  1. It is also to inform you that the parcel will arrive soon and to check if someone is at home to accept delivery.
  2. The phone number for online orders is different as is necessary for the shipping company (Kerry, Postal office, Flash Express) to contact you.
  3. Great. Thaifriendly was however not so commercial at that time I guess. Nowadays the majority is interested in money, but not all are gold diggers. I also met a few good ones.
  4. According to my knowledge Cialis has no effect on prostate cancer prevention but is used to treat symptoms of Prostate hypertrophy by relaxing the blood vessels which can help with urination. And of course it is great for erectile dysfunction.
  5. I personally like Chiang Rai because it is rather quiet. If mass tourism starts it will lose some appeal for me.
  6. It can be measured with an oven thermometer. Anyway, it also takes much longer to prepare a dish in that very cheap models, if you try a better brand you will experience a nice difference.
  7. It was an Otto which is a low priced "brand". The price was 899 Baht.
  8. Correct, i would however stay away from the too cheap ones. The temperature control is mostly rubbish, it takes much longer to heat up and the temperature is different from the adjusted value. At least this was my experience with a purchase less than 1,000 Baht. I discarded it and bought one for close to 5,000 Baht which is excellent.
  9. There is no perfect solution but two ways to have less of them. First of all there is a lizard repellent spray available at Homepro and supermarkets . You are supposed to spray it at places Geckos like to sit. The smell will result in lizards avoiding the sprayed areas. The other way is to prevent them from coming in through gaps at sliding windows and doors. It sounds funny but it really is a good solution, just spray WD 40 around all the gaps from the outside and inside of the house. Geckos do not like the smell and will avoid contact. Just spray the window frames with it.
  10. According to my knowledge there is no food containing natural testosterone. There are some foods which might help the body to produce natural testosterone.
  11. I am using Samsung phones since the beginning, never had any problem. You have to buy the original brand ones directly from Samsung shops or reputable dealers.
  12. msbkk replied to pixelaoffy's topic in General Topics
    Both companies are related, it is a joint venture.
  13. As Wise transfers for a pension are not really so cheap I recently switched to let my German pension directly transferred to my Thai bank account by the pension payment agency. The money usually arrives a day earlier, exchange rate is not great but acceptable as there are international bank charges involved. And I always get a written confirmation letter from the bank as reference. For me personally this has some advantages.
  14. Maybe the reason is that the hotels will receive much less from Agoda than you paid. That's why the hotel will charge the full price for a separate breakfast. A hotel explained to me once that 2 whole floors are booked by agents for the whole year and for this quota the hotel will receive only a fraction of the real room rates. My guess is that for the quota hotels agree to a minor breakfast charge and it is up to the agent how to calculate that.
  15. Blood Testing and Health Check Services - TLC medlab.com near Asoke
  16. If you open a Wise card with your Thai adress you will not get a card.
  17. It does not really matter for the result. The electric ones are faster and more convenient to use.
  18. Absolutely best and fastest time to go to Bangkok is Sunday mornings.
  19. It might depend a bit on the timeframe. I mostly buy 1 kg bags of fresh roasted coffee which lasts less than a month for myself. I did not experience any major loss of taste during this storage period. I am using airtight containers in dark color to avoid light, moisture and oxygen. But of course it is better to consume beans within a couple of days after purchase.
  20. Beans of opened bags should be kept airtight to avoid exposure to moisture and oxygen but should not be refrigerated, best to keep at room temperature.
  21. You are not allowed to use it in public parks, national parks , inside populated areas and you have to keep it in sight.
  22. I am owner of a small and light drone which is officially registered. There are insurers offering to do all the paperwork for you, it is not a big deal to get the registration. I have heard from a visitor that even tourists can use the registration service of insurers. Anyway, at the moment there is a ban to fly, even for registered drones.
  23. The issue is that planning of new condo buildings takes years in advance. You have to find the land and get necessary permits and negotiate with banks. Therefore developers cannot react or stop planned buildings so fast to adjust to declining demand. This is the reason why from time to time there is a glut.
  24. Do you have bank cards for your accounts? Because the cards will lead to yearly service charges.
