I order quite regularly from Lazada but just had a first bad experience!  Ordered something which had a picture and video showing how it worked.  When the product arrived, it had completely different packaging and is not the same!  

 

Sent in a bad review highlighting it was fake and Lazada is taking no action. Finally the seller just simply removed the bad review!  I contacted the customer service and they simply said sellers can remove reviews!  What then is the point of reviews - gosh! 

 

Such a disappointing experience.  I'm not sure but i don't think Amazon sellers can simply delete reviews... 

 

So everyone is welcome to sell fakes and post genuine pictures videos etc.  No consumer protection at all???

So strange, sellers can delete negative posts! But the question is: why don't they usually do it? Ratings on Lazada are appaling. Hardly any seller with over 90% positive ratings. At ebay positive ratings of 96-100% are the norm. An ebay shop with under 90% would be dead.

Today I talked with the manager of the developing company. She also said that half the thickness of the outer walls and utility shafts are included in the measurements. With this in mind, the measurement by the land office is probably correct. I decided to pay my final balance, knowing that the habitable space is less than 23 sqm, and excluding balcony not even 20 sqm. Really small, but ok for 1 person.

Thanks you guys for all your input. I am glad I learned so much about the Thai land office's measurement guidelines . ????

Was this ruler long enough to make each measurement in a single measurement?

 

The ruler is foldable with 10 segments, each 20 cm.

I would take into consideration this. How much you paid for the property vs lawyers fees and hassle to get the 1 m2 back in value. 

 

A good point made on the outside measurement being used. Interesting. I thought M2 stated was always measured on the habitable space. 

The measurement guidelines don't seem to to refer to the habitable space. The drawing on the chanod didn't show any inner walls, so I also ignored them in my measurement. Still, I didn't even think about including half the thickness of the outer walls of the unit

Don't forget that the measurement includes any balcony and IIRC half the thickness of the outer walls of the unit.

 

These things can soon add up. It's worth asking the land office for their measurement guidelines (it's going to be in thai of course). You could then re-measure your unit against these guidelines. incidentally, how are you making your measurements?

 

If it is land you can ask the land office for a re-survey (not free), one assumes that you could do that for a condo (no experience there).

 

If I account for half the thickness of the outer walls of the unit, this would be more realistic, although there are still some question marks on it.

Sure I included the balcony in the measurement. I have done it with ruler.

I have bought a new condo in Jomtien and want the property to be transfered to me from the developer (Heights Holding). I have paid for 24 sqm., and the contract states that I have to pay more if the condo is larger and get refunded if smaller. According to the chanod, the size is a bit larger, so I have pay up. I checked the measurement (as on the chanod) and found it completely wrong. It is not even 23 sqm, so I should get a refund. I asked the developer to do a new measurement, but they said the land office did the official measurement, and they only deal with that. At the land office they said, once the measurement is officially on the chanod, it cannot be changed. I should deal with the developer.

I can prove measurements are wrong, but the developer doesn‘t want want to see my photos, they only care about the official, and faulty, measurement by the land office.

Is there anybody out there who has actually checked the measurement on his chanod, and found it wrong?

There is a stench in the cabinet under the kitchen sink in my new condo. I complained several times, they always opened the pipe and cleaned it, and advised me to keep the pipe clean using hot water. The trap seems ok, I think the smell comes out of the joints of the pipe. I wrapped them with cling film, it is a bit better now, but still smelly. I have to keep the cabinet closed.

I need a root canal treatment. My dentist said it is complicated because the canals cannot be seen on the x-ray. It must be done by a specialist with full equipment.

Can anybody recommend a good endodontist?

seems Goverment hospitals have introduced a Farang rate.

2 years ago I went to Chula in Bkk for a short consultation, which was about 100-200 B.

This year I paid for a similar consultation 400, almost as much as private Clinics.

Maybe next I will save myself the unpleasant waiting times and go to a private Clinic.
