Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Is there not a good chance that if/when the world doesn't need oil anymore, the lithium producers will become all-powerful, and put stupid prices on lithium? We've seen the oil giants control prices for years. Will it not be human nature to see similar controls put on the mining of lithium?

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

My rejection was 10:38 - maybe a blockage was cleared, and they all came spewing out together.

Re: Euros 2024

Fixture list/UK TV listings (not the best quality - sorry, but readable).

I've heard it will be on Thai TV, but haven't heard the details yet. Does anybody know?

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

I've been to Bluport - all sorted :D

Nice girl said, you normally do online, why are you here. I said my online application had been rejected. She gave a knowing smile, then showed her boss another one that had been rejected. She confirmed most likely their fault.

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

Hmmmm....... submitted mine 2 days ago - just received the rejection because data submitted was invalid. I've checked the data submitted against previous applications, and they are word for word identical. Is there a new requirement? Off to Bluport :?

Thai PM Proposes Schengen Type Visa For SE Asia

Personally, I think it's a great idea. We get so many visitors who travel to see us, but then go on to other neighbouring countries before coming back to Thailand again. Hopefully it would simplify travel for us Expats living here as well. https://www.imidaily.com/asia-pacific/thai-pm-proposes-sche...

School classes ‘can go online’

Really? I thought we'd left this kind of kneejerk reaction light years behind us. The new school term, which starts on Thursday, could proceed with online classes if health threats to students arise, including the spread of Covid-19, excessive heat or high levels of air pollution, the government sa...

Re: Flights to/from Hua Hin Airport & other domestic locations

Petch Hua Hin - that sounds a bit better than the suggestion I read yesterday i.e. Hua Hina Diamond.

Yes Mr. Srettha, many of us want it, but it never happens.

Re: Thai Football 2023/24

Prachuap's 2nd leg form has been amazing compared to leg 1. Chonburi have to be favourites for the drop with their next game away to a very in form Muangthong. The final game at home to relegated Trat shouldn't even come into the reckoning.

Re: Thai Football 2023/24

Trat and Police are effectively relegated. The final place will be fought over by Chonburi, Lamphun, Prachuap, Sukhothai, Khon Kaen and Nakhon Pathom, although Chonburi must be favourite for that last spot, being 4 points adrift already.

Re: Things That Wind Me Up Driving In Thailand

Most likely, but Thais are more adapt at driving with wider than usual loads, and don't tend to forget. You can see it every morning here as they leave Chatchai Market, totally overloaded. By Western standards, many Thais drive in an unorthodox manner, but they have been on the back of a motorcycle ...

Usually drunk when I've seen them keel over, but I would guess illness at the time of day in 2dandan's post.
