Lacessit

I understand most of them are in America, where 50% of the population still believe in angels.

Found it on Lazada, thanks. The Indonesian stuff is 2300 baht for 200 gm, I guess I won't know the quality until I have tried it. I remember the Vietnamese kopi was very good.

Understood. Did you read my post in full? There ARE two executors.

A good link. What happens if the buyer does not accept the goods, or refuses to pay the sight bill?

Buy a HD from a bricks and mortar shop here, one can always go back to the shop if it is a dud. Buy something on the internet, good luck getting a refund, even if the seller is still trading in the same name. Some change names like they change socks. I only buy stuff on the internet where it's no big deal if things go wrong.

I have two wills, one done in Thailand, one done in Australia. They are not different, because they both say the same thing, in Thai and English. Any assets in Australia will go to my son, he is the executor there. Any assets in Thailand will go to my GF, she is the executor here.

It does baffle me why so many posters seem to enjoy jumping to conclusions about another poster they have never met, on the minimum of data. The order I placed for Kopi Luwak was about 3000 baht, not really Tiny Rowland territory. When the deal fell through, my money was refunded to me.

Never been to the Philippines, was in Jakarta about 30 years ago and not a big coffee drinker then. I stand corrected, although I am not sure how I am supposed to know the difference between Vietnamese and Indonesian when I have not learned either language.

I suppose if one is at peak sperm production, and takes a double dose of Cialis, nothing is impossible.

I have had some of my best coffees here at hole in the wall shops for 30-40 baht. If I want to pay 150 baht for a coffee, I'll fly back to Australia.

That type of coffee is only available in Vietnam. It's called kopi luwak. I tried to import some into Thailand for my DIL in Australia, she works in a coffee shop. Said she could sell as much as I could get, at a big premium. Could not make it work, too much red tape.

That's like saying a patient is better being on a drip instead of being intubated in an ICU. Both are on life support, as Tim Hortons and Starbucks coffee should be.

Actually, I understand that is Trump's specialty.

Exactly. Not only do independent coffee shops have decent coffee, they also can have character. Like the one not far away from me which has a middle-aged male boss and about nine young women running around serving coffee. It's a busy place. They all cracked up when I asked if they were his daughters, and how much the sin sod was.

Mercedes has to rely on cachet, because any innovation they come up with can be replicated by other carmakers in 6-12 months, and sometimes improved. I don't know about here, but in Australia they have a terrible reputation for bending over customers and dealers alike. I'd agree their topline models are good cars. However, I have never been interested in cars that cost more than a condo or small house.

There are opinions, and there are facts. A Kia Stinger turbo has about 30% more turbo boost pressure than the comparative Mercedes 200 SLK. Anyone who has driven a Hyundai Kona N in N mode ( racetrack ) knows it sh!ts all over a Mercedes SUV in terms of performance, for about USD 15 k less.

One coffee at Starbucks was sufficient to convince me it was so weak, it should have been placed on life support.

People buy Mercs all the time, even when the Koreans are making technically superior, cheaper cars. It's about the cachet. I feel sorry for Pattaya if that's the best you have. We have plenty of good coffee shops in Chiang Rai. I think there is only one Starbucks in Chiang Rai, at Central.

Given the lean on the tree, there's really only one practical way it can go, which may not suit in terms of collateral damage. I'd agree in this case lopping from the top down is safer.

IMO the OP is a victim of what is called Dynamic Currency Conversion, which is the polite term for daylight robbery. As another poster has said, deposit into a US bank, and use WISE to transfer.

I am not on Facebook, from what I have seen it is hardly a reliable source of facts and information. A haven for every narcissist and fruitcake.

Starbucks is dishwater masquerading as coffee. IMO people go to Starbucks to be seen there, look at me, I'm in Starbucks so I must be rich/successful.

I keep up with the news via taxpayer-funded media and those outlets who support themselves with advertising. I like to know what governments are doing which may affect me. I follow sports and politics, ignore fashion, celebrities and religion. I'm unable to see the point of paying for news I can get free. Sorry, Rupert.

I am not sure how I can lose face on a faceless forum, but do carry on with your delusion. Tom Uren was principled in terms of refusing to accept a lucrative politician's pension, quitting shortly before he became eligible for it. He also had an early career as a professional boxer, challenging for the Australian heavyweight championship. Which facts serve to demonstrate how egregiously stupid some of your trolling posts can be.

My GF irons my clothes. I have never asked her to do it. If she did not, I would just leave them un-ironed. Clean is more important.
