How far can you go ? For our MG ZS (50.3kWh; ... NEDC rating is 403 kms, have only exceeded that twice, I think ... WLTP rating is 320 kms, and we exceed that consistently, and usually get what the car predicts in 'eco' mode, or more, which is 360 kms per charge, and 342 is driving in 'normal' mode, which we don't. Here's another vid for MG4, and range achieved, exceeding WLTP's rating @ 80 kph +/- and he was driving in 'normal' vs 'eco' mode. Summary at 24:45 of vid

They joking right ... ... with the Poseidon Entertainment Complex right around the corner ????

Definitely agree with that, as my one & only EU holiday was damn expensive, even though a guesthouse, but primo location. Was totally ignorant of the other options, hostels & such, as again. all I needed was a bed, since out doing the museums all day. Hopefully today, they're not as ignorant as I was back then, about 25 yrs ago, and no real internet to enlighten me.

Technically, yes, but I don't think they care, as a bit nit pickng, iMO, and apparently theirs. Actually was probably done at Nong Khai, as don't think UT had an IO then. If familiar with that office, Mr Happy actually liked me, and I liked him doing my ext, where others dreaded getting him, as he'd pick your financials apart, or so reported on local forum. Of course, depends on IO. Again, why one should ask. YMMV You see to keep missing that part of my reply.

Hence why suggested to ask at local IO, and if willing to do, make sure to sit in front of that person when doing ... ????

@Yodarapper How often do you have to charge? ... obviously that's not going to be the same for everyone, depending on usage and driving habits. Myself & wife retired, and markets within 5 kms of house, so our mandatory driving is very little. Could actually get away with once every 2 weeks, though boring. My usual is 12-15 kms a day, as the dog takes me to the park for my morning walk, then we cruise by surfside, to make sure it's still there. That's a 12 kms round trip. Makro & market is actually on the way, so 15 at most daily. With the EV (car) , one should get about 225 kms, with a 25-30% battery reserve, just knocking around town or even on the highway. That's what we get with MG ZS. If using car everyday for our daily runs, that would require charging up about ever 2 weeks, if taking it down to 25-30%. Using the Wall Charger @ 7.4kWh, overnight, and you'd be topped up with no problems, and ready to go the next day if needed. If one does about 30 kms a day, you'd be topping back up about once a week +/-, if keeping a very battery healthy reserve of about 30% or more. I usually charge up, at 75-80% and back to 100%, so usually once a week is needed. That takes all day since using the granny charger @ 2.3kWh. We, dog & myself, actually use the E-MB for our morning runs. Of late, using the car, as getting a new road, and it's dusty as all hell. We explore locally a bit, or we really wouldn't need to top up but once a month. Everything being so close to house, we really don't need to drive much at all. If not for O&A (out & abouts), we wouldn't put many kms on the clock. 2 yrs with the MG ZS ICE, we only put on 39k kms, and way more than half, were O&A overnight, weekly, monthly exploring.

I would ask at your local IO, without informing them of the pending divorce. I've changed 'mid extension' BUT was at the IOs that I mentioned; UT & HH. If said extension has financial requirements, they need to be in place beforehand.

Title of that vid tells me I don't need to watch ... Muslims ????

I've changed when divorced, to support of Thai child, and not on same day or even close to it. I've also changed between support to retirement to marriage to retirement again, simply doing the extension at 'years' end of. Simply changing reason for long stay, from marriage to retirement on TM7. They've never question when (divorce/support) at Udon Thani, or retirement/marriage/retirement, both at Udon Thani & Hua Hin. YMMV

Why isolated, do you think they never venture outside the resort or few tours they take. That vs the millions who don't leave soi 4/bkk, soi 6/patts, bangla rd/phuket. Generalizations using misrepresent, and simply show prejudice. As I don't know any Yanks that fit your description.

