Are hybrids still an option?
The Nissan hybrid (Kick e-power) is in many ways a very nice car, but lacks power for a quick overtake and acceleration on uphill roads. Nissan claims it to run 26 kms/liter but that is way above reality, which is around 18 kms/liter. I really love the sound system.

Swiss Expat Charged with Bodily and Mind Harm in Phuket Kicking Incident
Good guys in, bad guys out. Maybe they should look in to, how he can afford to live in a million Baht per month villa. I doubt that an elephant sanctuary business is that lucrative! https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2024/03/01/swiss-man-alleged-assault-on-a-thai-female-doctor-in-phuket-uli-fehr/

Thai wildfires rage across 10 provinces in northern Thailand
For people with an IQ over 40, this disaster wouldn't have been hard to predict. Maybe it is karma, that the crop burning farmers will now lose their valued possessions to the wildfires. But unfortunately most victims will be innocent people.

Thailand’s sugar intake quadruples WHO daily limit causing health concerns
You are correct that a human body needs sugar, in order to function well. But that sugar should primarily come from healthy food like fruits and vegetables and not from sugary drinks, cakes and snacks. Diabetes is not caused by eating to much sugar, but by obesity, so when people are beginning to get fat, it is about time to cut down on the sugar intake.

Japanese Man Chased By Knife-Wielding Cabbie After Dispute Over Not Using The Meter
The tourists are back in Bangkok and so are the crooked taxi drivers. During the covid pandemic, they were few and far between. When a taxi driver rolls down the window, you know that something is not right. Either he will not use the meter, or he will be selective about the destination. All the honest taxi drivers will let you open the back door to get in and tell your destination.

Is there a comfortable scooter where you don't feel bumps in the road
I had a few Honda PCX bikes over the years, which had a very hard seat. I solved the problem by getting a custom made seat with extra foam padding in the front area where I sit. That also made it way more comfortable to drive on a rough road. For the last 3 years I have driven a Honda ADV150, which has a good suspension, so extra padding has not been needed. I've heard that that ADV150 was to high for thais, so Honda made the later ADV's with a lower sitting hight. If they just did it, by removing a few centimeters of padding in the seat, the seat may need to be customized for better comfort. Make sure that you get your own bike seat customized, so you don't end up exchanging it for a cheap aftermarket seat.
