  1. As Americans are happy to pay $200 for a $5.00 pair of sneakers. Who are we to question their there wisdom. Wake up call! I Phones are not American, they are Chinese. They should be changed at + 1,000%
  2. If China get pi$$ed off and decides to dump a small proportion of the USD they hold in their currency reserves, then the USD wont be worth toilet paper. Cannot think of anything China "needs" to import from US that they cannot get elsewhere. It will drive them closer to Russia for sure
  3. Introducing a system where the US people have to pay 36% extra tax to the US government if they want to go to the shop and buy anything would not make any sense to the average Thai (or anyone else)
  4. There should be a lot of Hemp around to make bags as they only use the buds for you know what
  5. They could try that in Walking Street
  6. I like free plastic bags as they get recycled into my garbage bags. Saves me having to go to the supermarket to buy single use plastic garbage bags to put in my bin. But I am sure the supermarkets world wide are happy for customers pay for them instead.
  7. I was wondering what the was the OP constant reference to him being a "little Black Duck". Googled it! It is indeed an Australian term: Little Black Duck Therapy is a private regional mental health service that specialises in trauma, attachment & complex behaviours using a relationship-based approach to empower people to live a life they want to share. NDIS therapy and Mental Health Supervision
  8. According to your profile you have been a member of this Forum since 31 January 2015. Made 6,200 Troll posts, come from Australia, repeatedly complain about life in Thailand, claim you want to return to Australia because you dislike life in Thailand so much. But here we are!
  9. So the OP has been in in Pattaya for 10 years but still does not know how to do anything or where it is? Come on! GG is just trying to bump his/her post numbers as usual.
  10. Wikipedia data for 2019 USA 41,694 road deaths 12.7 / 100k inhabitants Thailand 22,428 of which 73% were motorbike = 6,065 car and others 32.2 / 100k inhabitants of which 27% were not on motorbikes = 8.7 / 100k inhabitants 12.7 / 8.7 = 146% Therefore you are 46% more likely to be killed in a car accident in the US than Thailand
  11. Given that 73% of the road fatalities in Thailand are motorbike riders, statistically, you are 50% more likely to be killed in a car crash in the USA
  12. If you want to really try somthing "Organic" buy some eggs at Phala Fishing Village near Sattahip, the hens are running around everywhere. One slight drawback, the eggs taste of fish. Once tasted, never forgotten😝
  13. I thought P was for Poofters (same as Queer) Don't blame me, I am sure a Hetero did not come up with the acronym.
  14. So you are going to sell your tent and bike and buy a Condo. Maybe you should consider Rehab they have nice rooms. Alternativey, you can follow your other plan and live in a tent. I am sure immigration will assist you in getting back to Australia.
  15. He is a swagman. Is that a soi dog you have in your tucker bag?
  16. Going to South Africa in Dec. Anyone know where I can exchange THB for ZAR in Pattaya? Tried next to Friendship but no luck.
  17. As has been said, the price is pushed up by the cost of transport. You have been trying to get people to store your bike for free for about twelve months now. Maybe it could fulfill both of your wishes if you lend her your bike😁
  18. When was the last time you had it emptied? That would be my first move. Costs about 500 baht.
  19. Who pays for all these QR code / credit card readers and wifi connections anyway? No Cash, no going to the market to buy vegetables, no more street food etc. Never going to happen, especially with poorer people who do not have 5G iphones.
  20. Here is one for you How come Australian Leg of Lamb costs AU$15 (340 Baht) in Coles & 350 Baht/ kg in Makro
  21. Get somthing from one of the big rental companies. Somthing you think you would like and check it out. Once you have had the chance to properly evaluate your options. As ou are a tourist, why not rent until you leave? It would be a lot less hassel in the long term and not having to sell at a loss. A new car has red trade plates. You are not allowed to drive it out of the province or be on the road after 6pm Good luck in registering a car with Bangkok trade plates in Phuket. You want to drive from Bangkok to Phuket, so you do not want an EV as it only goes as far as the 7/11 and back. You dont want to get as far as Hua Hin and have to charge it for half a day whilst the kids and the dog go and play on the beach.
  22. Your underpants are too tight. See post about getting XL underware 😆
  23. Marks & Spencer in Central. It is a Brit shop, not cheap but quality.

    Oxygen Cylinder

    We have an urgent requirement to obtain replacement oxygen cylinder for a friend. Can anyone confirm where we can get one? His usual supplier, next to Facino outside BHP is out of stock and we have been told there is a supplier out near the crocodile farm (a long way).
