  1. how do you get the shoppee free shipping vouchers? no one's clarified yet
  2. Sounds like you're the guy who winds the dogs up before others walk by, thanks
  3. "2) don't antagonize an alpha by looking directly into his eyes" would be nice if they'd wear a alpha sign round their neck so it's obvious before eye contact. Today i walked through Pratumnak park sois, probably 20 dogs on each path\soi, i carry a telescopic baton in a waist bag, it works well because it's available in a few seconds plus it's not visible so not an aggressive thing to carry like a stick. Like today as i approach many dogs together, they look nervous, if appropriate i talk in a low non threatening voice and it calms them. So today i passes maybe 80+ dogs and not one issue. For the real hostile dogs can also be young ones, best to report the specific dog so it's taken away. The worst dogs in Pratumnak area i used to see are gone
  4. You're not getting it, testmy.net works accurately with no manipulation, Speedtest doesn't, many people won't want to mess around with settings to try and get the right answer, anyway we can agree to disagree
  5. Amen, if it wasn't for the vaxers we'd probably still be in lockdown
  6. Speedtest is always way out, people don't want to keep changing servers to get the right answer, testmy.net works every time without changing anything
  7. Used to be a bookshop in Harbor Mall, not sure if still there, or Lazada has loads
  8. Definitely available in Pattaya chip shops
  9. Prices in expat shops are higher than Harrods, 80+ baht for baked beans... doesn't bother me as most stuff in those shops are pretty unhealthy so best avoided
  10. When i eat at those thai restaurants selling too small portions i always have to eat before or after, rice, bread, potato or even cornflakes. I went off wholemeal, soda type bread, over rated
  11. Maybe import tax but more likely profiteering
  12. eating pastries are usually a good way of getting fat, they aren't great on satiety index, sounds like you don't eat enough to be a problem. I try and limit the junk stuff like pastries, chocolate, cake etc to once a week max
  13. I agree, no way I'd do a low carb diet, but then again I haven't got a weight problem, lean and eat whenever i want, high carb diet, if i eat and not full i have more carbs until full, works for me
  14. Often guys going back will try to get on benefits, Benefit Britain and all that. The only thing cheaper in UK is golf, annual membership £1k vs £6k Thailand. Council tax is a joke too £250\11k baht a month for very little
  15. i use my UK credit card and sometimes truemoneywallet and COD, no difference
  16. Facebook marketplace will have loads of bikes
  17. Delivery not as good for sure but not a dealbreaker
  18. How do you get the free shipping on Shopee? that's not easy to find whereas easy on Lazada
  19. airport shuttle bus to Jomtien then a bolt taxi to hotel
  20. then they don't figure very well because clearly specials are a lot more
  21. i had the previous Omicron strain and that was very mild, reports were the subsequent strain around at the time was effecting lungs
  22. Not quite, UK for decades has very competitive supermarket prices, now with inflation prices are up same everywhere. Thailand on the other hand not very competitive, probably price fixing going on
  23. 150 for oil is smart, Pattaya it's 200+, if they offered it for same as Thai massage they'd make more money with extras but they can't get their head around that
