Lazada and Shopee - which one you find better ?
I would normally default to Lazada for the big stuff but the last return for a delivered smashed TV was slow and painful with 3 repeated failures to pick up and a time out. No preference now, I simply Compare both including any delivery fees. Cheapest wins!

MICHELIN CITY GRIP 2 TYRES ON Honda 16O Click
ADV160; Replaced original with City Grip 2. Fitted at a higher standard garage due to the specific directional requirements differing from front and rear. No issues for me, a change of tires can make a big difference to the feel/handling and will take time to adjust.

5 year licence renewal Khon Kaen
In Prachuap Khiri Khan (Pranburi) they wouldn't let me renew my 5 year car licence without the Pink ID card otherwise COR required. Last year the yellow book on it's own was accepted for 5 year motorcycle. Also the ID card number is now on the licence where previously it was the passport number.

Lazada Notifications
For years I deselected all notifications except for "orders" but Lazada has now decided to violate our privacy. My advice would be to deny ALL notification permissions and just ignore the avalanche of messages, many hundreds in my case. If you order something check progress via the order details.

Lazada Notifications
2 months ago Lazada notifications for "super sale" were still getting through with all promotion push and email notifications turned off. The Lazada app has now been denied all notifications, still hundreds of unread messages and they can stay that way - unread!

Hua Hin immigration online appointment - dead ?
I did the online appointment at HH last year successfully and arrived shortly before opening to be seen first ahead of 3 or 4 others who were already there. If it's not available now means they have pulled it and can't be bothered doing it!

New 75" TCL TVs for 16,800bht ......... and everyone whines about inflation.
New "budget" TV's are being made as cheap as possible with egg carton quality plastic, purchased a 32" for the bedroom. Similar model from 2 years ago weighs twice as much and just feels much stronger. The new ones wouldn't take much to fold in half!

CHEATING ONLINE SHOPPING- be careful people
On the matter of reviews, I have marked defective and "used" items with 1 star. The review is then removed once the item has been returned! I once saw the same used and dirty kettle that I had returned.

CHEATING ONLINE SHOPPING- be careful people
If something is not right or defective I initiate a return in the Lazada app only. I do not "chat" with the seller. The seller has a set period of time to respond. In my experience the seller usually doesn't respond and gets timed out. Also be careful of the new process to click received as this is seen as you accepting the item and the return option disappears!

Refused pseudoephedrine at hospital
I went to an evening ENT clinic here in Hua Hin to seek assistance for long term Non allergic rhinitis symptoms. The Doctor prescribed medications including Pseudoephedrine tablets. Then referred to the ENT clinic at the Government Hospital where I now receive regular consultation and medications. They always do an address check and occasionally advise me about the Police urine tests!
