I use a K-Bank VISA card for many years and I have good experience with them. It works and if I call them they pick up the phone and have answers. Maybe two years ago I applied for a Citibank card. I got the card and I can use it without problems. But I think their service is horrible. I tried to call them a couple of times for various reason. It always took forever (think 20min) before I got anybody on the line at all. And it also happened that I waited maybe for 20 minutes and then the computer told me everybody is busy and I should try again later. It's bad when a company puts lots of effort into recruiting new members but when people signed up then there is no service anymore.

What is worse? That Thaksin is willing to sacrifice one family member after the next for more power and more money? Or that those family members do what he wants? Or that people are willing to support any family member from Thaksin just because they are family members of Thaksin? It's all bad. When will the majority of Thai people start to support and elect honest competent people? When will they understand that when they vote for corrupt incompetent people then they shouldn't be surprised if they have a corrupt incompetent government? Obviously that also happens in many other parts of the world, including so called 1st world countries. But that fact this happens elsewhere doesn't make it any better.

Who are of course no worse than corrupt politicians who spent tax payers' money to get themselves and their family members elected so they can enrich themselves even more.

"business owners, tourists want" Are that the people who should decide the direction where Thailand goes? Really?

She looks like such a nice person... ????

When you write this happens then I guess it happens. But at least for me with hundred + orders it never happened. So it is definitely not something that happens often.

Whos idea is it to pay them for not working? Stupid idea - at least IMHO.

With above number, if a bike used i.e. 3l per 100km then a rider would pay less than 30THB for 20km, 10km to work and return. And that should be a reason that he does not work on that day to receive the minimum wage of 300 THB per day or whatever it is now? Strange logic.

Almost always I use the cheap or free delivery option. Because almost always then I don't have to pay tax or duty. And most of the time I can wait.

Do they also have embedded journalists like the Americans in Iraq? And I agree with your full statement from above.

I wonder how his neighbors judge him. Do they say he is stupid like many people in this thread? Do they think he did the right thing so that he doesn't lose face? And what would the neighbors think if he knew she was cheating but he didn't do anything? Obviously what he did was illegal and he shouldn't have done it. But with Thai culture in mind and face and all that I would really like to know the answers to above questions.

Do you think Putin asked them if they want to do that? A long time ago when I was in the military, in a so called 1st world country, you had to follow orders - or else. I don't want to imagine what happens to soldiers in the Russian army who tell their superiors they don't want to invade Ukraine.

I would love to see a survey about that. Because I am sure the majority or Russians don't support Putin's war. And most Ukrainians will know that. Long time ago my parents befriended some Russian people in a holiday. They were nice people and they stayed in contact for many years. They didn't become all bad people because they have a bad leader.

If you would be a healthy young Russian men, would you hurry home to fight Putin's war in Ukraine? How many Russians support that war? As far as I know very few.

I ordered over the years probably hundred or more parcels from AliExpress. In my experience most deliveries are between one and two weeks to Bangkok, sometimes longer. Extreme seldom tax and duty has to be paid. I think I had it one time that something got lost. That was easy to track and I received a replacement without hassle. Another time something was not sent and I canceled the order. No problem. I try to buy local because it is faster. But I don't hesitate to buy it from AliExpress. Important for newbies: AliExpress is like Lazada not one shop. It's an interface for many shops. There are reputable shops and bad shops. Obviously it makes sense to look at the details of what you actually order. And if it sounds too good to be true than likely it is too good to be true. With realistic expectations many shops on AliExpress are fine. If I am not sure then I use the chat function to ask some question, basically any question, to see how fast and how competent they reply.

1. What is the idea about that Make App? 2. Unreasonable? You must be joking. Do you really think all foreigners will be treated in Thailand like Thais? 3. And if you think foreigners should be treated like Thais then have a look a your home country, wherever that might be. Are all foreigners treated like the locals? No!

We could make a survey how often we observed that employees from bar or groups of bars attacked customers without any reason, and how often did a customer refuse to pay (part of) the bill and then got into trouble. Personally I observed already too many cases were the tourist thought they are the tough guys and they don't have to pay. Mistake! And even if anybody thinks he got overcharged he shouldn't be so stupid just to walk out. Pay and then complain to the tourist police. And don't forget to be nice. And things will get sorted.

Google tells me she has a net worth of 14,000,000 USD or 464,940,000 Thai Baht I don't know about you, but if I would have that kind of money I wouldn't worry too much about making more.

Only 6 months...

My "favorite" zebra crossing is this one on Ratchadaphisek Road between Sukhumvit and Rama 4. Typical vehicles speed on that section is regularly something like 100km/h. This zebra crossing is just somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Whoever had the idea to put that zebra crossing at that place should be prosecuted.

Obviously I am not half as smart as you are. And obviously all those marketing companies are just stupid to pay celebrities for ads. After all, everybody would drink alcohol also without ads. Why are those companies so stupid? Maybe they need a bright manager like you.

Most of the time I see them playing with their phones. I guess they do that anywhere, at home, at work, whatever. I guess when they are in Foodland then they get paid while playing with their phones.

Lisa is an idol for many many Thai teens. Many of them will see that ad and many will think drinking whiskey or alcohol in general is cool. Is that the message teens should see? Obviously lots of teens and lots of people of all ages will drink alcohol with or without Lisa. But is it really good that she promotes it? And about making money and being a business manager: Maybe if you would be her business manager you would try to maximize her and your profit. But like I said, does she need all that extra money? I am sure she would still earn a fortune without that ad. And she could be a hero for i.e. promoting positive things like don't drive and drink, etc. Many more people would admire her if she would do something like that.

I find it interesting that it seems many people here support Lisa's activity to promote alcohol. I know people will still drink alcohol even if Lisa wouldn't promote it. But with her millions of young Thai fans I wouldn't be surprised if more young people would be inspired to drink alcohol. Do you think that is positive? I am sure Lisa makes enough money without this. She doesn't need extra income. She could promote i.e. don't drink and drive or similar. That would make her to a real role model.
