  1. The online pharmacy I used stopped accepting orders due to "upgrading" their process. When I enquired how long it would take, part of their reply told me to add them to LINE. A few weeks later I got this message, via LINE, suggesting that laws had been changed regarding ordering medications online. We have now transitioned to a new process where orders are placed with pharmacist through this channel. This change has been implemented to ensure compliance with legal requirements governing the sale of medicines via online channels. Our commitment to providing you with high-quality service and adhering to regulatory standards remains unwavering. You can order the medication via this chat with pharmacist ka.
  2. Not sure you read the article? Nothing to do with popularity, how nice it is, or how it compares to Florida or the Med. The article just states that it is the 11th most expensive city in SEA for luxury living.
  3. If you don't want your phone to connect to the Internet why don't you just turn mobile data off? Maybe it is different on an IPhone, but on Android I can turn mobile data on when I need the Internet but don't have a WiFi connection and turn it off if I don't want to use any mobile data.
  4. The topic of how much the hotel cost used to come up now and then when I have talked to other guests. There was usually a wide variation in how much each guest paid depending on how it was booked, who was paying for it, which country it was booked in, special offers, discounts for multiple bookings,etc.. No one used to bother too much about it then.
  5. My computer has a similar problem. Can't recall when it started. May have been after changing the damaged HDD for a SSD or possibly after updating to Win 11. As soon as the computer goes into sleep mode the WiFi turns off, when you come out of sleep mode the WiFi reconnects. Only really a problem if I am downloading a large file overnight. Unchecked the "allow computer to turn off device" box in power management but still the same. Will change settings so that the screen turns off but computer doesn't sleep if I can't find a solution.
  6. Plumbers putty. https://s.lazada.co.th/s.B5e8Y
  7. Have a check of the English address. There is not enough room on the licence for my full address in English so the computer just randomly shortened it. My address is **/* moo ** in Thai. In English it is **/*, the moo ** is missing.
  8. Had no trouble booking flights. What I totally forgot to do was arrange transport from the arrival airport to my parents house. Walked out of Heathrow 15 years ago and asked a Black Cab driver how much to go to Salisbury. £320! Told him I would think about it and went for a ciggy. Came back and we agreed on £280 as that was all I had on me. Could have got a private driver that lives just around the corner from my parents to do it for £90.
  9. Transferred my wife's land to our son earlier this year to avoid wills and probate. Land was valued at the appraised rate on this website. https://landsmaps.dol.go.th/# Only 1% tax was charged, I was expecting a total of 2.5%. Didn't question it as I was happy with the 1%. All three of us needed to show up. I was required to sign a document due to being married to the land owner. Wasn't asked to show any identification which I thought was strange.
  10. Here they are behaving in their own country.
  11. I am with Bangkok Bank. My SIM card is registered with my old passport number that expired eight years ago and the bank has my current passport number. I have had no issues with the bank app. All the information on SIM cards and bank apps I have read say the names must be identical. No mention of passport or ID numbers matching. The bank has the numbers of my last 5 passports on record.
  12. You can check the appraised value here. https://landsmaps.dol.go.th/# On a mobile you tap the three dots at the bottom right and select current location while you are on the plot of land. It takes a while to do do its thing but should zoom in to your location and show all the plots of land. Double tap the plot you are interested in an the appraised value will come up.
  13. I use a cheap two-sided whetstone, and then keep them sharp with a ceramic hone.
  14. The typical moaning about Thailand manipulating its currency without acknowledging that the USD has dropped about 10% against a basket of currencies over the last few months. Maybe it is the US that is manipulating its currency?
  15. Ramsey Crookall in the IOM. Talked to them and Equinity. Ramsey Crookall supplied a form to request the transfer. Can't remember all the details but both of them were very helpful. If you bank with Lloyds Offshore you can submit a form authorising payments to and from Ramsey Crookall.
