    Supposed to be coming this year to the EU. Did a custom declaration for Bali this year,no problem.Trying to get a visa online was a world of pain and frustration.
  3. My understanding is that after a set date! The earliest I have seen is 2030! All NEW vehicles sold will be electric.I don't know of any laws that have been confirmed.In the UK that would require an act of Parliament.Not sure if that's the case for Scotland,Wales and NI.How that's going to work in practice in the US is anybody's guess.Google tells me there are 286 million cars on the road in the US.9.3 % are electric.13.5 million trucks.above10,000 pounds.Then there's the buses and agricultural, construction etc.Are you saying that only electric vehicles will be on the road in California from
  4. In this little town I can hear the fast fat bikes coming,probably a bit noisier in London.
  5. It is happening organically really.The bit that's being forced is getting the really bad polluters of the street.Thats the diesel vans mostly that are never serviced or maintained,that's a european problem.They need to be forcibly scrapped if necessary.The biggest fable is that the internal combustion engine is going to be outlawed by 2030-2035 that's not true.All the new cars that are being sold now will still be running in 2040 and longer.Some activists and politicians want no new petrol cars to be sold after 2030 that's a wish not a fact.My street is full of parked cars as are the surroundi
  6. I've booked a place for the first 4 weeks just off Klang close to the bigC,I can cancel anytime up to Christmas.Its reasonably quite there and it's about as far out as I want to be.There is a chance that I can stay in mate's condo,will know in October/November fingers crossed.
  7. I live in Purmerend a small town 20k north of Amsterdam.The buses are in the process of going all electric,it's a massive improvement.The sooner all motorized traffic is all electric the better.its much much quieter on the street,the main noise is from the tire's and the odd boy racer on the motorbikes,that's a summer problem.The old noisy scooters are being phased out,they have to wear helmets and ride on the roads in towns and cities.The kids are now on the souped up fatbikes they whizz around up to 45k,cue much clutching of pearls and laws to be passed.Go into a bike shop and it's almost on
  8. I am in Pattaya/Jomtien from 3 January till 26 February.I have for over 25 years stayed in hotels.For the longer stay I am looking for a condo/ apartment.What are the pitfalls and the red flags I should lookout for? Some of the Airbnb places have great prices but don't mention water and electricity etc.Booking.com have more places but much more expensive.The reviews especially for Airbnb are all over the place.VT 6 has a couple of places about €2200+ for 54 nights that seems like good deal.Any recommendations please,walking distance from the beach preferred but not a deal breaker. Cheers
  9. I was looking for a place on Agoda,next January for 30 nights.The March hotel looks ok great location with a reasonable price.All the reviews give it a 10,given that I disregard the top ratings and lowest ratings I've not got a lot to go on.Anybody stayed there recently? Opinions gratefully received.
  10. Doctor Google will explain the rota virus for you.Just don't mention that there's a vaccine for it,there's some sensitive souls on here.
  11. Check the arrival times.the cheapest flight for January 3 on Skyscanner was Saudi.It arrived at 23:20. With 25 hours trip time.The EVA flight looks good if it's direct.
  12. What I saw on booking.com was €1100 or about 42,000 baht for 29 nights january 3 till March 1.with breakfast though.flipper house was €1564. They both get a 7.8 rating considered good.not sure I would like to stay a month in them,but if it's for a short stay I would be ok with the lodge.
  13. Still no change on the prices from Amsterdam in January,the cheapest is still Saudi.The out leg is 25 hours to arrive Bangkok 23:40! Agent prices on Skyscanner. My last two trips to Bangkok I have extended the return date, upgraded and payed online,no problem with EVA. I'm only asking,can you do that with a ticket from an agency?
  14. There was no mobility issues that I could see, relatively modern block with lifts.Maybe a few old fellas have died and they don't want to deal with that.Police, Ghost in the room.semi legality of renting rooms.
