31% of Thais eye battery electric vehicles as next car choice
GroveHillWanderer replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
That's definitely not the impression given by you saying, "he says it is the worst decision he every made to buy a EV car"? Were you being deliberately disingenuous, or just accidentally? -
31% of Thais eye battery electric vehicles as next car choice
GroveHillWanderer replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Your friend seems to have ignored one of the main points about owning an EV which has been mentioned over and over again in this thread (as well as in many articles found elsewhere) which is that if you don't have at-home charging, then an EV is probably not the best choice for you. -
British-Thai Dual National First Passport
GroveHillWanderer replied to Jenkins9039's topic in Family and Children
This. Having a UK passport does not imply any tax liability. I've held a UK passport since I got my first one at age 14 and I haven't paid UK tax since 1981 when I became non-resident for tax purposes. Conversely, if you're resident and earning taxable income in the UK (and don't have non-dom status) you'll have to pay UK taxes even if you don't hold a UK passport. -
Son with thai and EU passport??
GroveHillWanderer replied to beammeup's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It's not been explicitly stated but it seems he probably wants to stay in Thailand longer (and with less bureaucratic requirements) than he would be able to do so at present, having entered on a non-Thai passport. -

Not sure about that: WHAT’S A MELO MELO PEARL AND WHY IS IT SO VALUABLE? -
What's the point of a mug shot where only the person's eyes are visible? The normal purpose of a mug shot is both to allow law enforcement to have a photographic record of an arrested individual, and to allow for identification by victims, the public and investigators. This mug shot serves neither purpose.

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
GroveHillWanderer replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I don't imagine it's the cheapest EV around but at least the range-extended versions with a 1,100 km range would allay a lot of people's range anxiety. -
Unidentified Foreign Man Dies After Motorbike Crash in Pattaya
GroveHillWanderer replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Silly question perhaps, but if he's unidentified and had no papers on him, how can they be sure he's a foreigner? There's people from all different kinds of ancestry and racial backgrounds with Thai nationality nowadays. -
Son with thai and EU passport??
GroveHillWanderer replied to beammeup's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That is untrue. My daughter has both Thai and UK passports and has on more than one occasion (after acquiring a Thai passport) entered on her UK passport. Also, she had Thai nationality (and a Thai ID card) for several years before bothering to get a Thai passport, so during that time, she couldn't have entered on a Thai passport even if she'd wanted to. -
Are the details of this confirmed yet? It's been two days but I still can't see anything about this on any media outlet other than the New York Post.

Somebody said that, but it's not true. The age of majority in the UK is 18. Teenagers in Scotland have some increased rights at age 16 (the right to get married, for instance) but even there, the age of full majority is still 18. As stated on the UK Law Reform Commission's website: The Law Relating To The Age Of Majority

I think many banks operate a grandfather system. I know mine (NatWest International) does. I've had an account with them for over 30 years (it was originally RBS International but they switched all personal accounts to NatWest a few years ago) and I've been able to keep the account I always had but I can't open any new accounts with them - I asked just last year.

As the Prussian statesman and architect of the unification of Germany, Otto von Bismarck once said: While I don't like the lèse majesté law, I don't think it's the main problem facing Thailand today. If Pita and the MFP could moderate their stance and just go for limits on how it is used and for which cases it's applicable, that would (IMHO) serve the greater good, if it would allow for the formation of a non military-dominated government that would better reflect the will of the people as expressed through the ballot box.

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
GroveHillWanderer replied to KhunLA's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
The various problems with lithium availability (and mining practices) are why so many people are researching alternatives. Here's an article outlining 7 possible alternatives to lithium for EV batteries. 7 Lithium Battery Alternatives These all sound quite promising, however as the article points out: -
When they are direct, verbatim quotes from Comer (which they were) and moreover, were given to a Fox News host during an interview, then I'm not sure how it matters who's reporting on it.

Various commentators have pointed out that the most notable moments from this event were probably the numerous statements made by Trump that may well serve to deepen his legal jeapordy. He said things that would have prosecutors on the January 6 and Mar-a-Lago documents cases pricking their ears up and repeated his defamatory language against E. Jean Carroll - a move that could see her suing him again. How Trump’s CNN Town Hall Remarks Put Him in Greater Legal Peril

Whereabouts in Hua Hin, do you know? I've already asked at the government hospital for instance, and they didn't have it there.

And when pressed on this in an interview with CNN, Comer admitted straight up that they hadn't found anything illegal. Republican committee chair trying to dig up dirt on Biden admits they’ve come up dry
