  1. The "caucasians" (or the other way round) will badly treat or discriminate the other communities. The other commuities being hardworking would attain financal status nevertheless and give it back at one point, once they are socially and politically more powerful. Then the caucasions again give it back - tits for tat in an absurd never ending belligerancy that destroies social harmony and prosperity to some extent. Marc-Aurèle would have said treat others as you would like to be treated,
  2. OP could try this site from Marko. Not sure of the quality of the fresh seafood however. https://www.makro.pro/en
  3. Regarding MBK Mall, I used to regularly visit like practically a pilgrimage for some types of shopping. But since I saw the prices on many items were either similar or more then in Europe and for certain small (non electronic) items cheaper on AliExpress, I really would think twice and compare quickly on the internet, before making any purchases. It's great visit for anybody who does not bother to compare, but everything is no nore the deal of the year at MBK.
  4. The black dial Daytona does have sub dials that look a bit similar from far and and can be mistaken I think....have a nice day.
  5. Most know how they consider the farangs, The point is not to avoid scammed or having to shell out. The point is to manage to shell out the least possible !
  6. Enhance what ? The hordes of chinese tourists who will only spend in chinese shops or restaurants or the many criminal gangs operating in Thailand ?
  7. I first thought it was a common steel-gold Rolex Daytona. But considering the ca$h flow on the gentleman, a Patek would obvisouly be the preferred model.
  8. Why not have an app to do the TM's online, or to order the residence certificate online and that can be printed at home ?
  9. Post it on FB (once you have left the country only) ...that's the only way to get the pot belly corrupt chaps in brown to do their job.
  10. I juist love gay bars...that's the best place to pick up hottie ladies (hopefully) with a minimum of competition????
  11. It is a minimum in a country where supercars cause trafic jams in hotel drive-in's ...
  12. Rather then the never ending will, I would try to sell when I feel me end is near...
  13. Thanks, but if I get it right one needs to fly out and come back for each "extension" ? What about if you are already in the country on the normal 30 day and with to extend without having to fly out - how many times can that be extended without leaving ? thanks
  14. Outrageous....I mean think of those poor barstool ladies, shop attendants and all the other fine ladies devoted to top-level customer service and who play 24/7 on their phones ? How will these poor ladies survive if there is no more FB ? ????
  15. Lazada looks nice but they do not seem to carry Samsung mobiles.... Another issue is delivery as depending on the area, I would not blindly trust it. How does lazada deliver and I would rather have it delivered at a reliable pick-up point ? Any ideas, suggestions, comments or critics ?
  16. Do we have empirical proof that it really water ? And further clues, that it is not a plastic goblet either ? ????????
  17. Looks that the guys are not the only mongrels, seeking the bunga bunga in the tropical paradises of the world !! No matter what but western women or men are quite the same in many aspects. It's seems mainly how issue is "negociated" and the mating game played, that perhaps can be different.
  18. I am no specialist of the market. But it could be that with the global crisis both in the east and the west for different or collateral reasons, people on one side need the cash and need sell fast with reduced prices and on the other, buyers have less cash to buy so prices may also drop ?
  19. I always try to get the groceries shopping at the open air markets done by the maid and stay a bit at distance when she bargains the price. I prefer to give her af fair tip at the end of the shopping, and pass my privilege of paying the special farang price at the market????
  20. It looks really nice, well done. I would be of little help, but why not mount the cabinets in 2 phases ? What I mean is to mount the grey cabinets only till the left part of the WM, then run it on full spin and see the movements then accordingly you can finish having the right part cabinets mounted ? Another idea that comes to mind is to jam the sides with a shock absorbent high resilience foam plate such as the machine won't be able to move when shaking ? I have a 3 yr old Bosch and I could practically mix cocktails on the top as it really starts so shake and move on 1200 round spin dry.
  21. To follow the general implicit practice, I tend to leave around 10% of the check in a restaurant in Thailand for the tip, provided the food and service was good naturally. In a swanky place with snooty staff, I may leave less ...... and in a more humble establishment, I may leave a bit more. ???? Also always leave a bill with the cleaning ladies in the hotel and make it a point to give a bit extra to the older, heavier and less attractive ones !! Question - as not to be another farang fool throwing bills around, and not wanting to spoil unnecessarily, what would be your idea of a decent tip by local standards in the main cities or beach towns in Thailand : in restaurants ? hotel maids ? for the cleaning maid comming at home ? the handyman comming over for repairs ? Thank you and have a great week end.
