The Thai SET is at it's lowest in 3 years, not very attractive to potential investors!

It is a Buddhist thing, extremely difficult here to get a vet to put down a sick or dying dog!

This story is not about Thai's.

Very easy to fix, stop, them all for license and insurance, 99% no have!!

That is the issue, Mom & Pop wake up early to go and earn a Thai wage leaving the kids to drive alone, 100 baht a day from a menial Thai wage would be a massive chunk of their daily income, this is why the police even at school gates ignore the infraction, they understand the background.

How many Thai families could afford a Bolt taxi twice a day 5 days a week???

This is correct, i have recently done it at Rayong. Your employer needs to provide you with a form when you leave, a Kor Tor 10 (spelling??) if your employer did not give you, you can go upstairs to second floor in the One Stop Centre at Mapthaput and get it from there, take that with you to SSO in Rayong along with Passport, Thai bank book, Pink ID card and Yellow book, they will complete the forms for you, you just have to sign. But this must be done within 6 months of leaving your employment. If you have been paying in for less than 15 years they give you a "lump sum pension" paid into your bank in about 1 month. At the same visit i registered to continue payments by myself, received the papers with my new number, then through the back to the finance department and did my first contribution, i now pay at 7/11 every month. For SCB, my bank(i also have UOB but they would not pay it into there), they gave me a form for the branch manager to sign so they could automatically take monthly payments, but they said not all branch managers will sign it! Rayong SSO is great, really helpful, i was in and out in less than half an hour!

If it was not for "Sinful City, Paradise for Prostitutes," Then most of these business owners that are protesting wouldn't have a business here!

There is a vast difference between worked examples and actual sales.

When the railway road was completed there were traffic lights in all directions along it's entire length, within one month they were switched to flashing Yellow for the railway road and flashing red for the crossings which meant priority for the railway road, within another 3 months they were switched off all together!!

Indeed. The Thais love their finance, but unlikely they understand that when they have paid off their EV and want to renew there will be no trade in, no resale value, and they have to start again! These EV's need to be treated as a consumable, and they need to prepare themselves financially for that, but very unlikely most of them will have thought about that.

Yes. Many components, or raw materials are already made in Rayong for the existing huge production facilities for many brands of vehicles.

The new BYD facility at Rayong has initially employed 5000 workers set to rise to 10,000 by the end of the year, every aspect of those cars will be made in Thailand, mostly in Rayong, the market will be flooded with BYD cars.

Got to try and keep the gravy train flowing!!

Not overloaded at all, they are called 1 ton pick-ups for a reason, not a few hundred kg pick-ups. The SUV is clearly fully at the wrong side of the road, no fault of the pick-up in this one.
