  1. Crafty old buggers cheapest cigarettes i know of are 60 baht single pack 20% tax up the tax to 25% Hey presto now pay 40% Although as per usual here, is it the 60 baht limit before or after tax ?. more mud to peer through.
  2. They have a the big picture problem is its out of focus, all blurred, and unidentifiable as to what it really is.
  3. Just checked; this company is Thai supposedly and 250b on-line, you did well for 150b ????
  4. 7/11 would be handy or local clinic to buy these kits as many villages here have a 7/11 but not any pharmacies close buy.
  5. Training courses for Electricians are not a few days or weeks, it takes 3-5 YEARS as do most trades, but we are in Thailand, flip fops check, screwdriver, check. Pass. Better to offer loans to employ apprentices IMO
  6. Well why doesn't your hero the unelected PM do something about it? 'Coz he don't have a clue.
  7. I am 100% sure it IS a slimy thing, you were talking about the PM weren't you ?
  8. The 'safety' inspection can be done at any of those 'testing' centres littered around the country (200 bht) they do the leg work collect next day or posted back to you, and not necessary to go to the LTO, the one I use never check vin or engine number neither do they check the date on an LPG tank or even the tyres. They also may help you get the book changed
  9. I think this will turn into a $h!t storm, as usual as clear as mud, do you have to stay in a designated hotel ? how will they track people leaving Patts ? make it clear where you can go after 5 days. Me tinks organizing and controlling it is beyond the capabilities of those organizing it.
  10. This reminds me of the 'Porridge ' sit com when they escaped in a coach that belonged to a visiting football team to the jail. A warm thankyou to the RTP for always giving us 'larf init. you have restored some happiness.
  11. Ma and Pa shops continue unabated by the pandemic even those just 1klm from a 7/11 if still open many closed now.. selling lao khao, underground lottery, and alcohol at any time, keeps the customers and cash rolling in. Wish I had thought of that 10 yrs ago.
  12. Why would anybody do that when Thai banks give a better Ex-rate ? Always send in pounds and to be extra sure but in a message 'DO NOT EXCHANGE FUNDS" that prevents any money being exchanged by a thai 'holding' bank. it happened to me twice from OZ.
  13. This is why I can never understand people raving about Wise, My UK bank has a set fee of just 20 pounds for any transfer, I only transfer once a year and don't need it the same day. 500 bht max fee from BKB.
