No closet space.

 

No real kitchen.

 

No bathtub.

 

I know Pruksa construction pretty well.

 

You guys seem to get triggered every time I call you out on facts.

 

Just state facts and we can have a discussion. Please don't tell me Thailand is cheaper than the west. One guy in the other thread mentioned 10 million for a house in Thailand is not bad. I can't get the same in my own country.

 

Sure you can. If you don't live in London. In Bangkok central district there are also no houses for 10 million baht.

 

 

 

 

That's one opinion, have a nice day.

1 mill 'arrivals' sounds about right, though don't know how many will be 'tourist'.  That's IF there isn't an oops along the way, and very doubtful, as 6 more provinces just made the 'watch list'.

IMHO ... I expect more restrictions or even a lock down again after the new year.

Yes. Exactly. Not cheap considering there aren't even any customers.

 

 

Is this cheap enough for you, at £330 / ฿15,000.

Give them a ring, sure you can move in tomorrow.

No customers, and you know this how ?  Or are people to intelligent to spend that much on a rental.

Proved you wrong, and that was with search parameters of 50-60k.

Surely you can find much cheaper if actually searching.

You can own a nice condo for less than 2 mill, or a really nice one forthe silly price you quote for renting.  Why would you lease an apartment at that silly price ?

And why an apartment.  Condos & single houses w/pools can be leased well below the price you quote.

Don't think you need to be married to 'own' a house.  But who would buy a house, and not want to own the land it sits on.  Again, a fool's folly.  You could only sell to someone as stupid as yourself, and that's a rare breed.

Yes. This is exactly what I'm saying.

 

Prove me wrong.

If I sell my wife's 2Mbht home to a foreigner for 10Mbht will that count?

If they have a friend that stupid, send them my way.  I sell (not even finished yet), and start another project elsewhere.  Maybe surfside instead of a few kms away.

Yes but some rural areas are abysmal when it comes to noise...loudspeakers, locals feeding and keeping 50 unkempt dogs around their property, etc....not everyone lives in an ocean front condo. I live in a quiet moobaan but one a-hole neighbor has to ruin it for all with 3 dogs that snarl and bark all day. Nobody does anything or can do anything. 

That's why you drive around and research an area before signing on the dotted line.  Be there at 6-8 AM, look for speakers, traffic, and repeat at 4-7 pm, and night time 10pm - 2 am to find out where the partiers do their thing.  Weekdays & weekends.

It's not rocket science.

Can own the house, just can't own the land.  A fool's folly, but hey ... plenty out there.

But the folk with money can buy a RR, whom I guess already have a house.....????

Then the certainly would be concerned about Thailand, China, or MGs.

What's different here than home country ?  Store in same place you would when there.

Picky tuna eaters ... eating canned tuna.   Seriously.

Have y'all ever eaten fresh tuna ?  You'll never eat canned again.

Simple solution to simple problem ... start earlier.

Wake up before & catch a nice sunrise, instead of sleeping in till noon since hung over.

Better yet, may want to consider not drinking so much alcohol, as most having addiction with, are the last to realize they have a problem with it.

Simply adjust your body clock to the new serving hours.  Wake up 3 hrs earlier, instead of drinking 3 hours later, and it balances out.

Which is it ... must or urged ...

"The operators of eateries who want to sell alcoholic beverages in Bangkok must meet the Amazing Thailand Safety & Health Administration (SHA) standard, said Pongsakorn Kwanmuang, spokesman of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.

Mr. Pongsakorn said that the communicable disease committee of Bangkok urged eatery operators to improve their premises to meet SHA and close their venues at 9pm as ordered."

And the elephant in the room is....

 

Possibly an apples & oranges comparison since China has 4 times the population of the USA.

Since probably more of the manufacturing of world done there, more energy needed.

Also consider total energy consumption, with China only use 60% more than the USA

for 4X the population and all that manufacturing being done.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/263455/primary-energy-consumption-of-selected-countries/

And RR Ghost starts at ... £255,020  equals ฿11,610,398.57 ... hmm

Can buy a house, w/ solar system, a couple MG EVs, even a couple E-scooters

and still have change left over.

the price  of electricity is going one way ,UP

The price of everything is going up ....  it's called inflation.

... oh wait, not the price of solar systems, drastically dropping every year.

Power from the sun .... I predict will stay fairly steady, until they figure out a way to tax that also.

And how many different model of batteries provide these 3 companies? I am sure many many different models - and for a reason.

They not only provide, they actually make the batteries, if that answers you doubts.  BYD just came out with a new design / 'wave', safer, they are putting in their own vehicles, I think.

Sounds like a good idea. Except how many different battery models will all those cars have?

Looking now at mobile phones and how many different battery models they use gives us a good idea how that will work...

Since 3 companies provide 70% of the EV batteries, matching / swapping bad cells or the whole packs shouldn't be an issue.  Actually more universal and less proprietary than all the parts needed for an ICE engine of different manufacturers.

To the topic headline, sure, why not, as I'll do my due diligence and research the vendor.  If not finding any info / reviews / ratings, then probably give them a pass.  Depends on the product and cost of, if will to chance purchase of.

Usually go with tried & tested vendors, with refund & warranty protection.  So far, so good.

Also have bought & sold via FB, and, so far, so good.????
