Going back to the OP, Thais can spin on a satang  😞

Imo it’s designed to be a scam and to make the refunds difficult so they can keep some free dough.

It's inconceivable that Lazada, a giant cross border customer oriented organisation, would operate a small-time scam or indeed a scam of any kind. 

Just take Jayboy’s advice and ring ‘em up and get it sorted.

… we are no exotic creatures anymore like we used to be many years ago. So, there is less curiosity involved.

That is exactly right.

Hate is too strong a word imo but checking listings and or recommendations at the bottom of the  page on Lazada is a very good idea.

Same here :)

This, for a change, is a very useful and  informative thread.

Maybe but the BMAX B2 Pro Mini PC seems to contain obsolete components.  For instance the graphics card is no longer in production and was first produced in 2017!

 

Worse is that they’re equipped with a Celeron chip. Alright for non-demanding tasks though.

As an aside, OP probably doesn’t mean to be sarcastic but these desktops are not midgets, they are NUC - Next Unit of Computing - or mini-PCs. It’s the way the world’s going.

A few hundred words in a long paragraph are very easy to assimilate

For anyone who is willing to suffer them.

These huge blocks of text come over as rants and opinions hammered out at great pace without any concern for the reader. It’s as if it’s too much thought or effort is needed in pressing  the return key, and sod what people think 😞

I'm leaving as soon as I can

You’ve been saying this for the longest time but you never go.

Also these huge blocks of text are hard to read, for some of us. It’s rude and inconsiderate to post in such a way.

It'll go away ... eventually.

Agreed, but too optimistic to think it’ll go away in (most) of our lifetimes.

The 300,000 or so Westerners living in Thailand account for less than USD 10 bill per year.

Where is there actual evidence of the number of Westerners living in Thailand?

Good morning: I'm asking for advice because I believe I'm doing the right thing and I don't want to have problems. A person purchased something from me, but the item arrived in poor condition. I am willing to refund the amount to the buyer (even if I am not at fault) and I have sent multiple messages asking for the bank account details for the refund. But he doesn't want to give me the details and actually wants to  report me to the police for fraud, when I, and I'm honest, sent the item in good condition. What can I do?

Doesn’t help with your question re how to send him a refund but is it a certainty that the damaged item he received is the actual item you sent him?
 

Could be that he already had a similar item (which has been scratched) and he’s trying to pull a fast one.

Is Siamburis a shop or just online ? 

As has already been posted, Siamburi’s has a retail shop.

He was complaining on another thread a few days ago that Japanese food was in - his words - garbage. Perhaps this put him off going.

What a topic some get stewed up about.

Being on these forums is like having bad neighbours :(

There’s condensed milk and evaporated milk, at least 2 brands available in Thailand. The one in the pic is evaporated, definitely not suitable for pouring on savoury foods but who knows? maybe some like it.

In the UK, kids have condensed milk sandwiches.

Unfortunately there are some posters who are big heads, others who intend to wind people up, and there are those who are just plain unpleasant.

What do you think?

When it comes to your posts, I don’t think anything, I just move on.
