... she looks like a real peace of art ... (sorry, coudn't resist)

can some of you (no name calling yet) go back to the topic please: "Electric Vehicles in Thailand"

to take part in creating a corrupt, dishonest, and thieving coalition government ...

i just wondering how do get the 26.04 g? thanks ... (most thai beer have 5% alcohol ...)

according to this simplified formula (not considering factors like body weight or an empty stomach), drinking just one can of thai beer results in 1.32‰ blood alcohol level!!!!! 330ml x 5% ÷ 12.5ml = 1.32‰

the enforcement will be inconsistent, but it doesn't matter, because every DUI that gets punished is a very, very good thing! and hopefully, it wiil save some innocent lives or prevents innocent people from being hurt in an accident because of DUI ...

very strange post ... you defend drinking (a few drinks) and driving and argue that stricter laws would harm the car industry ... confiscating (and selling?) the car isn’t illegal if the law change will allows for it ... after a few drinks (you are calling yourself not drunk?) ... do you even know the legal limit in thailand? if you're over that limit, it's called DUI ... you seem to think it's up to you to decide whether you're drunk or not ... https://magnacarta.co.th/home/faq-section-2/driving-under-the-influence-dui/

but they would lose their down payment and all the monthly payments they've already made ...! i think that alone will hurt the drunk driver, but what's going to hurt even more is the loss of face ... maybe the car finance industry and the government will find a way to create a win-win solution for them ...

that would be a good thing ... people who think they have the right to drink and drive are arrogant, selfish, and reckless. i support making the penalties much tougher! (a long time ago, a good friend of mine, he was only 17 years old, was killed by a such pice of <deleted>, a drunk driver ...)

it seems, some of you didn't catch the sarcasm in my post ... when someone says that 40% or more tinted side windows are good, i think that's a dangerous (and scary) piece of advice! side windows should be tinted no more than 40% ... anything darker is risky to drive in the night ... drive safe to all of you, motdaeng.

you don't need to look left and right if you drive your car ... scary

btw: an electric car is grest for use in cities ... also for toolling around ... electric cars are quiet, produce no tailpipe emissions, and are perfect for short daily trips. they help reduce air pollution and are cheaper to run and maintain compared to petrol or diesel cars ...

"I would like to see the coup masterminds and Thaksin in prison, Thaksin certainly is not innocent, he is the same or worse as the coup masterminds ..." i partly do agree with you ... but you have to start somewhere if you like to change something ... and teflon toni would be a good start ...

it looks really great / sporty with the wider tires ... i like it, well done! to me, the seal looks much better from the outside than my sealion 7, but the interior of my sl7 is just right for me. the sl7 also has more space inside and is easier for an old guy like me to get in and out of ... but that’s just my own personal opinion ...

this is not correct advice. if the current tax regulations are enforced on his transfers, he will be taxed ... only the money saved before 31.12.2023 is not taxable (or money excluded by the DTA). anything saving or earning after that, including transfer for living expenses, is taxable according to the current tax law ... the only loophole is not being a tax resident in the year you remit the money ... or you could wait until the regulations change again, which seems likely to happen later this year ...

... i think all people involved in this case are really sick ... (sorry, i mean corrupt liars with no ethics and no interest in justice ...)

i've now driven over 7,000 km with the byd sealion 7 awd. for us, it's a family-friendly suv that also offers a lot of comfort on longer trips. the interior feels high-quality, and the space gives the impression of a premium vehicle. i'm not a race car driver, but i do enjoy driving a bit sportier from time to time. some sealion 7 owners replace the shock absorbers for better handling, personally, i don't think that's necessary. the 530 horsepower isn't really necessary, but it’s fun and adds to the driving experience, even though we almost always drive in eco mode ... for me, the rwd version was never up for discussion, the temptation to buy a performance suv at this price was just too strong ... the software still has a lot of room for improvement, that’s not just true for the sealion 7, but for all byd models. features like camp mode, dog mode, a more accurate consumption display, or the option for one-pedal driving are still missing ... the safety systems can be adjusted individually. sometimes, they respond in a surprisingly strong and sudden way. you have to figure out for yourself what is necessary and useful. eg. i don’t use the adaptive cruise control (acc), since i rarely drive on highways with clearly marked lanes ... in the city and at speeds under 80 km/h, energy consumption is low and really good. but at higher speeds or during sporty driving, it noticeably higher compared to similar vehicles ... there are definitely some alternatives to the byd sealion 7 that offer better software or more luxury (but for a higher price as well). but for me, this car is exactly the right choice ...

sorry to ask, but what exactly never happen? 😔

what's the point of having a beer, glass of fine, go for holiday, even having a old toyota vios ... and so on? because some people enjoy it, and can afford it and it's worth for them ... there's nothing wrong about that ... 🙂 i think everyone does accept that a new expensive car is not worth in your view, therefore you should try to accept for others it is worth to spend a little extra money for a premium car ... wishing you all a safe and enjoyable journey ...

i like his videos. his videos are informative and, most importantly, honest without hiding any weaknesses of his ev. he owns the byd sealion 7, just like i do, and i agree with his view ... every car has room for improvement, no car is 100% perfect. overall, in my opinion, the byd sealion 7 awd is a great car and i love to drive it ...

i do believe that the average foreigner doesn't transfer that much money to thailand, since for most people, around 500,000 thb is "tax-free" anyway, and there is also the TDA. the exceptions, of course, are foreigners (maybe more than 10,000 per year?) who like to buy land, houses, or condos, those need transfer larger amounts ... it also looks like most foreigners ignored the new tax regulation (from 2024) and didn't reduce their yearly transfers ... so no impact ... i think the real reason the flow of (big) money from abroad has dropped is because wealthy thais, companies, and others (chinese?) can no longer take advantage of this loophole in the tax system , and not because of us foreigners who just want to enjoy our pensions here ...

but that sharp drop in remittances (i haven't seen any actual numbers or facts) is probably not because of us foreigners who, due to the "adjusted tax law," are supposedly sending less money to thailand ... i rather suspect, if the claim is even true, that it's thais (companies, etc.) who have stopped transferring money into thailand ... or maybe this whole new thing is just a temporary (2-year) distraction to give certain influential thais more time to continue their illegal activities ... in all this chaos and with the changing tax laws, everyone is losing track... and nobody knows what rules will even apply in the coming years... what a hopeless banana republic!

prove it ... with some pic's ... you and your gf together ...

my advice: don’t close any existing bank account. you never know, you might need it in the future ... just keep a few thousand baht in it ...
