    Taxi to DMK

    At 5am and heading out of town I wouldn’t be using the tollway

    Oh <deleted> get a life

    Yes and all you’re doing is skirting the law. There are also endless stories of those set ups going bad. One such instance with someone I know personally.

    As long as I’ve lived in Thailand I’ve wanted a house, but until I can legally own it and the land it sits on with MY name on the documents I’ll stick to buying condos.

    So you decided to become an immigrant. Or do you call yourself an expat because you think it means you’re not an immigrant.

    Let’s not forget that scamming or at the very least overcharging is sanctioned by the government here. Just a few days ago I tried to enter QS botanical gardens at Mae Rim. The “foreigner” price was a mere 300% rip off instead of the National Park average 1000%. My pink card was refused so we turned the car round and went elsewhere.

    Just because other places have scams it doesn’t excuse Thailand. Thai bashing as you call it is perfectly valid in this case.
  8. Fairynuff
    No, it’s a scam. And it’s not really a choice when the only choice is pay up or don’t go.

    I’ve had quite a few issues with Grab, you have to push and push but I have noticed is that since the lockdowns their CS has hot considerably worse. They’ve also pushed prices up to the degree that I rarely ever use them now. For a while I used Bolt because they were half the price, but their app is a nightmare finding your location and they’re now often more costly than Grab. I’ve mostly gone back to meter taxis or driving myself.

    This is why I never use my passport to check into a Thai hotel. I use my pink card so I can avoid this TM30 nonsense.

    To call that stuff Liptons make tea would get you sued in the UK

    I remember buying them years ago because Villa had them on special. They were a fraction of what they were in Australia and when I looked at the packaging they were made in Indonesia. No Australian would go near them!

    He might get more customers in the Coffee Club if he wasn’t charging very adult prices for very kids size portions.

    Nothing to see here, move on. Yeah right.

    My daughter is about to announce that I’ll be leaving Chiang Mai for Bangkok this weekend. Oh wait, I don’t have a daughter.

    It’s not every office that has their own rules, it’s every OFFICER!

    I didn’t know scammers needed a WP

    As far as I can remember when I had a J7 you could easily just buy a replacement battery whereas newer phones now have to be done by a pro.To be honest I’d recommend just buying a new phone, one of the A series Samsungs eg the A21 would knock spots off a J7
  19. Fairynuff
    With such an old phone it’s most likely the battery.

    I’ve been using True 1 year.unlimited SIM for around 4 years now. I can’t confirm the speed but can confirm that I stream via my Samsung phone hotspot to my TV and it works extremely well wherever I’ve used it. True don’t sell them in store but Lazada and MBK have them for 1800-1900 baht

    Personally I wouldn’t risk getting the one IO who makes up his own rules. Forget how busy your week is and do it on the Friday before.

    This country has (foreigner) entry fees in some cases higher than those in western countries. The difference is that western countries generally have decent facilities whereas here visitor facilities barely even exist. The last time I went to Khao Yai park with a group of Thai friends and one other foreigner none of us went in when they denied us the real entry fee.
  23. Fairynuff
    There is a world of difference between overcharging foreigners and giving a discount to local residents. Your post is factually incorrect. Visit St Pauls in London and the only person who gets in free will be a member of the congregation. Everyone else will pay the same entry fee, even if you lived next door.

    Penang is one of the most interesting places in Asia.

    There isn’t a country on the planet that doesn’t have some degree of corruption, unless of course you live in a state of delusion.
