to rent a house for 10-20,000 thb is not a big problem; but prices depend on the location. however, a 5,000 m2 plot is more than 3 rai, which will be hard to find and typically requires employing a gardener ... (will cost you 5 - 10'000 thb per month)

i don't agree because, for most Thai people, this lump sum will not last a lifetime. thais do struggle with handling or budgeting money. i'm fairly sure that some of them would end up in debt within a few years time ...

keep in mind that car sellers aren't always the most trustworthy people, whether in thailand or your home country ... but i am sure, you know that already ...

i wonder if there is anything written in thailand's tax regulations or laws about children paying taxes. for example, if a child has 10 million in a bank account and receives 300,000 in interest every year, what are the tax implications? also, what about older people who are "incompetent", such as those with dementia, and have no guardians here in thailand?

i do agree, the poor people should be supported. but everything has to be seen in relation: the poor are using (e.g.) 150 units per month and the price increases by 50 satang, resulting in a 75 thb increase in the monthly bill...

your opinion seems neither based on experience nor knowledge. can you tell us about your background? thank you!

ev's are produced and sold worldwide, it's not just china. what specific inside knowledge do you have eg. about Tesla and other car companies from germany and eu countries producing and selling ev's? it seems like you might not have a comprehensive understanding of ev mobility, and perhaps you haven't owned or even driven an ev car yourself ... are you an expert?

a selfish, ruthless piece of sh...! probably it was not his first time drinking and driving! stories like this get me upset. he deserves the 17 years and 3 months...!

i was talking about the low-quality (the desing and hard to read) immigration forms and not about your JPG's ...

i do agree with you. but immigration staff should know at least basic english! btw. my spoken thai is just fine, my reading level was 20 years ago much better ...

does that mean you need to go to all of your banks every year to update your cellphone number for mobile banking access?

i would feel embarrassed using these low-quality thai immigration forms; their design and readability are at a kindergarten level. also, why are they in both thai and english, when only foreigners have to fill them out?

pay the 60,000 thb (with a witness present) to expedite the process. after you receive the citizenship, go back and inquire about this paid money ...

thank's to the global moderator! as was said before, it's best: "don't feed a anti ev-troll ..." (like EOW)

to reduce prices like this is not the wisest move from byd. i understand why customers are upset. some thoughts: the current situation in the car industry is unprecedented. it affects not only electric vehicles but also ice vehicles. prices for new and used cars are falling. byd entered thailand as one of the first car companies to offer good bev cars at a decent price. but now, there are a few other players in the same category, so byd reacted by reducing prices. byd now also has a factory in thailand, and in the next few months, they will bring new models to the thai market. another reason for the price reduction is that the cost of batteries is still falling, as predicted! the price reduction (or price war) has many reasons, but i still think byd went one step too far. they could have done it better, not so aggressively.

what could possibly go wrong with this great idea?

maybe at the airport ... (why don't you tell what city your looking for ...)

that's new to me. how reliable is this source? https://www.pattayamail.com/latestnews/news/new-tax-rules-for-foreign-sourced-income-464735

it happened to me as well, but different banks ... the staff always struggle to finde the right stamp in my passport ... nothing to worry about, TIT

here we are ... there are many more ... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv26j5n5wj3o https://www.nbclosangeles.com/local-2/alleged-dui-driver-charged-with-murder-after-hitting-teen-girl-in-newport-beach/3423978/

so imagine for a moment, if a drunk driver took the life of someone close to you, perhaps your beloved young daugther. could you ever forgive them, let alone tell them, "don't worry mate, accidents happen. i myself drink and drive 3 times per week since many years ..." this kind of thinking is what puts countless lives at risk. why do so many people seem to have this attitude?

one of my foreign neighbors drives every day late afternoon into the city, meeting his drinking friends at a bar. after drinking a few beers, he drives back home, about 20 km. everyone knows he drinks every day and gets drunk quite often. if he is drunk it can get easily out of controll. why do so many foreigners here in thailand think it is their right to drink and drive? what do these kinds of people think? why do these people always defend their drink and driving habit? if an accident happens, innocent people get injured or killed, but these selfish and ruthless farangs just don't care. it is a shame, the police does not much (or better nothing) against it ... btw, about 45 years ago, a friend of mine was killed by a drunken driver.

unfortunately, there are hardly any rich families in thailand (and many other countries) who are not in the same boat ...

i asked chat gpt about this video : The video "Broken EVs Head Straight to Junkyards As Repair Costs Are Unbearable!" from Chase Car highlights concerns about the high repair costs of electric vehicles (EVs) leading many to be scrapped instead of repaired. While it's true that some EVs can have expensive repairs, particularly for battery replacements, it's not universally the case. The video might be emphasizing extreme cases or specific models to make a broader point. The reality is more nuanced, with repair costs varying widely depending on the EV model and the nature of the damage. For more detailed and balanced information, it's important to look at a variety of sources, including manufacturer data and independent repair cost analyses.
