Hundreds of chinese websites selling exactly the same things, are you going to ask about all of them ?

Not so smart to sit in front also...
In Bangna Pattaya bus accident all people sat in front died.
As someone said, everything you do is to look into problems. Try to take better decisions in the future.

Yes and you should be very careful. Alibaba do very little if you are the subject of fraud, deception or mis-selling by them or their advertisers. You can find yourself, literally thousands of dollars out of pocket and being charged with illegal importing of undeclared goods by Thai Customs, as I was with water filtration equipment. I have complained but Alibaba simply don't care and simply walk away. Please take this warning as being deadly serious.
What about paying with Paypal ?
Problem solved !

The key word, as has been said many times, is "enforcement", until we have reliable and consistent enforcers nothing is going to change no matter how many new rules are put in place.
EDIT
I learnt to drive in the UK in the late 70s, at that time seatbelt and helmet legislation was just coming in along with tachographs on HGV and PSV.
I reckon that early 80's UK was about the right level, enough control to ensure a reasonable level of safety, but not so much as the nanny state we have now where speed cameras are an income stream not a safety device.
If Thailand could get to that level ...
So it will never change. Enforcement means 10000 thb fine for any offence and jail time for drunk driving.
Then when many drunk low pickup drivers so will have friends staying in jail for weeks or months, and I repeat MANY, then they will start to wonder if they should change their attitude, and even, not sure...
Si the result is that 1 year is not enough for Thai to have enough friends who paid 10000+ fine or have been sent to jail, as they are quite slow to understand, they need several years before it comes to their brain.
I can think about mentality change starting in 2020 but maybe wait 2025 for most to start thinking that it's time to really change !

Not sure if you want something like shipto or personal shopper ? I used both, shipto just forwards and personal shopper buys anything for you and send it anywhere in the world:

Just got married at Bangrak last week, got a "freedom to marry" certificate at the Dutch embassy AND had to give proof of income that included my title in the company. This was in the form of a letter from my employer and had to be translated and legalized at some Thai government department along with the "freedom to marry" letter from the embassy. The letter of income was scrutinized at Bangrak and did not have the amount in Bath, this was calculated and inserted into the document and the marriage was finalized. It seems that this proof of income was important and without it the marriage could not proceed. To conclude the OP is correct without proof of income the Thai authorities will not marry a foreigner and Thai.
If you have a printer you have one. Your Thai scrutinized part (by a Thai!) made me laugh :-)

Big items have more chance to be noticed by customs...

ROAD SAFETY in 2017, do you believe that anything will REALLY CHANGE ?
Hello,
Just wondering if you anybody here believes that road safety will improve in Thailand this year ?
It's clearly impossible for me, because people in charge have no idea themselves about safety and other things.
How many times I have seen kids without safety belt in the front seat of Porsche, Benz and other luxury cars that supposed educated and rich people buy.
People in charge of this country are exactly the same old people as these ones and this is the reason why nothing will change, they just know nothing !
Their only chance would be to bring consultants from US or EU and let them decide, but is is also clearly impossible, Thai are too smart to need help...

Any fake document perfectly works ! Never hesitate to provide any stupid document that they would ask <3

Hi, if you talk about S.P.A vegetarian meat, yes it's quite good, but hard to find as stupid bigc and lotus don't have it.
Do you know any other good brand of vegetarian food ?
Thank you.

I think legal residents can get a border pass like Lao citizens can get. Same for the Thai side for those holding permanent residency.
Very difficult to get a permanent lao visa even when paying immigration a lot...

Things seem to be getting more and more crazy regarding visa's. What possible benefit is there to Thailand to stop expats in Laos come on shopping trips here? Or just frequent holidays?
Nothing stops them if they pay for the correct visa !
It's Christmas, buy an Elite card for the whole family :-)

The main reason is the completely unacceptable behaviour of the Thai male population.
So true !

Among all the nice people that we meet in Thailand, Toms have always been the most unfriendly ones.
Too many Toms in this country to be just a choice for most of them. It is often related to some "hate" for males.
Just as there are too many ladyboys to be caused by a real deep idea of what they think they are. It's also a lifestyle or something that just happened in their lives.

Because in some cases, you still have to made a trip to your local immigration's office (you can't choose it), which might by chance be a longer trip than crossing the border, if on top of that you add the fact that you have to share very private things with these "....", as a picture of you and your wife on the bed where you do your many other rather private things, someone (not everyone, but still) might find that a little uncomfortable.
Then you can add other stuff, as ending up having to meet some very unpleasant individuals EVERY few months, it makes crossing the border a much nicer experience, especially if it's a place with a big market, but unfortunately, thais are great at destroying any nice things that a foreigner might experience, and even doing a crossing at Poipet, has become a hell of a nightmare......
Thank you for explaining all these things that I do not have energy to explain anymore to people who keep complaining about their bad immigration office experience...
It's so clear that the more information you give to people the more they have a chance to check you and make problems...
But it seems that many will never understand anything right.

Sorry if it's too difficult to understand that all these chinese shops exactly work on the same model and there is no reason to ask any stupid question about them. They all are exactly the same shops selling the same products delivering the same way !
