Don't believe I said it did.

Yes it is. I only buy 'Harvey' brand from AU, for steaks. Get fresh ground local (lean or brisket) for my burgers or tacos.

Nothing going on over there, USA, will affect us here. And only if you don't 'buy USA' will it affect those living in USA. Though guessing, most will still buy the best product at the best price, and that will be imports. USA simply can't compete any more, tariffs or not. When USA companies start manufacturing in the USA, thing may change, though doubtful. Profits rule.

Real registration numbers tell a much different story, and let's stick to BEV, as ICEV are still the most sold, though losing market share every month. As stated on the other thread, you'd have to be nuts to not at least look at BEV, before plopping your hard earned money down for an under performing, overpriced, low tech, expensive to maintain ICEV.

Asking the wrong person, as I stopped paying attentions, since having BEVs already, and no interest for another, unless they come out with a 700k basic pick up with a proper size cargo bed. That apparently ain't happening, as they're all simply SUVs with a small, useless, cargo bed ... IMHO Just saw that promo in my FB feed. Damn 200k less than my daughters Atto 3, bought last year. But she couldn't wait, as her POS Mazda 2 was dying.

Why do you all anti Trumpers keep embarrassing yourselves with all these silly threads. Just reading the titles is enough to ignore them. You obviously have no idea about investing in the markets long haul, or short haul, or at all. Seek some therapy, get some sleep ....

I posted, just stay in the Muang / capital city of province. Anything else, too small and boring, along with, might drop you off in the middle of nowhere, with no transport around. I'd search for the most convenient guesthouse, closest to the best restaurant and or pub. Pluses, if it has a view, lake or stream. Nothing else needed, especially if you take some companionship of your choosing with you.

Not if you hop off and stroll around every Muang city. Have a great munch, overnight and then hit the next on the train line. Bangkok Ayutthaya Lopburi Nakhon Sawan Phichit Phitsanulok Uttaradit Nakhon Lampang Lamphun Chiang Mai

Only about 250 people died on Phuket during the tsunami. And probably all on street level. People should be a lot wiser now, and not get caught off guard. Even that was a once in a century occurrence. More than enough high ground near most of the western beaches to seek refuge.

Anyone considering buying a new car, ICEV, you really need to go peek at BEVs. This will put a major dent in any 'made in TH' ICEV sales. Along with most JP imports. Better, less expensive, and you never need to buy petrol again

So ... Never by to Phuket With the slightest advanced warning, nobody should get hurt on Phuket.

I can ... but prefer TH ... as allows a lot more pocket change to play with. Along with much less hassles & stress

Just like every other province, town, tourist don't visit. Smalls-ville, and Muang only has 120k people, maybe, and just over half million in the whole province. Like most of TH, need to self entertain, unless you actually think most Wats or parks here are actual tourist attractions. Don't think I ever even bothered to overnight there, and that's rare, as few provinces I haven't slept in, at least 1 night.

Yep, especially if near or after sunset ... got some kind of light, and even the dog is that smart ... VID_20250403_142839.mp4

What the sense of having a brain or common sense, if you don't use it. And I'm sure you drive the speed limit all the time. Especially 30 kph through villages or 60 kph though town, and of course, never over 90 kph, on highway, with exception of the few stretches allow to do 100-120 kph.

No place where I ever lived. Step off the curb without looking and expect to run over. You always look both ways, then again ... maybe even a 3rd time. I don't even trust the crosswalks at intersection, even if the pedestrian get their own little green light. Only takes a second or 3 to stay safe crossing the road. Mind boggling people ignore the basics, and still get run over. You can't fix stupid.

Already conceded, I should have Googled before posting ... ... in the future, try not to kick a man when he's already down 😎 And ... I got more crap here than I can smoke. Think I over bought, especially since I rarely indulge. Smoked half a doobie last month, and might smoke the other have this month ... maybe

Not suppose to victim blame, but still amazes how people can't see the cars or MBs driving on the road ... or expect them to stop.

No beach in Udon, If I had to choose, Udon vs Phuket ... ... or Udon vs any other place below Krung Thep, Udon loses. Yea, Phuket wins over Udon.

1 week inflation, for my 'go to' 70% dark chocolate chips, over 26% increase in price OK, not 1 week, as been ฿320 for awhile, and now ฿405 😢 Beats crappy Tulip Dark Chocolate @ 22%, that taste like nothing even close to chocolate.
