And to sell petrol, oil, repair & replacement parts, along with constant service; oil changes, turn ups, replace exhaust systems. Maintaining ICE is a huge part of their profit margin. Using a fuel the degrades every part of the vehicle it touches is just good business ... for them.

Just like it says in the post ... "Wife building" ... that's her doing just about all of it. She'd hire a helper for the days she needed. That's actually her putting the roof sheeting on, in the one snap. Did all the welding and everything. Her nephew taught her how to weld when he added the carport and some other things around the house. Excellent builder himself. Roof is some Poly ??? clear plastic stuff. She can look it if need to know the exact material. We're O&A now. The whole thing is screened in, keeps the bugs, squirrels and birds out. She even added a self watering system, since we're O&A a bit for a week or 2 at a time.

An observation from far west side of Ratchaburi, near border, DTAC, NO service at all. Which also means, if you use your phone as a hotspot, as I do quite often, if hotel's wifi sucks, or don't have, then you are without wifi along with phone. If wife didn't have AIS, would be hard to make reservation for tomorrow, as going to check out the other valley about 20ish kms away. A lot more over there anyway.

👍

Can't recommend a hotel at Patong, as don't go there. But, will suggest strongly, that you get one with private parking area. To rely on street parking would be a huge mistake, as there is little to none, considering the amount of vehicles that seem to take up residence (taxis) and what isn't left over.

50+ years of adulthood and following politics have prove me correct. If any facts ever do make the light of day, it's usually a decade or two or three after the BS.

When it comes to politics, I've always found very little comes from actual facts.

No 'go fund me' yet ... 😂

That's what you were told 😂

First quote, my reply is in reference to EV graveyards in CH. the rest ... I never try to explain BS.

They were all 'sold', and unfortunately, most sold to rental companies that went bankrupt. Poor business planning and market analysis. oops Don't think anyone cares (owners that I know) about being virtuous. Better performance, and less cost to 'now' buy, energize (location dependent) and maintain. AND, if keeping till it dies, probably last longer, though yet to be proven. Starting at 429k THB, or even 409k THB for limited time, till stock runs out. Agree with last statement, long ways to go before most don't need the monopoly of fossil fuel for energy. Luckily in TH, both EV & solar is very affordable. On Topic, as always ... nothing new about any ICE. EV now able to be mass produced at very low cost, with battery technology and cost improving almost every month. ICE ... same same, not different EV ... better & better everyday

And Budweiser is/was one of the best selling beers ... nuff said

HEY ... I resemble that ... also stopped at 45/46 mark. Actually never thought I'd make to 30 or 35 😂 Now closer to 70 than 69, Dec coming up soon. Uncommon common sense to me ... Retire ASAP, do what you enjoy, or nothing at all, if makes one happy. UP2U Beats working or even having a mandatory schedule.

Mixed thoughts on that. Not stealing, simply taking back what you give. Against their rules, so not a good thing to do. Not a big fan of the monopoly of many things. I don't export, though did test it out a few times. Even before we got out digital meter, I set the inverter to 'no export'.

Whoa ... for 50k baht mark, it should be a lithium battery. Think you need to shop around a bit more.

Not impossible, but most people don't have what is necessary to easily extinguish a battery/EV fire. EV enthusiast myself, but also use common sense. Don't leave charging some batteries unattended, and or, charge outside.

Agree. I'm as incognito as possible ... BUT ... If you've ever given your data to any agency (govt/private) vendor, bank, hospital, phone company (why everyone asks for ph#) ... any one of those, you can rest assured, anyone & everyone has that info also, already. Don't believe any site or whatever, that tells you differently.

That's the policy at Hua Hin, PKK province.

Daughter is waiting on her TOU meter, (next week) and was told the exact same from PEA/installer via BYD. Definitely something inherently wrong with some people. The few really do screw it up for those that try to color within the lines. Seems to carry over in all aspects of things (thing Imm & agent for TH). I'm obviously not a fan of PEA, but damn, they help you and you screw them.

Atheist also, and even I find that offensive. I don't watch sports, especially the olympics, but I think I would boycott any sponsor of the olympics on principle, if they didn't publicly condemn that silliness. The new woke world of acceptance seem to be filled with hate, from the folks that think they are oppressed and want to be accepted. They really are their own worst enemy.

That's a sad list, all failed politicians, all from states with major problems they can't solve, so let's have them use all their wisdom & experience in the WH ... Josh Shapiro - Think Philadelphia's homelessness, 12th in homicides K&A/zombie land ... Mark Kelly - Arizona, think open borders & top 13 highest crime states in USA ... Gretchen Whitmer - 15 yr member (failed) state House 7 Senate, think Detroit, failed economy, 10th highest crime ... Wes Moore ... unlike the rest, he lacks any experience. Not the most trustworthy person, and even gets a 'controversies' section in his wiki bio

OP asked, I answered, moving on.

Go to Bank of your choice, ask them what they want, then go to immigration and get your certificate of residence. That's probably all they're going to ask you for, that should be everything you need and your passport. No need for an agent to open a bank account. Hua Hin will issue a certificate, 500 baht, you'll need a copy of your lease, landlord's ID, possibly landlord I forget it's been so long.
