  1. i wouldn't be surprised if thaksin claimed the doctors told him he was become suddenly very sick, and he just believed them ... so not his fault, he wouldn't do something illegally like that, to play sick to avoid prison time ...
  2. that would be just lovely ... but yeah, not going to happen. he'll be off to dubai again before anything real happens, crying about how the court is just playing politics and how he was really "seriously ill ... " ... and of course, his buffalo crowd will lap it all up, like always ...
  3. but they're not ... they cheer the corrupt and rich people more than honest and modest people ... sad but true
  4. 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 ...
  5. 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 ...
  6. 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 ...
  7. 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 ...
  8. 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 ... )
  9. 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 ...
  10. 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 ...
  11. 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 ...
  12. 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 ...
  13. 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 ...
  14. 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?
  15. 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 ...
  16. air purifiers really make a difference ... definitely worth buying ... have a look at this ....
  17. are these numbers from a reliable source (not trump or musk, of course) and confirmed? if that's the case, and this DOGE decisions are a long-term solution without major backlash, then i have to ask myself: what exactly did the trump administration do during his first term 8 years ago?
  18. that's a good point. i didn't take that into consideration ... i have to give it a try (plug and charge via car settings?) ... thank you! i used the reversecharger to charge about 3 months ago, and i paid with the wallet. it worked fine back then ... an other promotion ... :
  19. if you're driving a long distance and need to charge your electric car, and there's a byd reversharger along the way, do you use it or do you prefer other charging stations? what has your experience been like with byd reversharger? thanks a lot for your feedback, motdaeng
  20. that's good to know, we all do believe that everything will be fine ... 😕 hopefully a very strong earthquake will never happen close to this krabi dam ... otherwise the true resilience could be deadly ... and as always, no one will take responsibility ...
  21. that must be fake news ... the 10k handout to millions of people (meant to fulfill a campaign promise, or let's be honest, a vote-buying scheme) was supposed to stimulate the economy ... but as expected, it seems to have done nothing ... except bring the thaksin clan back to power ... ... as they say, every country gets the government it deserves ...
  22. sorry, but it seems like you're either trolling, being very naive, or still not thinking things through seriously. many people have already given you advice, yet you're still trying to find someone who will agree with your plan that simply won't work in the long term ...
