  1. "Shoplifting costs the consumer in the end". No it doesn't, if shoplifting was completely eradicated tomorrow, prices would still keep going up by the same amount, there is capitalism and greed everywhere.
  2. I don't mind the way Makro does it but if I was pushing my trolley with goods in it away from the store and someone approached me and asked to see my receipt, this has never happened, but they would be told in no uncertain manner to get lost as he is accusing me of theft.
  3. What a load of nonsense. This topic must be a great help to anyone considering moving to Thailand. My own advice would be, make sure your intended has a full time job as you must make it clear you will not be helping her parents, brothers or sisters etc financially. If you are unnattractive or overweight forget it altogether unless you are really wealthy and have good pensions every month.
  4. Being teetotal I cannot comment on the whisky, but yes, you are right about the food but just finished a flight to and back from the UK and was following a post about food on the plane and had to get my oar in. It is so easy to drift a bit off topic, I think we all do that at times, but thanks for your output.
  5. Worst flight company for food is KLM by a long way. I have travelled regularly with just about every flight company over the last 20 years. That is my experience.
  6. "Fred's looking pretty good for a 60yo." Sure does, nice to see a guy without a hairy face these days.
  7. Yes indeed, all capitalists. Fill their pockets at the expense of ordinary people.
  8. Just another case of This is Thailand.
  9. A slight change in topic here. Will I be able to get funds transfers to Wise from my UK bank if I change from my Bangkok bank and recieve the funds to my Krungthai bank account instead, or will I just get a lot of hassle?
  10. I have had instant transfers for years without any problems, but not any more it seems.
  11. Monthly expenses. The funds has been taken from my UK bank account. Wise have told me the funds have went to Bangkok bank.
  12. I have transferred funds from my UK bank to Wise who have transferred to my Bangkok bank account, this was yesterday 7th Oct, but my Bangkok Bank has not recieved them. TI went to my Bangkok Bank today and they told me to come back on Friday. this is the first time in all my years with Wise this has ever happened. Do I have anything to worry about?
  13. I agree with you entirely here, I want to change my retirement extensions for the marriage visa, but I am being put off with all the hassle involved and having second thoughts about doing it.
  14. It is not there now but was about 3 months ago.
  15. The large majority of motor cyclists in Thailand.
  16. Yes, I may be wrong but is there actually 400mI of water in this block? You are allowed up to 100mI of liquid in a container.
  17. Debit card in 7-11?? Well maybe the odd one or two.
  18. We know about the taxes and shipping costs, but I think we should all just admit it, the main reason is just pure greed. ie Lazada can sell a tin of corned beef for about 190Bt, that same sized tin though a different brand in Villa Market sells for 400Bt, not much different in the taste but as I have said, just pure greed.
  19. I have seen worst views than that, ie one with a huge boobed hairy chest. Sorry for going off topic but I could not resist that.
  20. and the band plays on.
  21. I only use Lazada if I cannot get anywhere else. Thouands over say about 12 years may amount to about 500Bt a year. Hardly missed. I am really just making a point about their cheating sellers, although I accept there may also be honest ones, but as I mentioned I am still waiting for nearly 4000Bt for a useless "refurbished" laptop.
  22. I have lost thousands over the years to cheating Lazada sellers, the most recent one about 4000Bt for a "refurbished" laptop. Still waiting for refund after about 8 weeks.
  23. As far as I know sim1 for calls and the internet. Nothing on sim2
