  1. My ex Company's Cheddar " The King's Deli" is (Usually) Baht 179 for 200g in Villa Market. "ARLA" for example is around Baht 265 for 200g. Iceland around 195 Baht for 200g. As a retired Food and Beverage buyer, I understand the costs of Imported Food etc , my main gripe is the Cost of wine here. (Import Duty 50% - 60%, and excise Tax of Baht 1000 per litre) I've tried some Thai "Monsoon" wines which were ok but still as expensive as Imported. Theres a Monsoon restaurant and shop in Hua Hin, as always "Caveat Emptor".
  2. Californian (Napa Valley) Cab Sauv gonna cost an arm and 2 legs now!
  3. NDE Every time I drive on Rama 2.
  4. I spent 45 Minutes with these forms at My K Bank. The Clerk was on the phone to HO, HO spoke to me, 2nd Clerk came to assist. Eventually, (SAME) forms were downloaded and printed, Typed, and had me sign them. I did, also, download the Info regarding these forms from the Banks Website., together with a Google translation as the info was in English. God knows what they will do with them now. Im from UK so most of this was Not Applicable. Pity the Head Office , or whoever institiuted the Original email, didnt pass the relevant info to the Branches.
  5. Ive printed the 3 forms and will go to my Branch tomorrow with them. Just a guess, but I reckon KBank branches will be inundated with expats in the morning!
  6. So where can I find that ? ....All my Tax Code Notifications from HMRC only show my NI Number as a reference.
  7. Ive got some refunded Baht in a Lazada "wallet" only issue is, no matter how I try, I cant access the "wallet" !
  8. Maybe they meant to say "manipulations" ? I have compared the Baht (recently on Xe) with a "basket" of currencies, they have all weakened , not just the US Dollar. As someone remarked, MAYBE they are loading up on Dollars at 32 to unload later at Circa 36 to help pay for the 10K Vote Buying ? Who knows, TIT.
  9. True, I worked for a Pharmaceutical Company , years ago, and they were using it as a cure for schizophrenia. Wish I had a Quid for every request I got from mates for a Free Sample!
  10. MERSEYSIDE POLICE Website
  11. Ali-Al- Shakati (Good Welsh Name!) apparently born in Cardiff, according to the statement by the Chief Constable of Merseyside Police. Not "terrorist " related, but my bet is the "Mental" card will be shown soon! ...My condolences to the families of the deceased, I have friends and family in the area.
  12. Behind closed doors? Nah, on the Golf Course more like! ...............Anutin Birdied..........Takki Bogied !
  13. Same Same, Sent one of those "Proof of Life" forms back to one of my Pension Providers in August 2023, According to them not received, and according to Thai Post ............."at Airport" ...........??? Scanned and sent by email !
  14. Cannabis, Rice guess who's back, and who's coming back!
  15. My wife and I were there last month, and pretty much agree with all you said., Traffic is noisy, as they are "horn" happy (Could get you shot here! ) and I wonder where all the "Soi Dogs" 🐕 are ? We liked it.
