Q. I saw goods marked at a price in a shop but when I took them to the till to pay the shop refused to sell them to me saying they had the wrong price on. Can they do this?

A. When a mistake like this happens, the trader is not obliged to sell you the goods at the lower price. He is entitled to withdraw the goods from sale until the problem is rectified. You cannot insist on buying the goods at the lower price. However, if the trader tries to charge you more for the goods than the advertised lower price, then a misleading price indication could be given, which is a criminal offence. If this happens and you are not satisfied with the trader's explanation of how it happened, then let Consumer Protection know

So better for me in future to say nothing at the checkout if I spot a mistake, pay for the goods at say a higher price and then take it up with the store manager after the transaction, cause I now have more leverage as they have commited a criminal offence.

I think that you will find that the trader is covered if a genuine mistake is made and there would be no grounds for prosecution.

The OP asked a civilised and sensible question and I am sure that he did not expect silly bickering to break out.

Please keep it on topic and if you have nothing sensible to say which would assist the OP then I suggest saying nothing is the way to go.

Thanks.

Apologies if my post did not make sense, English has never beeen my strongest subject.

The consumer protection act (UK) guarantees that the store will give you the item at the cheaper price ie if the shelf price is 100 baht but when scanned in a the checkout it rings up 1000 baht the store has to sell you the goods at 100 baht,

I think that you will find that if the store has made a genuine mistake when pricing an item then they will not be prosecuted under the consumer protection act in the UK.

All of us make mistakes at some time even the high street stores.

Excellent result.

I was listening to a discussion about this yesterday and it seems that because of the goal difference and points Leeds would need in order to stay up it would be far better to go into administration before the end of the season and take the hit of the 10 points now.

It would mean that next season they would start on a level playing field in Division One and hopefully be able to bounce back into the Championship.

Bangkok Bank have to inform the BOT (Bank Of Thailand) about a transfer out of the Kingdom for the amount which you want transferring.

One of the reasons for this is to ensure that the correct tax has been paid on the amount should the money have been earned in Thailand.

Therefore it is expected that the bank cashier would ask you for proof that the funds had originated from overseas.

Your overseas bank should be able to provide an itemised list showing the dates and amounts transferred into the Kingdom and to what recipient source.

We do not allow racist topics and this thread is degenerating fast and already a number of forum rules have been broken so I am closing it.

Don`t let the Pattaya bashers put you off.

You and the kids will have a great time in Pattaya. There is an excellent selection of hotels away from the hustle and bustle of South Pattaya and other areas.

Lots to do and see and many places of interest to explore in and near to Pattaya. I will list a few down here for you.

As this topic is not Thai related and is degenerating into racist issues it seems that now is the appropriate time to close it.

Mobi, you mention using Betaxolol opthalmic solution which I am sure that you are aware can also in some instances cause drug interactions with oral beta-adrenic blocking agents such as propranolol or atenolol and can result in causing excessively low blood pressure or reductions in the heart rate.

I mention this purely because you are having difficulty in finding your usual strength Betaxolol solution and maybe now could be the time to look for an alternative which may not have the same side effects.
