It's the matter of interpretation what "working" means. And what is actually considered "working" by the authorities. Somehow I doubt that anyone running seminars in Phangan has a work permit. 

555

Yes, it is champ. But guess what it's not YOUR interpretation it's ...

The police

The courts

The Immigration officers

But you - not your interpretation. But hey, give it a go. Must be a fortune teaching torch spinning, circus tricks and Reiki

I pay about 4 baht/unit from PEA, but about 97% of my electricity comes from my Solar panels.

You are not costing in all that expensive equipment inverters, panels and especially batteries. All this stuff but you still have an imbilical cord. All that junk will end up in a landfill with toxins leaching into water table. None of it recyclable but hey go ???? green ????

Because you cannot obtain a B visa otherwise. It must be done thru a Thai company or organization

 

There are no "independent contractor" B visas

@JoseThailandif not clear here's a show stopper.

If you are on anything but a B or an O and working - you're illegal. Plain, simple

Why would I need an employer (or employees) to run my own workshop?

NGV is perfect for taxis. Cheap retrofit.

Just brainwashing.

I can't imagine you'd get six let alone twelve years out of any ev. Especially those priced for issarn taxi driver budgets.

I was projecting but I did say so by prefixing it with "I think it highly likely", you should have done the same.  

 

I never said plugs in condo's connected to your own meter.  I think we will see communal charging stations with RFID cards that will bill you personally.

 

Solar is great, I have it, and you clearly have wind, a lot of it and hot.

I don't have it. I pay about b4 per unit.

You?

Can a Non-B visa be issued to run a seminar/workshop?

Yes, your Thai employer would manage everything and the presenter would do their job. The employee would have a O, B visa, tax id and work permit.

Go and arrest everyone running workshops in Phangan.

They will. Indeed, they will. They not even need arrest. Just round up, grab the brown envelope and move on to next idiot.

What sort of people and courses? New age mumbo jumbo

You can't say there never will be charging points at condos, unless you have a crystal ball.  I think it highly likely that there will be legislation mandating it.  Some are installing them already.

 

For most people, 1,000km range is nonsense.  It's dangerous not to have a break every few hours and the range of most EV's s about 3.5 hours.  We also have high speed charging stations every 30-50 km on the highways and you don't need any near your home.

 

I don't think Hydrogen will replace EV's, I think it more likely they will be sold alongside EV's, possibly cheaper to buy if there is a Lithium shortage, but in any event, at least double the cost of fuel per km and maybe more if Hydrogen is taxed.

You're just projecting same as I.

As the electric will need to be paid for I think you're a hopeless dreamer on plugs in condos connected to your own condo meter / bill. Possibly, third party install. I see theft, rats nest of wires, bickering and fighting.

A solution in search of a problem... don't even get me started on BS solar and wind.

I believe that is for attending, not running/organising

 

I recall it was for speakers but a one off. The way I understood it would be for a speaker to fly in - definitely not covering people organizing, promoting, profiting from the event. People living in Thailand and especially those not on B or even O visa

Where is the definition of "occupation" or "job" then?

The police will give it to you upon arrest.

Not been here long have you chancer?

I recall sometime back an easing of TR visa was announced that would allow speakers to fly in and do a conference without work permit.

In my mind this is completely different from those living on island of misfit toys and selling ridiculous Reiki, *yoga* courses and work-begging fire twirling sticks, etc. Of course, Muay Thai and massage would be off limits courses taught by farang. Yes, imo very necessary.

THIS is the future of EVs.

Nuclear power now more than ever.

Do we have some budding drag racers here............?  

I mean, none of you will be doing a sub 4 second run on the way to Tesco's..........????

I used to street race.

No charging stations

Condos I'll equipt for charging

But WHY electrcity lol? Hybrids make even less sense than overpriced insanity of EVs

Sorry to disappoint you but no. You'll have to go find one of those on Grindr. Good luck.

I owned a 74 911T ????

What absolute folly on so many levels. EV and hybrid owners= moron alert. Car merely displaces CO2 for starts but driving half ton equivalent of c4 ???? ????.

The batteries go bad with utmost certainty. New battery cost you the cost of the car. Cars used to last 50 years, these will last seven

Cook for yourself ..easy

Order food that has little to know sugar. Easy.

If you truly want NO sugar and can't speak fluent Thai please no tears when it comes as something else or with lots of sugar.

If such a concern why are you here? Really. I've wondered constantly about all the sickly or obese *vegetarians* I see about. Why? Go home, get your special food so important to you.

30 years ago you couldn't trust the lettuce or anything that could not be peeled.
