''get locals out of convenience to Krung Thep and weekending it''

We use Cafe Roma, arabica beans now, and past 10 ish years. Had Rock & Rosters at coffee shop last week, and think we'll give them a try. From the chains, I've only had Bon Cafe, and are fine beans. If you've been drink the worst instant available, anything would be an upgrade. Roasting is not the easiest task, so might want to give the green beans a pass. Have a coffee machine, French press, Moka pot and SS drip funnel thingy. The results are basically the same, with exception of we'll get crema from the machine, IF, using (I don't) the pressurized vs the naked portafilter. I actually use the drip funnel thingy of late, as easier for my large morning cuppa.

Thais, as myself, avoid farang infested areas ... is that really a big surprise. Patts, Cha-Am & Hua Hin get locals out of convenience to Krung Thep and weekending it. And only because they want the surf or imagined, fresher seafood.

That's as silly a saying NYC or Las Vegas is the same as all the USA Patts is the same as Patong & lower Suk rd area maybe, as a mango/mango comparison. Even that's a stretch.

Great info ... thank you ????

Why not just give the MB to her with a legal name / registration change. As you'll probably never use or see it again anyway. Avoids any legal issues down the road. Drivers are responsible for accidents, but, TIT, if someone wants to scam you when found out a 'farang' owns it ... wouldn't be unheard of.

You actually expect any new threads or sub-forums not to be noisy/ruined by the same folks that troll the already established thread & sub-forums. That's funny ...

If you have to ask those questions, then avoid investing in RE in Thailand. Invest in the USA, and use that income to live, rent, own in Thailand when the time comes.

That's some funny A$$ Sh!t ... ... at least I learned a new word: Incel From Wikipedia: An incel (/ˈɪnsɛl/ IN-sel, an abbreviation of "involuntary celibate"????) is a member of an online subculture of people who define themselves as unable to get a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one. Discussions in incel forums are often characterized by resentment and hatred, misogyny, misanthropy, self-pity and self-loathing, racism, a sense of entitlement to sex, and the endorsement of violence against women and sexually active people.[16] The American Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) described the subculture as "part of the online male supremacist ecosystem" that is included in their list of hate groups. Incels are mostly male and heterosexual, and are often white. ???? Estimates of the overall size of the subculture vary greatly, ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands of individuals.

That vid has more than a few 'mistakes in it'. 12 year losing streak for a company that's only been around since 2015. No need to waste my time watching pass the first minute. Shut down during C-19, and filed bankruptcy in 2020. Seems C-19 related, not market related. Moving on from the BS ... ???? Anti-China YT channel, fits right in with some member here ... ????

Just leave a night light on ... helps avoid stumping one's toes also.

He' so bias, nothing he states can be taken seriously. Are EVs perfect, of course not. Better than their ICE counterparts, yes, in every way, as long as you don't need the range every day, or you have deep deep pockets for the 7-8-900-1000 km vehicles in the works. Only people bashing EVs are the most ignorant, OR ... people highly 'vested' in ICEs. That's a bit too obvious.

I'm an Electrolux fan, and if close in price, or reasonably close, will buy. Lots of fakes out there, so only buy from 'Flagship' store on LAZ, or linked vendors on 'their' home site. You can usually get hands on at HomePro or Central, and an occasional sale. Especially HP online discounted, and an pick up locally, or have delivered. Strange marketing, but not complaining. So far, so good, all running after years of use. First purchase, a gas hob, was <deleted>, but also a fake. Actually turned me off from Electrolux 22 yrs ago, till I was schooled on fakes here.

vs the non Chinese car with the Chinese chips that don't send your info to CCP ????

Always bearded (well trimmed), as I simply hated shaving with a blade for work, when required. Never a complaint vs some compliments. Now clean shaven (electric), so don't mind, since a beard adds 10 yrs to my handsomeness ????

Scratch the MG ZS (BEV) also, and I'm actually surprised it's called an SUV, 'crossover', at some links. Rating & labels get a bit silly at times. The Atto 3 has a bit more cargo space when seats are down, 1340 L vs 1100 L.

Not CM, but think I'm the lone guy, one of, that had it installed, vs DIY. Very happy with the results, and highly recommend you go forward with an install or DIY, if possible. The 'independence' from the grid is liberating ... ???? We're going to add another 10kWh ESS, but that's the only change/upgrade. Hindsight, regret not putting 2 panels on East roof, and just went with 2 strings of 9 panels (S&W), instead of 3 of 6 panels. Due to E roof probably wouldn't have supported 6 very well. Two on a 30° pitch would catch the 2 full hr during sunrise that we miss, and then some afterward. Recharge the ESSs right away, instead waiting for the extra, over our use, that we're getting now at ~0730 hrs. 0730-0800 hrs, and ESS starts charging, though that is overcast skies. Expect the to be a bit earlier once done with rainy season. Not a big deal, as the additional ESS will compensate for that. You can never have too much storage ???? Initial cost for us was ฿345k, and additional ESS is ฿100k, so ฿445k total installed. As the thread states, a local Hua Hin installer. https://aseannow.com/topic/1268214-solar-8kw-hybrid-inverter-w10kwh-essbattery-not-diy/

239 yrs, not 2039 ... oops

Would think many visit UK & EU simply for curiosity, or even to check out their 'roots'. Afterwards, may realize why their ancestors left ???? USA having no royals for 2039 ish yrs, and in 2019 had 79 million tourist, more than UK population. Must of visited to see Trump.

good

going off topic ... ... running out of threads to follow
