Surprised no reaction from BYD owners on this forum
"Time to Rebalance the Wheels in Thailand’s Green," Automotive Policy Published 26 Jul 2024. Thailand has offered tariff-free preferences to Chinese EV makers since January 2012 under ACFTA. In contrast, the tariffs of EVs imposed on Japan and South Korea are much higher at 20 and 40 per cent, respectively. Chinese EV makers are thriving in Thailand due to the country’s tariffs and incentives, but industry incumbents are struggling (Japan, South Korea, EU). -

Lao borders (some at least) now requiring overnight stay?
Yes, I’ve read that article too. The delay is due to the eVisa system not yet being rolled out to all embassies. To get an idea of when the ETA system will be fully implemented, keep an eye on the eVisa system’s expansion. Once it’s widely available, the ETA will likely follow, as both systems will be integrated into a single, unified online portal. -

Air con experts
The short answer is no. The hotter the ambient outside temperature, the less effective the heat-exchanger works. Blowing 35-degree air though a hot coil does not remove heat as effectively as blowing 30-degree air through a hot coil. -

Should A Woman Be Allowed to hold the office of President of the USA?
You mean like these dizzy bints as opposed to the likes of Pol Pot, Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Pinochet, Johnson, Netanyahu, Putin, Trump..........et al While some of the female leaders mentioned faced significant challenges or controversies, others are also recognized for notable achievements during their time in power. Let’s look at some who, despite criticism or difficulties, are often considered to have had successful tenures in certain respects: 1. Indira Gandhi (India, 1966–1977, 1980–1984) • Successes: Indira Gandhi is regarded as one of India’s most powerful leaders. Under her leadership: • She oversaw India’s victory in the 1971 war with Pakistan, which led to the creation of Bangladesh. • She initiated the Green Revolution, which significantly increased India’s agricultural productivity and made the country more self-sufficient in food production. • Her efforts in maintaining India’s non-aligned movement during the Cold War are often seen as a significant diplomatic achievement. • Challenges: Her declaration of Emergency (1975-1977) remains one of the most criticized decisions of her career, but her political comeback in 1980 showed her resilience. • Legacy: Indira Gandhi is often remembered as a strong and influential leader despite her controversial policies. 2. Benazir Bhutto (Pakistan, 1988–1990, 1993–1996) • Successes: Benazir Bhutto, the first woman to lead a Muslim-majority country, brought hope for a more modern, democratic Pakistan. Her significant accomplishments include: • Expanding healthcare and women’s rights: Bhutto worked to improve access to healthcare, particularly maternal and child healthcare, and promoted women’s education and participation in politics. • Standing against military dictatorship: Bhutto’s return to Pakistan after her father was executed by a military regime symbolized a restoration of civilian government and democracy. • Challenges: Her administration was plagued by allegations of corruption and political instability, leading to her removal from office twice. • Legacy: Though her legacy is mixed, Bhutto remains a powerful symbol of resistance against authoritarianism, and her advocacy for democracy is seen as a success by many. 3. Aung San Suu Kyi (Myanmar, 2016–2021) • Successes: Aung San Suu Kyi’s leadership was initially hailed as a democratic breakthrough for Myanmar after decades of military rule. • She played a pivotal role in Myanmar’s transition from military dictatorship to a quasi-democratic government. • Her work as a pro-democracy activist, which earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, and her leadership in the National League for Democracy (NLD) won her widespread support at home and abroad. • Challenges: Her failure to address or condemn the military’s persecution of the Rohingya minority seriously damaged her international reputation, leading to widespread criticism. • Legacy: While Suu Kyi’s human rights record is now viewed critically, her role in promoting democracy in Myanmar and standing up to military dictatorship remains a significant achievement in the country’s history. 4. Dilma Rousseff (Brazil, 2011–2016) • Successes: Despite the controversy surrounding her impeachment, Rousseff’s tenure saw some important successes: • She continued and expanded social welfare programs, such as Bolsa Família, which helped lift millions out of poverty. • Rousseff also promoted gender equality and was a strong advocate for environmental protections and renewable energy. • Challenges: The economic downturn during her second term and her involvement in the broader political corruption scandals (though she was not directly implicated in personal corruption) severely damaged her standing. • Legacy: While her impeachment overshadows much of her presidency, she remains an important figure in Brazil’s progressive movement, and some of her social programs have had a lasting impact. 5. Theresa May (United Kingdom, 2016–2019) • Successes: Despite the difficulties surrounding her tenure, especially related to Brexit, May achieved some important milestones: • She oversaw a significant decrease in the national deficit. • May also focused on tackling domestic violence and passed the landmark Domestic Abuse Bill to better protect victims of abuse. • She worked to address the social divide by advocating for policies aimed at reducing the gender pay gap. • Challenges: Her inability to deliver a Brexit deal that satisfied both pro-Brexit and pro-EU factions severely undermined her government. • Legacy: While May is remembered for the difficulties surrounding Brexit, her domestic achievements in social welfare and gender equality are viewed as positive contributions. 6. Angela Merkel (Germany, 2005–2021) • Successes: Merkel is widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential female leaders in modern history. Her tenure as Germany’s chancellor is often praised for: • Steadying the Eurozone during the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent European debt crisis. • Championing humanitarian values by opening Germany’s doors to over a million refugees during the migrant crisis of 2015, despite facing backlash. • Leading Germany through multiple economic successes, making it Europe’s largest economy. • Being a key leader in the European Union, Merkel was often seen as the de facto leader of the EU, promoting stability and cooperation. • Challenges: Merkel faced criticism for her refugee policy, which some felt led to social and political unrest, but her overall legacy remains largely positive. • Legacy: Merkel is frequently hailed as a global leader of stability, pragmatism, and moderation, earning her a place among the most successful female leaders in history. While each of these leaders had their challenges, many of them are remembered for significant achievements that shaped their nations and even the world. Leaders like Indira Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, and Aung San Suu Kyi made major strides toward democracy and social progress in their countries, even if their legacies are complicated by later controversies.- 1

Chinese Luxury Housing Project Probed for Money Laundering
200 million to 700 million Thb per unit? Some serious local 'benefactors' involved in that project. If the OP image is anything to go by they are just high-end ticky-tacky boxes side by side.
