Do you wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle in Thailand?
Agree...and big myth is also that you don't need to wear it when near to home. WRONG. An accident can happen at the end of your driveway. Some think you don't need helmet unless you are speeding down the road. WRONG. When your head hits the concrete it will not be a good result even if you are going 5 mph. Sadly there are many many deaths and near deaths all over Thailand every single day that could have been prevented or mitigated somewhat with a good helmet. And of course there is the "it's my business" brigade some of whom have to be taken care of by hospitals or families for decades ruining other people's lives because they could not be bothered to wear a good helmet. -

Amnesty International "It's a Genocide in Gaza"
The one country protecting Israel is the US. Their opinion on someone is biased and doesn't count for more than anyone else's opinion. Except of course they wield their power to protect Israel. -

New Dirty Trick by bank ATMs
You're using a foreign/non-Thai ATM debit card? I used my foreign (U.S.) ATM debit card this week at Bangkok Bank ATM in Central Chitlom (lower floor in the connector to Central Embassy) to withdraw 20,000 THB. I was not presented with any DCC option. I always use a BBL ATM for this type of transaction. 20,220 THB at the daily Visa rate cost me $590.19 (4 Dec). I already had the 220 baht fee rebated at $6.42. So my net cost was $583.77. I use my U.S. credit card (Chase Saphire Preferred) extensively here, mostly via Google Wallet 'Tap-to-Pay'. Always charged in THB, but if I use the physical card I always stipulate that I'll be paying in THB. -

Car recommendations
@Yodarapper I know you're leaning toward an EV now, but I just passed the MG dealer, and had their MG ZS (ICE) promo on display, and have to say, I'd be buying one at ฿559k. Especially since you'll only be here for 3 ish year, I think said. By then the price wars should be over, and even the EV govt incentives maybe, which means when reselling, should get a nice price. No wall charger hassle. No entertaining the kids at CS (charging station), as I think you work, so you'll be traveling O&A on weekends and long weekends, when everyone else is, so I'd expect Qs at the CS. Since I'm one of the EV fanboys, that's saying quite a bit from me.
