Agreed about the packed out office. But in terms of convenience, it's now way less convenient. Least when visiting immigration before, you could do something useful in town at the same time. Now that opportunity has gone. Now have to travel outside of town to fight through traffic coming back in. As for parking, never had a problem with the old place, there was a police investigation unit car park nearby, always had spaces, couple hundred meters walk... But the biggest issue (least for me) remains the lack of privacy at the counter.

Did my 90 day report today, hadn't realised they had moved. Wonder why they would move to such an out of the way place? Despite the shortcomings of the previous location, at least it had banks etc near by, and certainly more convenient. It's also a pity they did not take this relocation opportunity to build in some privacy when doing business at the counter!

I had looked at a cordless option - But in the real world reviews users take about the limited time the battery lasts, 20 min in some cases - It takes me 3 - 4 times that long on a good day - Think maybe I need to do more research in this.., thanks

Ive been using electric lawnmower and the problem is the cable getting caught on trees flowers, bushes etc - takes me twice as long as it should due the managing the cable. hence why Im looking for another option.

G Rex, thanks for the reply. I had seen a 13" in Global House. Went to buy. Then the following conversation..... "no have" .. "But you have one on display" "We no longer sell that brand" "Ok I'll buy the display one then" "Can not sell display" And yes, it was still on display last I visited the store... Lol.... the logic escapes me. The problem with brush cutters is having to go back and rake up the cuttings, another job, more time. Besides they don't leave an ever cut. Hope that makes sense.

Will B Good. Thanks for taking time to reply.... what brand of lawnmower do you have, I looked on Lazada but couldn't find smaller the 18".

I'm looking for a small petrol lawnmower 12-13". It's for multiple lawn areas with trees and bushes etc, so a larger machine is just to awkward as is dealing with a power cable for an electric machine. Been to the usual stores Thaiwatsadu, Home pro, Toolpro etc, but the smallest is about 18", Even looking online it the same 18". Anyone know of a store selling smaller machines. Battery lawnmower just don't last long enough either. Thanks

Actually the precious metals are real money, Fiat money (your paper notes) is government-issued currency that is not backed by a physical commodity but merely by the stability of an issuing government. All it takes is for that stability to evaporate and so does your fiat currency, as many countries in both ancient and modern times will attest to. But the metals will still have a physical value.

Totally agree - I've been staking gold and silver for many years - and at the moment are many percentage points up - but, that's not the reason for staking - the global financial system is in turmoil with no normal price discovery in any of the markets (Big thanks to the central banks and MMT) and getting worse, so as mainly as a hedge I sleep very well at night and I expect the metals to do very well in the coming year or so. I've also been buying here in Thailand, love the very low premiums, ease of buying and selling. Buying silver In the UK one has to pay 20% tax on top of spot and premiums, here its only 7% so I already consider that a great saving (for the future) and have begun buying. Although silver is not very popular in Thailand as locals prefer gold, I believe that may change when/if the prices rise.

HI I've been buying/selling Gold/Silver for a number of years, I have some Gold in Thailand, but think its time to buy some silver as well. A quick search and I found the Bangkok Assay who sell and will buy back your bullion. Also a found Bowdins (bowinsgroup.com) they seem to have cheaper fees My question is: Has anyone used Bowdins and can comment on their experience or have any other recommendations for bullion suppliers who will also buy back? Many thanks
