I have a beard, masks don't really work anyway; impossible to get a seal.

First of all there should be a lot of charging stations that will be needed, as most electric EV cars do not have a great range if

you need to use the AC.   When the battery is dead, a tow truck is the only rescue.   Hybrid vehicles are a better

choice for now.

Nah, just carry a diesel generator in the boot to charge it up when needed.  ????

Unfortunately this article provided absolutely inaccurate information which was further confused by many ridiculous comments.  The Ferry started commercial operations since November and currently is only sailing once a week due to operating at only 30% capacity.. It also had to adjust its schedule due to port congestion in Songkhla, where the local authorities appear determined to see the ferry fail. The ferry accepts all types of vehicles (excluding dangerous cargoes), including motorcycles.  We welcome anyone to come and visit the ferry and see for themselves exactly what is available/possible. 

Good, Post-Covid, I quite fancy a sea trip down and a bike trip home.

I look forward to hearing how his quarantine goes.

Thought about it, but there's a certain likeable personality that all good bar owners have.  I don't.  

In the UK, you can rent on a 5-year Thai licence, it's considered a valid full licence.  I've done it.

You cannot rent on a 2-year Thai licence, it's considered as a provisional licence only.

Will the dealers count out the chips three or four times?

Yes, and reject any with writing on them.  ????

Having owned several properties and gone through the building process I would say the neighbours have no input a word of warning a good friend built a house and 9 months later  the Thai owner on the adjoining plot built a karaoke bar which prior to COVID was open until 3 am every morning and as the bar was built of wood / bamboo it’s classed as a temporary build no planning or building permit required just a nice brown envelope every month . 

Sounds...... flammable.  ????

He'll have a good last few years, she'll live well and have a nest egg when he goes.  Win, win.

Yeah, I often tip.

 

Normally about 50 Baht after a restaurant meal. Usually 20 Baht when I get petrol in the car or motorbike.

 

I never give my tips in coin (only notes) as I heard somewhere (probably on a previous thread on this topic) that Thais consider it a little insulting to be given spare coins and change.

Well, I must have insulted half the population by now.  Almost never have coins in my pockets when I empty them at night.

Why didn't he check his passport? 

^^^ This ^^^

I'm only on a lowly Non-O with retirement extension, but any time anything happens in my passport, I check it immediately, before I leave Immigration, and set calendar reminders.  This stuff is too important not to.

Historically, one thing that always stimulates an economy is a war.  Let's hope he doesn't decide on that.

"near impossible to sell"

Drop the price enough and anything sells.

Hua Hin sounds good for this. or Phuket, or........................ anywhere but Pattaya please, we have enough troubles without this!

So not Bang Saen, Chonburi City, Sri Racha or Laem Chabang? Pattaya is going to get very busy.

Apart from Sri Racha, the others are where the recent clusters were found.

Were it me, this would have accidentally fallen over, the tank too after it sprung an accidental leak.

I'm in Pattaya, no borders for a long way, we get the "haze".  They can't blame other countries for here.

Generally, honest people can be found.

The Pattaya Mayor has asked............

Sitting in a bar on Hellfire Corner in Pattaya with a camera, that's your beer paid for right there.
