Big mistake I think. You gave him a reason to look more closely than he would have. That border has a reputation for being a very easy one to negotiate. Giving him something to look at most definately was an error.

I think it depends on the office. Despite many people rubbishing Jomtien immigration, usually people that dont use it, I find it excellent. 3 months ago when I returned to Thailand with a new passport I visited to change the Retirement extension stamps over. This was a very quick process and collected the following day. When my 90 day report was due with the new passport I submitted an online report in the afternoon and it was accepted and returned the following morning. Cant beat that.

Why did you feel the need to say anything? You should have just given the IO your passport and say nothing. Chances are you would have been stamped in with no issues.

One thing that annoys me is that they have followed Macro in only accepting local Thailand credit cards. The first time I went there I paid by my no fee excellent exchange rate Halifax Clarity Card since then its been a no no. I am one of these people who keep as little money as possible in Thailand and prefer to settle my bills at one time in the UK.

I think its free over 1000 baht owned by Central group same owner as Tops.

I know you said you have been there but you are showing the online prices. You actually have to go there to see the excellent offers. I posted before about the fantastic crab we got for 120 baht a kilo, the Mother in Law got 2 fish 17 baht each. Last week we got 2 very large packets of Chicken Nuggets very good quality great for kids at buy 1 get one free for 159 baht. I had some myself very tasty. Give it a chance.

Maybe its the pillution lol

Big C are shooting themselves in the foot. We only go there for a few things that are not in Lotus's. On comparaing prices Big C is nearly always more expensive for the same branded item. The meat counter used to be good quality its now average. The Bakery is very expensive 26 baht for a small baggette it was 18 baht not so long ago. With the opening of Go Wholesale next door they will lose further customers.

If there was a big pharmacy on the Skytrain, where would all the passengers sit?

I think that you and your 2 pals Bigknob and Bob Smith only exist to think of banal topics to post on this forum. Are you that bored and sad. I know you will say that I replied but its about time for you grow up and stop boring us with these threads with your Clickbait titles.

It depends what you are looking for. Granted the non fresh food sections are similar or more expensive than Macro. However the fresh counters beat Macro hands down. The fresh crab, prawns etc are excellent and fresh. The other day the fresh crab was 120 baht a kilo. My wife bought loads of it to freeze. Granted its now over 500 baht now but there are offers. Also the fresh meat is far superior to Macro.

Of course. Where there's a will there's a way.

Yes I guessed that just having a laugh lol

Do you really mean what you posted? Lol.

My comment obviously went straight over your head lol

No you can only drive and own a car in Thailand if you have a work permit. Ask a silly question and get a silly answer.

Interpret what I wrote however you want. I shall clarify my words. The platform has a guarantee that is nothing to do with the seller. This is in addition to any guarantee offered by the seller. I thought that was clear. But as you are obviously a pedantic individual I should have made it clearer.

Calm down pal. If you ordered from Lazada they have a guarantee, nothing to do with the seller. You got a warning from the platform for not accepting a delivery and quite right too. How do you know he didnt get any hassle and loose out, just because he still delivers proves nothing. You posted on a public forum so its up to me if I comment or not. The problem with people like you is that you try and apply western standards and processes when they don't apply in Thailand.

In Thailand on Lazada/Shopee they are delivery people as simple as that. Nothing to do with the company. If you refuse to accept the order you are sçamming the delivery guy and he probably will be out of pocket. There is a returns process use it in future.

Whats sleazy about Pattaya?

I've lived here 16+ years now and I can honestly state that this one instance isn't "destroying the image of Phuket taxis" I can honestly say I have never had a problem with a taxi driver. Most of them just sit there and say nothing. If they want to chat its fine. Some foreigners are just rude to the drivers and then complain when they get a reaction.

I went there this morning. Some excellent special offers at the moment. Its clear to see the quality of the food on offer is far superior to Makro and the price is cheaper. I shall be a regular if things don't change.

Download the Go Wholesale app and register.

What a door handle you are.

If anyone is interested. Go Wholesale by Central group will be opening a major store on the site of the old Baan & Beyond in South Pattaya next to Big C, this week. It is similar to the Makro stores
