Electric Vehicles in Thailand
I understand this, but do you always check before if the charging station is available, or do you stop wherever you want and are lucky 90% of the time. With my ICE, the only thing I check is if they have Amazon coffee branch ... 😉 Just asking for information. -

Why is there this kind of "impossible communication" between farang and thais ?
Strange, I have been in Thailand over 30 years with some years in the 70's 90's and almost all of the years of this century and I have yet to experience anything like that. Whenever I go into any store and need something that i do not immediately see, I just talk to anyone that looks like they work there. When I went to check in for the 1st year of my LTR, after check in at the information desk, they said the 90-day window. I looked but didn't see it but saw a Thai with a badge hanging around his neck walking through the area. So I asked him (in Thai) if he worked there and he smiled and said what window do you want (in Thai) and I said the 90-day window but for the LTR and he smiled and said follow me and he led me around the hallways to the 90-day window with a smile - I thanked him and then I was out of there in less than 5 minutes as there were no others in front of me. In stores, the same thing but usually there are a lot of local employees and they always seem happy and ready to help if I ask. maybe my smile and speaking Thai has helped but I sure have never had the type of experience as Aurelien related. Wear a bigger smile whenever going to buy something a see if that helps.
