why always thai women pay at the cashier?
ohhh boy, you must be new here, in case you didn't know/notice, here we are called walking ATM machines 555 On that perspective… - Driver (child to & from school) - Cook (excellent food) - Does all the grocery shopping - Given up a good career (after child) - lots more that I forget…. Whats ours is ours for very good reasons - a trusted life partner who’s sacrificed a lot…. Some of the comments don’t see things firing that perspective because they may not have been in the same situation… … but it’s also clear many are in mutually caring, mutually respectful & loving relationships who do get the ‘sharing concept’… Without my wife, my life would be a lot more expensive - child care alone… -

Transport Bangkok to Revamp Public Transit with Electric Buses
Bangkok is set to transform its public transport system with the introduction of electric buses, leaving behind its old diesel fleet. The Cabinet has approved a 15.35 billion baht plan, spearheaded by the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA), to lease electric vehicles over the next seven years. This significant move shifts the focus from the outdated 2012 plan to procure 3,183 natural gas vehicles, a decision highlighted by Deputy Government Spokesperson Anukool Pruksanusak. "This new plan reflects a shift toward clean energy and long-term sustainability for public transport in Bangkok," said Anukool. The plan allocates 10.1 billion baht for leasing the buses, 3.2 billion baht for maintenance, and 967 million baht for charging stations. Initial funding of 368.4 million baht will be provided from the current fiscal year’s budget, with additional funds distributed between 2026 and 2031. The BMTA aims to retire 1,520 old diesel buses, replacing them with an eco-friendly fleet to promote cleaner commuting. Beyond environmental benefits, the programme is projected to generate 52.65 billion baht in revenue over seven years, through fares and advertising, with an expected profit of 19.85 billion baht. This initiative promises to improve the daily commute for Bangkok’s citizens, addressing longstanding issues with smoke-belching, breakdown-prone vehicles. Officials anticipate smoother rides, enhanced air quality, and a revitalised image for public transport in the city. While it’s not yet clear when these electric buses will start operating, the plan's approval marks a significant leap forward. Whether the ambitious forecasts will be met, and real improvements realised, remains to be seen, but Bangkok is making a decisive move towards an electric future.

I'm sorry if someone didn't like my attitude but I respect everyone's life. It's just that I couldn't handle with a marriage life, it's not for me honestly. Marriage is a contract and in Thailand is not easy at all, because of diversity and the culture. I've not the mindset for all this. I prefer being single, maybe just a girlfriend if it happens but nothing more
