  1. Good to see someone is grown up enough to get somthing done themselves rather than use an agent. Well done mate!
  2. Or get a new battery of Lazada for 200 Baht
  3. Or a Residence Certificate from Immigration
  4. Anyone know of a good refrigerator engineer. I have what was an expensive Samsung wine cooler. The Samsung service engineers replaced the MPCB and compressor but now say the problem is with the thermostats, which are no longer available. I cannot belive that the thermostats are unique to this particular model (more likely, they do not know what they are doing and make up an excuse to get out the door). I am hoping that someone who understands how these things work may be able to fix it. Thanks Oink
  5. There is an option to order a regular taxi on Bolt at a pre-agreed rate. Get out of that one????

    I tried to get some years ago from the fabric shop on 2nd Road. Confused the heck out of me as they kept showing me reels of cotton. Be aware the English word dye, in Thai sounds like Fie (Fay) which means cotton. So good luck with the blue dye!! ????
  8. The thing is that not everyone considers the medical insurance costs. Once you hit 60 full medical goes up to $3,500 per person. So $7,000 for a retired couple. If you are planning on staying for 10 years, thay is $70,000 (2,400,000 Baht) in insurance premiums. That is why many self insure. Plus if you do get sick your insurance preimums go up after you claim.
  9. In the last week I have been getting "an error occured when sending your request" message whenever I attempt to connect to the VPN I have been using for the last ten years to watch Youtube, Sky News Live etc. VPN provider confirm it is not there end and are running further checks. Asked 3bb if they have started "content filtering" They said they will check and call back. No return call. Somthing is not right. Also I have used an app on my Phone called Dreamlab. It crunches data for cancer research and COVID, but only when the phone is on charge overnight. That is stopped from connecting also. Anyone else experiencing these issues?
  10. One of the banks has a dedicated investment branch in Central Plaza. Shows all the share prices on the screen in the window. There are plenty of western "Financial Advisors" around but they are licenced to work in Thailand.
  11. Free to anyone who wants it. PM me.
