Is this battery worth it's salt 2: Sodium Ion Batteries
This article caught my eye earlier. https://www.ess-news.com/2025/06/16/italian-startup-releases-9-8-kwh-sodium-ion-battery-for-residential-applications/ Good news but I think it will be some time before such batteries are available here in Thailand. At daily 80% discharge they will live for almost 18 years. Can be discharged to 100% (but I doubt they would live very long if that happened too often). Italian startup Heiwit has developed a sodium-ion battery for residential use. Heiwit said the battery poses a lower fire risk, avoids materials with significant geopolitical concerns, and offers easier end-of-life recycling. “The overall cost is lower than lithium counterparts of equal capacity,” the company said in a statement. The system measures 700 mm x 480 mm x 170 mm and weighs 130 kg. It has a nominal power of 10 kW and an energy storage capacity of 9.8 kWh. The company said the system provides a round-trip efficiency of 95% and supports a 100% depth of discharge. It operates in ambient temperatures between -10 C and 55 C and offers a reported lifespan of 6,500 cycles at 80% depth of discharge. Heiwit conducted tests at its experimental plant in Caronno Pertusella, in the northern Italian province of Varese. “The battery, connected to a proprietary 6 kW hybrid inverter, is now fully operational and able to manage the storage and distribution of energy produced locally from renewable sources,” the statement said. During initial testing, the battery maintained thermal stability, with cell temperatures between 27 C and 28 C even under high cycling conditions. The company said the battery can reach full charge in under two hours due to “optimization of the cells and the advanced management of the inverter.” “This reduces the risk of overheating, prolongs the useful life and improves safety, making the system also suitable for installations without active temperature control,” added Heiwit. “The system can already be ordered,” said CEO Alessandro Gallani. “For the first few months, priority will be given to premium installers, with technical visits available at the headquarters to evaluate performance in real conditions.” -

My agent failed to inform me that I cannot file my 90 days report later than 7 days
My agent goes crazy about this, which I guess is good. Even asked me about in on Tuesday. My next 90 day is middle of August. In-person chat, so that's OK. Probably has lots of clients and maybe made a mistake once..... once..... Not all agents are the same. Realtors are next level range of 0 to 100. Bottom line, Nobody cares more about your money than you. so stay on top of it. -

Report Thailand's Grand Ambition: Hosting F1 with 40 Billion Baht Plan
This obsession with F1 is ridiculous. The money would better spent on the countries infrastructure that would benefit it’s people rather than a few to line their own pockets. Look what happened in India, $400 million spent on making a circuit for just three races where tickets were too expensive for locals to go.. Then there’s Vietnam. $600 million spent on circuit in Hanoi. Covid came and the race never happened and now is abandoned. To keep saying it’ll create tourism is a dangerous fallacy. No date has been suggested and price is critical factor to. This is nothing but a wet dream for some very rich vainglorious Hiso’s to line their pockets! -

if you have a legit visa and file your reports, immigration will remind you. -

Crime 5-Year Overstay Uncovered as 25 Chinese Arrested in Pattaya Loan Bust
Given the avalanche of bureaucratic forms, reports and photocopies - all signed with blue ink - it should really not be a problem to run a list of all non-Thais who are, according to the database with the immigration, illegally here. A visitor gets a stay permit for X, Y or Z days, i.e. admittance until a date. The day AFTER that date the visitor is in overstay. Given a grace period of a week or ten days one still could go and look, where they are. The given address might reveal some details (or is fake as well) and one still could nevertheless nail down a tidy number of overstayers. Just saying - no need to hunt
