Looking at shipping costs etc, i say your answer is complete <deleted>.

The difference id due to the importer charging whatever he feels like and retailer having to oblige. look at prices of imported liquor, for example american bourbon. The prices charged are ridiculous. and it is simply gouging by the importer.

Ok , so we are going to see Tariffs on imported goods from USA.. I would like to predict that any item that is imported and has the import tarriff reduced, will not show any price reduction at retail outlet. the difference will be simply absorbed by the deep pockets of the people who need it the least.

why not look at how Singapore handles the problem. It would be a relatively easy fix and works wonderfully.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 28 seconds  

i have been using WISE for years and recently transferred a few million baht in various transaction to my kasikorn account. These transfers went smoothly with the usual turn around time of a few seconds. however tonight i tried to transfer 10K AUD. wise took an exceptionally long time to add it to my account, despite my Aussie bank account telling me that the transfer was completed. wise slowed right down. slowed down to the point where i cancelled the transfer. i contacted the so called help service and asked what was happening and they reassured me that the service was normal and i should try again. I did, with a lesser amount, same slow response. again contacted Wise through lack of help line and i was informed that they had to check my account, i asked "Keenan D" to check my recent transactions, he supposedly did but was absoloutly useless when it came to helping with the transfer. what used to be a great company to deal with has degenerated into a hit and miss affair.

It is a great idea to leave 800K in a Thai bank account at 0% interest. put the 800 K in an Australian bank account and you will get well over the going rate for a visa via an agent in interest alone and the added security of the Thai bank closing your account.

just bought two packets of cigarettes in thailand, 144 baht in Australia not much change out of $100

Has anybody here suffered from pinkeye ? i caught a dose about a week ago and both the eye clinic and local hospital were not that worried. They prescribed drops and antibiotics and said wait it out and come back in a week. i have found this quite surprising and as it has not abated, i am asking for other peoples experiences. Moose
