    Thank you. Yes, Nespresso is expensive but convenient and they have a really large selection. Unfortunately not always what you need regardless of varieties. Happend with Twinings as well (they dumped the "Prince of Wales Tea" variety - in my opinion the best they ever had and it happened with Lotus', they dropped their phantastic Tesco Lotus Original tea).

     

    Since I drink only one cup of coffee for breakfast (maybe two) 2'200.- THB last for me for about 2-3 months. One thing I have to say: Nespresso is lightening fast with their delivery - I have my new capsules in Pattaya in 2 days and ordering is easy, too. They have a good website contrary to many Thai sites I have seen.

     

    Your GF must be a genius, you need to fill up the exact amount and how she exchanges the alufoil is a mystery to me. The machine punches holes into the foil and not only the amount of coffee but the correct pressure are vital for a good coffee.

    Each morning, she will look at you and ask "honey, are you still alive?"

    No, a 40 million investment to obtain permission to buy up to 1 rai. You have to additionally pay market rates for the land.

     

    1 rai in Bangkok in upper Sukhumvit will cost another 20-30 million. 1 rai on the centre of Bangkok up to 800 million.

    Why I never meet a woman who's parents own such land?

    I come always across the ones who maybe will inherit 2 rais of riceland somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

    Banks are definitely closed yesterday and today and again on the 28th.

    Branches in malls may well be open.

    The 15th and 29th are also holidays and are listed on the bank of Thailand's website but sometimes branches do open on these added extra days.

    Not true.

    My friend is a bank manager at Krungrsi in Pattaya and they are open today.
