  1. galaxy s4 is in mbk is 15-16k negeotiable (even the LTE 4G model )

    it blows away the note 2 in every way except screen size

    Bit of an exaggeration methinks. For most folks Note 2 is perfectly adequate for most people and S4 full of superfluous geek stuff. Note 2 hardly gets blown away, Samsung even did a December ROM update to new O/S for it.

    S4 is superior in every way and nearly the same price

    Better camera

    Better screen

    faster cpu/gpu

    4g lte

    2 gb ram but they're both great phones

    S4 is the perfect size for one handed use, note 2 is a bit bigger and

    Thicker

    Can't really go wrong with either

  2. But 69USD seems rather steep for this. It is leather and quite nice, though! Real nice!

    I paid over £100 for my iPhone 5S case. If you want quality you'll pay premium for it. If you want a garish, bright blue, cheap rubber bumper for £3, you'll be in your element.

    Hold on, a minute, sir. I think there is nothing wrong with choosing the utilitarian blue rubber bumper case because it just might be more protective than some leather ones, if it absorbs shock better. That is why they make golf balls out of rubber windings inside. I would definitely not mind using one of the rubber ones IF I could get it in black, not black and blue.

    Also, I agree with you that I prefer hardwood furniture instead of that 1950s 60s plastic multi-colored pink, lime green, crappy stuff I saw in my neighbors houses sometimes. I like fine carpets and rugs, hard wood floors, Steinway pianos and original art on the walls, but sometimes I cannot afford the millions for 1 Van Gogh, that I dearly want.

    So, I get a copy painted in China. And I wonder where I can get a nice leather knock-off from China. There sometimes differ very little from the originals, and sometimes these copies are actually being produced by the same factories that make the originals.

    So, to the fellow with the blue case, I say fine!

    And just give me a black one.

    But 65 dollars for a case? I say no way because I will keep looking until I find basically the same thing for 12 or 15. You ought to take a look at the documentary which exposed the real cost of these Gucci bags and other leather bags, where they are produced using slave labor. So 65 USD I will not pay.

    Tks.

    It won't be the same for 12 or 15 bucks. It will most likely be PE leather. PD Air cases are the real thing. Very well made, and worth the expense if you value quality.

    Sent from my BN NookHD+ using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

    no phone case is worth over $100

    i cant see the smartness of buying a case thats costs maybe 20%+ of the item

    thats going to be losing value every 3 months anyway

    if you can make it last 4 years the case price will exceed the value of the phone itself

  3. the cpu and gpus at the moment are way overpowered for calls ,emails,browsing ,sms,skype etc

    i have an s4 and in everyday use its not that much better than the s2 or s3 was

    unless youre doing complex tasks or playing 3d games you wouldnt really notice

    the differnce

    maybe a better camera but the 8mg camera on the s2 and s3 is almost as clear as the 13mg camera on the s4

  4. any 5 star hotel usually doesnt charge either if youre cheeky enough to go in ,park

    take the lift upstairs and have a beer if you like

    then walk straight out the front door and take a taxi to the airport biggrin.png

    Probably without exception 5 star hotels will issue a ticket when the car is parked and the charge for parking will be made before the vehicle is allowed to exit the car park. If you use the hotel facilities before you leave the ticket will be stamped for free parking for a limited period unless you are registered as a guest.

    Unless you know different and can indicate which hotels have no objection to being used as free car parks.

    i do know one in central bkk that doesnt issue tickets or stamps but i probably should name it online

    btw i didnt say they had no objection to it being used as a free car park (just that its possible to park there and go upstairs and leave

    via the main exit and colect the car after a few days in singapore without any charges )

  5. you can buy cocnuts allover from 10-20thb in the neghbourhoods and probably more in the tourst areas

    i used to buy them but have heard rumours that unsweetened cocnuts were injected with insulin to make

    them taste sweeter ,i dont know if thats true or false but it put me off them

  6. I aint quite worked out as to what he thought my post was, a serious one or a joke...(an old one at that), though they do say some of the old jokes are the best.....facepalm.giffacepalm.giffacepalm.gif

    If he did think I was serious I'd like to think there is an increase in sales of cheap wallets and used car sales, the Thai economy could do with an increase at the moment...facepalm.gif

    "though they do say some of the old jokes are the best"

    Some hope for Pattaya then - there's lots there -

    As it goes, the last couple of years going to Pattaya I've noticed it seems to be attracting a younger crowd compared to say ten years ago..Maybe a lot of the OLD jokers have left due to their pensions not stretching as far as they did years ago..

    I love to see the day of 75 + baht to return but I aint expecting it any time soon...sad.png

    A lot of younger Russians now, seems it's their Benidorm...

    poople are retiring younger if they can

    nobody wants to be a slave work til 65-70 anymore
