I gave you a confused emoji for the whole post but mostly this bit "Contralled stream of officially facts" is not free speech, far from it, it is what we have now certain powerful entities decide what the narrative/facts is going to be and do their upmost to maintain that narrative/facts whatever the cost to the "free speech" of others their opinions,livelihood careers and reputations can go take a flying duck !!! 🤮 -
The language barrier can be a big problem, I have had good and bad experiences asking a Thai the product specifications, maybe overall more bad than good but I don't think that's really a Thai thing more of a miscommunication and "paying peanuts" problem which so often results in ? whatever country.

Well yes when it works its all good but when something goes wrong trying to solve the problem online with a Thai (or any one else) can be a bit of a nightmare at least with a local physical shop you just take the defective product back to them and demand a replacement or refund... (stomping feet and shouting loudly optional but not really advised 😋)

IMHO the phone app is not nice to use at all 🤢 no wonder they give some discounts for the mental and physical torture endured while using the piddly screen and keyboard size of a mobile device 😋

Really ? can't say I noticed them are you counting the floor at street level as the first floor ? or is it Basement, Ground, first,second etc for me I'd call the "ground" floor first floor and the second floor is where all the mobile phone shops are third floor has printer shops as well as Power Buy which is looking to go the same way as Amorn IMHO, fourth floor has Mr D.I.Y and the games/DVD shops fifth floor now closed had another big name computer shop occupying the whole floor the name of which evades me at the moment. This sign amused me a bit can't remember which floor it was either old age is setting in.

Yes It looks more and more sparse every time I visit 😢

I'm pretty sure the returns policy is against consumer protection law and they would have refunded if threatened,apparently the consumer protection department are very much on the side of a consumer and the shops know full well that they mean business...anyway I have never tried to get them involved. As for the stock I would imagine they took it to the Siricha Tukcom branch which I believe is still open...ahh the (not so) "good ole" days of having to drive from Pattaya to Siricha for all computer equipment what a pain in the backside that was. I like Mr D.I.Y and they carry a large range of stuff that Amorn don't but at the same time as mentioned by others Amorn carries lots of sometimes harder to find spare parts for electronic appliances and it's a shame they made the decision to close the Pattaya branch.

Sadly the Amorn shop in Tukcom basement has closed its shutters for the last time. R.I.P you will be missed by many.
-
I went mid day yesterday ...shuters down and locked almost everything cleared out inside the shop..I asked the staff at Tops they said its closed for good...I think Mr D.I.Y took a large chunk of their customers. Sad to see it gone they had loads of good stuff in there especially the spare parts for washing machines and electric fans.

Amorn basement Tukcom Pattaya is gone R.I.P
-
Well sadly I made a correct prediction Amorn in the basement of Tuckcom Pattaya is gone R.I.P.

I remember back in 1996 -2000's before the mobile phones they where really quite anal about taking photos in the shopping malls, I was reprimanded a couple of times by security that literally ran across the mall at the sight of my 35mm old school camera before I even got a chance to take a shot ! nowadays everyone has a phone and taking photos and video is no longer a problem they probably even welcome the free advertising as they should have in the first place.

African travellers must register for health pass to combat mpox
johng replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They haven't sold aspirin at Tesco Lotus'sss,Big C ,Tops, Sevell ellevel..Boots,Watson's etc etc for quite a few years now, for some reason they seem to think its a class A drug ....yes i'm well aware of the danger of Aspirin and dengue fever. There are sometimes 80mg "for heart conditions" tablets available at silly prices in Fascino "Tun Jai" aspirin powder in sachets I think is still available online. -
The stupidly load exhaust systems are worse along with the belching black diesel smoke disco lights to light up the moon and amusing but irrelevant rear view mirrors adorned with Michelin Bibendums !
