  1. Maybe the usual Indian trying to barter down the price of street food did not fly this time... I can hear it now .....In India we only pay 15 baht for rice and chicken so that's all I will pay in Thailand...
  2. Shopee is better for some supplements....And Lazada is better for others......They are both worth checking out...
  3. Well guys who watch every baht should definitely be living in Pattaya instead of Phuket.....The cost of living in Pattaya can be a fair bit less for the thrifty expat..
  4. which the concerned citizens said may have been constructed without proper permission. I would be very surprised if even a single person in all of Pattaya complained about this bridge....
  5. Yes.....I said some free shipping on ebay to Thailand....Not all.... India seems to have quite a bit of free shipping, but again not all..
  6. First........Take a good long look at Lazada and Shopee the supplement selection its great these days.... Then check out ebay......A fair bit of free shipping to be found there...Also check out ETSY some free shipping there too.. Amazon is the worst place to buy in the world for extra charges.... Even if you get hit at customs from Iherb it's usually not a crazy amount ....
  7. Speaking of weed shops on Soi Bukow in Pattaya......They are multiplying like rabbits....I think there are like 6-7-8 ? weed shops now on just that one street....I am expecting at least 10 soon..
  8. Any poster that consistently bad mouths all/most low priced weed, I think their posts should be disregarded.... I think someone only needs to read through this thread to find the credible posters.....
  9. If online weed sales were banned that would be horrible for the farmers and the consumers......But the worthless middle men would get fat.... And Instead of Lazada and Shopee only halfass banning weed, they would fully ban weed...
  10. Considering the VAST and easy availability of alcohol, the online ban did not make much difference.....Plus you only have to be a member( wink wink nudge nudge) to still buy alcohol from online shops now..... Maybe the online weed shops will do the same....Members only sales...
  11. Lazada and Shopee and online stores....That's a easy kill...... But the online Facebook and Line groups......Well, lol........They are going to be playing wack-a-mole endlessly trying to stop online sales there.........Online sales won't be stopping there ever....
  12. No online sales? All commerce is moving online......Growers success depends on online sales....
  13. Heck in Pattaya plenty of shops only ask 100 baht so I think 150 is about right...
  14. She sounds like a keeper.... I have always had a thing for women who bite off random peoples ears....
  15. Laughing Bird is the only wine I drink (dry red).....This wine use to be a fantastic value 3-4 years ago before they raised the prices for wine over and over.......Now its like 650 baht for 1.5 liter.. I still buy it but only occasionally now....
  16. I saw this on shopee.... It looked like a pretty good price.... Cherry Glutinous Fragrant Grade . 65 baht a gram https://shopee.co.th/เชอร์รี่-เหนียวหoม-เกรดคุณ-ภาพ-1กรัม-i.805618390.19533309447?sp_atk=7529e359-ea7a-4201-8978-3537bc2ac39e&xptdk=7529e359-ea7a-4201-8978-3537bc2ac39e
  17. So when will the cheapest good mushrooms thread be started?.....lol
  18. Well its funny how on day #1 of weed legalization there were already 100s of sellers.... So I guess there will soon be loads of mushroom growers .... And you can be sure all the weed seller will be more than happy to sell mushrooms and many I bet long before its legal..
  19. For any one not familiar with shrooms a kilo is huge huge huge amount for a personal stash.....I would say its kind of like having the back of a pickup truck filled with beer for personal use..... Only 5-6 modest sized shrooms are needed for a fairly strong but not crazy strong trip... And for a small person maybe 2 or 3...
  20. They make the (so called) free shipping so complicated that most people I think would rather pay.....Which is exactly what they want...
  21. The discount codes (if they are working) are right there on the product page...Just click where it says discount code to see them.....But most of the discounts are real Yawners....1% 2% off.... Yawn......Or spend 1,000 baht to get 3% off .....Yawn.......Once in a great while I have found a ok 5-10% discount but not often...
  22. After making 100s and 100s of purchases on Lazada and Shopee, and striving to always to get the absolute rock bottom prices when I buy,I thought I would post a few things I do to save money... Just to let you know how cheap I am, I will switch sellers to save 5 baht,and will search for a extra 20 minutes in the hopes of finding a 10 baht lower price.....lol As for scams and bad sellers.....That has already been well covered, and the truth is they are few in number and they don't last long as sellers.... And as far as Free Shipping goes, I hate, hate, hate having to jump through hoops to get it, so 99% of the time I don't bother........The best free shipping with no hoop jumping is to order more than one product from the same store....... For some products Lazada is way better and for some products Shopee is way better...So both need to be searched... I think the most important rule for all Cheap Charlie shoppers to keep in mind is even when you have found what you think is a very cheap price for a product, there is a fair to fairly ok chance someone else is selling the same product even cheaper......Even me who always looks for the lowest price has been fooled into thinking that what I am buying is so cheap, no way can it be sold for cheaper...WRONG ......I have been WRONG so many times.......I try and not make this mistake any more.... I always start my searches like everyone else here....Just put in the name and search....English seems to give just as good of results as Thai most of the time unless you're looking for unusual things.....(Example) stuff like exotic teas, spices, herbs the search does poorly with English and Thai needs to be used to see your full buying options.... Both Lazada and Shopee seem to have a fair number of hidden lower priced sellers....Not on every item or every search will you find hidden sellers, but they pop up with thorough searches plenty often... A few ways to find the hidden lower priced sellers are...... #1...Let's say you're looking for a toaster........Do the usual search and click on the lowest priced toasters....Then pull the page to the bottom(where other toasters will be recommended) and click on some more low cost toasters recommendations.....Then pull those pages to the bottom and click those...etc etc The way the Search Algorithm is set up is it will recognize you keep clicking on lower priced toasters and it will keep recommending ever cheaper toasters until you (after a number of clicks), you hit the rock bottom priced toasters.........If you click on the most expensive toasters the Algorithm will keep recommending you ever more expensive toasters...... #2...Another way I find the hidden sellers is to do a google Image search.......Just type in toasters Shopee or toasters Lazada (Both Image search) .....You will see a bunch of pictures of toasters.......The vast majority of the images will be toasters you already looked at, or toaster they no longer carry........But sometimes and sometimes more than sometimes you can find low cost hidden sellers here.........The only way to know for sure is to click on every single one of these product pictures both from Lazada and Shopee..... Time consuming? Yep it sure is, but hey Cheap Charlies usually have more time than money..lol I have found some pretty nice savings this way.... Hey we want to save every last baht here so it pays to pay attention to shipping costs..... Sometimes the very cheapest price is not really the very cheapest price when shipping cost is included.....Loads of the very cheapests sellers want to charge top end shipping cost and I am sure pocket the difference for the real shipping cost.....I have bought from the 2nd or 3rd cheapest sellers plenty of times to get the cheapest price when shipping cost was included.. Well I am sure a bunch of you guys already know all of this......But I hope this might help a few people out there save some money........
