so, if this people don't do the 90-day report 4 times in one year, they will have to pay a fine of 4 x 2,000 thb!!! you seem to know some unusual and very clever people ... for most people of us, it's best to follow the rules and not ignore them, especially if you plan to live in thailand long-term.

what does a year's worth of bank statements look like? i have a "pra-jam" bank book, and for years, it automatically makes 12 fixed deposits. there are no withdrawals, only the interest at the end of the term ... a one year statement will look exactly like my bank book ...!? -

Advice on supporting family please
motdaeng replied to peterinblackpool's topic in Family and Children
why isn’t your wife financially supporting her sister? does your wife have her own money or a job? -
many foreigners still consider chiang mai the best place to live in thailand. it's hard to believe, but true ... who would willingly move to a city known for traffic jams and extremely unhealthy air during the burning season ... you have to wonder what goes through people's minds when they move to a city known for its extreme air pollution ... and then talk about having a good quality of life in chiang mai ... unbelievable ...

ThaiHealth Forum Urges Enhanced Child Road Safety Measures
motdaeng replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
from experience, we all know that such safte measures in thailand often start but fade away within a few weeks ... unfortunately, this is the harsh truth and reality in thailand ... nothing will improve for a lasting solution ... parents also should care about their children's safety, but they don't! in many cases, they actually set a bad example when it comes to safety, they just don't care as long nothing happen ... but if something happen the blame game starts ... -
EV Owners … Real life experience & help thread
motdaeng replied to KhunLA's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
i'm not a finance expert or a business expert... but isn't it normal for every new car company to face years of losses before making profits? the investment costs for a startup can easily reach a few billions of dollars... tesla took about 15 years to produce at a profit, and now no one talks about that as a bad business decision ... is there a different to the chinese ev car markers? -
Thailand Probes Thaksin's Alleged Political Manipulation
motdaeng replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
the whole situation really reminds me of 2006. back then, khun toni also thought he could do whatever he wanted, and no one could stop him. it's very possible this story will repeat itself ... what an arrogant and selfish person / family ...- 56 replies

Expats in Thailand urged not to worry about negative income tax
motdaeng replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
to improve the living conditions of the poorest people, different approaches are needed. corruption must be tackled consistently, starting with all government officials. a fair justice system must be established, and equal opportunities for everyone must be ensured, including for the "ordinary people" ... simply giving money to low-income earners or to the poor is not a long-term solution. in a developing country with widespread corruption, trying to create a "welfare solution" only leads to more injustices and more chances for corruption ...- 120 replies

best alternative to a fixline internet provider
motdaeng replied to motdaeng's topic in IT and Computers
first of all, thank you for the responses and suggestions. it seems like we are not the only one facing this issue ... quick update: yesterday, while i wasn't at home, the internet company installed agian a new router (no. 3) and made some adjustments to the settings. it looks like the 'connection problem with various devices' has been now resolved. hopefully, this will be a long-term solution ... we're actually quite satisfied with the service from this internet provider (a government-owned company). they respond quickly and make an effort to find a prompt solution. internet speed isn't so important to us, but reliability and a stable connection definitely are ... thank's agian, motdaeng -

I Quit my Job to Drive Electric Trucks

My Next E-Truck Arrived! - Scania 40R and 4MW Charging Park ... -
at my house, there’s only one internet provider available, and no competitors are allowed to operate within the residential community. this provider has been trying to resolve a wifi connecting issue for weeks now, without success. the problem isn’t the speed, but around 8 different devices can’t connect at all to the wifi or only stay connected for a few hours (including a new vivo phone, all apple devices, xiaomi cctv, tv, etc.). but the same internet landline works through a wifi hotspot (via phone), but this is just a temporary solution. the strange thing is, we didn’t have any issues with the same devices and the same provider for several years ... what alternatives are there? does anyone have experience with routers that use a sim card? is satellite wifi an option? maybe other advice? thank's, motdaeng

CNG and LPG vehicles face crackdown after tragic school bus fire
motdaeng replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
thailand faces one major issue: corruption! regardless of the area that needs urgent improvement, deeply entrenched corruption, often passively accepted by many thai people, obstructs progress. thailand's biggest battle was and will be against corruption, as everything is interconnected. without addressing or at least reducing corruption, nothing will improve in the long term ... it has nothing to do with a lack of education or not existing laws; it's purely about corruption!- 77 replies

Royal Funeral Service for School Bus Fire Victims
motdaeng replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
unfortunately, not much will change again, at least not in the long run. the same can be said for countless other similar tragic events involving deaths and other disasters ... anyone who chooses to live in thailand must accept that human lives, health, nature, etc. hold little value, and nothing will change that ... it is so sad but the true! -

a battery warranty of 8 years don't mean the battery has to be replaced or can not be used anymore ... it's the same as for a ice car, after the warranty you still can use the car as normal as before -

motdaeng replied to stratocaster's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
from what i know, some companies are now offering battery warranties longer than 8 years. many studies show that newer batteries can last up to 600,000 km or more. @vinny41 is the expert on ev data. i’m sure that as batteries continue to improve, ev-haters will have to find a new reason to criticize them ...
