I quit trading with Starbucks about 5-7 years ago (for reasons unrelated to quality) but I imagine the same people that claim Starbucks coffee is the worst Thailand are probably the same people that claim McDonald's is the worst burger in Thailand.

 

Is there better coffee and better burgers in Thailand? Absolutely. But anyone claiming they are the worst clearly either doesn't get out much or is just blinded by bias. 

 

I'll have to try the 7-11 product, only coffee I've ever had there was the B10 red-cup instant....

Mc Donald burgers are ok because I will never pay 300 baht for any burger at any supposed great burger place. And now even McDonald is too expensive for what it is. Starbucks are cheaters from the start and only idiots would support them, I agree.

Try 711 coffee, but only take espresso to know the real taste, even if you had your own milk, its a lot better than choosing their latte or any other thing.

And what do you think about Kiss food ? I read many negatives here from supposed experts who cannot explain why they think that Thai food is better somewhere else. I do not eat Thai food anywhere as most chef think about themselves as cook artists when they actually know nothing. At Kiss they are not asked to know anything, they are just told to follow the same recipe that is written, and nobody is interested in their culinary art !

Nobody ever cared this stupid law in BKK, so let's just forget it in PATTAYA.

I also read that we are not supposed to feed stray dogs anymore ? Fuxx any idiot who had decided this if it's true ! Wishing the worst and most painful problem to them !

I first used a DA polisher over 40 years ago (my father and grandfather were in the car repair business and I am currently a partner in a car sales and repair business). I have applied all kinds of paints, cellulose, 1K, 2Ks - you name it. And polished them.

You appear to have zero experience but if you want to believe 'EVERYWHERE EVERYBODY online' who says only idiots would damage a car with a DA polisher then good luck to you my friend.

Polishing is not the same as applying wax. If you just want to apply wax then do it by hand.

Yes, it's so famous that people talking about a business that they manage usually are experts ! hahahaha. so funny

Anybody watching youtube video can no more than thoese "experts" who live and believe in their past without ever trying to improve.

You stated in your original post that it is brave opening a new gym at this time and obviously from your attitude you didn't expect anyone to comment on your opinion. I probably should have quoted you but I thought it would be obvious that  I was commenting about the economics of opening a new gym now. Does it occur to you that not everyone on Jomtien is a farung and maybe they opened expecting Thai customers or do you think all Thais are hookers with no money? So how  do you base your statement about Thai gyms? I have been in several Thai gyms with complete luxury. I particularly liked Bangkok Sukumvit Fitness First . I have attached a photo of my local gym. The other one up the road is a bit too expensive for me. The gym floor is quite nice and the Sauna but I don't like the Steam room  or the swimming pool. The spa in the pool at my local gym is really nice and the girls are a lot friendlier. Not everyone lives in central Pattaya.

 

The Rompo gym at 4000 / month ?

This one is clearly a scam for idiots who know nothing.

Checked it out today. All new high end equipment, free weights, treadmills, elliptical. Best equipped gym I've seen here. Hope they last. Promo until the end of the month. 

yes it looks great ! But still missing some machiens / weights for hardcore gym.

Ridiculous to pay tax for online sale in Thailand when I never even paid it in Europe...

You haven’t actually said what you intend doing as there are various stages in polishing…you want to

…remove the orange peel on the clear coat

… remove the swirls

… just apply wax or something similar, easier to do my hand in my opinion

 

A small DA like that would take you ages to do the first two items. Also you need to choose the correct ‘compounds’ and the correct pads.

Good luck with that if you have little or no previous experience , but guess that you have already watched several videos on YouTube.

 

Modern waxes and paint sealants are very easy and quick to apply…I favour  applying Opti-seal after dry washing with ONR. Only takes a few minutes to do the whole car…

 

Also, if you intend putting some sort of ceramic coating on after polishing, just make sure you wipe over with something like IPA (diluted at least 50%) first!

 

I just want to wax, and yes I am watching videos since years. I also think that if the local idiots can do it as any car wash, I guess that I cannot be worst than them and I should be able to do it also.

What is optiseal and ONR ? Few minutes only might be interesting, as you seem to know what you are talking about. Please tell me more ?

Thanks a lot.

I have been there twice.  The second time was hoping to enjoy some coffee in a semi quiet atmosphere.  But both times got it to go there seems to be a group of loud mouths acting like it is a booze bar who frequent there.  They seem to think they own the place all had the same European accent no need to identify the country.  

