EV Owners … Real life experience & help thread
Rare, but occasionally match or beat the NEDC range rating of 403 kms. First leg of daily rounds today, to the park. Giving a range of 497 kms ???? Catching the traffic light on hwy #4, (2X) and another for minimal time, drops the average kph, both to and from park/surfside, as probably about 8 minutes combines of being idle. Continue on from park to surfside & back home. Requiring higher speed due to traffic on the overpass and main roads. Still good for a range of 402.6 kms ???? Just don't expect all the time, or even close to all the time. Combined locally, get about 360 kms per charge, mix highway & in town driving. On the highway, 300-320 seems to be our average, with cruise control set at 90 kph. Sometimes need to go faster for a smoother ride. At end of the day's highway journey, 300-320 kms sticks pretty good, with average speed afterwards 70-80 kph, over 3 ish hours, due to traffic lights & cross traffic. WLTP rating is 320 kms per charge, and you definitely get that local driving, or more as we do.

Did you decide to stay in Thailand forever? Will you stay forever?
Don't stress about the world, one day at a time, as don't want tomorrow to come to soon. Already on borrowed time.

Transgenderism 'a mental health disorder'
Don't agree with mentally ill, but agree, male & female is all the labels, subcategories needed for Homo-sapiens.

Transgenderism 'a mental health disorder'
That would depend where their sexual preferences are. If a birth male, is now a transwomen, but only has sex with males, then he is definitely a homosexual. Simply enjoys living as a woman. That's the part I don't get. Do we need a new 'trans' designations. What was wrong with simply being gay/lesbian or bisexual. Those 3 cover all the alternative lifestyles. No need for trans-anything or cis and non binary BS. Just more of 'look at me', I'm different ... NO you're not. Straight, homosexual or bisexual ... PICK ONE

Elderly woman in Buriram lives alone without basic amenities for 30 years
That doesn't say much for the community. They could have provided her an upgrade in living conditions.

New Toyota Yaris Cross question?
It's a 'Corolla' Cross, which I didn't realize till now. Yaris would definitely be out of the question. And Corolla, also I'd doubt would be comfy, as most nicer taxi in Krung Thep are Corollas and personally think they're crap. If same interior specs, I'd give the Cross a pass. They really do look nice on the highway though, as I see a lot when out and about. Does explain why they are inexpensive, since based on Corolla platform. Might want to take a peek at the MG ZS ICE or EV version, as more than enough headroom. Not sure about legroom though, as I'm 175cm, and plenty for me. Owned/own both, and happy with both, having EV (1 yr) now after 2 yrs owning the ICE version.

World breaches key 1.5C warming mark for record number of days
Yet another silly, irrelevant, we want more of your money to save you from nothing, news-blip. Long live GW, as it's been beautiful here. Overcast, low temps, and even needing to top up the EV more often, as not enough sun for house & EVs every day. Top up now as it dips below 90% instead of 70s or 80%, as it won't finish.

Tourism fee fund to be fast-tracked after payouts to families in the Siam Paragon mass shooting
And Thailand did, what's your point?
-
Tourism fee fund to be fast-tracked after payouts to families in the Siam Paragon mass shooting
I believe the original thought/purpose was to pay the hospital bill for irresponsible people getting hurt or sick here without insurance or funds to cover their bills. As usual, the majority have to pay for the few irresponsible folks with no common sense. It certainly shouldn't fall on the Thai tax payer to pay foreigner's bills. Certainly getting murdered while shopping at the mall was in that realm of thinking.

Srettha says Thai air force ready to evacuate Thais in Israel
Good, get it done, and ban any future people from going to conflict zones, without signing a waiver, stating 'you're on your own', if that stupid.

Whats the Protocol if denied entry.
It's the ones who 'visit' 10-11-12 months of the year. So fairly obvious they live here, and either can't meet the financials for long term visa, or don't want to pay taxes/and or, taking a job away from a Thai. Of course, that is why they have the Imm rules. Pretty easy for an IO to spot the scammers.

Chiang Mai Zoo
I regret visiting a couple animal prisons/zoos here with the wee one. They are really in a sad state. Been to San Diego Zoo, and as 'nice' as it is, it's still a prison, and not a natural environment. I'm really anti any animal enclosures, of any type for any reason. Leave them in the wild. If want to see, go to them.

Ex-Thai PM Yingluck Condemns Violence in the Middle East
Seems appropriate since Thais got caught in the 'crossfire' of this silly violence. Although, who really cares what she thinks. Violence is violence, and should never happen. Why people even go to or care about this region (I know/$$$), is beyond me. Let them kill each other and return to mid-evil times if they want. As much as I blame Israel for instigating the problem, the Palestinian response isn't winning them any favors. Two wrongs never make it right. Need to have a ceasefire so all nations can withdraw their citizens from the area. Then they can kill each other if the want, and be done with it.

Worst Joke Ever 2026
- What do you think is the biggest threat to humanity/civilization?
Ignorance Puppeteers Arrogance WEF Davos Bilderburg Central Banking UN Religion Govts Politicians the Fed MSM- Being a loner in retirement
I've never had a problem being a 'loner' and actually prefer it. Even when in a relationship, I really don't socialize much with others. Men seem to want to talk about their sexual conquest, drinking, cars/MCs, sports, all of which I have no interest in. Women much more interesting, though prefer 1 on 1 conversations, and usually avoid social gathering.- Humorous Signs, Pics, Vids etc (2023)

- How many solar panels?
Curious, does that include them setting up buy back plan for your excess to them. If so, did they state how much they pay you per kWh? Guessing they are not hybrid inverters & no batteries involved. When you state maintenance (virtual none needed), does that mean a life long warranty ?- Worst Joke Ever 2026
- To Marry or NOT
I would try to liquidate as much as possible now, and move you and GF to someplace you may actually enjoy living. A condo would be best. Marry ... NO - What do you think is the biggest threat to humanity/civilization?
