  1. why is he not being charged and convicted for bribing doctors and pretending to be sick to avoid his reduced prison sentence? a big big shame on the thai justice system ...
  2. by now, most people clearly know who cannot be trusted ... not trusted at all ...
  3. the revenue department may ask you to show how you pay for your living, like rent, food, car expenses and so on ... at the end you need to satisfy the TRD ...
  4. interesting perspective. you call people who follow laws and regulations (as an expat in thailand) dump. your post actually reveals quite a bit about who you are ... doesn't it?
  5. are you taking about your own experience ... or is this your own fantasy?
  6. i agree, some criminal foreigners put themselves here in thailand in the spotlight instead of staying unnoticed and behaving discreetly ... :-)
  7. zeekr seems now also confusing customers with a strange pricing strategy, similar to many other chinese electric vehicle manufacturers ... 🙂
  8. ... not many any single positions of power go unmilked here ...
  9. some points in your post are quite understandable. however, how will the tax authority in your home country or in thailand suppose to know that, based on your income / asset situation, you do not have to pay taxes if you do not file a tax return?
  10. my home banks requested my thai tax id years ago to comply with OECD data exchange standards (otherwise they will close my accounts). it is surprising that more western financial institutions do not require this, as the risk of tax evasion for those claiming residency in thailand is clearly very high ... i think there is no need to call any member-names on this topic, especially not those who follow the tax laws in their home country and in thailand ...
  11. for the average ev driver, charging speed isn't the main thing. other factors matter more! most owners usually just charge at home anyway ... and don't go on a road trip every week ... last week i took my ls7 awd on a 4-day road trip (1'921km) deep into isaan. charging was no problem at all, and with a real range of around 500 km, it was another easy, comfy, and relaxing trip. the ls7 is perfect for that, even with four people and a lot of luggage ...
  12. animals ... they should stay where they came from ...
  13. doesn't this also apply to america? most people are good, but the us government is evil ... 😕
  14. if the land purchase and the deed transfer were done at the land office, and there was no mortgage to pay off beforehand and no entries on the back of the chanote, then everything is legal ... it looks more like someone is trying to use intimidation tactics. depending on how it goes, your friend could report them to the police for harassment and coercion ...
  15. ... this reminds me of uncle tu ... he ordered the pm 2.5 pollution to stop within two weeks ... TIT 😅
  16. thailand has double tax agreements (DTA) with 61 countries. all of these are different and need to be looked at separately. some DTA are favorable for expats living in thailand, while others offer basically no benefits at all ... https://www.rd.go.th/english/766.html
  17. you call it flawed methodology? i call it an easy way to avoid a dangerous and frequent cause of rear-end collisions!!!
  18. to measure the two-second rule, pick a stationary object (like a sign or a tree) and ensure that at least two seconds pass from the moment the car ahead passes it until your own vehicle reaches the same spot ... very simple ... and in rainy or difficult conditions, use the 4 second rule!
  19. the following distance in meters for the 2-second rule depends on the vehicle's speed. at 50 km/h, you should maintain a gap of 27.78 m ... this corresponds to approximately 6 car lengths! at 100 km/h, the gap increases to 55.56 m ... this corresponds to approximately 12 car lengths! at 120 km/h, it reaches 66.67 m ... this corresponds to approximately 15 car lengths!
  20. tailgating is when a driver follows another vehicle too closely and doesn't leave enough room to stop safely if the car in front hits the brakes ... my simple rule: stay at least 2 seconds behind!
  21. it is important to me that i can make my own decisions while driving so i can arrive safely. this includes my speed, overtaking, my driving style, looking ahead, and reacting early to dangers. these points, plus a bit of luck in some situations, help me drive over 40 years without any accidents in many different countries and continents ... however, tailgating here in thailand puts me in a situation where i feel like "coercion" to me and where i and my family are "forced" into unnecessary danger cause of a brainless idiot tailgating us! when it is possible, i pull over to the side and let the reckless tailgater pass ...
  22. i actually thought the opposite, that government employees and the military are happy with the elections because their positions have been strengthened ... or am i making a mistake in my thinking here?
  23. @Pib thank you very much for your detailed explanation und your experiance about the consumption data ... it is a pity that byd does not provide more precise data regarding consumption, like many other ev manufacturers do. even i'm really happy with my sealion 7, i'd rate byd's software as "modest." i wonder why the world's largest bev manufacturer doesn't offer its customers a modern and high-quality software solution ...
  24. i just had the one-year service done on my sealion 7 awd. everything is fine, but i am confused about the consumption data: - my car trip computer shows 15.6 kwh/100km over 18,000 km (is this exclude extras like air conditioning???). - the service report lists "accumulated charge energy" of 4,173 kwh (does that include regeneration?), which equals 23.18 kwh/100km!?!? - my own excel sheet shows that i charged a total of 3,412 kwh (this is including charging losses etc ), which equals 19.00 kwh/100km! i trust my own records (with charging losses but without regeneration) the most! have any of you also received such contradictory consumption values for your byd?
  25. ... it is translated with google, and personal information has been removed ...
