Since 2011, I've been using Tailor on Ten for my business and smart casual clothes (suits, jackets, blazers, shirts). For "off the shelf" chinos & casual shirts, I use Lacoste, Levi's, M&S, Ralph Lauren and Uniqlo.

First, apologies but I don’t know much about this Demonstration School. However, I can tell you a bit about our son’s education from kindergarten to senior high school in Bangkok. That might be helpful to you. Foundations are key. Therefore, for kindergarten, our son went to English Program at a very good private school (where he got standard curriculum with Thai, English, etc. + Chinese, piano, etc.). Luckily, this school was in our neighbourhood. Then, for his primary and junior high school levels, he studied at a local private school (English Program). We didn’t want him to commute too much and too far at this age. In addition, he continued to study the piano (private lessons at home) and studied French at Alliance Française. In order to get a balanced education, he learnt how to swim, how to play tennis and played football in a club. Eighteen months before the end of his junior high school curriculum, he started to go to a tutorial school (5 hours every Sunday, focused on Maths and Science). In March, he took 2 entrance exams: Triam Udom Suksa School and Satit Prasarnmit Demonstration School. He got both and chose to join Triam Udom Suksa School Science & Maths. From our own experience, but YMMV, your kid will have to rely on 3 elements: good brains, hard work & luck.

Sure... Tesla in China FYI, some facts on the Computer Device industry...

pathetic...

Did you have a look @ the Ideapad Range ? This is the manufacturer's website...

"Standard exhausts are heavy. By changing it for a quality one, you'll save on weight, improve the engine running and modify the look of the bike. BTW, in my initial post I used the conditional tense." I did write: save on weight improve the engine running modify the look of the bike Regarding loosing the warranty... You loose it so much (!) that bike manufacturers launch, quite often, "special editions" with third-party exhausts (ie: Akrapovic, Yoshimura,...) as a part of the package! Have a nice day

All bikes are designed for a standard use (according to their cat.) 1. By definition, humans are all different, riders have various styles and bike uses. Therefore, it makes sense to fine tune the suspension (NB: I didn't write "change", new elements are just an option). 2. Standard exhausts are heavy. By changing it for a quality one, you'll save on weight, improve the engine running and modify the look of the bike. BTW, in my initial post I used the conditional tense.

My 2 cents. I travel 80% of my time in APAC & EMEA for business. For carry-on luggage, I use Tumi (briefcase, shoulder bag) and Rimowa (trolley) For checked-in luggage, i use a low-cost brand. These luggage are badly treated by baggage handlers and thieves will look for the most expensive brands.

Mods that can make a difference? I'd suggest 2: 1. Get your Front / Rear suspensions fine tuned (taking into account your weight, your riding style, etc.), 2. Change your exhaust system for a better one (lighter and more efficient)

a couple of options: You own a smartphone + mobile internet on it > use the Hotspot function Buy and use one ot these 5G/4G/LTE Cellular routers

Embassies, usually, provide certificates of "residence" or the like. Did you contact yours? Another "road" could be the immigration dept.

It's quite easy for a foreigner to get credit cards in Thailand, 3 scenarios: You don't have a work permit and you don't have money in the bank : no credit card You don't have a work permit but you get some money in the bank : you can apply for a "secured credit card" You have a work permit : you can apply for a credit card Years ago, I was in the scenario # 2 and I got a secured credit card. When I decided to be based in Thailand (with a TH work permit), I applied for a credit card and got it! PS: When I was based, as a foreigner, in Czech Republic, Ireland, Kenya, UK, the rules were quite similar: you have a job then you can apply for and get a credit card

If you know the case better... Happy New Year!

Two points to be considered: 1. Ethics (= is it morally OK to act in a certain way?) 2. Law (in this case, concept of "Force Majeure")

Pathetic !

Sorry you are wrong ! Driving licence in the UK Driving licence in France

Yes, I do it. And I do it tax free...

In 2020, I bought this device (THB800 roughly)... Cheap & very easy to use

Some fair comments here... Wine tasting is all about sharing. However, quality wines could be hard to get here, because of: Choice Price (taxes, margins) Quality (storage) Luckily, I manage to get my wines directly from France. I place an order twice a year (Champagne, Muscadet, Chinon, Sancerre, Chablis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Rielsing).

I'm planning to do "Le Puy en Velay - Saint Jacques de Compostelle" next year

For casual style : Marks & Spencer (Central) Uniqlo Decathlon Levi's Etc. The quality is OK Prices vary (promotions, sale, etc.)

I did enjoy Derek's contribution and he'll surely be missed. RIP Fellow Biker

If you say so... Just 3 questions (for the first 2 , I did/do...): 1. Did/do you use any Savile Row' s tailor? 2. Did/do you use BKK tailors such as Tailor on Ten? 3. Did you talk to every single expat based in Bangkok?
