Silly excuse, it's not about avoiding parts but avoiding CCP companies. We should be restricting our support of the Chinese economy as much as possible. Buy Japanese, Korean or American with a few Chinese parts is far more ethical than buying from a red Chinese company.

Not real Thai then, more like wannabe hi so. Got enough for decent Thai and foreign food thank you and fridge full of beer, off to Lamyai concert now to socialise with a couple of thousand Thais, have fun with your table and expensive scoff ????

No never heard of him

I don't like sitting on the floor eating their food and drinking their crappy beer, that does not mean I should be told to leave by know it all farang phobic foreigners. On the other hand I am quite happy to socialise with thousands of them for 25 years at over 1200 Thai concerts, where I have almost always been the only foreigner present, so your impression is wrong. I will enjoy my type of socialising without being lectured to by som tam eaters and Leo drinkers, thanks all the same.

To them not to me, let them get on with it

Nor did i. Left Landmark Hotel at 2.30 for the Brit embassy, when taxi went wrong way thought that's that then. Got there just before closing handed in the freedom to marry docs- told nip down the road for translation will let you back in after 3.30 to hand back ???? Pick up am next day, off to MOFA get there just before 12, go back PM to pick up at 2.30. For once they call us early and think no way we can get to the amphur by 3.30 but mrs found one up the road, we get there at 3.30. Official finds a common problem- bad translation, hallelujah I think, but the bitch lets us off. Just bad luck all round. ????

If you tell them no salt, no sugar no msg they look at you as if you are a child abuser. Lot of the pre bought sauce has it in anyway. Last pad thai I had was uneatable due to the sugar content

We did it in under 24 hours from going to the embassy to the amphur. At every step is was the last minute, embassy let us back in after closing with translated docs and at the amphur the door closed just after we got there. I only agreed to do it as I thought it was impossible as I was back home next day, <deleted>!

The spread of Chinese companies is reassuring, wake up!

It should be the CCP loss, these people are the enemy, not your friend. Buying Chinese, which almost always contains tech copied from the west, is only shoring up an evil system. What the hell though if you can get a slightly better deal and a few more MPG right? pathetic hypocrisy.

Pics would be interesting

Just avoid terminal 5, no train to immigration when I was there a few weeks back meaning a very long walk

Porcelain better than ceramic, nice work which you would find very hard to get done in Thailand to this standard. All the tilers we have had ended up doing poor work. Includes kitchen with tiles on wall with running downhill and main room with un even gaps. We did have one good tiler but he fell out when he claimed he had done more sq meters than we had bought. Never seen one use spacers and often not even the correct trowel or adhesives.

ThaiWatsadu we went there spent ages looking at 3 types of tiles, got the girl hovering about to put them on the floor. Right we will have 26sq meters of that one- no have she shot back, ok these then the second choice- no have- they cannot get the materials. Right then it will have to be number 3 do you have them? have, got 26sq meters? have, ok those then. Have problem, price not same as on shelf -gone up. I said we would have them at the shelf price or leave, She said no so we left for Homepro.

They do not have to prove guilt. Remember the old man convicted of LM years ago for sending sms messages, he was convicted on the grounds he could not prove he had not done it.

Wolf Blass is good as well at around 400 baht

Some people just have more money than others

19 crimes is OK got 4 bottles for 20 quid in Morrisons UK on offer, here it's 599 baht a bottle ????

Does the fruit wine have different coloured tax stickers? Just opened a Nadin 777 red that is fruit wine, yesterday at wine connection a bottle of French wine there was fruit wine, almost all of it is. Nadin has a blue tax sticker

How much is it?

Gets me to sleep, but wake up after a couple of hours. I read higher dose has no more effect than small ones.

It may be not possible to avoid the CCP produced goods entirely, but it is to avoid them as much as you can. Batteries are hardly comparable to cars. If they were from Taiwan I would consider buying one, CCP Chinese, no way.

Been trying to get the mrs to dress up like this for years, got this ones phone number? ????

Chinese are they, well they are off the list of possibles, along with anything else I can avoid like their phones

If they are paying a lot of tax how can they make a profit at these prices, sadly we do not get to Lotus's very often
