Thaivisa, The Hub of Armchair aviation experts...

Looking out of the window from my first-class front-row seat on the far-right

Discredited they only operate business class and economy on that route on the A330.

But hey don't let truth get in the way of getting big face in the media....These Thai "Superstars" need all the attention they can get...

The whole concept goes back to the previous technology Nicad batteries which suffer from "Memory"

Lithium batteries and Smart charging from the device and chargers - forget it you will achieve nothing apart from waste several hours of your time

Modern Battery technology does not require it.

A jet going slower on take off is expending less fuel. It is my understanding thinner air is responsible for fuel savings at altitude.

Takeoff performance is not concerned about Fuel usage for that short phase. Derated thrust selection is more of a engine life / Maintenance thing. A little more too it but more or less

More than 600km. I would be more worried about the tropical storm that is going over the area.

Its a nothing...Just a depression now. In Japan a little rain osaka...

Have had kobe beef in Benihani restaraunt and its magnificent

Fat content is way to high in my opinion. Melts in the mouth yes because of the fat content. Makes me feel a bit queasy after a few pieces.

I believe Wagyu beef is the best beef in the world. I originates from Japan, often refered to it as "Kobe" beef. I have had the pleasure of tasting a Kobe beef in Osaka and it was the best beef ever! And by a large margin. It just melts in your mouth, wow!

Wagyu is not same as Kobe.

I head about one that managed to get one from Amazon without paying tax but if they ship with FedEx you will pay the tax.

Paperwhite Kindle shipped from US using shipito.com via fedex last week. Duty and tax paid 280THB

$40.00 for the fedex shipping.

A dam_n site cheaper than what some of the grey importer companies are charging here.

I am Amazon prime customer. Complained when it arrived about the special offers being a ridiculous idea. They removed the ad's with their complements no charge.

Love Amazon customer service.

A daily trip to singapore would cost much less than the VAT somebody will pay for this expensive product. Plus, you can get 7% VAT refund from Singapore, everybody wins

Don't think so return tickets, taxi's, food. Would be close on 7% VAT on that amount...

Actually I'll soon buy the new Thunderbolt Cinema Display here in BKK ... even though I'll pay an extra $200, because I need it now and can't wait until I return to USA in two months.

Wait for the refresh - imminent.

HK - Cheapest place in world for Apple products.

Careful with Bluetooth.

A2DP...

If you get charged duty on a computer import you are being scammed. Simple as that. Protest and appeal - it will be made right if you use a company like DHL/FEDEX/UPS. Disputing with other non courier's may be difficult.

I have probably imported 10-12 laptops now and NOT ONCE have I been charged or attempted to be charged duty. Simply VAT on value+Shipping.

Using: TNT, Fedex or DHL 100%.

Secondly I would not feel happy shipping a $4000.00 laptop not using one of the above 3 or UPS.

If you have doubts call Fedex put through to clearance department and get them to confirm duty rates on your import. You can also speak to TH Customs direct or check their Tariff database.

Dell wont Ship to Thailand from the US or Aussie

Shipito.com is your friend.

7% VAT on declared customs value+Shipping charge.

There is no Duty on Computers.

Are you just a reseller for unblockus or Unotelly?

fedex

imac ssd upgrade from hd. U can do yourself its not the easiest of upgrades tho. some nasty motherboard connectors.

Try their website? Its listed there.

Hint: under London Heathrow lounges

20mins+ last 2 weeks for english speaking thai contact centre. Get the mrs to do it with Thai option on the phone <3 mins...

Pathetic.

Norwegian

That THB900 charge is remarkable. It's barely more than the expected 7% VAT, with no sign of the expected import tariff, which usually runs 30-40% of invoiced cost (including shipping). How was it shipped? USPS AIr Mail? Courier (UPS/FedEx/etc)?

7% Vat is normal for computers/tablets and notebooks. Its not a generic 30-40% on everything you import!

Perhaps they can't find any Thai Genius's for the bar.......

BKK 300k CM 200k

Beer Vault for beer..

As to regional J, I agree not up to some others standards but for example BKK-SIN no worse than SQ/CX, want to be crammed in like a sardine in J, try European Airlines.

Agreed just done a KLM trip...never again..

Their J was way average and the second sector european J was in a F70 say no more. (But they do block the middle seat..... ....)
