Your statement on olive oil is probably correct but the honey from Lazada or Shopee ? never shopped with Shopee but if there anything like Lazada who openly sell fake goods , I doubt their credibility

Not sure that this is in the correct category but it was the nearest to being appropriate . The question being , how do you know that when shopping for both olive oil and honey , you are buying an authentic product and not just a fake . For example it is well known that fake honey is produced in large volumes in China , shipped to countries that are known to produce real honey and then bottled up and exported from those countries . It is very difficult to tell the difference between the real and fake honey by taste but it can be proven by laboratory testing . Another indicator is that the honey bee population is declining world wide , yet the honey production is soaring . Olive oil is being faked and replaced/ mixed with cheap soybean content . In Thailand it is known that even the big label brands in the superstores are often fake , plus with up to 80% fakes in many western countries and even Italy where much of the olive oil originates , there is a 50% fake rate . Maybe avoid buying expensive / not sure if its olive oil and opting for another oil ?

You could be laying your figures ish on most countries because of the covid pandemic . One part you did not mention was the concerning national household debt that is forecast to hit 95% of gdp this year . Any rise in interest rates will have a devastating effect on many families who must be living week to week .

Over 20s only is a good thing . Look at the Cambodian casinos with young children running around . Thinking they would want proof of funds/cash ( open your wallet or be a known hi-so) in order to show you have the means to gamble and not be an onlooker . There are folk that enter Cambodian casinos with a few coins and spend all day sat in punters seats , very annoying . To those who condemn this venture on the grounds that it will encourage gambling and make the poor poorer , they do not come into the equation because this country only rewards the rich and has been that way for some time e.g. no social security or safety net . The casinos are being set up for those who have money , not a couple of baht . I suppose that the 30% is on the declared profits ? I hope that the government will set up a commissioner to regulate the gambling business as is done in most Western countries . I say bravo to the Thai government for this move to the modern world .

The mind boggles , funny

There is absolutely no doubt that the reason many Thai folks wear mask is because they feel they have some protection from the virus . Fact , some of them wear 2 masks at the same time . What is the sense in wearing a mask on a motor bike , especially when not having a crash helmet .

Yes but be careful who you book with if in a desperate search . Meaning that there are some bad agents out there who will show attractive priced tickets but when the time to fly gets close you will get an email to say the flight price has changed etc . That is when the harm begins . Always better to book direct with the airline although it will be a bit more expensive . Sorry to say that some of these foreign agencies with agents calling themselves name such as Jimmy or David are to be avoided at all costs . Finally the current expensive flights are cause by 1 / Fuel costs 2 / Reduced flights because of lack of check in staff and baggage handlers 3 / High season and school holidays .

Bet you have some stories to tell . Did you keep a diary or photos ?

Are you sure that you got the numbers the right way round and it was 83 cos you double posted the 2 bottles of Sang Thip post . ????

Including yourself ?

You have got it spot on . Check in and baggage handlers are a scarcity and because of the huge delays to passengers ( queues stretching outside of the airport building ) , the airport authorities in the UK have told airline companies to reduce their scheduled flights which of course cuts into the profits , the solution being to increase the cost of their remaining flights to bring the income to near normal . There was a report recently where the flight attendants ( including the pilot ) were helping with the baggage at Heathrow . Of course fuel costs will add to the increase of air fares . I just had a quick Google search for flights to the UK from BKK and return . Both EVA and Scoot seem to have a limited service . Thai Air seem to be running daily but the quote to travel on 6th July and return on the 27th , came out at 71,140 baht . Peak season fares ? If returning late August the quote dropped to 48,000 baht . Just have to say that Scoot Air are a budget airline . I have flown with them twice . First time not too bad because not many passengers but the 2nd time , 2 hours to check in ( only 2 check in staff )which left no time for a snack or a beer before boarding . Their current price is too expensive and I would opt to pay extra to fly with Eva or Thai Air .

I agree with your views . The contradiction is that horse racing and betting on the outcome , 2 lotteries , cock fighting and betting are all allowed ? I reckon Bingo would be a big hit in Thailand ,, especially with the ladies . Betting on line is possible and I make a regular trip to Cambodian casinos

Not sure about consumer protection in Thailand but if there is any recourse you can bet its going to be long winded and many steps . Car manufacturers seem to be OK with their guarantees . -
So what do you propose ? do as your told by Putin or if not he will hit you with a nuclear bomb ( already stated that ) . I predicted that there would have to be an action from either NATO or the UK . The UK had already made talk of joining the Ukraine . Now we hear that NATO is increasing its presence on the eastern flank from 40,000 troops to 300,000 and also sending in battle ships to eastern Europe to a brigade level . If this move does not scare Putin , then nothing will

The exception being if you are involved in a rta and the other party is a Thai , the odds are against you . Only yesterday my lady was hit in her car by a motor bike . The police came along with her insurance company Motor rider clearly at fault . He did not have a crash helmet , no licence , no tax , no insurance . Police fined him 400 baht but he said he had no money . Police told him to go and be more careful in the future . Our insurance will pay for the car repairs but come next ins; renewal , I have no doubt that there will be a hike on the premiums , because of the claim .

There have been hints that the UK army may join with Ukraine troops . Arnold Schwarzenegger in the previous video was right . We have blood on our hands . Watching the murder of innocent civilians every day , watching the flattening of Ukraine every day because of non stop bombing . Putin threatens the nuclear bomb if there is any interference from other nations . He has to be stopped and challenged or he could invade Finland or another country and again use the same threat . Time to call Putin's bluff.

Exactly why I do not subscribe to those social medias . Above are some of the pointless reasons why so many young people and not so young have their heads buried in their phones . How did we get through our teens without a mobile phone ? What is annoying is that some companies have their web pages on these sites and because I am not a member , they may lose my business .

Thanks for the link Charlie , that model looks the Rolls Royce of air fryers and at 5.5 litres can you cook a whole 2 kg chicken in it ?

I did try the search facility but it came up with nothing similar . I have to say that I have tried the search facility here before on other searches and often not got results . Please try yourself , I typed in Air fryer

Anyone using an air fryer . If so , are they any good ? What make and size is your air fryer , plus what food do you cook in it . What do you think the benefits are ?
