It depends on what you are shopping. If you like cottage cheese, greek yogurt, wine, chocolate, cereals and other items than Thailand is expensive. I am often moved to tears when walking in a German Aldi or Lidl or Rewe shop. You can argue that nobody needs these products. The mentioned items are even expensive when produced in Thailand.

Available in nearly every supermarket as well.

On your phone go to settings, apps, Lazada and disable notifications over there. There will be no more pop-up messages appearing unless you update the app next time. You can do the same again. But for messages within the app just ignore them.

Many of them come with a DTV visa for digital nomads which allows them to do digital work. It is encouraged by the government (soft power promotion) -
Where to Buy a 2TB External SSD for Mac Backup?
msbkk replied to falangUK's topic in IT and Computers
Open the Shopee app. At the lower edge near Home is the Mall Icon. Find the original manufacturers or dealers as sellers. Always check who is the seller. Lazada has the LazMall in the upper part of the app. Always find the original shops of original manufacturers or dealers. That means the seller is for example SanDisk or Kingston or Power buy or IT city for example. You will receive the shipment directly from these companies, not some unknown sellers with counterfied items. You can also try the search function and look up SanDisk Flagship Store. -

No, you must take a look who is the seller. If the seller is original SanDisk company for example this problem will never happen. -

Even well known stores like Advice, Seagate, Kingston, Sandisk and others are selling on Lazada and Shopee. No problem in ordering from these platforms but pay attention to order within Lazada or Shopee mall shops. I ordered an SSD 2 tb disk from SandDisk at Lazada for a promotion price and it is great. -

In many western countries are not so many branches of "home banks" left. That is mostly a matter of the past. -
"I want the TRUTH!" ... about the legality of Melatonin in Thailand.
msbkk replied to Krillin's topic in Health and Medicine
Lazada is here in Thailand and most (but not all) Melatonin sellers are here, too. I would not expect any problem for items ordered from Lazada. -
Dates are also excellent.

Anyone taking Creatine as a health supplement for muscle gain?
msbkk replied to advancebooking's topic in The Wellness Zone
I have used it previously and liked it. My doctor told me to immediately stop after a blood test flagged me as having kidney issues. It is expected to have increased creatinine levels when using this supplement as a false positive for kidney problems. My doctor did however not agree. After stopping creatinine the blood level went down but is still slightly higher than before. This might have other reasons but to be safe I do not use creatinine anymore. -
Yes, you can also subscribe directly at Bangkok Post website.

No, it is not free. The free version is only a fraction of the complete paper. You can subscribe to the full online version for 4,700 Baht per year.

No, there is no 2 tier pricing. First you will need a third party damages insurance and the insurance company can do the registration for you. I mean the official drone license. For national parks and public parks you are not allowed to fly, park rangers and security guards can spot you quickly in my experience. To get a permit for Khao Yai is most probably not easy because of the wildlife there.

I agree with that. The 4 Lite has less options and less capacity and the compact model even less than the Lite.

Every country has its dialects and even in a country like Germany you can encounter situations where people do not understand each others (for example tourists in Bavaria). Also Switzerland has different languages. The main point is to learn at least some basic Thai conversation. I travel often in areas where English is not understood. Even if my Thai is far from perfect I am always able to have basic conversations with locals. Of course in some areas it is more complicated but these cases are rare.

BKK Bank due by April 30th?
msbkk replied to Djinn91's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I suggest you check with your mobile provider. They all have English speaking call centers. Or just drop by at one of their shops. I am using postpaid since so many years and cannot remember the requirements by AIS. -

Postpaid Sim cards are not only for Thais, I am using one since many years. I know others who do as well. -

Yes, but be careful. Some shops sell grey imports without official warranty in Thailand. -
Investing for safe returns

She can invest in a long term stock mutual fund and deduct this in the personal income tax calculation. Tax-Saving Funds (RMF/Thai ESG) -
Only to be used for short term use. You will damage your eyes in the long term. And most people do have different eye strength for both eyes which no cheap glasses can cover.

It does not really matter how large your cup is. It does not mean that there is more coffee (quantity of beans used) inside. You can see that at Starbucks serving large cups with weak coffee. A cup size is relevant only in regard of the water quantity used in the coffee. 1 Americano by international standard is always 1 double Espresso (usually around 18 gr. of beans) filled up with water.
