  1. The shop opposite Jomtien bus station, Foodmarket, Second road, has a lot of different tea brands, including Lipton, at least two days ago. They also have much other Western food like English ham and so on. Pantry, further down on the same street, just opposite where the bahtbuses turn down to Jomtien Beach Road also have much Western food. Otherwise Lazada is a good choise. They delivere normally within 3 days.
  2. I moved here because of a thai woman I met in London, and stay here because of the laidback life.
  3. Maybe they do, but I have not find it as a big problem yet. Even if they use slang I understand so much that I can ask them to explain if needed. It also could depend on the age and education of the people you listen to. But I should admit that there could be some understanding problems when listening to people from Isaan as they speak a kind of Laos dialect (If they not speak Thai). But not really any big problem so far.
  4. I have the same problem as you, hearing loss. I went to the shop at Klang, but it was closed for one month at that time. I found another one in Jomtien and went there to talk to them. They suggested a Danich model, that including test would cost around 40 000 Baht. I decided to instead buy a pair from Lazada for about 700 Baht. They worked very good, but it was still a problem. Even if I could hear what people said, many of them speak Thai so the solution was not quite right for me as I don´t understand Thai. Back to Lazada and bought a translator that include an app for the phone and what looks like an earphone connected to the phone through Bluetooth. It cost about 12000 Baht and the translation is read in the "earphone with a few seconds delay. Thie combination of translator in one ear and hearing aid in the other works perfect for me.
  5. I can afford it, it is not about that. Imagine this. You go into a shop, see something that you need or want to buy. The price is set to 300 baht. You think that is well worth it, and put it in your basket. When you come to the cashier, you see that he has put the price at 467 baht. When you ask why, the cashier says, "The price is 300 baht, but you have to pay me 167 baht extra or you won't get it". Would you just accept that? Up to you, but I still think it is a scam.
  6. I don't complain about the low airfare tickets. I complain that I have to pay more than half of the two ticket prices to pay for them.
  7. Thanks, I saved this for the next flight-
  8. Next week I am going to Ubon (the candle festival). I live in Pattaya, so getting there by bus was no choice. Instead, I looked for cheap flight tickets. I found one on Viet jet. 1200 baht for a ticket to Ubon and back to Bangkok a couple of days later. I started ordering the ticket. After I had filled in the flight dates and times, I got a question: did I want a special seat (that would cost extra)? I did not fill it in (the answer no was not a possibility). Then I get a new question: Do you want a meal? As before, I did not fill it in as this question, like the other, could not be answered with a no. Then I got a third question, and that was how I would like to pay. They gave three choices, and within the time limit they gave I only had one choice: Pay on 7/11. Then came the scam. It will cost me more than 700 Baht extra to pay at 7/11. That is more than half of the price for the tickets from Bangkok to Ubon and back again! Have you ever heard of something like that before? So Viet Jet, I will fly with you this time, but never again, because I do not like to feed scammers.
  9. There is no global meaning of life, and the meaning of life is not something given. You must find out what makes living meaningful for you and strive to live so it happens. Easy as that.
  10. Gaza would not have looked like it does without the American support of Israel.
  11. Can you please explain how the “richest country in the world” can have a larger national debt than GDP? Borrowed money is not its own money, as you and Trump seem to believe. The US needs friends.
  12. On ThaiFriendly 5 out of 10 messages offer sex for money (ST/LT). But that is of course Thai women that offer that, maybe other rules for those, I do not know.
  13. Good question, others have asked that too, and the answer is two. I have not thought about it. The other reason is that I have had this medication for about 10 years and those pills I get are working fine. 555, in fact, the first pills I got, gave me an allergic reaction my throat swelled up, and so did my di*k. With one hand I could not reach around it when it was "sleeping", and no, my wife was not happy about it either.
  14. Thanks for the good advice.
