I think Carnage is on record saying that he wants Sterling devalued by 10-15%. The Government are paying this guy $1 million a year so i assume he will have some leeway to implement his ideas. My bet is on Sterling coming down to low 40s by the year end.

Surely you would want to see a service history on a 3 year old car which would clearly show the mileage at each service. If they don't have that i would walk away.

Did anyone use these places today?

Wondering what rate people might have got as I went to Big C today and got 46.36 to the £.

TT was 46.65 today

Check out the note 8 for 15,200 brilliant .

That's a crazy price for an 8 in tablet. You can get the 10 in Asus Memopad for 10,900.

Anything is better than an iphone

I think 11,200 is the official Apple price, i suspect most shops in Tukcom would sell it to you for 9,200 anyway.

Avoid Tuk.Com..............too many copies to be wary of

I think you have to be careful at Tukcom but if you go to one of the main retailers there, like Wattana, they are OK. I noticed yesterday they were selling an i3 Samsung with 4gb ram for 12,900 baht. I bought a Samsung RV418 from Wattana there and it's been great (with copy windows).

In Pattaya hair cuts have just gone up from 70 to 80 baht and i complained at that.

Don't buy second hand, the prices are crazy. 350k will only get you a 6-7 year old car with many kms. 440k gets you a new car with 3 year warranty.

I agree with WayWardWind but if you chose the mail you can go to Soi Post Office off beach Rd. Quite well known for farangs and I believe it is soi 13 or soi 13/1? Maybe someone can say for sure.

It's Soi 13/2, but always crowded. Also Post Offices at Sawang Fa Road, Naklua and Jomtien Soi 5 (Immigration Soi).

I never find it crowded. Whenever i go in i usually just walk straight up to the counter and get served immediately. Much better than the UK.

What do you mean by condo fees, the annual maintenance charge? These vary a lot but are usually 20-40 baht per sq m per month.

Come on we all know the answer - girls.

Does anyone know if this is available in Thailand yet. I see it's on sale now in the UK form 399 GBP.

It seems to tick all the right boxes as an android tablet that can beat the ipad. I hope it's not overpriced as i wouldn't pay 20,000 + when i can get an ipad4 for 14,500.

I wouldn't consider a second hand car in Thailand at the crazy prices they ask. For 390-430,000 you can buy a brand new car with a warranty.

Just bought my tgf a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini 10,900 baht. It looks a very nice with most of the functions of the S3. Having said that the S3 itself looks a good deal at the moment. I think it's worth paying a few thousand baht more to get a decent phone.

I use True's PVR system and i have to say it's very good. True's censorship is annoying though. If it's a film you really like better to buy a proper version. What's also annoying is all the logos that True shows on the screen, sometimes in all 4 corners.

I am definitely NOT an Apple fan but i have to sing the praises of the ipad (or maybe the new Sony Xperia tablet Z when it comes out). It is a joy to use and (hopefully) will last several years. By buying a cheap tab you might save 7-8,000 baht but over time what does that amount to, maybe a few baht a day. Is it worth having a crap product to save 7 baht a day.

My thai girlfriend had the opposite problem she found it very hard to get work. She is young, attractive speaks perfect english but still had problems. Employers seem to want experience, or big money up front (from the employee) or a thai guarantor.

When will people learn - DO NOT buy off plan.

Why buy off plan. There must be thousands of condos already built and you can look around them and make a choice. If you have cash you can probably get a good deal.

I always laugh when i hear the Grande Caribbean advertised on the radio. They have been promoting it for nearly 2 years and they haven't even dug a hole yet. That tells me they haven't got the money to start it let alone finish it.

I always use the Jomtien bus, great service and price and i live just by the bus station.

I would recommend the Pratamnack area. Close to both Jomtien and Pattaya but still a quiet area. On the Thappraya road you have access to baht buses as well. The new Axis development looks very nice, if i was buying again i'd go for that. I think the View Talays are too big and impersonal.

Don't buy off plan.
