The worse car anyone could buy is a NETA, not considering that other tiny 2 person EV "car". The car is really terrible in almost all aspects. I managed to get 24,000 on BYD Atto 3 for only 800,000 coverage. if next year they increase too much I'm just not going to do it.

Been doing my own Air filter and other non-voiding warrant parts for all cars I owned, saved a lot money on that because dealers (toyota, honda, byd) all want at least 3x for simple things like an Air filter. Warranty cannot be voided by just an air filter, but the trick you did is really smart! Toyota always wanted to take my money with necessary fixes, such as batteries, cabin cleaning, tires, etc. I never bulge. Toyota asked 29,900 for a set of tires (Michelin 265/50R20), I got in Lazada the newer "Dunlop PT5" for 17,000 Baht, I really love them and definitely better than the originals "Dunlop PT3A". I also changed battery by myself 1 year later and saved another 1500 baht, used same model, they dont even know I changed without a close look. I always think Dealer service are for those who just dont care about the money or can't do themself. Not complaining about Toyota service, I still think it's one of the best here. Far better than BYD, which has been a complete joke for the last 2 years.

Thanks for sharing! That's not cheap for an EV car, still a lot cheaper than a Gas car. They are charging 1,152B for a simple air filter, you should be able to soon buy it yourself for less than 200 baht and save 8,000 baht out of that 32,000 baht, bring the cost down to 24,000 Baht for 8 years. That is a LOT better no?

Neta no way going to stay in that list anymore. Neta failed the NCAP test really bad getting 0 Stars! It's a dead trap: https://soyacincau.com/2024/12/09/neta-v-zero-star-asean-ncap-safety-rating/ Basically, from the NCAP report all safety features are badly implemented, even the seat belt is terribly lacking important features. the steel strength is also really poor, causing the driver and passengers to certainly die on any medium front collision at moderate speeds. The BYD dolphin cost just a tiny more and got 5 stars in the NCAP test, here is one done for Brazil getting really decent score https://carnewschina.com/2024/12/20/byd-dolphin-became-the-safest-chinese-car-in-latin-america/

no surprise in this news, I went to Saporo/Niseko last years ski season and the number of tourists were the highest the locals have ever seen! even higher than pre-covid. Japan is my #1 destination for my best vacations, I fruking love that country for going with the family. we go there every year to Hokkaido and northern areas, we rent a car really nice and even cheaper than Thailand. What I love the most: - The Food and Winery are incredible - Safety and piece of mind, I can forget my bag anywhere and next day it will be there. - Ability to Rent cars that "are properly maintained" and priced properly, unlike the craps nearly breaking down you get to rent in Thailand. - uniformity in pricing, no double standards. - not too expensive when booked in advance, we usually book 6 months ahead.

Well done. I hope she doesn’t have to face jail time for doing the right thing.

There is nothing new here. They heavily profit from drugs, once revenue starts to drop they need to get back, by making sure they control every aspect of the whole trade in order to collect their money. Profit comes in two forms: Prison budget and collected money from drug sales. Point is, just another money stream at work.

The current BYD blade battery is good for longevity and Water protection is excellent. Being LFT type, it's expected to last at least 500,000 km. That comes with a the cost of not being repairable. The Tesla battery is easily repairable for bad modules. There's is an expert in YouTube that explains the details of taking the Blade battery apart. Once it's opened, all the seals are destroyed and the casing too. Solid state batteries will come, but i think LFP are good enough for the current years to come. I also already have some 18650 sodium batteries, they are super cheap but capacity is still very low

I've also gotten two street dogs, got them babies, 90% of the time on the cage. Release twice a day for an hour or two. They're happy dogs. No problems.

dannnggg... my EV insurance went crazy high this year! I had to pay 25,000 for a first class insurance for the BYD Atto3 60kWh. that's the cheapest I got. meanwhile, I have another diesel car, priced way above the BYD, a 2.0MB car, and insurance how much? 14,000 for the 4rd year, dealer 1st class. I dont think charging stations is problem today with EVs in Thailand. There's plenty, I think it's the insurance and repairs. ( I just did a round trip to Satahip from Bangkok on the Atto3, still have 13% when I got back home, leaving home at 100%) Having to pay 10,000 baht extra for insurance if it's an EV, can eat up all the cost savings from having an EV compared to Petrol car where insurance is so cheap. I made a calculation, taking into account Petrol Maintenance, Insurance, gas price and Electricity price: - EVs are only more economical than a Petrol car if driven more than 12,000 Km/year - EVs make a lot of sense if you drive at least 20,000 KM/year, where big savings can be achieved. for example: a BYD Atto3 vs my Toyota Fortuner Legender What I pay for my Toyota Legender for almost 4 years (since jan 2021): - Maintenance: 64,000 baht - Diesel Fuel: 160,000 baht (50,000+ km) - Insurance: 60,000 baht (4 years) - Road Tax: 28,000 baht (7,000/year) Avg cost per year: 78,000 Baht What I pay for my BYD Atto 3 for the past 2.5 years (20,000 km) - Maintenance: 500 baht (swap tires once) - Electricity: 17,000 baht (20,000 km) - Insurance: 48,000 baht (2 years) - Road Tax: 3000 Baht (1500/year) Avg cost per year: 26,000 Baht even we I drive BYD only 12,000km/year I can still save a lot of money, but I dont recommend to everyone to have an EV.

