Rayong granny gets back Bt1.17m in dumped termite-damaged banknotes

The granny said she had been keeping money from lottery-ticket sales in a wooden cabinet at home. 

Those poor lottery sellers who have to sell those lottery tickets at prices higher than offical, because they have such a hard time making a living.

Anyone, still want to defend them?

This thread confirms for me some people have more money than sense.

Especially those that pay millions, I remember one paying 20 million, for the yellow VIP plate.

I have seen a few and they look like a taxi plate on a Lambo

Illegal? What a stupid comment!!! Did your phantasy gone wild?

I think for tell something like this you must know the full background of this people. 

Maybe they have also a small renting income from the flat/house what they rent out in their home country.

Or a disabled pension but they want still work ...

Or their kids earn enough and give they the needed money ..... 

It give a lot of things more what YOU must to know before you can say someone is illegal in this country!!!

So you agree now that your previous comment that they don't earn enough for their visa requirements was just some drivel?

Snowgard said

They not get pension and MUST work. Their savings what they had years ago before they come to Thailand are gone

I am sure a lot of them earn not enough for their visa requirements.

When someone can not comply with the visa requirements, then guess what.........They are illegal

Goodbye

Why???? I think they are old enough to choose self what way they want to go.

How do you feel about illegals in your home country?

Because that is what clearly said in your post.

Big C has the 3 liter box for B1009 but I have previously not seen that size.

Seems you live back in time.

As Kittenkong says, 3 liter Montclair is 1149 now at Big C, and the exact same price at every supermarket I have been, and has been like this for at least a month. It was 1009 prior to that,

Probably shouldn't bother mentioning that it is "Low Season" right now so one wouldn't expect a lot of tourists anywhere right now (in the bars or on the beaches) but maybe "low season" doesn't take into account the "zero dollar" Chinese tourists ? 

Why do the airliners charge high season prices from Europe if it is low season?

July - August has always been high season for flights to Thailand from Europe.

The request for keeping the request confidential went right out of the window, so I think that should tell everything about how the UK government considers the extradition.

I thought it was almost finished, but according to the video it will probably take another 2 years before any earnings can be realised.

Some better ideas for current investment?

Not looking for Airbnb, more interested in renting to expats, which will create a lower but more steady income.

Bank is 1%, so think not to hard to beat that.

    Probably what you saw was a new project called 'Espana', meant to look like Spain.  Just one more of what I call 'theme park' condo projects.   Usually built in not great locations, they often feature some sort of theme and have a big interior pool.  Espana joins Venetian (Venice theme, just down the road), Atlantis, Maldives, Seven Seas, and several others.  

Yes possible, as it looked like Spain.

Any idea about prices and if this could be considered as a reasonable investment for the rental market?

Point is that I have a considerable amount of cash sitting in the bank that earns Nada.

I noticed that near Lumpini Beach they are building a complete small town, with all buildings in a special style and fancy colors.

Looks like it's almost finished, but I didn't see any name or sales office signs.

Anyone has some more info regarding this project?

Why would Australian GST be required for goods delivered to Thailand?

It's not close to pattaya.  It's at the 74.050 Klm peg (or at least the camera is) on highway 7. About 55 Klm's from patts. 

That was what I suspected - thanks.

The Hwy36 Exit to Rayong is backed up for about 20 kms since Friday and only made worse with that overturned truck 

If the "truck" crash was where Sydneyboy1 says then I don't think it would have any direct effect on the 36......unless you are talking about another truck/lorry?

That road is not a highway, because on the left you can see a road that can be accessed by driving over the soft shoulder. That is not possible anywhere on Highway 7.

To me the concrete guardrail looks pretty new, so it may as well be Road #36 to Rayong

You have absolutely no idea mate. Shut up.

Your statement :  "If Thai law is same as most other countries,........."  is ridiculous. T

Thai law aint the same at all.  Foreigners cannot own property with land - period.

Your reading abilities are seemingly on the same level as your knowledge.

I never said foreigners can own property with land, but they can inherit it, and have the right to sell it within 1 year.

With my statement about Thai law I meant marital law, not inheritance law since that already is confirmed by Blackcab, but that went clearly over your head.

Not sure why you don't want to buy from Lazada, because they are the same brick and mortar shops you visit.

Tesco is a certified seller on Lazada, as are many other big shops, and they are usually priced cheaper than when you walk in.

Just another of so many lies already.

Why would 13 movie companies waste money on a movie?

The movie about the miner rescue in Chile never earned back the production cost.

13 movie companies considering making a movie would be more correct.

For some odd reason it seems

not many expats in Thailand are aware of this simple and free method

For some odd reason the majority of expats is not from the US, even the Aussie you were responding to isn't from the US, and this option is available only to US and I think UK citizens.

I have TOT  & 100/ 25 Mbps and 12 ping ,     ( just uprated ) and yet testmy.net speed test shows poor performance outside of Thailand resulting in buffering / freezing and loss of programme and coincidentally always at an important stage , e.g. the last furlong of a horse race or just be fore a goal is scored in footy .

TOT is the worst ISP in Thailand, maybe even in South east Asia lol.

Your 100 Mbps on a TOT speedtest means nothing because it is within Thailand, and everything worthwhile comes from outside Thailand, plus they use multithread and are flash based so your result is fictional.

That it always buffers right before a goal is only in your imagination, because no isp has any influence on that.

A video stream buffers either because there are issues on your side, or the servers are overloaded, but when a goal happens there are not more users than 5 minutes earlier.

Is a VPN an answer to overcome this or  use    IPTV  and ditch the android box ? 

A VPN can be a solution to get a better speed to Europe, forget about the free ones for that, if you have a good connection to Singapore, but I think TOT fails even at that most of the times.

If you have an Android box make sure that you have a recent spec one, and for IPTV it will work better than a smart TV or a PC, because the Android IPTV apps perform better than the Windows apps.

Most IPTV's don't allow the use of VPN.

My question, is there a simple answer to avoid the throttling when connecting to Europe / UK using an android box ?  I have TOT  & 100/ 25 Mbps and 12 ping ,     ( just uprated ) and yet testmy.net speed test shows poor performance outside of Thailand

Does testmy.net gives you better test results on your PC or tablet? If so it's time to upgrade the Android box.
