From my experience you first have to collect the free delivery vouchers. Most of the vouchers are 30 or 40 baht and you have to spend a certain amount for the voucher to be applied at the checkout. It will state on the voucher the minimum spend, usually it's either 49 baht or 99 baht. If the delivery price is more than 40 baht then you have to pay the difference.

Why you shouldnt carry cash in Thailand
Dmaxdan replied to CharlieH's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
But If I moved away from cash I'd miss out on counting the money in my wallet several times a day to make sure my wife hasn't taken any! And were would be the fun in that!- 135 replies

One dead, 30 injured in Singapore Airlines emergency landing
Dmaxdan replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It would appear that the plane was close to falling apart. I know that the oxygen masks are supposed to deploy in an emergency but should the air vents be falling down and injuring passengers? The turbulence must have been off the scale! -
At last. Someone who actually understands the Lazada return policy! Well done👏

How do you deal with requests for money .
Dmaxdan replied to tomgreen's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Firstly, you should never ever just give money. If they want a new refrigerator and you want to help out with the purchase then go and buy it yourself. End of. Maybe I've always been lucky. I live in the same village as my in-laws but I've never been asked to give any form of financial support to anyone. For example, earlier this year my wife's 88 year old father died. I offered to make a donation for the funeral but was told it wasn't necessary. Indeed no one else contributed from their own money because everything was fully funded from the village insurance and other sources. That's a lesson in itself for all those naive guys out there who constantly get put upon by their in-laws. Within the family I've always treated as a equal, not a walking ATM. Be a man,not a mouse! -
Beloved Brit found dead in Thailand hotel room

Does the average, healthy 47 year old male need to use the blue pills? -
Why do I always get dandruff after a few weeks of being in Thailand?
Dmaxdan replied to DPat's topic in Health and Medicine
Maybe it's something to do with being a "root" admin... Joking aside, lots of people who come to Thailand complain about what the water does to their hair. -
Amnuay Motor Air 2 just off the superhighway will do it for you but I've no idea how much they charge just for installation. I recently purchased a mirror dash camera there and installation was "included" in the price. Also, there is a girl who works there who speaks fluent English. I believe she is the daughter of the owner. You could send them a message on Google maps to inquire about their installation costs. The responded promptly to my inquirys recently.

Fatal Accident in Chiang Mai Claims Five Lives Including Pregnant Woman
Dmaxdan replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
No that can't possibly be true because the driver is never at fault. The official investigation will be based solely on how much money changes hand. -
Who's Evian and is she available for hire? Joking aside, Evian is naive spelt backwards which pretty much sums up the people who buy it.

I've lived outside of Chiang Mai for 15 years now. Pretty much every one of those years has had a 6-8 week period between the end of March and the middle of May where the temperatures have regularly hit 40+C. But is it a hotter than previous years? Perhaps a little but in my opinion not enough to constantly moan about it. It's called the hot season for a reason. Something that you just have to endure every year. Soon the summer storms will kick in causing wide spread destruction, flooding and potential injuries. So out of the frying pan, into the fire...

You should be able to "clone" a new Android phone from your Google account. It should then precede to download all apps from your account along with passwords and login details onto the new phone. It may take awhile so be patient.

Wise. I tried to use Wise today .
Dmaxdan replied to harry94's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I transferred some money from the UK earlier today using Wise and it went through as normal in seconds. I'm slightly confused about why you would be sent an SMS. That has never been any part of the process that I've come across when using Wise. -
My wife owns one, as does pretty much everybody else that lives out in the country. It's her go to vehicle when she goes off down the dirt tracks and across the fields foraging. And yes, I have been on it as a passenger on short trips around the village. I've never driven it myself but then again I've never ridden any kind of motorcycle. And I never will.

We have a well maintained 12000 BTU inverter air conditioner in our bedroom. The room is 16 square meters. It is set to 25°C and runs every night from about 7:00pm to 5:30am. Our electric bill in April was 1,186 baht. If my wife didn't use the well pump to water her longan orchard our bill would have been under 1000 baht. I'm estimating that May's bill may be a little higher but not by much more than say 200 baht. What I will say is we live out in the sticks so we pay the standard PEA rate. We don't get ripped off by some unscrupulous condo landlord.

Elderly Swiss man in coma after scooter struck by car in Pattaya – VIDEO
Dmaxdan replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
The other car had already stopped so I'm presuming that the driver of the white SUV didn't have right of way and should also have stopped. If that is the case he should be held accountable.... However, in Thailand whether you have right of way or not you should always approach any intersection with extreme caution. The elderly Swiss guy clearly didn't do that. -

Exercise is total BS? In about a year I went from 83 kilos to 70 kilos purely by walking a minimum of 10,000 steps everyday. In all that time I have never changed my diet simply because it was fairly healthy anyway. It was just that as I got older my metabolism slowed down and before I knew where I was I was sporting a paunch. By walking I can allow myself to consume naughty things such as beer, in moderation when ever I please. I have never counted calories. What I will say is, joining expensive gyms is really rather pointless, unless for some reason you want to be a meatheaded, muscle bound superhero wannabe.

Thailand braces for summer storm in 60 provinces
Dmaxdan replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I agree to a point. These summer storms can be extremely destructive and can cause widespread damage to people's property and lively hoods. Bring on the rain yes, but not the gale force winds and lightning. -
