  1. Maybe I misread but their website mentions a minimum amount of 5 baht, not 1,000 Thb. Minimum purchase.
  2. Silver is a worthless investment, if you look at its value in recent months you will see that there have been minimal changes, unlike gold, but to invest in it now with its high prices does not seem wise to me either.
  3. Yes, keep insisting that those masks offer protection, but it has been proven that those virus particles are not being, I repeat NOT being stopped by those simple masks worn by the Thais. Maybe soot particles, but that's about it.
  4. You are not the only one, Thai airways left me and my son standing on a return flight back from Hong Kong to Bangkok, of course the Thai was allowed to go back. And to this day I haven't got my money back. How do you mean racist. (x) Sarcasm off.
  5. Unbelievable anyway, they start scaring again regarding a virus that has caused a fraction more deaths worldwide than a commonly known flu virus. They must be hitting the Thai with this, when I see that they are still walking around with large amounts of masks. And then some farangs who can't put it in perspective either.
  6. Of course not, he has a property there, then you won't spend so much money on such a luxury hotel.
  7. These are not known to the tourist, nor to me when I go on holiday for a few days in an area other than where I live. Or should I take my liquor supply with me on holiday in future.
  8. For a long time not visiting national parks due to double fares.
  9. It is not just in the UK but in more european countries, take the Netherlands for example they are planning to raise the retirement age to 70, it is not so long ago that it was already raised from 65 to 68. And to think there are countries in the EU where you can retire at 63. The biggest cause is that it is becoming unaffordable and don't forget that all those imports are costing tons of money with the result that the autentic resident will pay the price and everything will be cut.
  10. It is for the second time in a short time that I read such a post, the first time it was also 2 Chinese, did I read it in AN? Or somewhere else. It is starting to look like a gang, I hope they are not on my air to europe tomorrow though I have a lock on my hand luggage.
  11. It goes a step further, on some trucks it is 80% sealed with silver paper foil. It's all possible in LOS.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. A tachograph with 100% compliance control is the only solution. Keeping in mind that it can be checked even after months.
  15. 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.
  16. Is it you Martin? Outside here 43.3º C.
  17. 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
  18. Maybe it was deliberate of him, besides, Pattya is similar to a small world where everyone runs into each other again.
  19. 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.
  20. That does not change my experience I have with that company. There arre better ones....
  21. 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.
  22. Apart from Amazon, which has reasonable to good coffee, I otherwise have no positive experience with Thai coffee.
  23. 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.