This is the one airline I will never ever book a flight and strictly can't let anyone in my family circle do it. Relatives lost 35,000 baht during covid, never got back. I used credit card for a cheap flight and I managed to get my money back via my bank. Do you know why Airsasia has always charged crazy fees for Credit card? because they dont want customer using credit cards, and they have to pay a high fee to process credit cards as well due to risks of chargebacks. If you use credit card, you are protected by the card brand when they can cancel the flight or delay, you can certainly get your money back. but if you pay by other payment methods, you are the mercy of the Airasia AI chatbot, meaning, you will never get back.

I felt into that Klong once while getting off the boat at the Wittayu stop, lost one of my shoes and luckily managed to keep my head off the water. climbed up with my backpack and my laptop also got fried... was walking home bare foot and fully soaked in black water 😄 That water is a very high risk to contract either a GI infection, like rotavirus. I got rotavirus once, it's so bad. with that water you can even get a urinary infection. The water in many canals in Thailand do have a lot of ecoli and rotavirus, because it gets a lot of sewage released from overflow in most households. The houses around the canal discharge sewage straight into the canals.

Agree, those fast bikes are really a weapon on the hands of the inexperience. A 200HP bike on the city, you have to treat the bike as a weapon. I did the same, had a Yamaha XSR900, a beast of a bike. Didn't ride as much as I did on the CB500F (10K vs 68K km.) To be honest, I had fun with the CB500 a lot more, it's a much more forgiving bike, you make mistakes, it's normal, but I want to ride again tomorrow, so I sold the yamaha

Just google it and there are many things you can, It's all about testosterone levels... you need to raise them up, and to do that, the most effective are: 1. Do a lot of leg workouts, 1-2 days a week minimum (my favorites: squats, sumo squat, dead lift, leg and calf extension. 2. Do daily Kegel exercise for your come to not end after a minute 😄 3. Some supplements help like Maca and Tribulus terrestris after a few months you are going to be like a rock, works for any age, even at 50s

The benefits of Crypto is the privacy, anonymity and full control of your assets. That can also be cons of it, because it's anonymous, a thief can steal it from you and never able to recover. The best way to self-protect is to not boost you have crypto.

If you have Crypto, 1. Dont tell anyone you have it. 2. Keep it in a Cold storage, Ledger, etc. 3. Only keep small amount in hot storage, like laptop, exchange.

This is good news. I am one of those that deeply hate the church and everything related to it. The biggest scam of all times is religion, it's all a farce to control people. I was forced when child to go to the Mass every week, standing, kneeing, and all that bull$h1t related to it, didnt make me any better person than real life experiences. What's interesting is that many things in bible have actually happened, only that 99% of it got distorted and changed to a difference narrative, the Jesus narrative. One of the best books I can recommend: Magicians of the Gods: The Forgotten Wisdom of Earth's Lost Civilisation by Graham Hancock

Well, they can't have this in China, everything is so controlled and expensive over there. So they come to Thailand for cheap drug parties. Not just Chinese, Japanese and many other nationals in controlling countries too, the Japanese are much smarter to stick with just weed. cannabis should be legalized as recreational and allowed at venues, that would change things to the positive side. Should also lead to less synthetics hard drugs.

You see, that's the thing! All doctors don't agree, because they dont want to change their outdated mindset. they think like a rock. And Thai people still dont believe that Fats are good and Sugars are bad. Nothing to do with Salt or Fat. Salt is absolutely necessary for any balanced diet, the problems lies on the imbalance of minerals and nutrients. Food now a days have zero nutrition and full of cheap vegetable oils.

Oh please no, it's so bad how everything now is zero-fat or low-fat. With the good fats remove (for profit) and add all the cheap horrible vegetable oils like palm oil and sunflower oil to preserve the food. Then stick the label "No preservative", the biggest lie in the food capitalism in Thailand.

instead of butter, I put MCT oil in my coffee before working out every morning. it does break my fast, and it gives huge amount of instant energy. Grass fed butter also have MCT in it, but much less than pure MCT. Sometimes I put my own made cannabutter in my coffee as well, but I leave that to the weekends 😄 hahaha

cool, how does that work? does it sound an alarm?

If you have money (1000Baht) and already have an iPhone: Apple Airtags with a good case (500-1000Baht) so the dog wont eat it. if you are on a budget: I cannot recommend anything, as they are all mostly crappy and nothing works as close as good as the AirTag. Besides the Airtag battery last like 1-2 years (if it's a genuine CR battery) https://www.amazon.com/s?k=airtag+dog+collar The airtags have no GPS or Data, it relies on other iPhones and Bluetooth to report location. I use it on all my luggage, wallets, children school bags, etc. last time I landed in bangkok my luggage got stuck at the Dubai airport, I knew exactly what was happening, when it left dubai and when it landed in Bangkok. AMAZING Tech!

I had a friend from work, in marketing team, he drove a new Mazda 2 for 50,000KM until the engine seized up, never change oil, never took the car to do any service. 😄 Quite amazing the old 1.5L Mazda 2 lasted that long with 1 oil change.

I would see this as good news. 1. Less cars on the road, people still keep buying cars and hardly using it. 2. Consumers could get discounts after the high supply of cars
