Do you get on well with Thai People?
Great idea. But the mods would likely shut it down. I think it's against site policy to make posts about other members. -

Truth hurts eh. Go on ignore me it's just a sign of weakness. I was already pointing out. You just reinforced it. Gaslighting eh. You used that same bs during the kamala debacle. Didn't work then either. -

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
If I remember correctly you paid B932K for you MG ZS EV 2 years ago in 2022 and your car is now worth B450k-B500K approx so you car has devalued between B482-B432K if we take the B482K reduction in value it will take 12 years to recuperate your existing deprecation to date with petrol savings of B40K per year Here the story of a small business owner that wishes he could turn back time BYD is very cruel to SMEs like us... Allow me to tell this story in case it is an example to those who are thinking of buying an electric vehicle, especially those who do small businesses like me. At the end of last September, the van I used to deliver was damaged beyond repair. At that time, I was very stressful. Because the car is like the heart of the business, we had to find a new one to use. At that time I think that electric cars could save energy cost and long-term maintenance. I choose BYD T3 because I think I want to support a clean energy car. I have seen it as a service car for many places. It looks reliable. But when I asked the price and the seller, I got the answer that it is 990,000 Baht. For a small business like me, it is a big amount of money. At that time, I have asked the salesperson that "Isn't there any promotion? "Sell confirmed that it doesn't have. Because it's a commercial car and it's the only electric train in the market. I decided that everywhere is needed. Let's try it. I bite my teeth, pay deposit, apply finance, pay 48 installments, interest 2.09% and get the car on 31 October. The money that I pay on the day of getting the car in the first installment is more than 300,000 Baht. But heartbreak comes so fast. Just less than 1 month, on the 1st December in Motor Expo, I saw BYD T3 announce the price reduction from 990,000 baht to 699,000 baht!!! Yes sir... Reduced for more than 300,000 baht. My hair almost fell down while standing up... 300,000 baht may seem small for a big company like BYD but for SMEs like me, this money is the payment of labor for several months, rent or even working capital that helps to boost the business in this economic period. I don't understand why companies don't inform or consider customers who buy first. Now, I feel like I am abandoned as a customer of SMEs. Small businesses like us who struggle every day. I have to face things like this again. The more I think about it, the more I feel sad. Let me leave this as a lesson for others. If you don't hurry to use the car, it's better to wait for the promotion period. Because if you buy it first, you may be in pain like me... https://www.facebook.com/groups/2389905174463399/posts/8837573906363128/ I must admit most people know if buying a vehicle and there was an Motor show taking place in 4-6 weeks time would delay any purchase until the Motorshow offers have been published And in defence of the dealer and the brand dealers aren't aware of any price changes until the last minute as the potential of that information leaking out is to great dealer tells family member or friend don't buy this month wait until next month but I can't tell you why There have been many reports of sales people telling customers price will go up next month but normally that is a method used by sales people to try and close the deal If they don't know about price reductions they also don't know about price increases -

Is Obesity a Very Serious Problem?
When I first came to Thailand decades ago, I hardly ever saw anyone overweight in the hub of great food and habitual snackers. But over time, that has changed considerably. The WHO, in 2011, published information about obesity by country in Southeast Asia, showing that 32.2% of the Thai population was already overweight (see the info graphic on the link below). Now, according to a more recent study (on the same link below), Thailand’s obesity rate is rising rapidly. A 2022 study revealed that the prevalence of overweight Thais and Thai obesity in general has reached 47.8%, up from 34.7% in 2016. To me, those numbers are really staggering. This has become a major public health problem in my non-expert opinion. Based on the climb from 32.2% in 2011 to 47.8% in 2022, it means it has risen at an average of about 3.66% per year over that 11-year period. If this average rate continues then it suggests that the percentage of people who are now overweight or obese in Thailand in 2024 has already surpassed 50%, reaching a jaw dropping 51.36%. Assuming this trend continues then by 2030 around 62.88% of the Thai population could be overweight or obese, assuming these calculations are correct and the rate of annual increase continues at the same pace. To me, this is disastrous. And if the rise continues, more and more people will suffer from diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease in Thailand than ever before. Meanwhile, there were hardly any gyms at all in Bangkok when I first came here and now they're everywhere, many are also open 24 hours. So a lot more people are exercising, at least a little bit anyway when they go to these gyms, but obviously it's not helping very much. It's the worsening diet and the massive caloric surplus that so many are consuming that is causing the rapid increase in obesity. Not to mention, the aesthetic appeal of the locals is declining rapidly. I rarely see women with attractive faces and figures anymore, largely due to this rapidly growing obesity problem. It’s really sad. And it’s not just Thailand. This trend is happening throughout Southeast Asia. Malaysia is in an even worse situation. Singapore is struggling too, and the Philippines isn’t far behind. I wonder where this is all leading and if it will greatly accelerate the mortality rate in Thailand over the next decade. To me it would seem that Thailand is losing its edge as a place known for beautiful women in Southeast Asia as well. For me personally, I find that I rarely see Thai women that even cause me to turn my head anymore. https://www.thailand-business-news.com/asean/49065-thailand-ranks-second-asean-prevalence-obesity-mcot-net -
