Really haven't a clue, as not exactly a lot of specs available. The dead/dying battery was complete false advertising, and TBH, wasn't surprised. Only that it died as fast as it did. Neither are name brand, although the 2nd one (10Ah) is quite impressive for the price. The comparison of the 2 is obvious. Dead one is 1/3 the size of the good one, but spec'd 3X better (30Ah vs 10Ah) ???? It was damn cheap though, and hindsight, now damn expensive per kms ????????

I guess we're upper southern or lower central, but all seems about normal here. Late start, end of May. The telling point will be late Aug/Sept/Oct. Last year I noticed very wet, and longer season, up to Nov.

Have 2 batteries for my ebike, one inexpensive, and not surprisingly, and expected, I got what I paid for, and I believe it has already died. And a quick death at that. I've taken it off the bike, (as I don't trust it) and will test one more time, but not optimistic.

79 yrs old ... no wonder some countries can't move forward and nothing changes, as a bunch of old geriatrics at the helm.

Our last ICE car got 14 kms/L (MG ZS) and seems about the ballpark kms/L for using 91, in a 1500cc motor, as matches the kms/L for the Vios & Mazda 2 we had also. Doing the speed limit of 90 kph +/- Using ฿35 per L, so about ฿2.5 per km Our EV, same MG ZS, but BEV, cost about ฿1 per km, using charging stations when out & about.

Reads like you've made your mind up to abandon your son, and just want someone to agree that it's a good idea. Good for you, maybe for him, as you seem to be out of the picture anyway.

It's called defensive driving. Been here 20+ years, and nobody has hit me yet, although I've had to move and get out of their way more times than I can count. Sh!t happens, but somethings are avoidable if paying attention ... and doing the speed limit.

It's really simple ... Speed Kills Drive the speed, and you realize, it's almost impossible to have an accident (fatal), along with watching all the idiots blow by you. Oh yea ... wear a helmet ???? You'll never be able to fix stupid Has nothing to do with the 'Thai system', people are simply irresponsible idiots, and pay the price for it. One can only hope they kill themselves.

Why ... simply because it's easy, and they may have problems self entertaining. On the subject of Nan, headed that way very soon, anyone know what # road this actually is:

Definitely, and I'd take that over any ICE at that price point, if you can find any that inexpensive. Low cost to operate & maintain, all and added plus, adding to the value.

As do the Dems, as it seem to be a mandatory running platform. Stop making it sound like one party is better than the other, they aren't ... IMHO

Correct ... and a good thing IMHO As long as criminals have access to them, you may want one if in the USA And I won't debate, been done already.

Technically, true 'assault weapons' don't cause any deaths, at least not for almost 100 yrs. Think 1930 was one of the last incidents using. People confuse 'assault' with 'semi automatic' weapons. And yes, handguns kill considerably more than long rifles. I've posted the FBI stat links way too many times go bother. Just search forum for 'FBI' surely the threads will pop up.

Leave the ol' guy alone. He's only got 2 more yrs to go, and besides, he's doing a fine job ... ... for expats If he runs, no way he's getting elected if he gets the Dem nod. Especially if he keeps Cackles as his VP, as nobody wants to see her as Pres. Well, maybe expats again.

Almost all of Europe & SEA (WW2) ... is a bit different than the simple regime change of UA, that many were unhappy with, and prefer to not be part of any more. Along with inhabitants of the districts wanting out, mostly having Russian heritage. Many possibly not even happy to be part of the UA at all for the past 30ish yrs, since that other referendum & independence. As always, who to believe. Been lied to too many time by my govt, so I don't believe anything, and again, it's a regional issue. But meddling in other's affairs is hugely profitable. Morality has nothing to do with it ... IMHO Believe what you want.

I can say the same about anything coming from UN or NATO. Still looking for them WMD ? You'll never know the truth, and it's a UA, Crimea, RU issue. Shouldn't even affect the rest of the world, and yet, how much did petrol cost or electric prices rise since last year or so. How many energy/fossil fuel/oil companies reported record profits. hmm ... go figure

And if that fails to give you the results you want, maybe will do best out of 5 .... and so forth.

For a mere 20 (?) baht, beats walking in the pollution, heat & humidity, if that's your only convenant transport.

If not mistaken, black smoke should never come out or any vehicle, if properly maintained. Old or misadjusted injectors. Some just need cleaning and have an easy fix, with an additive to prevent, but, that would cut into profits. What does the driver care for, the smoke is behind him. Diesel should have been banned decades ago, as a direct link to negative health issues.

They're usually the ones spewing the black smoke, diesel fueled ICEs.

And yet, most in Crimea happily left the UA behind and have no desire to return ... IMHO ... from what I've read. Crimea

Unless diesel, which many pickups are. I Patts was forward thinking, they'd simply set up a revolving looping monorail/tram route along beach road (all of) and half of 2nd Road, and limit those sections to the tram, bicycle, ebikes/scooter & walking. NO ICE vehicles. Couple large parking garages outside the main, w/ shuttle service to the tram. Obviously city planning is not their forte'.

Hat Yai World Tour seems to simply be the name of a transport company, (van & buses), with many routes, local & interprovince, and name may have no reference to the 'destination' or route of Hat Yai to/from Phuket. Van & driver could easily be base in and never leave Phuket. Funny when someone with local knowledge comments on and possibly gets it wrong.
