That was a few years ago, might be 500 baht now .. ???? https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/Dr.+Somchai+Skin+Clinic/@17.4032795,102.7906209,3a,75y,295.98h,95.36t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1shwf8q3mbNgIuUqhg3zmXgA!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3Dhwf8q3mbNgIuUqhg3zmXgA%26cb_client%3Dsearch.revgeo_and_fetch.gps%26w%3D96%26h%3D64%26yaw%3D218.00638%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!4m15!1m8!3m7!1s0x3123bb9daaf86e17:0xc7c2925a6c37e461!2sAmphoe+Rd,+Tambon+Nong+O,+Amphoe+Nong+Wua+So,+Chang+Wat+Udon+Thani+41220!3b1!8m2!3d17.1632764!4d102.5733009!16s%2Fg%2F1hm5xxzmd!3m5!1s0x31239d75d7c79815:0x75f9371106e6c0b9!8m2!3d17.4033385!4d102.7904978!16s%2Fg%2F1hc55rtwm

Nissan's E track record isn't too good with me, after the Leaf. Which sold for silly price here due to lack of competitive. A vendor's tactic that I would avoid just for spite. Kicks back in 2020 was a 3 cyl, and hybrid, I think, which neither interested me. I don't even think I peeked at it, or any EV as still too expensive back in 2020. Without the govt incentives, we probably would still have the ZS ICE.

No, nothing about that impressed me, when we got the 2020 MG ZS (ICE). Loved the ZS, so simply got the EV version in 2020. If anything like the overpriced POS Leaf, then I don't think I would even consider it.

For me it is, as I honor my vows, and my word when given. How I was raised, and how I raised my daughter. As it stuck with me, it stuck with my daughter. She was out with friends, as a teen, and I asked 'how they got there ?' answer was MB, and next question was 'did you wear a helmet ?' as she knows I didn't like her on MBs and you better wear a helmet. She answered 'No', knowing I'd by pisss'd, but told the truth anyway. That's how we were raised, that shows character. Yes, being an honest person matters in my world, and says a lot about someone's character. How you don't understand that ... well, nuff said.

Doesn't that apply to most Royals, unless actually skilled in something other than 'birthright'. Harry can pilot an Apache helicopter and imagine it wouldn't be much to convert that to a civilian helicopter license. Can you fly a helicopter ?

It's so easy to maintain/clean your ear wax accumulation. Stop listening to the ear docs that say 'don't put anything smaller than your elbow in you ear', when they do the opposite. After your next cleaning (or before), simply use Q-tip/ear buds once a week after a shower, and wipe the excess that accumulates on the inner upper ring of your ear canal. Your not going to damage your eardrum, unless really careless & stupid. Think cleaning the under side, of the top of the peanut butter jar. That's all it takes. No need to go in any deeper than the opening of the canal. If you do, go deeper, then you may even pack what's in there down. Not good, so just clean the inner rim. Actually a lot of room between the opening of canal and the eardrum. Don't want to stick anything in your ear, use the butt wash, adjust the pressure to something comfortable, or simply warm showerhead water, IF you can get the pressure up enough.

Also is for the house & EVs, though expensive compared to other DIY systems noted on the forum, if this and last month is any indication, and not even hot weather yet, looking at <6 yrs ROI. https://aseannow.com/topic/1268214-solar-8kw-hybrid-inverter-w10kwh-upgraded-to-20kwh-in-sept-2022-essbattery-not-diy/page/7/#comment-17928625 But we'll go way off topic if we get into that. ON TOPIC .... OP's 'small' car, is relative but as stated, I wouldn't buy anything with less specs than the Neta, or MG EP. You have to put that against a small inexpensive ICE, like the Celerio, (฿328k) at 200k less than Neta, and put that 200K towards about 100+k kms of petrol. That's a few years of knocking around town, kids to school and shopping, hopefully on the way. Almost 2x that if buying the EP. Definitely something to consider depending on budget. Without our O&A, we barely put 10k kms a year on, and most of those aren't necessary for us. So 10 yrs petrol for someone driving 200 kms a week/800 kms a month, 10k kms a year. That's a lot of local driving, unless a long school run 5 or 6 days a week. (20 kpL @ ฿35) If considering the more popular, top end Toyota or Mazda entry level cars, then it's no brainer, as the Neta is cheaper & EP same or a tad more.

10 mill = 1000 spending 10k a day. Optimistic, though not completely unrealistic ... or 2k people spending 5k a day. Maybe 2019 ????