The coffee was good, but have had similar quality other spots in town without the noise.

The bets coffee (i do not speak about atmosphere but coffee) is at 7/11 anyway. Just test the espresso at most places and you will understand that 711 coffee is clearly the best quality. For 25 thb only.

What is Jasmine ? and why is it clean ? do we see the kitchen from the restaurant ? or it is only clean in people mind ?

 

I agree that we should only eat where the kitchen can be seen from the restaurants, and I consider as idiots most restaurants owners who do not understand this.

Also stupid the ones who still do not understand that we need photos on the menu. How can they be so ridiculous ? Maybe because customers also are ?

I even preferred Foodland restaurant when there was a plastic film to separate the staff and the customers, but now they removed it.

It's just like the masks that so many people need so long time to understand. Now showing a kitchen or having anybody facing you ready to spit on you is so unhygienic.

Thanks Kerry and nice of you to go to the trouble. I suppose I was hoping to find a semi pro in the area who would do a budget  job as apart from a professional operation and someone close to home as in this area. Will check out the link though. Thanks again

I paid simple website with lifetime updates and support for 10000 Thb.

I will only pay again if I need new pages and improvements.

PM if you are interested.

But what kind of website do you need exactly ?

Thompson Garage in Bang Na will sell you genuine parts at less than  Merc dealership price.  They also have  'state of the Art' alignment equipment. They tend to be Merc specialists.

any link to the garage location please ?

are they also doing painting ?

hello, where do you eat Thai food now ? Only kiss and foodland restaurant Took lae dee seem clean enough to me, but maybe you know more ?

thank you.

hello,

anybody knows how to choose a cheap car polishing machine, dual action polisher ?

The cheapest i found is this

https://www.lazada.co.th/products/220-240-680-dual-i877368243-s1769892729.html

220V-240V 680W Adjustable Speed Dual Action Car Polishing Machine Shock Polisher Sealing Glaze Waxing Machine

If this price good already ? and 680w enough ?

I also found some working on 12v, maybe convenient if no electric plug around, but only 80w, so I guess not powerful enough ?

if you know a good brand or have bought one around here please tell me which one ?

thanks a lot.

Most people may find it hard to believe that carbs are NOT an essential macronutrient; only good fats and protein are essential for metabolic health.  It is simply a nutritional myth that carbs are essential if you look at genuine metabolic science.

True ! this is what nobody understands, and even some nutritionists are so idiots that they can't think out of the box, so they keep repeating the BS learnt at school or univ (if they attended any to reach this level of stupidity).

Carbs are already everywhere, so no need to add more, no need to eat bread, rice, pasta, cereals, AT ALL.

And then the ones who know nothing will keep arguing...

I gave up trying to teach them anything that could make them smarter !

Hi, i found this and it's interesting. Clear and nice video. Only a Thai can accept these prison conditions. But why do they even come back !?

My wife received speeding fine for 500b in the post ..  photos of  the front end of her car number plate, they said if  the fine  is  not paid you will no longer be able to tax your car, she has never paid the fine,  that was 3 years ago, and her car taxed every year..

same here !

but people keep repeating the same BS that has been told to them on a bar stool...

He probably also had to pay the other driver to get his pickup fixed.

 

What is the point of going through the whole court and punishment saga when most can't afford it. Does anyone want to see the jails full of thousands that can't pay fines? What would that accomplish?

 

The reason, IMO, for the accident rate is not because of the police, but a far more fundamental psychological reason, which would not be appropriate on TVF.

Why else would a m'bike driver on a m'bike with 3 children just ride out onto a main road with vehicles going over 90kph without looking to see if anyone was coming? I saw that all the time driving to the wife's village.

Better put in jail potential road killers than drug addicts !

Drug addicts kill only themselves !

Pushing drugs should be arrested too. But as I said before I don't have a problem with drug use per say. I mean just imagine how much drugs are used (if you look at what they catch you can imagine what they don't catch). Then given the huge amounts consumed most consumers are not that bad. Same like alcohol consumers (both are hard drugs) they only have a good time. It all changes when they drive a car or bike or when they get aggressive (aggressive drunks and high people are a menace) however this is just small number of people.

The only truth !

But so many idiots in this world who will never understand this !
