  1. It's clearer when VAT and service are included in the price !
  2. In France, same as in Thailand; The use of a car horn is strictly regulated and is generally prohibited in built-up areas unless there is an immediate danger
  3. I now understand what you mean. I can read thai but some important information are often hidden by the stickers and are not on the stickers themselves, Nutrition Facts for example
  4. Or just ask to get hot rice when you order, this is what I do
  5. The rice is often already cold when they bring it.
  6. Dual pricing for foreigners, even in some private establishments. Loud music at all times, especially at night. Waiters who talk or play on their phones, making you wait 20 minutes before taking your order.
  7. I have a Wise card but never use it in Thailand, only for transfers : Wise card is a foreign card and many places in Thailand charge a fee up to 3% if you pay with a foreign card
  8. Check that link : Check that link :https://thaiest.com/thailand/bangkok/taxi The taxi meter price for the distance covered usually isn’t the only part of taxi fare in Bangkok. As traffic conditions in Thai capital are complicated and traffic jams here is a norm, for every minute the taxi cannot move by more than 6 km/h speed you will have to pay extra fare of 3 THB per minute (was 2 THB/minute).
  9. Were it to happen with the French embassy, I would reduce my stay in Thailand by half. I would never make an 800,000 baht deposit in any Thai bank, even if I could afford it.
  10. Good wine starts at 3-4 euro a bottle (75 cl)
  11. Still very expensive. Good french wine are much cheaper
  12. Same for me. I guess the benefit is for restaurants and shops.
  13. This not an excuse for not letting garbage, paper, can and bottles on beaches or anywhere on public space
  14. As for me, I always transfer from my euro balance to my Bangkok Bank account. When I start the procedure, Wise says I will receive the transfer within seconds, but once confirmed Wise always say they will transfer the following day
  15. But in case you send the money back one day, maybe better that transfert to be tagged as coming from abroad ?
  16. Nubel doesn't sound French. I wonder what his first name is
  17. Nubel doesn't sound French. I wonder what his first name is
  18. Since 2013, the lowest price I paid from France was 650 € with one extra checked baggage and a leg from my city to Paris or Amsterdam Last November I paid 1 842 €
  19. SMS do not use mobile data and received text messages are free
  20. I don't understand why the tourism authorities always focus on the number of arrivals. What really matters is the number of overnight stays.
  21. And when we go to Britain or USA do we have to learn English ? They even speak less foreign languages
  22. I can remember a time when we were not invaded in Europe, and had no security guards nor security portal anywhere, in airports and even at the entrance of banks !
