Thai inspections are different.

Totally agree. Tesla have started a downward spiral recently with their price cuts. A couple of Thai discussion groups are suggesting the subsidy will be ending in September but when pushed nothing substantial to back it up.

Possibly but we'd already paid for our Neta when the salesperson told us the subsidies would be ending at the end of the year 555.

The only price rise our local dealer is talking about is an end to the Govt subsidies for ev's at the end of the year.

Not enough hours in the day for Prawit then.

Maths not a strongpoint of yours is it.

She has all of her dad's experience pulling her strings.

I think the woman has been watching way too many Thai soaps to think this crackpot idea was even close to being a good plan.

You have outright just proved my point, thanks. 194 selected by the ruling junta. 50 from a shortlist submitted by the NCPO, the NCPO being the National Council for Peace and Order, again the ruling junta. The remaining 6 were the very top military commanders from all branches of the Thai Military. Every single one of them a military appointed stooge.

250 unelected military appointees....fixed it for you.

Except of course the 250 military appointed senators who can veto the people's choice of PM.

Jeez, even Prayut admitted in one of his first tv broadcasts after taking power that yellow shirts were amongst those commiting acts of violence.

Unless they have a Thai work permit yes.

Many business leaders in the UK are calling for the UK to align with EU regulations to simplify trade as they recognise going it alone will be disastrous for industry. The CEO of Ford UK did exactly this recently. The EU cutoff trade talks with Thailand in 2014 in response to Prayuts coup. They've recently reopened negotiations just prior to the recent election. The UK is the only G7 economy still below pre pandemic levels.

Yeah I fully expect trade with Thailand to replace the billions lost from trade with the biggest economy in the world right on the UKs doorstep.

She's the moron who denied all the doctors from the EU in the NHS who left in the years after 2016 has absolutely nothing to do with Brexit.

Probably true. Neither wifey or myself work and the bank wanted to see my work permit. Retirement and pension, however big, seemed a big no.

Too late I'm afraid, I went back and paid cash.

Being taken advantage of and a cashier making a mistake and then apologising are two very different things.

Thai bank lending is a mess. Wifey and I asked for a loan to buy a new car recently. I can get a better rate on my savings elsewhere than the loan rate so it makes sense. My pension is twice the married man's as demanded by Immigration and wifey has a million bht deposited at the bank. We were turned down. One of wifeys friends recently got a loan on a new pick-up. Their a teaching asst earning 9k a month and their repayments are 7k a month......insane.

They do but we're waiting for it to be installed. Our local, Suphanburi, dealer has been selling as many as they can get hold of and said there is about a month wait for the install.

As we took delivery of our little Neta V 10 days ago I thought it time to try out a nearby charging point as so far we've relied on the emergency home charger cable. One of the nearest to us is at the PEA near Robinson Kanchanaburi. App is easily installed but I don't like all of the personal info required with it. Money is easily uploaded to the wallet and we were of on our trip to town. First surprise it that there is only one charger on site and that one is only a slow 25kwh that charged our vehicle at 1% per minute. After 25 minutes wifey was bored so we cut it short and headed for lunch. Stats gained from the first charging point experience was that 92kms cost me 62bht...it would have cost about 230bht in my Triton. First impressions of the Neta is that it's a perfect car for the 120km per day school run. I charge back up to 80ish % every other day. It's comfortable, quiet and fast enough for my needs and at 549k it's an absolute bargain.

If PT scupper the chance for a new MF led Govt then I believe they'll never be forgiven and lose all hope of winning in the future. It is obvious the vast majority voted for change and PT should also embrace that need for change by giving the elected majority the means to deliver what the people obviously want.

That is least damaged engulfed by fire aviation fuel carrying tanker I have ever seen.

Don't bring a beer bottle to a gun fight.
