You need one of those umbrella hat things, preferably with a Ratchaburi FC logo on it. :idea:

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

It's safe to say the Southwest monsoon has started, or will within the next few days.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

I've just been driving an new Honda CRV Hybrid that a neighbor bought. It also has one of those elevated center touch pad screens. Happy to report that after about 1 km your eyes adjust and look over the top of it. At least this model/style screen is not the distraction I thought it would be. :cheers:

Re: New luxury train route in Vietnam offers stunning coastal views..

It's a new route. The photos in the article show luxury appointed cars with no curtains on or near the windows shown. I would say it's $420.00 per ticket separate cars attached to the normal train. The locals would not be riding in those cars, unless they wanted to pay that price.

Any that don't fully retract I'm surprised Vehicle Safety Authorities haven't stepped in with some kind of regulation.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

I've noticed that a lot of EV models have the touch screen sticking up in the center of the dash board. I would find that very distracting when driving. Can they be lowered down into a less intrusive position?

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

A friend stopped by today with a new Tesla Y. AWD, dual motor, long range. I think it cost about 2.5 million. :shock: No time for photos but you can see those on Tesla's Thailand website. What surprised me was that it is not totally silent. When engaged and moving there is a hum coming from it, whic...
