  1. Getting the parts replaced with non-genuine item is a concern here that there are independent high end watch service shop in Bangkok that'll let you watch the watch being serviced if you make an appointment with them, for much cheaper than the official dealer's price too.
  2. Normally they had to compete with other riders to accept the order that show up on their screen by being the quickest to click 'accept' some has fashioned mechanical finger that does the screen clicking repeatedly so that they have the job, that's why you'll see some accept the order but then call you later that their bike broke down in order for you to sympathize and cancel on your end without affecting their score, it's because they won't be able to see what or where the order is and they need to blindly accept all orders in order to compete with other riders so when it rains, they probably quit their app and won't accept any order, some other app might let you put up the 'tip' to incentivize them to accept order
  3. Sure, we can sell you a prescription for 2,500 baht. If you're gullible enough to think a prescription is required or lack the street smart to recognize the situation, you'll get shakedown or ripped off either way
  4. Plenty report of MG ZS needing new battery due to the exhaust valve on the battery that's supposed to only let gasses out failed and lets water in, and a big passing the buck game between insurance and the manufacturer, one claiming it should be quality and defect issue vs an accident due to driving into a puddle
  5. Most reputable company would insist on cashier's cheques or transfer, I'd prefer the cashier's cheque to transfer as I could take it back if something's wrong with the vehicle. I'd be more concerned with the deposit, often the salesperson would take the deposit and all you ever got was a piece of paper written not on the dealership's letterhead with what freebies are include in the deal. There are many tales of sales asking for deposit directly transferred into their account and absconding with your money, if they timed it right they could rip off many customers and disappear in a month
  6. Many house's existing wiring might not be up to code, should the Electric company come to inspect, it's probably safer/cheaper to install a separate circuit and meter than to upgrade wiring for the whole house, plus you can get TOU just for the EV meter in case of PEA so you don't have to have higher daytime rate for the rest of the house should you with to have the off peak rate
  7. Advice.com do 3 hour delivery, got printer and toners from them all the time
  8. NT (the new TOT/CAT) has a pretty good deal on data only sim at the moment, 999 a year for unlimited data the catch is that their network is only on 2300mhz (LTD Band40) so make sure your router support that if you want to try this deal
  9. you get a chance to confirm that the recipient is who they are supposed to be when the name in the system shows up before you hit send to transfer
  10. had the Huawei CPE 5g for a year and a half when my condo only had VDSL and it was definitely faster, speedtest got 280-300mbps but I had to position the router near the windows otherwise the 5g dropped out it cost around 8000 baht back then, but after the initial promotion ran out, the plan that had unlimited internet all came with included voice minutes that I couldn't use, after then my condo finally had fibre to the room so I stop using the 5g There's a newer model from AIS but from RUIO that can be had for around 2000 baht if you open a new sim with them
  11. BigC price is quite competitive if they have sales on TVs, appliance like fans and washing machine looks like they cost the same everywhere BigC, Makro and Lotus, at Makro you can't use credit card so no cashback from your bank....
  12. How much light did you give the seedling? Your plant is very short and compact
  13. Does Costco in the US carry electronics like TVs and Appliance too? from the picture in social media so far Tops Club doesn't appear to have the electronics section Central group's Powerbuy price for electronic are all over the place, Powerbuy in Central department store is one price, then it might be cheaper at their stand alone stores or the ones that used to be in Homeworks/Baan&Beyond don't know it there's any left... If they have discount on electronics too that'd make the membership price worth considering The first few weekend's probably gonna be crowded
  14. Sansaeb Canal where the commuter boat runs, the picture shown is around Wireless road pier The railway bits are near Makkasan there's railway yard and slum in that area north of Petchburi Rd
  15. changing tyre at car dealership is asking to get ripped off, tyre shop will have newer stock for cheaper so too getting your car serviced there after the warranty has ran out, but if you don't know any better, a rip-off garage might do worse
  16. best to get to know a local garage that specializes in Fords, there's no point going to the dealer once the warranty is out. Any Ford mechanic worth his salt would be opening his own shop, It could be anything from (in order of expensiveness to fix) bad fuel, filter, pump, injector or compression loss in one of they cylinders that could be from bad gasket, piston ring or cylinder heads Intake pipe cracks is also common for the 3.2, does the exhaust smokes when you accelerate?
  17. you can keep paying tax on it no problem, you don't need to be the owner to pay taxes and the inspection on the vehicle
  18. if you have copy of their ID, the usual tax/inspection shop runner could make the power of attorney document to 'match' their signature if they had signed on the blue book, plus they'd have the dlt contact that won't look too closely at the documents compared if you were to do it yourself
  19. Thai people kick their relative out of the bluebook into the 'central registry' all the time, cause that's where they serve the papers for courts and repossession of debt. What you had done at the land office is usufruct
  20. Here's the traditional type in Thailand https://www.homepro.co.th/p/1057075?lang=th&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1bqZBhDXARIsANTjCPKxy8i6lUb-IeNnNiQcU-DPMUVlvF9uyYq83KZ-HKrk1jaUJ20fgXUaApH-EALw_wcB
  21. they types of plumber's wrench in your pictures are available in Thai hardware stores, also available are the plastic sleeve type you put over the flex tube to get to the fitting
  22. Because they can get more from Finance, some will part will cash for a premium over the recommended price, but for models that's in demand and there's waiting list for it... forget cash Depends on the model, maybe the manufacturer like Yamaha won't let them put up the price, so they just won't sell for cash, or it's not worth their time there are some stores out of town that still deal with cash will deliver, big one for Bangkok are in Rama 3 or north in Nawa Nakhorn some will even sell online via Shopee and even let you use credit card to pay for the whole amount. Problem is then come service time that your local shop sees that you haven't bought the bike from them then wouldn't even give you the time of day or book you in for a service.
  23. The law's a bit of a grey area at the moment, there are no cannabis law to control how it is sold, grown etc. only that the law that criminalize possession and use is no longer in effect
  24. Still, when they went to exchange the gift item, they'd know the price eventually if they ask what value they can exchange it for
