  1. I did see it on Lazada, but was more interested in whether any supermarkets etc stock it. Also I'm a bit dubious as to how hot that Masterfoods brand is.
  2. I have yet to see Hot English Mustard on shelves anywhere in Pattaya. Plenty of that Colemans bland yellow goop, but not the Hot. Anyone spotted it anywhere?
  3. Fortunately the banks were in the same building, just a trip on the elevator, but 2 mil. Baht is a sizeable package.
  4. Don't have the app, this was doing it in person at the bank.
  5. Really? A bare wire could cause a shower of sparks just by coming into contact with the blade? It's a thin wire not an angle grinder.
  6. Would that mean my name and account details as well as Kasikorn bank? Because it will be going into my (our) account.
  7. I wanted to do a bank transfer but SCB said it would cost 1500 baht for 2 mil baht, that's why we ended up taking it in cash, but It only costs 20 baht for a cashiers cheque and there are no deposit fees, but it does take a couple of days to clear.
  8. Never needed a cashiers cheque here before, so wondering if it has the recipients name on it, or is it just the cash amount? I wanted to transfer 2 million baht recently to my partners account, and the SCB actually gave it to me in cash as they said this was the easiest way. Then we had to wait in her bank while the 2 mil was counted 3 times. I asked about a Cashiers Cheque but the SCB didn't seem to want to do it that way. We tried to open a joint account recently with Bangkok Bank and the teller said that my partner had to buy 15000 baht of health insurance first. Ended up opening an account with Kasikorn no problems. The rules vary from bank to bank, teller to teller.
  9. Thanks. That makes me rest easier. I will be buying a cordless hedge trimmer with a battery pack, it's the second time in 10 years I've cut the cord.
  10. Well, sparks flew from the blade of the hedge trimmer, so obviously the current came in contact with the trimmer. I just tried the Test button and it flipped of the main breaker.
  11. No shock, and the cord wasn't actually severed, but the cut wires were bared.
  12. Had a new Schneider fuse box installed a few years ago as protection against any shorts or accidental electrical contacts, but yesterday managed to cut the power cord while using an electrical hedge trimmer. It didn't sever the cord completely but sparks flew and the bare wires were exposed. When I inspected the fuse box I was surprised to see no fuses had flipped off. This concerns me a bit as I don't see the breaker box giving us full protection. Am I right?
  13. Why would they run, don't Thais own cars?
  14. Next time you might find all four tyres flat and the car keyed, what's your next step of retaliation?
  15. Who are you going to point to if you find nails in your tyres or your car has been keyed down the side? You might suspect the shop owner, but proving it might prove difficult.
  16. I found it pretty repetitious with the fight scenes. Not something I'd want to watch again.
  17. Haven't had a tooth filled for years, and the ones that were filled have all been pulled.
  18. That's what I thought. Never heard of renewing online.
  19. Why did it take 7 weeks to get? The last time I renewed 5 years ago, I reckon I had the new passport delivered within about 10 days from application.
  20. Hypothetically, what happens if you're too old, and or sick, to make a trip to Bangkok to renew your passport?
  21. Had a couple of molars out a few weeks ago, which only leaves me top and bottom front teeth. Don't know if it's just coincidence but I seem to be producing a lot of saliva to where I'm constantly swallowing and it also is affecting my speech. Obviously a doctors checkup is in order, but wondering if the loss of teeth could be causing it?
  22. Here's the link I saw. The catch is it's for 1000 million baht. https://www.google.co.th/search?dcr=0&sxsrf=ALiCzsZRkfZ8shAZOnhRb1L03Lai80q-qw%3A1663664668083&lei=HIIpY7LeBMuaz7sP3ICQMA&q=best fixed deposit rates in thailand&ved=2ahUKEwiy3MPsgaP6AhVLzXMBHVwABAYQsKwBKAR6BAhJEAU&biw=1594&bih=699&dpr=1
  23. I can't find the link, only this one which is only 1.5% https://www.scb.co.th/content/dam/scb/personal-banking/product-sales-sheet/deposits/special7m-fixed-deposit-en.pdf
