  1. Thailand expects major rise in EV imports under new four-year plan. Hertz isn't failing, they are finding out they made a mistake with EV's. Not sure what you mean by a news-blip, but I am finding this is not really a free and fair open forum, and I'm seeing too many moderators want to strictly control the narrative especially when they don't agree with what is said, when I don't agree with what someone says, I just keep scrolling, and... I have never cared for a response from anyone on here, because there are more negative ones than positive, and its not why I share anything. You also made the other thread after this one. Why?
  2. Rental giant Hertz dumps EV's, including Teslas, for gas cars. Selling 20,000 citing higher expenses related to collision and damage for EV's even though it had aimed to convert 25% of its fleet to electric by 2024 end. Tires an issue due to the weight of the vehicles wearing tires faster than the lighter ICE vehicles. Insurance costs are through the roof mainly due to expenses related to fire, collision and damage, primarily associated with EVs. Its decision underscores the bumpy road EVs have hit as their sales growth slows, causing carmakers like General Motors, and Ford, to scale back production plans. https://www.energy.gov/articles/history-electric-car

  4. Which policies are you speaking of? The ones that were in place before, but ignored for many years until now? Which ones in particular?
  5. "100% Tax-Free Retirement in Thailand Only income earned inside Thailand is subject to tax during retirement. If you have personal income from pension, interest or other income-producing means from your country of origin it would not be subject to income tax in Thailand." That's what I was sold on years ago, and I never felt I was ever taking advantage of their hospitality by making the conscious choice of spending my already taxed hard earned retirement income here. For the first time I really feel Thailand is taking advantage of me, and it's growing more undesirable every day.
  6. 522 post in 197 pages = 3 post per page, and I still haven't seen anything of relevance from you.
  7. I sure didn't have white pasty crepe skin on toothpicks at 52. There is ugly, and then there is unhealthy and this one looks like both. Yikes...
  8. 52? Many British men look like walking dead, this particular chap seems to have had a very hard life. He looks 92...
  9. Evidently it hasn't helped you much. Always comical when people think they are more clever than they actually are. Loads of them on here.
  10. Living in Hua Hin and with family members for Songkran on Bintabaht Rd back in 2016. We came upon a British family that were drunk, belligerent and just plain unpleasant folks. We spoke with the father and son, asking them to please calm down, because the locals were becoming very agitated with them. They didn't listen to anybody and later in the evening, they were attacked and punched, kicked and knocked out by some local punks. Living in Hua Hin I saw many instances of British causing disturbances. Usually tourist, and they were not the only ones, but seemed to be the majority.
  11. My ancestors are not from Oz. My family name is old English and we originated in the Suffolk area of England, but that ilk was bred out of us many generations ago, thank God...
  12. You lost all credibility with me with the screen name of "fredwiggy" and I never knew any prejudices until I worked outside of my country, and it always seemed to come from the Brits in my particular experiences. Oh well, can't change them all... Pip.. pip...
  13. ~yawn~ yea... right... Yay... You really showed me... I may just have to bow down and quit posting. I used to be on Thai Visa years back, and the quality of the English has not improved or impressed me, even after all the years away. BTW, you don't rate any trolling, and I'm not from Australia Skippy... 🦘 ~yawn~
