Re: Chiang Mai Listed Where Couple Can Retire for US$1,500/month

Re: The Beer Thread 2

Is it actually open yet? Or is this just pre-opening spiel? Last time I looked in Bluport, it didn't even look like any work had been done. I've not been but according to FB there is a live band playing tonight, 8.30 -10.30 so must be open now. I should have come back to answer my own question. Yes...

Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?

The Vietnamese are coming! https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2024/03/27/vietnamese-automaker-vinfast-to-start-selling-evs-in-thailand/ Its a sign of Thailands decline over the last 20 years, that another SE Asian country is ahead of Thailand in producing it's own EV, or any vehicle for that matter.

I've had some sellers that ship here over the years. Mainly books and music.

I also have a .com account, which seems to be easier for shipping.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

I saw a Tesla in the car park of the Ad Lib Hotel in Khon Kaen. A then newly opeened modern hotel, and easily the best in KK.
