kms Since Oct 2025, 3756 kms (~2320 A&O) Might chime back in, Oct 2026, if charging differently makes a difference with degradation. HAPPY MOTORING

Solar - 8kW Hybrid Inverter w/10kWh (upgraded to 20kWh in Sept. 2022) ESS/battery (not DIY)
Have solar ? ... got to pay attention. Plugged in the car, when producing 2.5kWh, car taking 2.3kWh. BUT, very overcast, and AQI @ 75+, so around noon, noticed with ACs on and washing machine going, only produced 12.5, while using 14.5 and @ 44% ... oops. Now back at 59%, (11.8kWh) and only sending 2.2kWh to ESS ... doubt if we'll make it back to 100% (20kWh) before sunset.

Post about degradation of our 2022 MG ZS, with LFP battery ... https://aseannow.com/topic/1257405-electric-vehicles-in-thailand/page/373/#findComment-20338326

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
MG ZS has just gotten to 100%, though not fully balanced yet, and also didn't start at 10-20% state of, when plugged in. Not really an equalization test. NEDC estimate by ZS calculations is 380 kms, original was 403, and round up for easy math, and that 5% degradation, over 40 months & 54k kms. At this rate, at the 8 yr warranty mark, will by 12% down, and at 88%. Hopefully, adjusting the way we charge, we slow that down a bit. All a bit irrelevant, as we barely get 250+ kms or 3+ hours before stopping to P, eat, stroll around & plug in, while stopping when O&A.

Think the main difference would be the exposure to heat when charging, DC vs AC. Along with possibly, more percentage charged by DC, as you state, driven a bit harder, and battery drained lower before charged. Saying that, it was our experience, first 14 months owning our MG ZS, as half the kms (10k of 20k kms) were DC charged, but, not up to 100%, and rarely adding more than 60%, per charging session. First year+ of O&A, rarely went below 30%, or above 95% when done charging. I also suspect, rarely at the max 76kW speed the car will accept, as charged at MG dealers, and not known to be fast cables, along with early CS, especially if 2 cars charging. And degradation was less < 1%, by my unscientific testing: https://aseannow.com/topic/1276247-ev-owners-%E2%80%A6-real-life-experience-help-thread/page/7/#comment-18547380 Haven't paid attention, but believe last 2 of 3 years owning, and degradation has be faster. So may change how I charge at home now, from 75 or 80% - 100% every time. Maybe charge 60-90% most of the month, and 100% just a couple times a month. See if slows down the degradation, onward for a year.

Cereal for kids
Nobody 'has to eat tons of sugar'. As I stated, I don't think my daughter ever ate breakfast cereal, aside from loaded with sugar, just silly priced, and too many healthy options. If eating cereal, there are healthier options, brands not loaded with sugar and a good way to get fiber, if wanting. Why I eat cereal, without all the added sugar when made. I simply add a healthy version of sugar for taste and nutrients, blueberries. Busy families struggle sometimes to eat healthy foods, and go the convenient route. My perfect, and daily breakfast is 2 eggs. Usually scrambled, and if I don't break the yolks in the bowl, then sunny side up, and I get to have toast & butter, which to me, is like a desert. Need something to mop up the yolk, and any excuse to eat my homemade whole wheat bread works for me.

Why Greenland Spat Could See The End Of NATO
One can only hope. USA out of NATO, and Europe would be lovely. Paying each resident of Greenland to break away from Denmark would be a bargain. 500k to each resident, would only cost <30 billion USD. Musk could even spring for that, as pocket change for him.

- Who was Renee Good?
Did she, or did she not hit him with her vehicle, and pretty obvious, he was standing in front of her car, and hard not to see him. With his past, of people running him over with a vehicle, I'd be ready to shoot also. She could have complied with numerous request for her to leave the area, or get out of her vehicle. No, she made her choice, and he defended himself against a potential threat. She created a situation, he ended it. Threat to him and anyone else ... eliminated. Y'all have a nice day.- Who was Renee Good?
I don't think I need some bias idiot to explain what I saw in the various vids. Female purposely drives auto into ICE agent, as he shoots her to protect himself and or others as she commits assault with a deadly weapon. He even sustained internal injuries, the force was that hard, and still managed to get off 2 more shot. Out F'g standing, and we need more agents out there, just like him, risking their lives, taking the scum off the streets, along with those interfering with their duties. If local police would do their job, she'd still be alive. If she wasn't participating in illegal activity, she'd still be alive. It's not Trumps fault, and certainly not the agent's fault, for trying to do his job. It is her fault, the local police's fault, the mayor's fault, the governor's fault, and all the idiot voting tax payers who support their sanctuary city & state policies. Unless of course, you defend criminals, rapist and murderers roaming the country that entered illegally and don't even belong in the country. I'm sure you support all the illegals in you home country as well.- US Considering Asylum for British Jews
The USA is not the saviors of the world. If everyone not happy where they are came from, went to the USA, it would way worse off than it is now. Don't you read the news. 40+ million can't feed themselves now in USA. Millions are homeless and living in the streets. That's all the USA needed, was millions more that don't speak English/American or couldn't support themselves. Just think what the deficit would be now, if USA took in half of Europe. And why just the Jews ??? How about the others; blacks, gays, etc. How about, if y'all take care of yourselves. Just think if you stood up to Hitler & Nazis before they were too strong. Oh wait, did you not have any firearms to defend yourself. That's why us Yanks have that 2nd Amendment ... remember that when you ask, 'why you need so many guns ?'- Thrill of Thai Nudist Resort Shocks Netizens

Indeed, that's where they all should go. UK to USA, and yet, the Yank Jews are complaining about the same thing, increased anti semitism. Join all the others in NYC, as there's more than 3 times as many Jews there, than in all of the UK. Although, they are complaining about the same thing. But don't all Jews complain about that every year ... everywhere ??? That's all I read about in the news.- The Serious Discussions Likely Taking Place in NATO Capitals
... "It is an absolute certainty" ... or not- NASA Gears Up for Epic Moon Mission!
DEI in space ... come on, one has to come out of the closet to make it complete, and if that one is a handicap person, win win. They can't even rescue the crew from ISS, and people think they'll be going to the moon Anyone else think the spy agencies are running out of funds ? NASA ... what a scam.- Could the 'very strange swap arrangement' be true?
That's been happening for decades, and it takes the 'uniparty' to pass all those 'appropriations' in the budget' out of the Congress. Has nothing to do with right or left, especially the few you've listed. Minor differences in left or right, which I stated, and which nobody has any influence over. Why I don't vote, or care. Simply avoided paying as much taxes as I possibly could, as the only thing I could control ... my finances. You thinking there is a 2 party system in the USA simply shows your total ignorance of USA & world politics. Ignore the distractions, and you may learn the way of the world.
