  1. I am truly amazed at the number of guns, both legal and illegal, available here in Thailand! That said, it makes me curious about the Carry Laws here. If a gun is legal can you carry it on your person, in your car or on your motor bike? Who issues the Carry Permits, how difficult are they to obtain? It certainly stains the image of Thailand as a safe and welcoming destination!
  2. Would also recommend DHL or FedEx. Do not use the Postal Service. I recently used EMS, the Thai Post Express service, to send a letter to the US that required urgent delivery. They charged me THB 1,550 for delivery in 5 to 7 days. The letter left Phuket on 16 Aug and arrived at the address in Pittsburg on 15 Sept! Express Delivery 30 Days! Definitely use DHL or FedEx.
  3. Our house cleaner comes two times per month and cleans everything, floors, windows, toilets, showers, bedsheets, etc, etc. We pay her 1000bht per visit (ie: 2000bht per month). She does a thorough job and we have no problem keeping up between visits.
  4. Yeah, me too. Have been a good Electrolux customer for many years but after this experience I am definitely changing brands!
  5. Does anyone have a good contact at Electrolux? I am having some issues with appliances installed when I built my house and the "normal" customer service reps have been unable to provide any assistance or help in getting repairs done. I need to contact someone higher up in the organization to help prompt some response. Thanks.
  6. Thai Visa is a good recommendation. They may not be the cheapest in town but very reliable.
  7. A "Third World" country advertising itself as Premium Travel Destination?!? Third world countries are usually paired with relatively low levels of education, poor infrastructure, improper sanitation, limited access to health care, and lower costs of living. Do we, here in Thailand fit the bill? I think we can check most of those boxes!
  8. Would recommend the Rang Hill Dental Clinic in Phuket Town. Very professional. Both my wife and I have been going there for many years. Probably not the cheapest in town but the quality of the service and knowing your getting proper treatment is well worth it!
  9. The Wolf Blass "Eaglehawk" Shiraz at THB 399 is a decent table wine! Just chill it a bit before drinking it. Whenever I see it in stock I clean out the shelf!!
  10. Unbelievable that the government allowed this fool to speak. If they want to support the Russian invasion of the Ukraine they should at least do it behind closed doors!
  11. 44 years in offshore drilling. That's what brought me to SE Asia.
  12. I have had two shots of AZ vaccine, last shot 4 months ago. Am looking for a Pfizer booster shot here in Phuket. Does anyone know where I can get one? Am willing to pay for it but information on where it might be availa ble is scarce at best. Thanks for any tips!
