A Poll - Do you like the Down-Thumb emoji?
Yes it is a bit strange. Even stranger as a supposed grown man you are so concerned about emojis. The only reason they are included is for the children on the forum. -

True. In his case he declared himself to be the PM. No election. Not democracy. -

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
A Bangkok Post 10 June 2025 article...see link below for full article.....a few key paragraphs extracted from the article are quoted below. Sales for new and used vehicles is looking worst for this year (2025) according to the Fast Auto Show organizers. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/3046407/car-industry-seeks-easier-loans-amid-weak-sales Car industry seeks easier loans amid weak sales Fast Auto Show organizers say slowdown could worsen if lenders remain wary PUBLISHED : 10 Jun 2025 at 18:10 Thai automobile sales executives are urging the government to quickly devise new measures that could nudge banks to grant more auto loans to prospective buyers, seeking to lift both the new and used car markets. The Thai automotive market remains critically weak as banks and car financing companies have maintained their strict lending criteria to avoid non-performing loans as household debt remains elevated. Both new and used vehicle markets will continue to slow this year under these circumstances, according to the industry. Car sales in Thailand last year reached the lowest level in 14 years at 572,675 units, a year-on-year decrease of 26%. Without help from the government, domestic car sales are likely to keep slowing down in the second half of this year, said Mr Asadavut. He expects total car sales in the country to be lower than 520,000 in 2025, attributed to buyers’ difficulties obtaining auto loans, weak consumer purchasing power and the sluggish economy. Prices of used internal combustion engine (ICE) cars have already fallen by 50% as electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more popular, said Pinyo Tanawatcharaporn, the owner of the second-hand car company Yo Ratchada and former president of the Association of Used Car Dealers. The prices of certain EV brands continue to decrease, causing people not to buy used ICE cars, he said.
