Sticky rice 0.5kg plus coconut cream is 60 baht and mango is 40 baht/kg at the markets. Wife buys separately because the packs are too small, but normally priced at 40 baht.

Bangkok Stop Over
As I thought about it, it is possible that they mention the transit visa as that may exempt you from paying the 700 baht departure tax.

Bangkok Stop Over
If you are on a Uk passport you don't need a transit visa, not sure what that is about. I have had a journey break like this many times, just collect your bags, go off to a hotel and then re check in the next day. When you check-in tell them that you will be collecting your bags. The only thing you have to check is if your ticket does not include the 700 baht departure tax you will need to pay that prior to check in. I have stayed at the Dusit Srinakarin several times and there is plenty to do around there, but you could equally take the ARL into the city and grab a hotel there.

Traffic Camera Fine Wrong
I think they have misinterpreted the photo, probably the guy behind you has tripped the camera by crossing the white line whilst it was red, but your vehicle has been captured in the photo, but was already in the intersection. The process to appeal should be on the form.

If you don't like it Leave ! Root canal
I had a molar root canal and gold crown done in Bangkok for $1300 and the AU dentist had quoted me $5000 for it (but that was for porcelain and not gold). This was about 5 years ago so prices will have changed a bit, but this is also larger and gold, so I would think ballpark still. From memory there was a specialist dentist that just came once a week to do this type of work and I had to go 4 or five times to have it completed.

Condominium: Who is responsible for the drainpipes which start in my unit and then run along the ceiling from the unit below?
I think in a condo you only own the space inside the walls and the structure is common property. It is worth reading up on as it may not be as you think.

I think there is a $5000 limit per day to do that at Superrich, so I don't think that will work.
