Interesting. I don't think I have flown internationally out of DMK in 15 years, I always use BKK as it way more convenient for me. I wonder if they are still using old stamps? DMK was Bangkok International Airport but that name officially transferred in 2006 when Suvarnabhumi opened, hence Suvarnabhumi taking Don Muaeng's airport code of BKK and it getting a new one, DMK.

I answered you, yet you ignored me. Your silence is deafening. Not sure what you are trying to prove. Generators are common. Someone has brought to market a temporary generator that can charge EVs in temporary or very remote locations. Temporary. It is not a permanent charging station. Temporary. Are all EVs being charge by diesel generators? Read the tech spec or is that too much trouble? Posting the actual link was clearly too much trouble for you - seems you can only deal in pictures.

There are two airports in Bangkok, but there is only one "Bangkok airport" (Suvarnabhumi / BKK). The other is Don Muaeng / DMK.

A right wing anti-Islam shouty YouTube channel doesn't count. Just a load of old clips stitched together with no context. Do you have a credible source? People like you are the problem. See right wing videos, immediately share, zero checking of facts. Regurgitate, spew it out there again, repeat.

If all EVs were charged like that then yes you would have a point. But it is called a "temporary" charger, used for temporary sites. Seriously, try harder. P.S. Yawn.

Not to bring politics in to this, but it was Thaksin's government who brought in policies to get buses and HGVs to convert from diesel to LPG or NGV. I am sure with good intentions to reduce diesel imports and pollution, but we are still seeing the results of these policies today. I don't think certification or safety standards were brought in to go with the policy.

If yu look at the CCTV footage posted by Gerogalbert the buses don't appear to be speeding and they have a safe distance between them. It definitely doesn't look like dangerous driving was the main cause.

Our kids' school only uses Montri buses for excursions and everyone wears seatbelts. I have never ever seen a Montri bus being driven badly on the roads, so I feel comfortable with that. Seat belts in their fleet since 1991, alcohol detection machines for drivers since 1999. You can never be totally safe but in Thailand I think this is by far the most reputable company.

I think the picture s true. I have seen other ones with Paetongarn and that same scum bag is in them wearing the same clothes and ridiculous badges. Disgusting excuse for a human being.

A wise person doesn't spout ill informed nonsense either. A wise person doesn't swallow fossil fuel propaganda. A wise person does his own research. Are you wise? Doesn't look like it.

RTF article. This is no place for anti EV nonsense. Please go away, you are offensive and appalling.

I have to say I can't believe that picture is true. It must be from an old photo op, surely? The faces on those officials is just wrong. And the kids should be with their parents, and they don't have a speck of dust on them and they have chocolate milk etc. I know Andrew McGregor Marshall posted it and I respect him but it all seems too much. If it is real it is truly disgusting, absolutely appalling and disgraceful.

This is genuinely sickening if it is true. How absolutely shameful.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Mercedes, Volvo etc sell naked bus chassis and then you build what you like on top. I think this is what most os these busses are in Thailand, the original Mercedes platform with poorly constructed bodies with little to no safety standards or safe materials. It is a tragedy. The horror these kids went through in their last moments in unthinkable. Just because it doesn't "look" like a Mercedes it doesn't mean it isn't underneath. And then of course you have the shoddy CNG / LPG conversions. https://www.mercedes-benz-bus.com/en_ID/models/of.html RIP kids, you poor poor souls.

Course you have. If some one is that stupid that they can't drive an electric car without feeling the need the carry around a generator then they were too stupid to buy one in the first place, or should have stuck stuck with a low tech inefficient good old boys' US piece of junk ICEV. If you regularly need to drive 100s of kms in very remote areas then you probably shouldn't buy an EV. Sadly there are idiots everywhere (just more of them in America than most places).

Is your post count really that important to you that you just post absolutely nothing for no helpful reason? No wonder you're over 20k already, wow.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 100/100 My Time 42 seconds  

That's all in Thai but if they still have a nationwide service network then I stand corrected. I thought they exited Thailand a year or so ago? How long are those dealers going to be around for? I still wouldn't buy one.

Chevrolet exited Thailand completely so forget those as there is no dealer or service network. Toyotas probably your best bet for a 10-15 year old car as long as it has a good full service history. You can get a Toyota fixed anywhere if things go wrong and parts are plentiful. I would recommend buying from Toyota Sure as it is an official Toyota second hand car, you get a warranty etc. Don't think you'll find a good MPV for under 200k though. https://www.toyotasure.com/home/

Did you miss the second half of my past where I said I see dozens of Thais out walking their dogs after 5pm? It's too hot in the middle of the day for dogs (and humans) but in the evening everyone is out, walking dogs, jogging, exercising. But yeah, just ignore that part of my post so you can call Thais lazy, good for you.

I was here too. I remember that they were waiting for a request but didn't get one, and also that the Thais did request help from a different ship that was in port in Laem Chabang that had helicopters and it extended its planned stay to help. More like left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing rather than refusing all assistance, they did ask for assistance eventually. Like I said, it was badly mismanaged by the government. End of story. Edit: again, I am in no way defending the Yingluck government as they were useless on so many levels.

Woo Hoo, I found it! Brings back memories, one of the first projects I did at my post company back then. Ok, there was a space between "G" and "Land" but it still reads Gland to me. Hijacking of the thread is now complete, back to the informative river level posts from now on.

Yes, exactly as I said, they were in the area but didn't receive a request for help - it is right there in the text you quoted. But the US military never received a formal request from the Thai government and the three-ship aircraft carrier group along with a fourth ship, the USS Kidd, were released and left the area on Friday, said Perkins, spokesman for the US Pacific Fleet based in Hawaii. "We are ready to help but we haven't got a request," said a US defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Nice sweeping generalisation. I don't know if you noticed but Thailand is pretty damn hot during the day. Where I live between 5 - 8pm you see dozens of Thais out walking their dogs and - shock horror - even cleaning up after them.

I wonder if Mr Kwak goes on every single thread about topics he doesn't like just to tell people he doesn't like them?
