  1. My bank in Australia has asked me to verify my Thai address for the issuing of a new credit card, and Fax the details to them. Do people still use Faxes? I might add the first of the three letters I received today was dated 8th February, so that took 3 months to get here!
  2. It's a lottery.
  3. Murphy's on the Darkside does a great cod (2 pieces) and chips, plus one of the best apple crumbles and icecream I've ever had.
  4. Where is Tinnies, too lazy to Google it.
  5. IMDB gives a score of 5.6 which I think is overly generous. I couldn't suffer more than 10 minutes.
  6. Have eaten there a couple of times, think it's a bit overpriced and small serves, but thanks for the suggestion.
  7. Would prefer the Kao Noi, Katolo area if possible.
  8. Have tried Murphy's a few times, and enjoyed the food, but want to try somewhere else that's airconditioned in that general area.
  9. I have done over 5 years ago without any problems, can't say how easy it would be now they've introduced import duty on just about everything.
  10. "Papa's got a brand new bag" So was it really new or just new to him?
  11. You can run aircon 24/7 purely on solar?
  12. No way any insurance company would pay out on that. Drunk and asleep on a footpath? Come on.
  13. Don't have any idea how much extra you pay, but Kerry will pick up and wrap/box for you as well.
  14. Local Thai gardener used to drive me mad with his brrr BRMM brr BRMM use of his petrol weed whacker.
  15. B&W have been making products in China for 25 years.
  16. Any brand, whether tools, kitchen appliances, cars etc can get the odd lemon or develop a fault. Read any reviews for B&D products, hard to find too many dissatisfied customers, but people used to say Hyundai and Kia were cheap Korean sh*t, not so much anymore.
  17. Alternatively, get Kerry (courier) to come and collect and box it as well.
  18. "Truth in advertising" is a joke in Thailand, advertisers seem to be allowed to make any kind of false claims they like.
  19. I had a cheaper model B&W weed whacker previously, it ran faultlessly for 10 years, so I dispute the rubbish claim. Also been using an electric lawn mower for 10 years, also Chinese made.
  20. Thai TV is full of ads for products that are obviously false, like vitamins that give you 20/20 eyesight.
  21. If I bought locaI would still have to send to B&W for repair.
  22. I guess no high temperatures, rough roads or sand and dust in Australia.
  23. Rang them, Samat Prakan is the only one.
