[Foreigner's Shocking Behavior On Soi 4 Sparks Outrage in Bangkok [videos]]

Absolute pig. Arrest, impose heavy fine, deport never to return.

[NATO should recruit Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, Japan, and more, ex-commander says]

Thailand will never join Nato, too many $ involved in Russian and Chinese tourists. Thailand prefers Nutrality.

[Do immigration police make it up as the go along.....]

Absolutely.

Even there, things can go wrong, which is my experience with a Ford dealer, with inexperienced 'technicians'

Yes, agree, just saying better chance of success at dealership than local back yard boys.

[B-quik maintenance issues]

First mistake, using B Quick for mechanical repairs. Very few real mechanics in this country, a lot of back yard boys pretending to  be Mechanics. Use a well establised dealership with mechanical workshop facilities. 

[Australian man under investigation for road rage incident near Bangkok (video)]

I feel ashamed that this guy comes from Australia, a real scumbag, the Tai driver more than likely caused this outburst, however, no excuse for carrying on like that. 

[Why is there so much trash on the grass verges in Hua Hin]

Sad, but this is normal everywhere in Thailand. Thailand government dont give a <deleted>, nor does the average Thai. The environment is not high on the government or public agenda.

[It’s their country, their rules?]

Agree with OP regarding swiss men, I do not condone what they did, however, there are 70 million plus Thais in Thailand, with assalts, bashings, rapes, murders by Thais everyday in Thailand. Do you see the media covering those cases, no, because nobody cares, better story if 'farang' involved. Media BS at its best.

[What this scam is about?]

They attract your attention while second party looking for quick grab of your wallet, phone, gold, etc.

[British man quits England for Thailand’s tropical tranquility]

Dont blame him, the UK hasbecome a multi cultural disaster zone, time to shut the boarders before the UK loses its western way of life forever, like many EU countries are discovering. 

[Thailand Adjusts Excise Taxes on Local Liquor to Boost Tourism]

In my understanding that refers to lao khao, Sang Som, Leo, Chang beer, and such.

 

They will never lower the duties on their cash cow, the imported wine.

 

This seems to be normal in Thailand, tax heavily on all imports, yet little tax on people and goods in country.

[Soaring travel costs to Phuket spark tourist backlash]

Easy, don't fly there. Nothing special in Phuket that other tourist hot spots offer. Overrated.

I think I will wait until the tax office comes knocking at my door, then make a decision which path to go down.

[Beef steaks - Big C , Makro]

We are from South Africa and are getting married in Phuket , and have rented a villa with a private chef. Any ideas on where we can buy good steaks? Sirloin or Rib eye. Is Big C a good option? Open to all recommendations. 

With your money I would'nt bother with Big C or Makro, plenty of expat butchers selling quality beef in Phuket.

[Thai Airways sues over passenger’s flight diversion criticism]

Really, Thai Airways sueing a passenger for his personal opinion, The airline must be desperate for cash. I mean, the comment would have fizzled away in a few days, and would it really affect Thai Airways, I seriously doubt it. Now Thai Airways will be known for their actions against passengers who complain about anything. More harm done than good. 

[Bum gun in bathroom leaking / broken]

If the bum gun in the bathroom is leaking / broken, is this the owner's responsibility or the tenant's responsibility to buy a new one and put the new one in? I would've thought it's the owner's responsibility as the tenant has moved in and it was in working state. I think the tenant's responsibility is only for changing light bulbs if they become fused. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Less than 200B. why bother, replace it youself.

This is a duplicate post by the same OP, the original being 2nd April 2023.  It is pushing his evangelical anti EV opinion with false data.

 

As was covered in that original thread, multiple sources of statistics including the US Gov't, put fires in ICE vehicles about 14 times more likely than in an EV.

 

A simple google search will tell you that the source of this video in an anti CCP outfit and funded by Falun Gong, its videos are clickbait.

 

There are many members here who are buyers of BYD vehicles, myself included, I have yet to hear of ANY being unhappy.

 

Same old samo from EV lovers in denial. Just a small piece of info for you concerning your quote. 'As was covered in that original thread, multiple sources of statistics including the US Gov't, put fires in ICE vehicles about 14 times more likely than in an EV.' Have you check lately how many ICE are on the road right now in the world against EVs. Comparing ICE vehicles burning against EVs burning is just pure nonsense. Hey, you enjoy your BYD, I sleep well at nights owning my ICE vehicle.

When it comes to EV's @DUNROAMIN you're ignorant.

I think you are in denial my friend, maybe do some serious research on EVs for yourself and find if they are really the 'planet saver' as so many EV nuts preach.

Stay with it DUNROAMIN,  even though petrol stations will inevitably have less bowsers and more E.V. chargers meaning all the more for the E.V. owners who might need it, (not me) and all the less for the likes of you.

Again: please stay with it DUNROAMIN.

 

Again: please stay with it DUNROAMIN.

My life on this planet is short lived, I dont think EVs will cause me a problem, long live the ICE.