Our hotel room budget used to be ฿1000+/-, though usually don't do weekends. We don't spend much time at the hotel, except nighttime, so only real requirement is a comfy bed. Pools a nice plus, IF, we are going to use, but usually don't have or use much. Recent price increases of late, and sure our room budget will be going the ฿1500 +/- range. Last few ranged from ฿800-2000, and actually were equally comfortable, just the view & market was different. Chumphon ฿800, setting was riverside https://www.google.com/travel/hotels/entity/CgoIipaB8qu1jMILEAE/photos?g2lb=2502548%2C2503771%2C2503781%2C4258168%2C4270442%2C4284970%2C4291517%2C4306835%2C4429192%2C4515404%2C4597339%2C4723331%2C4731329%2C4757164%2C4778035%2C4814050%2C4821091%2C4861688%2C4864715%2C4874190%2C4886082%2C4886480%2C4893075%2C4902277%2C4905351%2C4906019%2C4918081%2C4926165%2C4926489%2C4928499%2C4930751%2C4930753%2C4931360%2C4936396%2C4937897&hl=en-TH&gl=th&ssta=1&rp=EIqWgfKrtYzCCxCKloHyq7WMwgs4AkAASAHAAQI&ictx=1&sa=X&utm_campaign=sharing&utm_medium=link&utm_source=htls&ved=0CAAQ5JsGahcKEwio-tjp6v_8AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQCw&ts=CAESABogCgIaABIaEhQKBwjnDxACGBQSBwjnDxACGBUYATICEAAqCQoFOgNUSEIaAA Kanchanaburi ฿2000, setting hillside https://www.google.com/travel/hotels/entity/CgoI49K_v6K6la5TEAE/photos?g2lb=2502548%2C2503771%2C2503781%2C4258168%2C4270442%2C4284970%2C4291517%2C4306835%2C4429192%2C4515404%2C4597339%2C4723331%2C4731329%2C4757164%2C4778035%2C4814050%2C4821091%2C4861688%2C4864715%2C4874190%2C4886082%2C4886480%2C4893075%2C4902277%2C4905351%2C4906019%2C4918081%2C4926165%2C4926489%2C4928499%2C4930751%2C4930753%2C4931360%2C4936396%2C4937897&hl=en-TH&gl=th&ssta=1&rp=EOPSv7-iupWuUzgCQABIAcABAg&ictx=1&sa=X&utm_campaign=sharing&utm_medium=link&utm_source=htls&ved=0CAAQ5JsGahcKEwjo1byh7f_8AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQDA&ts=CAESABogCgIaABIaEhQKBwjnDxACGBQSBwjnDxACGBUYATICEAAqBAoAGgA

To the title of thread ... don't need any more rules, as they are strict already, simply not followed.

Just because some folks don't tip, myself included, usually, doesn't mean, they, me, don't give to others, possibly to the more needing than those already working and living, OK. At least they are with food & roof over their heads. Though TBH, my charity days have wound down to about -0- since years past. Any extra is now going to family, which in some aspects, relative speaking, is quite a bit of charity already.

Far from it, per capita, per wiki:

Depends on the make of course, if at home, one could always consult the owners manual. Possibly for the first time ... ???? For OP & others, now you know one option before calling for assistance, which they may or may not be able to offer. https://goodhomeautomation.com/why-wont-my-tv-turn-on/#:~:text=If your TV won't,plug your TV back in. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062957/#:~:text=With the TV turned on,your TV should be fine.

Yes & no. If you can't control your vices, or manage your finances, it doesn't matter what you vice is or not. The result will be the same. Has nothing to do with the weed, but the person. I smoked a lot of weed, from 15-45 yrs old, and still functioned quite successfully, and retired at 46. I know people who didn't smoke or drink, and still struggled, retiring at 65/66 with a pittance of fixed income for their remaining years.

You're assuming yours is the only tip of the day. If they clean 10 rooms, X50, they've probably more than doubled their income for the day X23 days, and X2 their monthly income.

or the advantage, joy of.

