Do you know about the "Mike's Tropical Tech" channel? He's also from Hua Hin and also has an interest in drones and EV. Currently doing a series using drones that regularly documents progress in the Hua Hin train station build.
Hey thanks for the shoutout!
I'm going to be moving to Barcelona in January, but a friend will continue to fly his drone down the Hua Hin train line each month, I will edit and post to the channel as usual.
I'll be shipping my electric Porsche 914 over to Spain and upgrading the battery pack with Tesla modules, along with other hopefully interesting tech projects.

Quebec really doesn't want to be part of Canada, but I don't blame them for this stunt. My homeland deserves to be its own country, unencumbered by centuries of stupid tradition.

No they can't be taught anything about *that* cult, only brought up and brainwashed in *our cult.*

Yes, had twice until I twigged on this was some kind of scam. Was very polite with the first one, told the second one to <deleted> off.

I just saw this on a Thai TV news report.
And I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that some Thai people did not exercise proper safety procedures when dealing with explosives in a crowded area! ????

Usual comment from an an owner of an aggressive breed.
Its not YOUR well trained dog thats the problem PJ71... You may be a great dog owner.
The problem is the other owners who fail to train their dogs and when they don’t these dogs can be aggressive and deadly (the stats prove this).
This is not the same as failing to train a cocker spaniel or golden retriever which does not have an ‘aggressive instinct’ or undergone generations of breeding to be aggressive and attack.
These dogs are dangerous unless well trained.
And when you comment.. 'Usual comments from people that have never owned these dogs'
Well of course we haven’t opened these dogs... Its because we are not stupid..
.... we know these dogs need lots of space, experienced ownership, dedicated time, skilled training.... IF we cannot provide this we know these types of dogs become aggressive and dangerous - thats exactly why we don’t have them.
Any person who owns these dogs in an inner city environment without the space, time and experience to train them properly is a selfcentered ayhole for creating a danger - we read of this again and again.
Exactly! Reminds me of the line from comedian Steve Hofstetter:
"I'm not a helicopter pilot, but if I saw a helicopter stuck in a tree, I'd say "Dude <deleted> up." -
I used to use Mr. Vicky near the Tessaban but he went back to India during COVID. Now I use the tailor shop next to Everest restaurant behind the temple downtown. They did a great custom pair of pants for me with a secret zipper pocket for my wallet and passport while traveling.

Abortion in my opinion, is the premeditated murder of a child. Humankind seems to be regressing.
Great, don't have one then. Live your life the way you want, but keep your nose out of everyone else's.

I am getting quotes to ship the contents of my condo from Hua Hin to Barcelona and every one of them explicitly say something like "Following items require export permit (Fee: Baht 3,000 for up to 10 objects): -All kind of Buddhas image / religious statues / relics / reproductions / spirit house etc "
So you need to get an export permit and that itself may be easy / difficult / impossible.

Good thing Thailand has these protected jobs that are so highly skilled that it's impossible that a foreigner could do anywhere near as good a job.

About the same as way as my pickup looks like a Porsche
I think it's a Nissan 350Z or 370Z. Wannabe sports car for broke young Thai guys.

".......later this year"! Come on, we're pushing October already. Has he watched any of Mike's videos? No way will the dual line be ready north of HH by year's end.
Hey thanks for watching my videos! Nice that the OP gave me credit on the image of the station.
I have to say, big progress is being made, seems a push in construction is underway. Doesn't have to be perfect to get the train rolling on the new track and elevated section. I'm editing the September 15 video now and will publish it in a few days.

You should be OK just walking along the beach, I never had a bite in all of the time I spent there.
I knew someone who did the old bury-my-boyfriend-in-the-sand and the next day he had dozens of nasty welts from the sandflies that were underneath the sand.

He probably rode the brakes all the way down the hill overheating them.
My parents had a bed & breakfast at the base of Whiteface Mountain in upstate New York. Tourists would regularly get to the bottom of the hill with smoke pouring off the brakes.- 2

My SCB debit card doesn't have my name on it and I never thought it was an issue until I tried to use it in person to rent a car in Barcelona. The agent refused the card because it doesn't have my name on it. I tried to explain it's a security feature but he insisted so I was lucky I had my American Visa card with me too.

The other aspect I have noticed and commented on before, watch out for items showing as Samat Prakhan! They are not! They are actually Chinese distributors and your item comesdirect from China.
If you search or are looking for "local" suppliers, watch out for that one.It is not what it seems.The other indicator is "sellers own fleet" on the delivery details.
I have a problem with this "sellers own fleet" right now. It still shows "Packed" status for three weeks but the seller insists it has shipped and it is a "Lazada technical problem." It's already 11 days past the last day of the expected delivery window. No way to track it, I wonder if/when it will show up.

They should have enlisted the help of a geometry student to help them understand the definition of a 'cube'.
Their 'cubes' are described as..... consists of six aluminium cubes, 30cm in height, 20cm in length ...... Better known as 'a rectangle' ????
You've already been spanked for your misunderstanding of 'a rectangle', so I'll just give you the science.
They are using 'Cubesats', a modular microsatellite system based on a 10x10x10cm *cube* standard called a 1U Cubesat. If you need more space, you use additional 10x10x10 volumes making 2U, 3U sizes, etc. These standard size payloads fit into standard slots in the mother satellite deployment system.
