  1. Idiotic story and possible move by Spain.

    It's the Spanish themselves that like to keep very late hours for eating and drinking due to their siesta time shift in the day.

    Go to any restaurant very late and you will find mainly Spanish patrons...bars are more of an even split.

    I have the stacked box unchecked.   I have had 6 invoices in the last week for one booking 

    Not enough!

    A friend of my wife had huge discounts on Agoda simply because of stacking, many offers ONLY stack, you cannot turn the stacking feature off for them.

    Scour through YCS, turn EVERY discount, promotion and scheme off.

    The worst ones are Agodas own schemes, "AGX" etc., bin the lot and start again.

    Remember Agoda also charges higher commission than the other OTAs, typically 5% higher for this part of the world.

  3. Back in Europe I chose a Tassimo machine for home and L'Or pods.

    Great combo and better than friends Nespresso machines.

    Unfortunately there is no Tassimo in Thailand.

    I have the home grown Bon Cafe system here. Good coffee, pods are better value than most and they regularly do a, buy bulk coffee pack and get machine free deal.

  4. Did one of these rides with the very keen kiddies many years ago, against my better judgement.

    On that day, this particular elephant was obviously not happy and the mahoot was trying to drive it on.

     

    We told him to RTB, he was reluctant until I said don't worry, I won't ask for refund. On turning the elephant back homeward it calmed down completely and happily headed back home.

     

    On both principal and experience, never again.

    JMP Thai sausages at the Makro in Surin. There are 3 varieties in different colored packaging. I've tried 2 of the 3.

    Yup!

    Orange pack is garlic

    Red pack is spicy

    My favourite green pack is herb.

    Very good and beat nearly all of the supposed "English" sausages I've tried here.

    I've not tried the Aro ones yet but in the frozen section there are the longer and skinnier "herb" ones.

    Not a breakfast sausage but still very tasty.

     

    I'm also partial the sweet Thai sausage, usually sliced diagonally thin and stir fried in various dishes.

    Yes! My wife is reporting the same address issue for her establishment.

    During registration there was no option to manually enter the address.

    Her account has been "successfully created" but she cannot complete any TM30 entries because the form wants the address box filled, which cannot be done.

    Either this is a basic oversight or Immi needs to load the address from the documents provided to then auto-fill on the form?

    ***Update***

     

    As of a few minutes ago the profile section is now working. Property address and details duly entered, saved and now showing as they should. Hurrah!

     

    Interesting note, it looks like the new system allows multiple properties under one account.

    But Lazada deliver to the door for peanuts, so drive to the dealers to then pay over the top, seems a bit daft to me...........????

    Lazada deliver copies to your door.

    Here's a copy bought locally....

    There are clues in both the packaging and the plug itself.
