Thanks ... ... they're squaring off. At this point, seems either one could have walked away, they chose to continue. Oh well, 1 wins, 1 loses

Someone is making good money, because the EVs registered last month, between the MG EP & ZS aren't inexpensive (except Leaf).

Think I would have just ordered the real ones from Xiaomi, low end to high end price, with a few versions in between. Couldn't find the airdots on their site.

Stay away from congested areas of people where mozzies are about.

Disagree ... ... daughter got offered, and turned down 28k before she even graduated. Marketing degree, and started own online shop. Did return and take the position, for 30k a month, as she found she had too much time on her hands. Plenty of jobs, for those looking. Covid is the great 'excuse', not the 'reason' to be unemployment. During Uni, she was one of only a few, who met the Uni's requirement to intern during last year, 2-4 weeks as part of the grade assessment. Since covid, they didn't enforce the requirement, and most after a day of looking, gave up. Daughter found 3 to chose from, all wanting her, and took the one she actually wanted to work for. She interned for 6 months ... talk about taking advantage of your unpaid interns. But it paid off for her, with a job offer before graduating. Others didn't bother, didn't search after, so didn't find work after graduating. Those that look, usually find. Apply yourself, and you get results. Her online shop generated 118k last month, 40% of that profit, and put back in to the business. Salary is base at 30k, w/OT, up to 48k a month. 2 years out of Uni, and she just closed on a 3m baht new townhouse as an investment, and still live in her rental condo. Her boyfriend just graduated, engineering, and he's holding out for about 50k a month job. Been offered a few for 30-40k range, but knows he's worth more. Lots of excuses, but no reasons for Uni grads not to be working, unless they simply didn't research prior and picked the wrong career path.

You might want to specify what actual vehicle you are interested in buying, so others can assist in your search. "small, cheaper models which will make up the vast majority of sales" ... ... means which ones ? MG ZS/EP GWM OGC All have safety info available, being the 3 smaller, cheaper models most are buying. Or do you mean the < 600k baht vehicles available: Wuling POCCO iMio Takano Fomm 1

The small local lake here at the park, I visit almost daily has breached 2X this year. Early on and this past wave of heavy rains. That's my local rain meter. In March, early April, it will be 1-2 meter down from full up, before the rains. Only the 2nd year out of 6 here, that it breached. Tells me everything I need to know locally.

What's average ? You also can't judge by govt stats of medium income. Through the top 1-5-20% earnings in with the bottom 50% earners skews any results. Just like everywhere, minimum wage jobs and not careers, and should be stepping stones to bettering your financial position in the future. Flipping burgers or cashier at 7-11 aren't career moves unless going into management of. People's incomes are what the make of themselves.

High time people woke up to the oppressive regime and bullying politics of the USA. Winning hearts the world over ... ????

September registrations:

Yes, glad they are making great headway every year in controlling it .... .... in the headlines anyway, as it seem to be getting worse & worse every year.

They look & sound pretty cool, though my opinion of them has changed over the years, to unnecessarily loud & annoying ???? I couldn't own one, or enjoy riding them. Borrowed a buddy's (1200, unbaffled) for the day way back when, and the noise would be just too annoying to ride all day, even though behind me. It was refreshing to get back on my Honda 900, quiet and smooth ride, and upgraded performance. They really are overpriced show pieces, and now, USA, quieted down to Honda level. Same buddy bought a new full dresser, and when started, he joked "W T F, you put a HD emblem on Honda", and for him, it took the joy out of riding.

Best of luck dealing with it. No way could I live up there, or Hua Hin or above. 16 yrs in Udon Thani was bad enough, with some horrid pollution. It's already started this year, and too damn early. Here hitting AQI of 80. Breaking 100 already in parts of TH. My only true negatives of TH, air pollution, and litter, though the latter not too bad where we are.

anyone got a link for the original, start to finish, as hate to come in on the middle of a conversation. Remember a Hua Hin incident, where all were negative about Thais during a punch up, but when whole vid was played, then obviously the farang tourists started it, the Thais simply finished it.

Just a thrifty shopper. Vendor I used, sells TS & Gr Crack for ฿1400/100gr(฿14/gr) Just received 50g of 'red string' ? for ฿400/฿8gr, and sell 100g for ฿600, but I have too much already that I'll never be able to smoke in a few years. Just wanted to try since very good review, and 1/2 gr did the trip. Quite nice, and all 3 (RS / TS / GC) about the same. Red string being compressed about the only difference. Don't see the point of paying 5-10-20 times the amount for manicured buds of the same plant. It's a joint, not a beer, spirit or liquor, so not much difference in the smoking of. Not like it's a menthol cig vs regular.

... On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine ... "The overall number of estimated deaths in the War in Donbas, which started on 6 April 2014, was 14,200–14,400 through 31 December 2021, including non-combat military deaths. Most of the deaths took place in the first two years of the war between 2014 and 2015, when major combat took place before the Minsk agreements." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War#:~:text=The overall number of estimated,place before the Minsk agreements. Did Ukraine bomb the Donbas? "Radio Liberty also concluded that "Despite Denials, All Evidence For Deadly Explosion Points To Kyiv". CNN said that it was the first time that civilians had been killed in an attack by the Ukrainian air force during the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in the Donbas." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Donbas_(2014–2022)

Easily smog protection, as I see it's starting even earlier this year. Usually mid Nov, now mid/late Oct ... ???? ???? Lot of 70-80-90s, with a couple breaking 100 AQI

Good, maybe they'll stay away, as playing tourist during covid was great ????

My lease stated 2 months advance notice, and think we gave the landlord about a weeks notice, if that. And yes, we got our whole deposit back. Wasn't a surprise, as he knew we were building. With queries such as this, you really have to wonder how some folks function at all in life.

I'm guessing most people, including Thais, couldn't find UA on a map, let alone care about what is going on over there. I certainly don't. With that, most probably couldn't even find TH on a map, do you think anyone cares or even knows they abstained.

That's 1 opinion ... You may want to enlighten yourself: https://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/the-free-thai-movement-and-the-soe/ Have a nice day

Same with idiots paying cash... ... Come to register ... have to search for member card, after in line waiting ... Done ringing everything up, now have to find and take money out of wallet/purse. Oh wait, I have 25 satang in the bottom of my purse somewhere ... hold on I check out of Makro, try to have all price bars facing up, and if in express lane, card out before person in front of me is done, then it's scan scan scan ding ding ding ... cash in hand already and I'm gone. Anything else is simply rude & inconsiderate. People got better thing to do, than wait for me acting like an idiot. Only been there about 1000 times, does it really take longer to figure out the process.

They had little choice, join or die. Along with their, TH's resistance that fought them, and gave great intel to the Allied force to help end the war. Don't judge another, till you walked in their shoes ???? Ignorance is Bliss ... for some

It's a USA-UK-NATO-EU vs RU conflict and been going on since end of WW2. Nothing has changed, and nothing will.
