    Accept it in multiple currencies. Accept cards. Lots of ways to collect 300 Baht. Not rocket science, really.

    The question here is about EVs. Do the math on how many kWh an EV consumes, then come back to me on how feasible it is to use solar only to charge one.

    Is anyone missing Prayuth yet?

    Britain is packed out with immigrants anyway. A few Thais won't make any difference.
  5. sidneybear
    Who needs even more tourists?

    Swampy is miles of corridors with a smallish strip of shops. No chance.

    Indeed he was. Thaksin's clique has a long history of charging foreigners and all things foreign.
  8. sidneybear
    Nah. Thailand IT sector has some pretty smart people.

    Tourists who find 300 Baht a hindrance aren't worth having anyway.

    Just add it to the price of the air ticket and collect it from the airline, like they did with departure tax years back. Nobody would even notice it then.

    Pretty much. I was in an EV taxi the other day, and the driver was telling me how useless it was. The battery only lasts half his normal shift, and he was planning to go back to a taxi with a proper engine. EVs are a gargantuan con.

    A better question would be how many kms does he drive them. Solar power is puny.

    In what ways have I insulted the countries that you listed by making comparisons to Thailand? Please, enlighten me with your insights, if indeed you have any.
  14. sidneybear
    Aside from ad hominem insults, are you able to discuss, like an adult, any of the points I raised?

    Thailand is no different from anywhere else. For example, what kind of democracy offers its electorate a choice between Biden and Trump? Democracy doesn’t really exist anywhere, when you think about it, and what makes it the best system of government anyway?

    Nobody listens to the preaching west anymore, thankfully.

    Chicken and egg. These people have hated each other for decades.
  18. sidneybear
    True, but it's all a question of degrees of badness.

    Spot on. Hamas had been indiscriminately firing rockets at Israeli civilians well before what happened on October 7th.
  20. sidneybear
    Nonsense. Personal Income Tax applies to Thais and foreigners in equal measure.

    A very long post to say that you don't hold any opinions and have nothing sensible to add to the discussion.
  22. sidneybear
    Are you a sheep, or a free thinking person who holds your own opinions, even if other people on this forum don't agree? What's the point of a forum like this if everyone agrees with each other. In you, we see a textbook example of the kind of conformism that's killed the art of debate in recent years.

    If you htink that western countries are democracies, you probably believe there are fairies at the bottom of your garden. Whatever you vote for in the west, the outcome is the same. Think only Thailand is authoritarian? Think again.
  24. sidneybear
    I don;t think so. Bargirls might say that to you, but most Thais I meet are perfectly happy where they are.
  25. sidneybear
    You're talking about the west, right?
