You apparently missed a few posts of mind. As my dining out budget in the USA, would surpass most peoples annual income. I don't mind springing for quality food, in nice restaurant, with good ambiance. I just don't find them here/TH. Or any to our liking, so we cook at home, and better than most restaurants that I've dined in here/TH. Think and assume what you want, but as usual, you are again, mistaken. Nice try though, HAVE A NICE DAY, EVENING.

Gave them all a reprieve, (7 or 8 pages worth), though slowly filling up my first page, as the chime in with their silly arguments or prejudice. If I haven't responded to you ... yea, that's why.

No, and why would I waste that kind of silly money, on any meal, and probably leave unsatisfied or hungry. If you like 'trash talk TV' then you may enjoy supporting his venture. Put him in with Jerry Springer, Morton Downey Jr. & Howard Stern (radio). Simply insults to people's intelligence.

While O&A, on way back home through Chumphon: Ao Nang surf on a so so day: If in the neighborhood (Trang) worth popping in for your morning stroll (3km)

Don't have any problem, as I just know BS when I see or smell it. Celebrity anything ... sorry, I don't go ga ga over name dropping. If he can make a bunch of money, in a new market, using his name, good for him. One born every day ... not this lad. If I want beef, I have nice steak. If I want fish & chips, it wont be made with some flavorless cod. And who the hell, over 10 yrs old, orders mac & cheese in restaurant. And these are his 'specialties' ????

And hopefully not fail, like many of his business interests have. Seems showing up is a 'Kiss of Death' for restaurants: And you can't blame it on the pandemic:

Anyone can cook, and I'm as good or better than him. Saw vids of him cooking ???? A total fails, and he ignored the obvious, and actually posted it. Must have been a live broadcast or something. Then saw a tik tok of makng some silly A$$ burger, that is literally impossible to eat. Just for clicks I guess. I don't put much stock in 'michelin' ratings.

And ... your point. Our 2020 ICE version, mid level (of 3 offered at the time) was 695k baht, and actually the entry level's price, so nice 40k baht off sale. Out 2022 ZS EV was 949k, so 254k baht more. Less than 5 yrs of petrol savings, and we'll recoup that, if we keep putting 20k kms a year on it, and petrol stays the same price. We charge mostly with excess solar, unless O&A.

Out for a Friday afternoon drive, OK, an O&A, as basically all they are. Only 7 days, as dropped the idea of visiting the bottom southern provinces. Just can't really find anything of interest that motivates me to go that small bit further south. Less than 1900 kms in 7 days. First day is always a killer, and a 6+ hour day. Not much we haven't seen between home & Surat Thani. Rest of driving is quite leisurely. No issue with CS, and more than enough. Left home w/100% and returned w/20% battery, so used solar for a good 500 of those 1900 kms.

I you think so, though personally, I'd spring for the extra 130k baht and get the Neta V, if just knocking around town. Get that extra buy in cost back on petrol savings alone. Choices. Nobody forcing anyone to buy either.

Probably not, at the time, as was quite happy with our ICE version of same, MG ZS. Hindsight, now owning ... hell yea, even though against my religion to pay more than 1M baht for 4 wheeled transport. It's a pleasure to drive, and no longer ignorant, as in 2020, the savings over the life of the car, will literally pay for itself, and so much more. So glad we waited though, as upgraded battery pack & 240k off, lowering the cost to 949k is just icing on the cake. Having solar is a great motivator also. Have too much excess solar, not to have an EV. How do you turn down, saving at least 50k baht on your transport cost?

Apparently it sucks living in the UK if wanting an EV ????

I think they are just trying to get people to take a peek at them. Get past the ignorance so many posters on AN display. Brilliant marketing if you ask me, and giving us 240k baht to buy one ... ... what's not to like about that ????

Why do people still post the same repetitive false narrative. New (LFP) batteries won't need replacing for 20+ years, if ever:

I don't think they make one that crappy, or one anyone would buy. If you want to drive sh!t, then buy sh!t. You do get what you pay for some times. EVs in TH are no more expensive than Japanese imports. Entry level ICEVs, made in TH ... owned a few, never again ... ... nuff said

Hmm ... and yet, I get a whole tenderloin (frozen) from Makro, when available and looking good, for 800-1000 baht a kg. Cut about 6 nice 'hockey puck' steaks from it, and have the ends to toy with as I please. Why would I do anything with a tenderloin besides eat as a steak. Save slow cooking for lesser quality cuts of meat. Wrap a good steak in pastry ???? Save that silliness for a meat pie or sausage roll, as I want to taste the steak. I've had BW ... not impressed, unless you just like looking at your food and snapping a photo. Going out to a restaurant and ordering overpriced Mac & cheese ... Holy Buddha. I order things I can't or won't make at home. What idiot can't whip up Mac & cheese at home, to their liking. I myself like ham & tomatoes added to Mac & cheese.

???? ????

If his restaurants are anything like is cooking on YT or TikTok ... I'll pass. He's such a poor cook, I can't even watch him. Calling him a chef is an insult to 'chefs'.

I don't trust anything I don't personally see. Wife & myself can photoshop anything, and we don't even have good software.

Either has worked fine for me, here/TH or the USA. Seems I enjoy being attached, since in a relationship more than not. Really enjoyed my single time also. If not happy, I move along quite fast to the next one/relationship. Not a patient person with people. Too many others out there will help you be happy, instead of enjoying seeing you unhappy.

Use that when I realize G is not allowing or burying info that I know is available. There's always choice, and failing to exercise those, well, that's a personal issue for many. You can't fix stupid

Google simply provides apps which you may or may not choose to use. Ones I use, make my world easier to navigate, research and save money. Even provides a bit of entertainment at times. Choose wisely, be happy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_products

As soon as someone mentions that fact-checkers are on the case, I tend to believe the report is false.

Don't know about y'all's world, but in my world, EVs are no more expensive than ICEVs. And usually get more bang for your baht with the EV. If not in TH, then it's your govts tariffs that are making them overpriced. Same with their control of electric production. Cost of solar systems also being controlled by govt/energy companies. Buddha forbid they not have their windfall profits. MSM media ensuring you stay as ignorant as always ... ????
