  1. MegaHome on the Superhighway just north of the Hafele showroom.
  2. It's quite expensive, by Thai standards, as an overnighter. Prices are in keeping with 4* Sukhumvit properties though it does look very nice. When I am transiting, a comfortable bed, clean room and modern amenities are all I need. My aforementioned preference fulfills those requirements, and more, for half the price.
  3. On the contrary, Sunflower oil is a healthy choice and imported Belgian-grown potato chips (as above) come out crunchy on outside and floury on the inside ... airfryer chips don't come close. As my only deep-fried menu item I can't justify an airfryer as we use our oven, multi-cooker or BBQ for other cooking. Having solar means the electric oven costs nothing to run.
  4. Sunflower oil deep fried Farmhouse Country fries, from Makro, are as good as THE best UK chippies you've ever had. An air fryer can't come close Mind you, they have their uses
  5. Nana bakery for all varieties or Chouqette for baguette 🥖 Best to phone thru an order, day before if possible, to your local Nana outlet as they do sell out fast.
  6. Photos required for a truly clinical assessment, please

  8. Power and communication outages have already caused massive problems, eg in Australia, but at least some folk still had cash to fall back on. A dual system suits me although cash is more manageable and far quicker to transact in most stores.
  9. I wrote Makro, spell check on phone changed it ... twice!
  10. Marko.
  11. ARO and Mainland are both made in NZ. 2 different companies, and the latter is tastier. We always freeze self-proportioned cheddar as even vacuum packed blocks can deteriorate, usually evidenced by white mold spores on outside.
  12. Not at all, it's all about one's home tax residency address, not my Thai address.
  13. YES I was at KBank @ Central when they opened as the wife had am 11am appointment in the centre. Walked and asked if I could uplift a copy of the docs. Service desk girl had very little English and after I showed her the email and forms listed she got the idea and asked for my PP. Being non-US she immediately located the FATCARS form, asked for my KBiz a/c # and entered all required details on the system. I only gave city/country for address, no street addy. 5 minutes later I was given a copy of the completed document for my records. Easy as!

    Cheese

    Don't ever be tempted to buy Makro's "horeca" cheese, even for cooking, it's rubbish. Vintage aged cheddar is the most tasty, also crumbly, as water is released during the aging process. Tasty is softer, younger. Jartisan cheeses are not sold in Makro. Central Group outlets, eg Tops, GoWholesale, stock their varieties.
