Please throw them out and bar them
OP's mistake was actually being there. Hopefully alone. Married so don't go anywhere without the wife, who I would never even think about going to vendors around Nana with, not that she would accompany into any of them. Enter the tourist ghettos, and it is what it is ... a haven for the lowest of the low. My tolerance level is non-existent of late, so best to avoid completely. -

Thai Taxi Driver Throws Faeces in Parking Dispute, Leaves Community Shocked
Typical behaviour we come to expect from foreign tourists, if they don't like it then let them go home. Oh what? It wasn't another filthy foreigner? Which nationality could ever come up with such fecal Tomfoolery? -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
As I have booked the AION UT, I did some research on GAC AION, as on internet GAC is less known than BYD or MG. GAC is a state owned company with EV global brands AION and Hyptec and joint-ventures with Toyota and Honda, primarily for the Chinese market. GAC Toyota has just launched the bZ3X EV [ https://carnewschina.com/2025/02/01/gac-toyota-bz3x-ev-with-620-km-range-will-launch-on-march-3rd-in-china/ ]. They have 2 type of customers, the ride hailing [e.g. AION S and ES], which is declining, and the end consumer [AION V, Y Plus, Hyptec]. Although they produce AION V in Thailand, they decided to import the AION UT, likely due to unknown demand and excess factory capacity in China. AION UT is not selling as well as the Geely Star Wish. One of the reasons is that GAC decided to produce more of the UT 400 model instead of the cheaper UT 300 [not available in Thailand]. GAC makes their own batteries, the Magazine Battery 2.0 [ https://autonews.gasgoo.com/m/70030001.html ]. The latest in the AION V has 400V 3C fast charging, 4,000 cycles, is module repairable and can suppress thermal runaway if punctured or twisted. For what it's worth, GAC is planning solid state batteries in 2026 [ https://cnevpost.com/2024/04/12/gac-to-equip-hyper-evs-with-all-solid-state-batteries-in-2026/ ]. Chinese users of the AION V are satisfied with the driving capabilities and suspension, even though the rear has a torsion beam, which is characteristic to all AION models [S, V, Y Plus and UT]. Also the ADAS lane keeping is more precise than peers, maybe because GAC is investing heavily in Robotaxi's [ https://www.metal.com/en/newscontent/103085517 ]. On the downside, GAC still have too little dealerships and expertise in Thailand. They say they will extend with 80 this year, but no concrete plans yet where [ https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/release/202503256247 ]. On facebook I can gauge not enough expertise on AC maintenance.

Chinese Tourists' Urination Leads to Pattaya Brawl
Should think themselves lucky, it was a piss in a private place, here in Chiang Mai we get the blatant Chinese defecation directly into the moat- like the launching of a small submarine as it slowly sails away from the shore and hides in the depths ready to attack, such quality.
