***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.

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?

Very similar happened in the country my kids were educated. In this case it was notebooks of very poor quality and massively out of date given to all secondary level students. The notebooks were never used in class, were too old tech to run the school programmes properly and only worth a fraction of the cost to the education department. Again, some connected people made a killing. I'd bet that most kids phones would be more capable than any tablet offered. In regions were it is common for children not to have phones due to poverty, I doubt they will ever see these "equal-opportunity" devices.

What a shame the two victims were not of the aggressive type often in the Pattaya news. They would have pummeled the dirt-bag!

A shop on Lazada using the Laz mail delivery service means Lazada delivered it, the shop only supplied it ????????

Lazada deliver copies to your door. Here's a copy bought locally.... There are clues in both the packaging and the plug itself.

....preferably in Patong but Kathu or Phuket town is fine. Lazada etc. is awash with fakes as are the couple of bike repair shops I visited today. ( Model CPR8EA-9 ) TIA

Only TCT, TAT and THA dared to dream up predictions different to the blatantly obvious. Chinese group-tour-hordes only put money into Chinese owned businesses, no real gains for Thailand. The independent travellers market is where the money is, sanity NOT vanity. Poor recent publicity for Thailand with tourism incidents and political wobbles only add to the misery. All that before you factor in the world wide problems effecting long-haul tourism in particular.

Surely silly strips of masking tape can only antagonize? Not a wise action here. Plus, owner returns, removes tape and items or the entire car, retapes and claims missing items and/or stolen car, really daft approach. Either arrive ready to clamp/tow or use proper security tape that shows tampering. Note to repo-men. Masking tape is designed to be removed without leaving marks. ????????‍♂️

Not seen anything to that effect. I was hoping for the CB350H or GB350 but neither pegged for Thailand. We got the CL300/500 instead which is just a rehash of the Rebel. Yammy XSR300.... nope. A few notable others....nope. Do the Thai wings of these companies play too safe? Maybe we'll get the little Triumph/Bajaj 400 next year.... The 350 scoots are too damn physically huge with their plastic fantastic overload!

The quality of the stores seems to be very manager reliant. We use 3 different Makros, Patong (our home branch), Phuket town and Karon. Patong is very badly run, frequently out of major/basic lines, dirty and smelly but our nearest and most convenient. Only saved by a few good staff that once "befriended" are very helpful. Phuket town has the best range and availability due to it being much larger. Karon is well run, clean, reliable range that has never failed me on stock. BigC has become more pricey, our one, Patong, is also poorly run.

I have a variation on that as my fave. One buttered slice of decent bread with Marmite on it, the other with Nittaya Chili in oil paste (nam prik pow) and some good cheddar in the middle. Note, REAL real cheese, not factory gunk. Glorious!

...because you've been replaced by a bigger one ????

I assume you did not apply the essential "thinning" process for teak trees. A combination of two thinnings should be carried out every four years. One is health so that any unhealthy/runt trees are removed. The second is selection so that only the straightest trees remain. After twenty years you have a smaller yield obviously but all trees will be of top price. The only other alternative I've seen is pine trees, dependant on your areas climate

I can no longer do my 90 day report online. The new reason being quoted is, "Visa was obtained in a different province". This is true, I'm usually on the mainland around visa renewal time ( 2 month stay ). On returning home I make sure the TM30 is redone and complete my first 90 day at the local Immi. office, in person. However, this is no longer good enough, according to the online system. I asked my local office if they knew of the change or enforcement of this but only received blank looks and shrugged shoulders.

My apologies to the dog, likening it to an untrained, spoilt brat with bullying tendencies human child, was uncalled for. ????

The bitten child is apparently the instigator here, with two previous uhappy meetings with this dog according to the article. This time the child had a stick, the dog retaliated. Dog might have bad tendencies, child definitely does. Both dog and child need better training and control. Ultimately a biting dog still cannot be tolerated unless antagonisition can be proven.

Just a vandal plain and simple. Charge according to the law.

I bet there was a right pair-amid them...

Unfortunately haefle did not have a compatible cylinder. I have now now found the original supplier in Bangkok so am waiting on them now...

Thanks for that, I'll drop in for a look see...

...ideally in Patong, otherwise Phuket-town or southern half of the island and DEFINITELY open/functioning. I'm particularly searching for a couple of "half euro cylinders-35mm" and a neat entry lock for frameless glass doors, rf tags preferred over number entry. TIA

Aye, obviously but only one of the two is less than ideal.

I won't be nailing my phone to the wall any time soon! ????
