  1. but they're not ... they cheer the corrupt and rich people more than honest and modest people ... sad but true
  2. that's an interesting point, thanks for the input. a few years ago, i spoke with a retired bank manager from a government bank (gsb). she told me that she has to pay tax on her pension because she was a government employee, unlike pensions from private companies. whether this is accurate and what the tax regulations actually say would be interesting to find out. many people refer to the DTA and claim that no tax needs to be paid on their pension. the fact that even among tax advisors there's no consensus on how to interpret some of the 61 DTA's, this is one other unresolved issue ... from my point of view, the thai tax department has handled the entire situation very unprofessionally. instead of providing clarity on at least some key questions, there is widespread confusion about how the tax regulations are being (differently) interpreted ...
  3. i agree with you ... the consumption data from the car are not very useful or trustable ... i've got my own numbers for the byd sealion 7 awd based on kwh charging, which also includes charging losses ...
  4. ptt ev station pluz charges 7.90 baht per kwh during on-peak hours and 6.60 baht per kwh during off-peak hours. ptt charging hub prices are slightly higher ... if you want something cheaper, try using a pea 25 or 50 kw charging station during off-peak hours. last week, i used a 25 kw dc-charger for 5.3 baht per kwh (off-peak), because there was a pea station right next to where i was staying for a few days, and the nearest fast charger was 60 km away .... @Andrew Dwyer ... ptt has increased the prices ...
  5. tesla björn did some sunday driving with the byd sealion 7 awd and got a low consumption of 13.0 kwh per 100 km. to be honest, there’s a reason he called it sunday (slow) driving ... https://youtu.be/6vM5l6Nh_p0?si=RsSjQfw3JuKLkKWi i’ve also seen low numbers like that with my sealion 7 awd in city traffic, but on the highway, even with a modest driving style in eco mode, the consumption is usually closer to 18–19 kwh per 100 km ...
  6. what Will B Good is describing happen nearly on daily basis and not over a period of 4 years ... that trump is a shabby and disgraceful person is one thing, but that so many us americans still support him and think he is great, that is really disturbing ... (for most no us citizen ... )
  7. no scaremongering at all, that are facts, written in the tax regulations / tax law ... if you prefer to follow it or not, that's your own decision because you seems be a grown up already ...
  8. the 19.00 and 19.30 slots are not booked and can not be booked anymore because you are too late (booking must be made min 15 min before). this two slots are walk in ... the 22.00 and 20.30 slots are booked .. (off peak price 555) ... maybe i am wrong, but that's the way i do interpret the booking system ...
  9. that's only partly correct ... even with a DTA , for some countries the whole or a part of the pension can be taxable in thailand ...
  10. how do you see if a slot is booked at the moment you try to charge? i think, the light grey slot is free or occupied and not bookable anymore, the darker grey are the booked slots ...
  11. as far as i know, the app will show you that this slot is already booked and will not let you start charging until the 5-minute grace period has passed. i guess you saw "your" grey-colored time slot, which means this slot cannot be booked anymore. i think you need to book at least 15 minutes in advance; otherwise, it will be treated as a walk-in (also grey colored time slot). sometimes it's hard to find the right explanation why the charging isn't working ... just give it next time another try .. last time, i had also a moment of struggle, till i realised i had to lock the car before charging will start ...
  12. we have seen in the past few years that, for example, rules in the banking sector have become stricter, even in thailand. this is probably an undisputed fact. i agree with you, thailand likes to create its own rules, but most of the time, these are not in favor of foreigners who live here all year round. the next few years will show which direction all of this is going ... smokes and mirrors?
  13. t looks like you're the one spreading speculation ... the TRD has officially published and informed (see below) about the new interpretation of the tax regulation, and no change in the law is needed for that. for now it seems there will be no enforcement when it comes to paying taxes. whether this lack of enforcement will last long-term is doubtful. thailand will have to follow global banking rules and tax laws in the future ...
  14. air purifiers really make a difference ... definitely worth buying ... have a look at this ....
