Hellfire

They would start producing electrical vehicles at the end of 19 (!!!) century if only they had batteries with proper capacity at the time. This is how "new" and "original" this whole electrical revolution is. From H.Ford's book (describing the end of 19 century period): "Practically no one had the remotest notion of the future of the internal combustion engine, while we were just on the edge of the great electrical development. As with every comparatively new idea, electricity was expected to do much more than we even now have any indication that it can do. I did not see the use of experimenting with electricity for my purposes. A road car could not run on a trolley even if trolley wires had been less expensive; no storage battery was in sight of a weight that was practical. An electrical car had of necessity to be limited in radius and to contain a large amount of motive machinery in proportion to the power exerted. That is not to say that I held or now hold electricity cheaply; we have not yet begun to use electricity. But it has its place, and the internal combustion engine has its place".

I think the truth is in the middle: not a fad but, also, there is nothing truly revolutionary about it. Does it matter if one gets fast and almost effortlessly from point A to point B using petrol or electricity? The result is the same (it is something that was introduced to a wide public well over 100 years ago).

The prices seem to be 10-20% higher than on one2car website. Is it worth it?

I plan to buy a used car for around 50 k usd. A new one will cost at least 100 k and that is amount I don’t wish to pay for a car. I would definitely go for a new one if I wanted to buy a less luxurious brand.

I want to buy a used car in Thailand. But, since I am completely incompetent when it comes to car motors and other parts, I am quite worried about being cheated and ending up buying some junk. What can I do to avoid this scenario? Can I hire somebody to help me with the process of choosing the right vehicle? Any other ways? Thank you!

This is why expensive watches are not a symbol of status anymore. You never know what the REAL price of those is.

Statistical gambling

I bet you would write the same non-sense if this Swiss man was beheaded on the central square in Bangkok. If he broke a law - it does not mean he deserves ANY punishment possible (up to a choice of an angry mob, for example). After all - this is why the laws exist in the first place - to get to each fact of “law breaking” an adequate punishment. There is no such a crime as just “breaking a law”.

But people can make mistakes. All people, not only “dirty farangs”. And then ones do a “wai” move and they are free to go and others get their whole life turned upside down. If this is what they call “justice” - then I do not want nothing to do with it. P?S. And the witch hunting has logically followed this blown out of any proportion scandal.

These people cannot see further than their noses.

That “Valium gang” members trying to control the world!

Witch hunting has started. Those who helped to blow out that Swiss guy story out of any proportion should be happy now.

Those are the laws written by other humans (and just several decades ago). Not the laws of Physics. So, in fact, any human being can be deported.

As does anyone? How often do they deport and blacklist the locals? Even the serial child killers? Then you have foreigners who can be kicked out of the country for one bad move. So we have 2 sets of laws here: one for the Thais and one for the “dirty foreigners”. What is especially appalling to me is how many other foreigners get orgasmic when they see their “fellow” farangs punished this way. Stockholm syndrome?

Why only him? All foreigners should be punished. We are all responsible for what he has done and deep inside we are all the same (given an opportunity, each of us would kick an old Thai lady and some would even eat her alive). And we all have Covid too. P.S. what happens when a Thai man kicks a Thai lady? Where do they deport him? Ouh, I forgot, something like this can never happen in reality. P.S. 2 : be very careful supporting double standards: you never know on which side of these standards you may find yourself one day.

Check those elephants too. They don’t look genuinely Thai to me. Probably, illegal Burmese or Cambodian.

If the locals will judge you not the way you are but according to some stereotypes prevalent in their society at the moment - I promise and guarantee you will never have a peaceful life here.

Upon arrival, officers instructed the two foreigners to wait in the room and then deployed an undercover officer to pose as a customer. The undercover officer paid 14,000 baht in cash to each of the foreign women. At this point, the hidden officers revealed themselves and proceeded to arrest the women. —- I have a little bit different information. There was at least 30 minutes interval between money changing hands and the Thai officers revealing themselves.

There is a hidden Thai-Swiss war raging at the moment. Not a day passes without some new victims from both sides.

No, it is more of a worldwide epidemic. The app hit a staggering 1.92 billion users in 2023, a 16% increase from the previous year. The app is expected to reach 2 billion by the end of 2024

Tik Tok popularity = more brain damaged people (with an attention span of a fly). Nothing to be happy about.

I like how these brave Swiss warriors always choose women as their fighting opponents. Some go even further in their bravery and choose the old women.

Who are AN members?

The most important and the only one needed: stop giving her any money.
