It goes a step further, on some trucks it is 80% sealed with silver paper foil. It's all possible in LOS.

It has always put me off buying crypto too, if there is a bank in between you are not sure of your life, sorry I mean to say you don't know if your money is still trusted there.

That is quite normal in this country, for example, if it is a 3-lane road the Thai will make it a 4-lane road if it suits him.

A tachograph with 100% compliance control is the only solution. Keeping in mind that it can be checked even after months.

And yet we may realise every company exists by the grace or the customer but once they earn enough they think they, the company, may call the shots. You see it all around you, whether your name is Apple or Shell or whoever. I mentioned this before, regarding Shell in the Netherlands, before the euro we had the guilder, 1 guilder was 100 cents, similarly we had the nickel, 1 nickel was 5 cents. At some point the penny was abolished and what did Shell do when you went to fill up, they put 2 cents on the pump, without you having filled up.

Is it you Martin? Outside here 43.3º C.

Well let me tell you I have such a hoover, bagless and it will amaze you when you remove the various filters and start cleaning them, it is similar at half and full power and that just because of clogged filters

Maybe it was deliberate of him, besides, Pattya is similar to a small world where everyone runs into each other again.

I admit, it becomes searching and have bought stuff there regularly but since that higher price experience, I don't come there anymore. Recently I was surprised again, needed a new mattress and knew from about 2 years ago that they had a latex mattress for the price of 20000 Thb, now that same mattress has doubled in price and costs 40000 THB.

That does not change my experience I have with that company. There arre better ones....

As long as you are not a Muslim.

Regarding driving up prices, that is correct, from the beginning when Ikea started in Thailand the prices were reasonable and in line with Thailand's pricing policy. After 2 or 3 years when they were assured of sales and revenue, prices went up by 20% on average for no reason. Due to the fact that their head office is in the Netherlands, I complained about this, but arrogantly I was referred back to Thailand.

Apart from Amazon, which has reasonable to good coffee, I otherwise have no positive experience with Thai coffee.

It's a matter of taste, used an expresso machine here for years but stopped using it because I can't get good coffee here, there used to be expresso from DE but after covid no longer available, and do you know what I drink now? Instant coffee from Nestlé.

Overpriced? This week I was in the Makro, Moccona is more than 30% more expensive. There I have little hope that Thailand will allow it, how about Aldi and Lidl, with that they are throwing up their own glasses, not going to happen. Incidentally, I have noticed that many foreign companies are now all Thai-owned, think Lotus, Makro and many others.
