  1. No. All taxis, Grab, Bolt,etc use either Google Maps or Waze. It not only helps with directions but real time traffic and road closures. Just show the driver (taxi) the hotels website with its address. Better yet avoid Taxis and use Grab or Bolt. Unfortunately there not allowed to pick up at the Cities airports but many people do it anyways.
  2. No, that's not true. "Why Are Debit Card Chargebacks More Difficult for Cardholders? Debit cards are linked directly to a bank account, rather than a loan from a credit provider. That means that there are different laws and fewer fraud prevention measures in place." https://www.chargebackgurus.com/blog/know-your-chargeback-dispute-types-debit-card-vs.-credit-card#:~:text=FAQ-,Why Are Debit Card Chargebacks More Difficult for Cardholders%3F,fraud prevention measures in place.
  3. Always a better idea. Much easier to deal with if any problems arise. That said I've had some good success with Agoda in a pinch.
  4. I don't think you understand. Companies are still making a profits. More so with different payment options including credit cards, PayPal,Bitcoin, etc. Perhaps just Google the difference between using a Credit Card and a Debit Card on online purchases. You'll be enlightened and Perhaps learn something.
  5. Not every merchant passes on a fee and it would be stupid to do so. Sounds like a person without credit talking baloney.
  6. Credit Cards are safer to use than a debit card. You have better fraud protection. "paying with credit or cash is a much better choice. In those instances, using your debit card could result in losing money or increasing your risk of fraud." https://www.businessinsider.com/when-you-should-not-use-debit-card-2018-3#:~:text=However%2C in some situations paying,never use a debit card. However some people have no choice, like yourself, most likely a person with bad credit.
  7. Yes. I called and explained I did not make the booking and they reimbursed the charge. Perhaps It was because I used a Visa card and not a Visa debit card? Good luck.
  8. Bad air is not a new phenomenon in Thailand or Southeast Asia for that matter.
  9. We're in Sakhon, Hopefully get some rain and thunderstorms this afternoon.
  10. Cassava is a root vegetable. Being underground it will be fairly safe from strong winds. "Cassava is a root vegetable. It is the underground part of the cassava shrub" https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323756#:~:text=Cassava is a root vegetable,similar shape to sweet potatoes.
  11. Thats probably not healthy at 62. Your diet sounds difficult enough.
  12. Or Grab, they have the Grab motorcycle option. Bolt is a little cheaper and highly recommended though. Either way very cheap.
  13. Lazada has a one year sim, 1,7770 baht unlimited 15 GB. Roughly 147 baht a month. I use it as a hot spot on an extra phone when traveling or for the kids to play games.
  14. No it doesn't. Crazy talk. You obviously don't have a car or clue how these applications work.
  15. Most stores will only except up to 10 satangs in one purchase. Probably to deter people from bringing in handfuls of the irritating and useless. Your best bet is to bring them to a bank Your affiliated with as if you aren't there customer they'll also decline to waist there employees time counting small change.
  16. It's available everywhere and is subsidiary of Google. Great app.
  17. Who in there right mind would want limits put on them like that. Give me global warming before restrictions ruin the reasons to live. Laughable.
  18. Funny. It's fashionable to wear a watch though. I can actually answer my phone through my Samsung Watch.
  19. Best to avoid anything like Bungee, parasailing, etc. Any type of maintenance or care will most likely go unheeded in Thailand.
  20. Most Thai food, unless you eat at upscale Thai restaurants in bigger cities, is nothing to write home about. Usually sinewy meats soaked in Sugar and MSG. However you get what you pay for.
  21. Max out at 30,000 a month in our parts of Issan. Sakon Nakhon.
  22. And if they don't they'll be stuck having sex with the usual fat and lethargic western women.
  23. A few idiots loud and constantly playing on there phones ruining the education for the rest of the students. No wonder most Thais lack a proper education.
