New Alcohol Control Bill Nearly Finalised
New Alcohol Control Bill Nearly Finalised Thailand's Alcoholic Beverage Control Bill is 80% complete and expected to be presented to parliament by mid-December. The legislation consolidates five initial drafts into a single proposal after eight months of review. Key features include empowering provincial committees to establish zoning and regulations tailored to local needs, with youth council representatives included to address underage drinking. The bill targets rising alcohol consumption, particularly among women, and includes strict penalties for selling to minors or intoxicated individuals. Parliament is expected to prioritize this public health-focused legislation in the December session. -

There are still various subsidies in place for EV for this year until the end of 2027 under the BEV 3.5 incentive policy they are divided into 2 sections 1) Passenger Bev For both imported and locally assembled passenger BEVs based on battery sizes and price 2) For BEV pick-up trucks and e-motorcycles (locally assembled ones only): for pick-up trucks based on weight price and battery size Passenger Bev subsidy is reducing each year while Thailand built BEV pick-up trucks and e-motorcycles for subsidy remains the same for the period 2024- until end of 2027 This article contains all the details on the various subsidies https://www.ey.com/en_gl/technical/tax-alerts/thailand---subsidies--duties--excise-tax-incentives-to-encourage The entire car market in Thailand has changed in the case of the used car market there has been huge increase over the past 2 years of repossessions which has had an knock on affect to the used car market due to oversupply of additional cars entering the used car market and banks and finance companies selling those vehicles for whatever they are offered and then going after the original purchaser or the guarantor if the sale of the vehicle doesn't cover the outstanding balance when we look at car buyers in Thailand they should be divided into 2 groups Expats and Thai Majority of expats normally pay for their vehicles in cash while the majority of Thai nationals tend to finance their vehicle purchase Some Thai nationals will pay cash and likewise some expats will pay for their vehicles via finance however I supect they are in the minority In the past people would keep their vehicles for 4/5 years received a reasonable trade in value for their vehicle and used that for the down payment on a new vehicle Banks and finance companies are now asking for down payments of between 25% upwards as they are concerned about NPL ( repossessions ) I have seen many reports in the facebook groups of people deciding to keep their existing vehicles longer due to the low offer they have received on their trade-ins over the next few years we should find out how long batteries last as between this year and 2032 there are over 20 million ev's in china where there battery warranty has ended Nio's William Li urges more focus on battery life as warranties expire on nearly 20 million NEVs over next 8 years Li said batteries with lifetimes of up to 15 years are technically feasible, but it will take a concerted effort by the entire industry to advance the goal. https://cnevpost.com/2024/03/17/nio-william-li-urges-more-focus-on-battery-life/ In the USA Nissan has started a buyback scheme as batteries are failing within the 8 year warranty period and Nissan are having problems sourcing replacement batteries with some owners reporting waiting for 12 months or longer Just received a call from Nissan offering a repurchase for my 2016 SV Nissan leaf 30kwh, said new battery might take 6 months to a year, has anyone with the same vehicle taken the repurchase ?

Elon Musk reportedly creating tension within Donald Trump’s inner circle
She did not "issue" anything she just read what Gaetz's lawyer sent her. 😀 Standard operating procedure in media to read statements from lawyers. -

British Tourist Attacked in Pattaya: Nose Broken, Eye Bruised; Authorities on the Hunt
Was he ??? how ??? He was drunk, it has not been reported that he was behaving poorly, agressively or disrespectfully etc ??? And you are right, they didnt need to 'respect him'... but neither did they need to beat him up... I tend to agree - but that still does not justify a beating - the two Thai guys were not defending themselves - this seems like an attack. -

Biden lifts restrictions on Ukraine using US weapons to strike deep inside Russia.
OK, over that period, the Ruble has decreased. Not as much as if you go back all the way to 2008, so, over time, things have deteriorated for the Ruble. In 2008, Russia had a war with Georgia and continues to occupy some of that territory, the the world had a financial crisis that was papered over. Lots of factors came into play to weaken the Ruble. How has this decline affected the people inside Russia? Russia has oil and natural gas. Russia has minerals. Russia has food. It seems almost like a closed system. -
