Maybe you should visit India for a month or two. After that you wish you had only one hotel full of Indians. 😉

Buying a condominium when you are in Thailand is one thing. Buying one without being in Thailand is another one. I bought one in Thailand, without a lawyer. I had a friend, who is a former property agent, supervising the process. No problem. If you are not in Thailand, then obviously you need someone who you trust with a lot of money. I would consider coming to Thailand to do it here yourself.

I didn't look at the video I added in my post above. I saw many of his videos which are mostly about Apple hardware and their repair policies. He shows often enough that Apple charges enormous amounts of money to fix minor problems. It seems you are an Apple fan and if you want to buy their products and be happy with them then do that. For everybody else, who don't want to be ripped off, here is another video. I watched that one and Louis knows what he is talking about.

In other news: 30 greedy women didn't get what they wanted.

Let's look when she will flee to Dubai like the others. It seems to be a family tradition.

Good luck for you. Louis business is repairing Apple products and recovering data from Apple products. He does that since many years very successful. He couldn't do that successfully if Apple would do it themselves. I know not all Apple products fail and other brands have also their problems. This thread is about Apple and there won't be many people who are more qualified talking about the hardware and repair politics than Louis. Just watch some of his videos.

I go all the time to a great little coffee shop in Sukhumvit and I drink my espresso there. They also sell the beans which they use. A friend buys from Starbucks. Pick what you like.

I never saw him talking about iOS. I watched countless of his videos where he repairs the electronics - which is obviously very different from using the device. I selected one of his videos without watching it - because I guess most people are not really interesting in working on SMD parts under a microscope. What Louis shows in many of his hardware related videos is how Apple rips of the customers by making it hard to impossible to repair a device. The error might be a chip which usually cost max a few dollars. But Apple makes sure nobody can buy the chips so that they can sell replacement parts for hundreds or thousands of dollars. They also have some design flaws since years. And they do nothing about it. I think it is interesting that from an electronic engineering point of view Apple is by far not as good as many people think it is.

They are for sure different. Growing up with smart phones and social media has consequences.

Legalizing Casinos would be a huge problem. No tea money anymore for police officers to look the other way.

No Accept reality (in Thailand).

There are enough specialty coffee beans available in Thailand. Just look around, test, and choose what you like.

Probably the bike was in the place which the taxi guy thought is his parking place. That is obviously nothing that can be allowed to happen in Thailand.

I wonder if that influential figure is on the list which is currently made up by the government. Or is he one of the influential figures which support the government and must be obeyed? TiT

I would love to see a survey of PT supporters. Do they prefer the relatively young and inexperienced daughter of the criminal to follow his orders? Or do they prefer and older and at least half competent man to follow the orders of the criminal? Or would they want that the criminal is installed as PM when he is released from prison?

Why would anybody think that is unusual?

Listen to the top expert. He repairs Apple products since years and he is very good at his job. The following video is not new. He has hundreds of more videos if you have a specific product in mind.

I would try to go to a trusted service center. +/- 100km should not be a big deal. If you are not sure, call them.

Really? What exactly did Yingluck do except following the orders of her criminal brother and being a convicted criminal like her brother? I heard lots of Thai people being pound of having a pretty PM. Yeah, that was about her only "achievement". Paetongtarn doesn't even qualify in that department. She is absolutely nothing, zero, without her family connection.

I know Central Embassy exists. I see it from the street but I never had the desire to walk into that place. I have little knowledge about retail and rents. If brands like IKEA can get a deal like that then that is obviously good for them. But in general, I guess mall management companies will prefer companies which pay a lot of rent. I was a few times in IKEA Bangna, it takes at least 1/2 hour for me to get there. I guess in the future I will go to the Sukhumvit branch with is 5min away from my home. But will I spend in total more money for IKEA. D don't think so. And will I spend more money for other shops in the same building? Maybe. Like maybe I go to Swensons there instead of the Swensons in Terminal 21. Maybe someone has some statistics about these places in Bangkok. Personally I think there are more than enough shopping malls in this town since years. More of the same will help to distribute the business from other malls. But will it add new business? I have my doubt.

You want cheap and decent quality at the same time? Really? Maybe some 2nd hand sale.

What a surprise. Or maybe not? 😉

I wonder how that will work out. They need a lot of space to show a decent selection and a lot of space in that area is very expensive. That means they have to sell a lot. Or, to be precise, they have to sell a lot more than now with the existing shops and online. Will the additional shop bring so much more business? Let's see.

Yes, it still goes on. And this is why owner and committees do more and more implement measures against that.

I own also something like a Click, a Raider 150, obviously with clutch and proper gearbox. An additional bike with a "big" engine and small frame is about having fun. The opposite of a big plastic box with little engine. 😉 About Goose: I saw the original Mad Max movie at that time with that bike. It looked like a lot of fun.
