Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
If they can sell them at a decent price in the US then they will have a huge market to sell them in.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
Rather than speculate, it’s better to wait for the facts to emerge, as I’m sure they will in good time!! Fair comment, but EV's were the first thing that went through my mind when I saw the report I must admit. On another note, I caught the tail end of a report on the BBC this morning, but can't fo...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
Perhaps someone was stealing it and something went wrong.

Re: Foreign property lures are rejected
I can’t understand anyone building a house on land they don’t own in Thailand, using a 30 year lease. Easier to buy a beachfront condo.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
I looked at Phev’s from many manufacturers back here in the UK and decided that it wasn’t worth buying one for the extra few miles I’d be getting, so went the full EV route by buying a Kia Soul 68 KWH First Edition. We have an EVSE charge system at home, so get to charge up on cheap electric (5ppKwh...

Re: Foreign property lures are rejected
Personally I’m far happier owning property in Italy, at least I don’t have to jump through hoops to spend my money there.
The wife’s family own plenty in Thailand and now in the UK, that’s good enough for me.

Re: Electric Cars
Yes I should read back in the thread a bit, my bad. :( I’m lucky as regards to electric prices as I signed up for cheap overnight electric from OctopusEnergy back in May 21 when we got the car and my tariff is 5pp Kwh for 4 hours overnight, 13.75 pp Kwh day rate with 24pp day standing charge. That w...

Re: Electric Cars
We have had an EV for just over a year here in the UK. It’s a KIA SOUL EV First edition 68kwh and we’ve done 22,500 miles in it since new. Mostly local journeys with the odd 270 mile round trip to Heathrow. We have never charged at public chargers, as we have a 7Kwh charger system at home and we cha...

Re: When was your first visit to Hua Hin?
1998 (I think) when I actually visited and stayed with my wife in HH. She was scouting out businesses for her family and she said this is where she wanted to live. Back then it was like a frontier town, with no modern amenities to speak of. I flew back to UK for a while then came back to HH to live....

Re: Hua Hin property market at present
The inlaws have purchased 2 condos and 3 houses during the last 6 months in Hua Hin, all at fire sale prices.
All rented out to Thais. It’s a buyers market and plenty of properties to be had for a bargain price.

Re: Vaccines - Covid 19
The wife's parents in Pathum Thani, were offered Sinovac back in June, but we told them to wait for the AZ Jab, which they did.
They had their first AZ jabs late June and are due their 2nd jab in late September.
Glad they didn’t go for the Chinese vaccine.

Re: Boundary/Neighbour Dispute
When we had a beachfront property on Neabkehardt Road, a section of the compound next to us was sold to a Thai woman with an American husband. They decided to construct a property along the boundary dividing our house and business and their new building. However, they did keep a 1 meter gap as we ha...

Re: Cholesterol reduction tips
I’ve been using ACV with the mother in it for years. Despite being overweight, don’t exercise, drink red wine and the odd beer and eat loads of red meat, my cholesterol levels are within the “normal range” and have been for years. Not sure if that is due to the ACV or not, but it doesn’t do any harm...

Re: Monsoon Valley entrance charge
Yup, still around but due to this Covid crap we’re all tied to the UK at the moment.
May get back for a visit in late 2021 or early 2022, God willing and the river don’t rise.