Actually the Racer Marina is inland, so protected, and on a wide waterway: https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/Racer+Marina+Hua+Hin/@12.4049533,99.9770832,1799m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m7!3m6!1s0x30fdb23c9903d895:0x74783ae62db1257c!4b1!8m2!3d12.4076566!4d99.9783325!16s%2Fg%2F11b77pz8yn

N9 to N23 ... is a pretty long stretch. Which station is closest to work? I would look for a place within walking distance of work, if possible, for everyday ease of 'commute' & living. There always seems to be food around. People always want to be near this & that, but realistically, how often are you going to visit this & that. Versus the inconvenience of daily commute to/from someplace you have to be 5 days a week. And if food vendors on the way, even better. Only other priority, if outdoor exercise oriented, then hopefully a 'green' area near the home. Although very few of those unfortunately. Some sites will let you filter by stations: https://www.thailand-property.com/properties-for-rent/bts/sai-yud?sort=min_price Quick Google peek, and here's a place near N19 https://www.thailand-property.com/ads/1-bedroom-condo-for-rent-in-episode-phahol-sapanmai-anusawari-bangkok-near-bts-sai-yud_8fd73516fbbd-2ea1-9035-edc6-496d3cb2

Not sure I'd buy any of the 'mini' EVs, as spec wise, they're definitely lacking. There's also the Wuling & POCCO, but the specs for the price (฿400 & ฿500k) are not very good values, when the Neta V is a bit more, for a lot more vehicle (38.5 kWh). Charging at home is pretty inexpensive operating cost, especially if solar now or in the future. Not an EV, but starting price of Suzuki CelerIo is ฿338k (MT), ฿416k (AT), ICE (petrol & maintenance cost) but also a ~ 700 kms range. Not that OP is interested in hwy driving. https://www.suzuki.co.th/model/celerio?psafe_param=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAr4GgBhBFEiwAgwORrTDMCojnOYQwU3cZG6lmxb5hzVJphnxFUZj01TRQpMIvV6CQ9A_CqRoCabQQAvD_BwE

Yea 0339 hrs & I'm bored. I think these numbers are correct

Only a few cm difference in dimensions, Neta being shortest. Not sure how small you want to go, assuming the wee ones will be growing 5-10 yrs, and keeping the car that long. Unless budget restricted.

Yes, was taking it/niacin for a while. Not a good mix with Thai sunshine, as Vit D helps with the absorption. Would take the niacin, and not much problem in the house. Then when taking dog for morning walk at park, the skin flashes would occur. Rather annoying, and can lessen it, when it happens, with lots of water intake.

I'm a MG fan & owner (ZS), one of their SUVs, but don't let that fool you, as it's a bit shorter than EP. MGs come with wall charger (installed free), and emergency/granny charge (which I use mainly). If you keep charging only 20% per day or so, it's quick enough. Of course if needing to charge a bit more, 50% or more, it can take awhile, depending which you choose ... ???? https://aseannow.com/topic/1276247-ev-owners-…-real-life-experience-help-thread/page/5/#comment-17927219

"unsafe" ... ???? The outlets were there, to be used by people, for whatever reason, before. That they weren't used before is irrelevant. If they added a new gym or pool, would you be crying, whether you use it or not. If you did, should the rest of the owners who don't, foot the bill ?

As with everything, depends where you shop. BumCrap .... skin cancer peeky, ฿1000, and ... ... "you have 3 growths that I can take off" "OK, sounds good, take 'em off" ... "not now, make an appointment" "Say what ... you do know I'm from Udon Thani, and there's not 1 person in the waiting room"???? Udon Thani, and and all 3 liquid nitro'd for ฿300 ... all in. Returned same doc, (UT) couple years later, for a peek ... ... "don't see nothing, all clear" "Good, how much?" ... "NO charge, I not do anything" ????

indeed it was .... <deleted> And people wonder why he & family are distancing themselves from that family. Kind of vindicates all he has said about them. Charles really has no character what so ever. Cheating on his wife with supposedly one of his best buds. No wonder most have lost support for the family, as the posted poll shows. "The couple renovated the 10-bedroom property in 2018, after it was gifted to them by the Queen following their wedding, at a cost of £2.4 million, which was initially paid for using taxpayer money, until Prince Harry repaid the funds in full." https://news.sky.com/story/duke-and-duchess-of-sussex-have-been-requested-to-vacate-frogmore-cottage-spokesperson-says-12823182#:~:text=The cottage%2C which sits within,initially covered by taxpayer money.

I like to add IMHO to my replies that don't have sources or links that verify my statement/opinion. This way they almost don't get deleted for 'unsubstantiated' info being posted ????

Incas & Aztecs _'S of the (USA) Border' maybe, but not present USA native Americans ... just a chief of the tribe/clan. No major silliness or drama. Royals ... self importance to themselves and ignorant subjects ... IMHO

Oh ye of little faith ... Thailand may be the center of the universe. More advanced than any other ... at one time .... though as stated, not exactly evolving as others. https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/575/ Full Disclosure ... it was probably Khmer before annexed by Thailand ... ????