Here's one on the river, VN GuestHouse, basic/budget, and has decent restaurant & veranda at, besides sitting riverside outside your room. Have a few 'floating rooms', and did NOT stay in, but riverfront room gave you the same view, depending which room. Was actually my 'go to' since a CC at the time, and comfy enough, along with close enough to some food vendors. But basic accommodations, and haven't stayed there for quite some time, though doubt if anything changed, hopefully. https://www.google.com/maps/place/VN+Guesthouse/@14.029827,99.522657,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipM3T9nBndzC60YQb1od_WUYhRAuJxYz0rw48xwG!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipM3T9nBndzC60YQb1od_WUYhRAuJxYz0rw48xwG%3Dw203-h152-k-no!7i5120!8i3840!4m9!3m8!1s0x30e374ea9f03e1b9:0x35347d17aa39778!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d14.029827!4d99.522657!16s%2Fg%2F1td10qdt

@Yodarapper but in Europe everyone says not enough infrastructure yet - guess here it’s worse? ... actually here is much better, as few EV per CS (charging station) ratio, and never a problem when on the road. I don't do weekends, so can't comment if busy at CS. You can reserve your time, so planning should eliminate any Q'ing up. how do you charge it at home? ... just plug in to house current, using the granny/emergency charger provided with EV. Charges @ 2.3 kWh The house is Solar. We also have the MG free, provided & installed Wall Charger (@7.4kwh), But on the grid, and I'm too much of a CC, spiteful basstard to give PEA any baht of mine. How often do you have to charge? ... depends, if on a local O&A (out & about) as 2 days ago, then the next day, and it took all day on the granny charger. Today, I actually charged after using, from 100% to 95%, just a local park/dog run. Topped it back up when I got home, which is rare for me. Usually charge once a week, and that usually about 20-25% top up. what if you go on a road trip? ... have done 3 road trips, that required overnight and use of CSs, and no prob: https://aseannow.com/topic/1276247-ev-owners-…-real-life-experience-help-thread/page/4/#comment-17756935 is it harder to sell in the future? ... that's a big question mark, and unknown, since they haven't been around long enough in TH. BUT, if we keep at least till warranty on battery is up, 8 yrs, how much is any 1 mill baht car worth 8 yrs old / 180k kms on the clock ? Plus about the EV, it has a 50.3kWh battery pack, so at worse, if the car can't keep up with the battery pack & electric motors, we have a 50kWh battery pack to add to the solar system ???? Try buying that in today's market and you end up spending about 500k baht. Don't think a 8yr old/180k ICE will give you that return. Another plus about buying now, our EV cost 949k baht, and is now insured for 960k baht, if totaled, thanks to govt incentive. Actually appreciated driving off the lot. I'm a big fan of EV, if haven't noticed, and would never get an ICE again. Matter of fact, having the EV for a few months, I starting to realize how silly the ICE/big oil companies control of the auto industry & electric utilities is such a joke and amazed it has continued, their control of, for so long. Damn embarrassing really IMHO.

I'll await the shower stalls to be added at the mall & PTT stations ????

I don't usually do the tourist ghettos, tip happy staff areas, so rarely tip, and only when deserved, which is rare. Actually leave most paying up to the wife, who does what Thais do, don't tip, or just small tip. Nothing like a Yank 20% tip, which I had a problem breaking that habit when I first got here.

Yes, I saw that/wiki, and tpb will have complete 4 or 5 seasons. One I downloaded was 4 seasons, complete. And yes, S01 was a head scratcher, and actually didn't realize they were 'short' seasons, one story line ending, then 2nd starting. So I then opened the folders, saw 'my' season 2 (or 3 depending how you want to number them), was 2 files ... say what ???? A good thing, no mucking around, and quite enjoyed all 4 or 5 seasons.

Your first ... really ???? They are usually quite good, 99% of the time. Have to disagree with lopburi, as they let it ring a bit, and I'll usually not answer if wife near me. let her answer. If outside, they'll call back, she'll answer or she'll call them. Always call to make sure we're there, then call on arrival, as time is money. If I know they are out front, I won't answer, saves them the call charge. Most are COD, so they always try to deliver also. Some will say 'on their way' when calling 1st time, though their version of 'on the way' and mine is different, 30 mins vs 5 mins. When by myself, I'll answer, they start talking, wait for a pause, then I say "you ban krup" / I'm home, usually reply 'ok" ... if not, then I send ph# to wife and she calls back ???? Delivery service with all companies has gone from iffy, to excellent the last few year. There networks are well established now.
