Thank you. I didn't realise you could do this for 90 day reports, very useful!

Yeah, or that - I had totally forgotten you could do it and also stupidly expected the 90 day report would be quick.

Damn, a day late, that would have been useful car parking advice. I am at CW now for a 90 day report (my online one was rejected as first one needs to be in person). Had a nightmare parking, the multistory near building B was jammed. I ended up parking in the (near empty) multistory next to building A and took a motorbike to building B. Got my Q ticket at 9.40am, 114 people in front of me. Now 12.30pm, waiting for their lunch to finish and there are still 20 people in front of me. So it is going to be at least a four hour exercise just to tell them I haven't moved house in the last 90 days. Oh well. I think if I have to do this again I'll just come in the afternoon.

I truly hope you are being ironic.

Just been reading their website. It's a lot of money but it's a lot of car. Some really nice exterior and interior lighting, 20 speaker Yamaha sound system, air suspension, magnetic damping. And the performance specs are impressive.

It isn't misleading or exaggerated, I scroll past them literally every day. No one else is interested, please give it a rest. Or how about go and start an EV numbers thread that you and JB can just indulge in and the rest of us can ignore? Please??

No official poll but I am adding my voice to motdaeng's. It is very very boring, incredibly so. I am tired of having to scroll past all those posts each day (sometimes several times a day) to get to anything interesting - it is strangling the thread.

The entire European Union will have one from next year. https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en

That was I thought too! Then I Googled it. Oklahoma declared it their state vegetable. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/apr/18/usa.matthewweaver

I agree with all that. When you look at BYD releasing new models all the time (and not just saying they are coming but they never come like Tesla) and updating models regularly. I do admire Tesla for being a maverick company back in the day, releasing their patents so everyone could use the same EV tech and for trailblazing, but they have failed to keep up with the competition. The cars look outdated to me, apart from the Model S Plaid. And they are not very well made. They are putting so much focus on FSD and it is quite cool, albeit it nothing more than a gimmick in most countries. I do like Musk's vision of all Tesla owners being able to make their cars available for autonomous rides so you can earn some money when you're not using your car (for example while you are at work). That is smart if it eventually works. I am just surprised so many people buy them here, you see a lot on the road in Bangkok. They are too expensive and just not as good as the equivalent BYD for example. I would never consider one for myself.

That's because Filipinos are so Americanised, they love their crappy fast food chains. Generally anything bland and oily is a hit there.

As the other poster already commented, Thai fly from all different concourses and there is no consistency day to day, so impossible to predict. There are Miracle Lounges at every concourse (I am pretty sure) plus there are also Coral lounges. BKK is full of lounges. No need to book, just turn up and pay - they are never full, that way you can pick one near your gate on the day. Oh, just saw you are going to the UK. Long haul tend to go from D,E,F,G, but also now we have S gates which mean taking a train. You'll really just have to decide on the day once your gate is announced. If you pre-book a specific lounge based on yesterday's flight then find out you're in the wrong concourse then you'd be in pain.

Interesting to have someone who clearly knows a lot about the subject sharing their insights, thanks. Makes a change from the usual guff we get on here (outboard motors anyone?)

Ford's CEO and CFO went to China to try their EVs. They were quite honest about how good they are and how far behind they are. https://www.businessinsider.com/ford-ceo-cfo-left-shocked-after-chinese-ev-test-drive-2024-9 So Ford openly admit it, Musk has openly admitted how good BYD (and other Chinese makes) are. UBS Research tore a BYD Seal down and reported on the extremely high quality of it. European and American governments are aware of the threat hence imposing massive import duties. Yet still on here we read comments like "Made in China, will fall apart", "Chinese junk", "Chinese death traps" etc. Bigoted. Ignorant. Ill informed.

Ok, I'll bite. So when has "I respectfully disagree with [left-wing claim]" is hate speech" ever happened? You must have some examples?

In the made up reality that exists in your paranoid conspiracy filled head only.

The entire kidney.

What complete nonsense.

Just to conclude if anyone is interested, my wife got released from Vibharam today - just four days from the kidney removal surgery. The doctor said he was impressed with her speed of recovery and it was safe for her to go home. Total bill: 231,860 baht. We were initially given an estimate from them of 350k so that is a bonus, and fair play to them for only charging the real costs and not just giving us a bill for 350k (which we would have paid). Really good care, not a single criticism of anything at Vibharam, I was pleasantly surprised. I think this thread can be closed now or just left to die.

Wendy's' gone (long time ago) Denny's gone (long time ago). TGI Friday gone?? Don't remember seeing one for a long time. Planet Hollywood was here for a bit back in the days in Gaysorn Plaza.
