Cheap Charlies blocked my review
My Mrs tips 10% or 100 baht (whichever is the greater). Her logic is that the waiter/waitress is from Laos or Cambodia etc. and they deserve it. -

EV Charging Stations (CS)
Well, on the way back to my home in Bangkok I drove by the ReverSharger DC charger close to the MIL's house again....both DC chargers were being used...and a couple other BYD vehicles lined up waiting to use them. And I'm now pretty sure why that charger is very popular now because before it wasn't. It's now popular because it's a "Red Pin" ReverSharger." I explain below what a Red Pin ReverSharger charger is. Just before getting back to my home in Bankgok I drove to another ReverSharger "kinda" close to my home....about a 15 minute Bangkok traffic drive away....it was at a Shell station. This will be the 3rd ReverSharger charger I tried in my attempt to get some free charging under the BYD promotion talked earlier. Now this charger worked really well in terms of the display icons responding when you pressed them, scanning hte QR caused an immideate response, etc. However, autocharging didn't work like it did at another charger....I had to start the charging process the normal way of scanning the QR code on the screen. I stopped the charging after Bt20 worth of electrons to see if my credit card was charged or I got the electrons free---my credit card was charged...no free electrons. Durn, once again, no free charging even through the ReverSharger app shows my account is activated for free charging. While racking my brain as to why I'm not getting free charging especially since the free charging is activated in my ReverSharger app account a Google Translation of the BYD free charging promotion flyer noted the free charging rights were only available at "Red Pin", repeat, Red Pin ReverSharger DC chargers. See 1st snapshot below. Now all three of the three chargers I had previously used are "not" identified as a Red Pin charger but simply as Shell station chargers identified by a seashell Pin (i.e., symbol). So, that's surely why I didn't get free charging....I had to pay for it. See 2nd snapshot below of the different pins shown in the ReverSharger app.....like a Red Pin, a Black Pin, and a Seashell....this snapshot is for the Chiang Mai area. And see 3rd snapshot below for ReverShargers in the "central, highrise" part of metro Bangkok were many, many BYD vehicles surely live/work but as you'll see there are few ReverSharger Red Pin chargers (but many ReverSharger Black and Seashell Pin chargers. Now I don't live in central Bangkok but over in lowrise "western" Bangkok. The ReverSharger app shows three Red Pin chargers within about a 15 minute drive of my home...and the app shows all of those DC chargers in use at time of me writing/posting this. So, if you have registered for the free/reduced rate charging "and" lucky enough to easily access a ReverSharger DC charger and that is identified as a "Red Pin" charger then you should be able to get some free charging. Take a look in the ReverSharger app for the Red Pin charger locations (i.e., free charging)...and remember the Black and seashell Pins do not provide free charging--you get charged as normal...usually a 9 to 10 baht per KWH rate. Snapshot 1 of Free Charging Promotion till 3 Jan 2025....note it says the free charging rights can only be used at "Red Pin" DC chargers. Snapshot 2 from ReverSharger app: ReverShargers in the Chiang Mai area....notice some are Red Pin, some are Black Pin, and some Seashell pin. Remember, only the Red Pin chargers can provide the free charging....use a Black Pin or Seashell Pin charger and your card will be charged. Snaphot 3 from Reversharger app....just zoming in to the "central, highrise part of the metro Bangkok area....very few Red Pin chargers to offer free charging to the MANY, MANY BYD vehicle owners which surely live/work in this area of Bangkok. -

Did you not think to do the most obvious thing and call the hospital to ask them? No one here will know the charges of some anonymous hospital.- 1

Gender Row Paris Olympics Boxer Previously Barred from Women’s Events Wins in 46 seconds
I must admit that my initial (face value) thoughts on this problem was that the IOC was wrong. However, I am not one who trusts 'face value' feelings since Boxing is not a sport I follow and my lack of knowledge could be at fault. Indeed, that seems to be the case here. I read an online article from CP 24, Toronto, and it quotes the Irish Boxer, Amy Broadhurst (who beat Imane Kelif in 2022) saying that it is not I. K's fault etc. and that she has already been beaten by 9 females before. From Axios, Imane Kelif also lost to Kellie Harrington (Irish) in the Tokyo Olympics. So I.K. had competed in Womens Boxing at the Olympics before! Another after-thought intrigued me, doesn't Algeria have an Anti-LGBTQ laws? According to Wiki, yes Algeria does criminalise that community. From News 18, a Dr.Ambrish Mithal said that Imane Kelif has 5-alpha reductase defficiency. People with this condition have XY chromasomes but lack DHT which is necessary for full male development. Outward appearance can be either male or female and in I.K.'s case, it was the latter (probably suffers from inferility too). I conclude that having fought in the women's category before there seems little reason to ban Imane Kelif this time. Imane Kelif was certified at birth as female and we should respect that. Life must be very difficult for her..."Nature' can be cruel sometimes and I hope that in the future Doctors will be able to detect and correct at very early stages.- 1

Wise email asking me to update address?…
Perhaps I'm missing something here, but why is this an "issue"? Simply use your Thai address. -

Baht Bombing!
If you actually worded you post in the way you intended it to be read you wouldn’t be creating confusion, but I have sympathy on your inability to understand long term and short term numbers. -

ATM withdrawl limits?
Thanks for that update and news! In the old days, Krungsri and TMB used to be the two Thai banking companies I relied on for 30K baht ATM machines.... But once TMB merged into becoming TTB, I had no idea whether the new entity still kept that same policy for their legacy TMB ATM machines. Do you know / does that mean that ATMs that formerly belonged to the other party in that merger, Thanachart, now still have a lower per withdrawal limit? I don't think Thanachart was in the 30K club before... "TMBThanachart Bank Public Company Limited (“TTB”) is a business merger between TMB Bank Public Company Limited (“TMB”) and Thanachart Bank Public Company Limited (“Thanachart”) to bring about the unique strengths of TMB and Thanachart to raise financial well-being for Thai people. In this regard, the Company is one of the major shareholders of TTB with the equity stake of more than 20 percent and at the level which allows the Company to participate in the conduct of business of TTB." https://www.thanachart.co.th/en/thanachart-group/associated-companies/tmbthanachart-bank
