Those that stay in school, apply themselves, don't wait for hands out, are not poor. Same same, not different, every country, aside from those war torn, and starting over. Only thing I expect from a govt is basic education, healthcare and infrastructure. All provided here/TH. The rest is on you, and your responsibility.

As noted by others, he isn't stepping down, as hasn't stepped up yet. No sense in fighting a fight you know you can't win.

Not that much older. I always play the long game, especially since wife is 22 yrs younger than me. Enjoy the extra comfort & savings now, and she'll enjoy decades after I'm long gone...hopefully not too soon.

As always, buy what you want/comfort level, with what you can afford. Live within ones means. Celerio definitely wouldn't work for us, NO THANKS Price difference of EV vs ICE MG ZS is about ฿200k. IF driving 20k kms a year, like we do, that ROI is realized in < 5 yrs, after that, it's free transport, using our excess solar @ home. ฿200k ÷ ฿37/L = 5405/L X 14kpL = 75,660 kms ÷ 20k = 3.78 yrs. Not counting those 7 oil changes & 2 full tune ups. Easy & quick ROI for us. YMMV

That is the point, he's not going to be PM, so stop wasting time. He's not going to be PM, no matter how long it take, a waste time. No need for a 2nd or 3rd round of voting.

Economy wise, and very easy to calculate and realize the saving of EV over ICEV, using 91 @ ฿37 per Liter. IF having solar at home, as we do, then an EV is a no brainer. We owned both ICE and now EV version of the MG ZS. Around town, we get 360 kms per full charge. O&A we get about 320 kms per charge, since at speeds much higher than local driving. At home, if paying, say a high ฿4.5 per kWh, that would cost us; 46.3kWh @ 4.5 = ฿208 Petrol @ ฿37 to go 360 kms (14kp/L) = ฿950 O&A @ CS ... average ฿7.5kWh, (peak hours) so 320kms would cost; EV ,,, ฿347 ICEV ... ฿845

When O&A, plenty of choice for charging: MG Super Chargers ... if owning, or have member card PEA Volta ... @ BangChak petrol stations, and PEA offices (not all) EV Station Pluz ... @ PTT station (reserve only) EA Anywhere ... at many destinations, petrol stations, malls, even some MG dealers use their charging cables. Have not used yet. Elexa ... haven't use, but a favorite of one of the AN members eVolta ... we have, but not used, and don't like them, since most are not fast chargers. Would not recommend as we did, putting money on their app, as can't take it off. May be a while before we use that up. PlugShare is a good site to find charging stations w/reviews ChargeLoma is an app, with similar information All the vendor apps have more current information

That's what the defense bill is, appropriation to buy new toys and or upgrade what's in inventory already for the USA military. Is this the same administration that is giving billions away to UA, but now nit picking the budget for the USA's defense budget ? A bit hypocritical one would think.

I have a BEV, MG ZS, and love it. As long as you can charge at home, and are not one of those impatient drivers who need to be where ever ASAP, when on the road, O&A (out & about), then you'll probably love it also. Plenty of CS (charging station) country wide. Weekends, I read it's good to reserve when using CS, as they can get busy. I've yet to need to, but usually avoid weekends for other reasons. Saying that, we were O&A on weekends and yet to encounter or wait for a Q. I think once we just went to next CS couple kms down the road, and not Q related. If O&A quite often, then sign up & know the CS/vendors procedures before going O&A. Some require apps, CC, bank transfer. All quite easy. One just went to a 'reserve only' format, (EV Station Pluz) which I'm not a fan of, so will not be using in the future, unless last resort. We use; MG, since having, 1st choice PEA, 2nd choice, those 2 have been enough, though used EV Station Pluz quite a bit in the past. Either is always on the way, and rare to leave the highway to use any CS. IF so, then conveniently located, just off the main road. Atto 3 is a nice looking ride, and we see a lot of them. Economy wise, it really doesn't get any cheaper and easier for local transport. No longer needing to go to petrol station, just plug in at home for a fraction of the cost of petrol, now ฿37 for 91 ???? I would avoid comments from the naysayers, folks that don't own an EV. Most haven't a clue, and do nothing but spew a false, bias narrative of ignorance ... IMHO I don't give advice about diesel engine vehicles, as I've never owned one ... nuff said.

So no different than any other country ????

THANKS ... don't know why people can't follow simple instructions. Why ask if not going to use the info. THANKS again. Note: not that I needed, as Thai calendar is easy enough to understand, but saves me 1 thinking process. Not that hard to realize if not 2566, then it's not this year

One round of voting was enough, and he wasn't even close to being PM ... ... move on, stop wasting time.

Part of the reason I enjoy living here. Not PC crazy in TH or SEA ???? USA was getting nuts 20 ish years ago (not as bad as EU), but I can't imagine how bad the USA is now. I'd probably offend some snowflake every time I talked if over there now.

Wants the people to win over the hearts & minds of the Senators, he wants to get rid of. Hope he doesn't wonder why they didn't vote for him as PM. "Vote for me & I'll try to end your career" ... kind of wonder how he got to where he is today with such insight.

Nothing says you can't have a YB, a lease & CoR all at the same time. If that's what you want or think you may need. PP, Pink ID or yellow book is all I've ever needed. When asked for ID or address, I offer the Pink ID first, and 99% of the time, that's all they need or want to see.

Actually about 1/3 are venomous.

Just make yourself known, as we had a few at the last house, and usually scurried away, till couple years there, then we got used to each other. One would actually sun on the pad while I had my coffee, about 5m away. Along with setting on top the waterfall sunning, and about 10m away.

We travel w/dog, so need to plan ahead. Usually never book in advance, but do ask if available, and on the day, let them know we're coming. Not a big brekkie person, so usually not a factor when choosing. More important is a green area for the dog, and a view for us. We rarely stay in town at anywhere except Krung Thep.

Agree with others, probably Golden Tree Snake, common and fairly harmless to humans. Unless living way way way down south, you shouldn't run into any sumatran tree vipers, hopefully.

That's some funny stuff right there. THANKS

Plenty of poor & uneducated have become quite successful. I'm living proof, as are many people I know in the USA, and here in TH. Blaming the system is not a reason, it's just an excuse. Have a Nice Day

Banging you head against the wall over. & over hurts. There's hope, and there is reality. Instead of trying to change the system, use the system, as it can be very profitable. And ... without hurting anyone. Wonder why foreigners even care. I'm assuming you'll be down there protesting with them. A man of action instead of just talking talking on a forum ... good for you.

apparently not in MWH's plan Simply cancel, easy enough.

Looks about right to me, just don't book more than a day in advance. We're out on a short one ourselves, maybe 3 weeks, only 3 nights into it ???? HAPPY TRAVELS ... Be Safe

If you thought anyone 1 leader, of 1 party, of a coalition govt would have much influence for any change, under the current Constitution and Senate make up, then you're assessment may be accurate. Don't be too hard on yourself though, many make that mistake.
