ICE vs EV, the debate thread
Its more likely that an EV automaker will fold before any of the Japanese legacy automakers If you look at numbers the lion's share of the market is still for ICE vehicles -

Do Thais really attack foreigners for no reason?
I'm not sure they're as rare as you've mentioned. Two incidents already recently, though both of them occurred in Pattaya. Another one in Khon Kaen a few years ago, described by someone on this forum (not sure if it made the news): he was walking back to his car with his wife after an evening meal in the vicinity of the lake when they were approached by a group of racists, who made a derogatory remark about her, since she married a foreigner. He said something back (in Thai) and was attacked for it. Ended up in hospital. Sadly, it is a reality in Thailand, though I consider places like Pattaya to be far more dangerous than Bangkok or upcountry Thailand as you only hear of occasional incidents like this occurring I the "real" Thailand. It also depends where you go - never go to a Thai bar, whether in Bangkok or upcountry. Don't go to a cock fight as a farang. Drive places, don't walk (except short distances or in very touristy areas, where it's safe). Stay in more upmarket lodging. Don't rent dorms in working class neighborhoods. I'm not worried about getting randomly beaten up by a group of Thai teens like happened to two unrelated European men in Pattaya recently but that's because, other than the occasional quick shopping trip during the day, I don't go to Pattaya. When I've stayed there overnight, it's been at good hotels with safe parking and only for a night before moving on to my next destination or returning home. I don't frequent bars. Overall, I'm more of a Hua Hin guy - I frequent Hua Hin much more than Pattaya and it feels much safer there. -

Three Palestinian babies freeze to death in Gaza as winter sets in
I wouldn't want them in my home country. They teach their children to hate Jews and seem to agree with their elected representatives. Hamas! I'm sure most were very happy on Oct. 7. No thanks. You can have them.- 1

Actually it was UNRWA that confirmed the data is wrong and agreed with the US officials rather than the report. -

Drunken Foreign Couple Causes Chaos at Pattaya Hotel, Woman Detained After Fleeing
All a bit of a storm in a D-Cup. You can see stuff like this on any weekend, in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and so on. Was funny taking the mick, but it's really a big nothing. -

Translation Thai to English and official stamp
Not sure about Chang Mai location to get authentic as I am in Bangkok. You get your Thailand birth certificate translated into English by a services recognized by your embassy. Your enbassy has a list of approved Thai translators. Then you take the original and translated birth certificate to the MFA office in Thailand to get the authentic stamp. In Bangkok you go to the attached office at Chang Wattana. I would guess Chang Mai has an MFA office also.
