Rate Charging Suppliers based on ease of use?
PTT has more 'killing time' and food options, if needing. Bangchak's/PEA have the Inthanon coffee shop, OK, and some have small market (Big C). I see the new larger ones/Bangchak, will go head to head with PTT Parks. One thing to note, if haven't already, PTT EVStation Pluz machines reset at 55 mins after the hour, and charging will stop. Reservations, if making, (not necessary to use) are for 'on the hour' with a 10 minute window, (I think) before expiring. Fee 40 baht. Drive in without is fine, and best close to top of hour is best, if needing, wanting a bit more than 50%. 30-90% goes in fast enough, that last 10% take some time, so we rarely wait around much beyond 80-85%, unless doing something on the laptop. On a long leg, it's a lot faster if you stop 2X, and top up to 80-90% rather than up to 100%. That extra 10% could take 20 min. or so.

Shooting in center of Bangkok posts risks to Thailand governmental stability, tourism, and economy
1 shooting makes international news ... and now it's an issue that needs discussing. Good thing the other 2800 homicides by firearms didn't make the news ???? https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-deaths-by-country

Moving Back To USA Stories
Do you think anyone moving back to the USA will be on AN, to follow the happenings in Thailand, of SEA. Don't think you'll be getting too many replies. I certainly wouldn't, same as I don't follow any forums about the USA after leaving. How bored do you have to be to do that?

School Appeals for Compassion and Privacy for Siam Paragon Mall Shooter
He thought out & executed a mass shooting, with 3 dead (?), and a few injured. That's a bit too much of conscious planning & thinking to me. Not some tart mimicking a video game because he doesn't know right from wrong. No compassion from me, though I can think of a compassionate way to avoid this idiot from doing it again, but that would be against forum rules to suggest.

Solar Recommendation for Blackouts
Not sure if he saw the replies or not. Wish we could tell who likes a reply, as would have answered that question. Notice some folks don't know how to search their profile for previous posts, and simply start a new thread.

Siam Paragon Shooter’s Home Searched: Large Cache of Weapons and Ammunition Uncovered
At least 2 houses, so unless staying with another relative, they have a bit more than most. "Their son typically resided in another home in the Sathorn district" And on the gun issue ... more than a few here in TH, according to Wiki. 6M+ registered 4M+ unregistered (?) Making it into the top 50 or 230 countries/territories for firearms per capita (15 per 100ppl): source You'd be surprised how easy it is to get one here/TH (unregistered), and I speak from experience.

Hua Hin spotlighted by Forbes as top destination for the over-60s
Make no mistake, the air is bad. You won't notice in town, but you also won't see the hills to the west for about 4-6 months, when AQI #s are 75-150. That's just the visual downside, which means along with that, the PM2.5 will be 2 to 10 X healthy levels, which you can't see.

Be prepared for a wee bit a sticker shock with hotels. They are really getting silly priced of late, and it's not even high season.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2023)
MI quality was ok, on my 65", and wish I could say the same about the movie. First hour was a total waste, some vain attempt to be a comedy, along with a silly car chase scene. Second half a bit better. I can understand why Cruise said this & next will be his last MI ... as they are going downhill fast. Maybe he'll make part 2 interesting, with everyone getting bumped off. Enjoyed the E3 more, though slow paced. OK time killer, though I've given up expecting any thing new, exciting, thought provoking from any movie makers.

Solar Recommendation for Blackouts
So you're not wanting solar for cost savings, as your bill really isn't much. Installed system is going to start around 150k-200k. What's your age, as ROI will take probably at least that many months, 150-200, if saving 1000 baht a month. My installer has done solar systems on Samui, and based in Hua Hin, but travels far and wide. Whether he wants to return to Samui to do a system now, is a question mark, as quite busy. Along with, if an oops, it may be a while before he gets there to service the system. https://solarsolutionltd.com/ Since all you need is to keep your computer, frig & fan on, have you considered one of the solar generators, basically a big UPS/power station/bank, and you could charge with couple solar panels or charge up overnight on the grid, for those long outages. Although they are not cheap either, in TH. Something like this, 3500 cycles & LFP chemistry, providing 2200w inverter. This may even be what your using already: Available at (cheaper than USA pricing): LAZ Shopee Think I would consider buying one myself, if my car didn't already have V2L ... ????

Does 'fruit' need to be added to describe a wine, as all wines are made from fruit. Unless simply meaning. not from grapes.

It's a one time entry of CC info on the app. Then they simply bill the CC every time you charge.

EV Charging Stations (CS)
Another CS vendor to consider, Altervim @ Lotus's. Seems like a good place to kill time, at Lotus's mall (KFC, Swensen's) ???? May give a test run today, since Swensen's Tues, 2 for 1, though I think the car is @ 100% now. I registered, without any request of ID #, and payment via app via CC, which I have NOT entered the wife's CC # yet. Wife's CC was used with my Elex app CS, and worked fine Could not find app of GPlay on laptop, but did find on phone ... hmm Dual authorize code sent to phone & email provided ???? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.altervim.econnect&fbclid=IwAR13am_5oC0wb6iu_B5NReAcVNhg7rkB5Ni9hokDAyvphqwmTIhY_x0aFhw

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2023)
I was a little disappointed, maybe expected too much. After the one scene, the rest was a bit predictable, and done so many times. I enjoyed '57 Seconds' more, as much faster pace to it, and a different spin, again, on something that's been done, more than a few times. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18083578/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_57%20

The difficulty of avoiding sugar in Thailand.
For those interested in Keto-ish diet, or if going hard core, here's a link to what is considered Keto approved, by a popular Keto Guru ???? https://www.drberg.com/ketosis-approved-foods Actually interesting, and way more of a selection than I thought. And NO, not giving up my carbs; pizza, pasta, taters, bread or pastries. Maybe some more moderation, as I can easily eat half a loaf of bread, in a day, when out of the oven (435 of 870gr loaf). Scale that back to <200 gr. even though I don't add sugar to my bread, that's still a high carb count for 1 item. And the dog doesn't help that much. Made of list of things I actually eat, or may (couple item, not yet), along with being available here. Let off some things, as don't need any reminder (ex: whole milk): One thing I notice about those pushing the Keto diet, the admit, due to lack of some carbs, you don't get full day's worth of nutritional vitamins and or essential minerals. AND ... always a link for you to buy a supplement ... how convenient ????
