  1. Next time, buy a condo in your own name, Peter. Guess Peter never read Asean Now / Thaivisa.
  2. COD is not a scam, if customer purchase within Lazada, and follow shipping in Lazada app or website. Some people had bad experience because parcel was sent outside Lazada. Had customer followed order in Lazada update, customer would see it was never sent. Parcel should been declined. Lazada choose what courier to use, seller have no saying in this. Don't believe? Call Lazada and ask. Customer are not allowed to open and inspect parcel, before payment. Some succeed doing it, but the rule are pay first. Don't believe? Call Lazada and ask. Always video record opening of parcel, proof if anything else was sent. Surprised how many people who still order online, now in the new normal times. So much rubbish products, from other countries. Quality of couriers seems to go downhill, many can't read delivery instructions, nor respect request to deliver early or late, in city center area. I'm done with online shopping. Have better things to do, than wait for courier all day from 8 am to 9 pm. Lazada still haven't implemented time-slot delivery option, ignoring many customers request.
  3. Charges include "demanding bribe, malfeasance, detaining a person, invading a property and having a weapon in possession" The old woman was almost 80 years, F.G.S! I'm furious ..... what a society we live in. 'Thai Rak Thais' and all that, and - so called respect for the older people. Name them and shame them on TV and newspapers. Terminate all of them, and at least 1 year in jail.
  4. https://www.homepro.co.th/m/search?q=Recliner
  5. There is 2 ATM in soi Post Office, One outside 7eleven, the other near second road.
  6. I'm having sausages for dinner within an hour ... will not taste the same again, after I was stupid enough to click "Reveal hidden content" OP Moderator: please another warning: don't look just before eat food. LOL my fault
  7. Are Thais really happy, behind the 'face thing'?No. Alcolism seems to increased, same with ganja that's currently legal. Many long time expats seen / known Thais with multiple suicide attempt and self harm. Violence in relationship is common here, same as in many other countries. Even Thais strong bond to family, comes with a hefty price: to always be expected to send money home. A heavy burden since covid started. Observe how many alcohol fuelled parties that ends with violence. I used to think that Thais was so happy, living in the present, without any thoughts about tomorrow. Then they started purchase on credit and downpayments. Their friends had new motorcycle and top end Iphone, so they 'had to buy it too' - on credit. Buying a new pickup on 5% downpayment ... many without income to pay installments in addition to current cost of living. Thais are not more happy than people in western countries, since Thais adopted western style, must have, must buy new new new.
  8. No lisence required in Pattaya for model identical to image below. No tax registration. Helmed required in Pattaya. Don't buy online, horrible build quality. Above from personal experience in Pattaya, with similar pedal model image. Note: if it looks different, more or less same 50-100cc without pedals, registration, DL etc Are required.
  9. The very irritating pop up video ads (on mobile phone), cover 1/3 of my screen, (with screen zoom on, as I always use) and are the only reason why I seldom read this site now. 'Skip ad' only lead to another new ad pop up within seconds. Poorly thought out lay-out, without consideration for those who need (accessibility) screen zoom set to more than 100% (Red frame added, to highlight popup ad)
  10. Yes jacko I replied about driving licence as OP asked about and I replied with experience chatting to Mot's. "Up to 18k" meaning many cheaper options available.
  11. Agents can often bypass the whole procedure, whatever it regards. I asked agent for all options available.
  12. NO, its not! 18,000 they do everything about DL. Comprehend? I wrote: Have many solutions for you, up to 18k. Read thoroughly, before you jump to wrong conclusions. Mots replied to me directly, about DL! Salerno, stop stalking!
  13. Medium level is 1,500 baht for consultation only, add on further test, and medicine.
  14. Old news, reported earlier multiple times
  15. Affordable = local insurance. Quality insurance = International expat insurance. You can't have both, and age 60+ should go for expat insurance. Expect premium 80,000 - 130,000 thb year. Affordable often come with low coverage as well. * Major surgery is 3 Mill++
  16. If she color her hair at home, big c extra have products that supposedly don't contains 'bad chemicals' The smell can be awful a few days, put her on the balcony ... 555 For the odd sleep problem, Melatonin works fine for me, and no hang-over next day, not like sleeping pills.
  17. LOL. Numbeo is clueless, their numbers are taken out of the air. Cost of living are much higher. Rent is much higher and area much smaller, can't be compared. Quality if living? Thailand win x1000 times.
  18. Many trips there, only beautiful Boracay would be on my very short list. The country is just so difficult to live in, if one have lived in Thailand already. Food is tasteless. Traffic is a nightmare. Dirty, dust, air pollution, litter everywhere. Internet often very slow, can't do anything. Extreme long lines in banks supermarket pharmacy. Not much medicine available, compared to Thailand. Prescription required on many medicines, that are sold over the counter in Thailand. Out of stock is the norm. Rocky beaches many places. High entrance fee to beautiful beaches in many locations. Hassle to travel from island to island, and their ferries are famous for fire, accidents, and deaths. Lease apartment condo more expensive than Thailand, and much smaller units. Always require lease contract for a year. Expensive electric 2,5x Thailand. Burglery, robbery, pick pockets. No divorce, only time consuming expensive annulment. Daily life irritate many expats. The few good things. Long stay 3 year max. Own import Vat duty tax doesn't kick in before 5,000p. Lines of women want to become your gf, most chubby and they let themself go (gain weight) when in a longtime relationship / married. Cheap booze and smokes. Friendly people. English spoken. Friendly to foreigners. That's it. I continue stay in Thailand.
  19. Bump. Having a normal pinay gf, is one of the most economical one will ever find. They don't ask for much, when whey ask, it's a real need for help. If gf is a freelancer 'pro', they will drain you, in any country. Actually, the people there is the only advantage I see, compared to other countries in asia.
  20. Ask on local forums, https://www.philippines-expats.com/ https://www.livingincebuforums.com/
  21. This should be done years ago, this can actually increase number of tourist. The country has huge loans to pay, this will help the burden faster than wait for their dream of 80 million tourist in 2026 or whenever. If these casino's become for foreigners only, it would save many Thais from loosing all they have.
  22. https://www.mots-services.com/ Used by many expats. Have many solutions for you, up to 18k. Agent next to immigration jomtien quote 25k up.
  23. If or when life get to boring here in Thailand, I take a few months in Cambodia or Phillipines. That always set my head straight, and I return to Thailand, with a fresh pair of rose tinted glasses. And love every day for yet another year. Highly recommended.
  24. One of many pessimistic topics from black op's that I don't appreciate. The world has more than enough with C19, Ukraine war, and recession blooming. What we need and want in these times, is happy positiv topics, just to give us all a break from the harsh realities. Any hope OP?
