Something new at the bank
Shop mak replied to moogradod's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Still use my small laminated photocopy (ATM size) of my passport. No problem. -
The procurement includes 110 English and Thai characters, two logos and the installation of the two name plates, estimated at about 19 million baht So 'only' 172,000 baht for each characters then. What a bargain. Could had built some new hospitals or schools for 32- 33,000.000 baht, but this is more important? As stupid as never ending 'lampgate' scandal. But to admit it, or learn from it, never.

Flood free = not soi Buakhao. Not third road northern end. Cheap transport almost everywhere. Walking, all between central road (pattaya klang) and south pattaya road (pattaya tai) Nightlife, soi buakhao area, but comes with many floods yearly, guaranteed. Heavy traffic. Soi 17 near walking street nightlife, but condos are more native older smaller cheaper. Supermarket, Villa soi buakhao 15, Avenue. Condo rental now up again in this area so within your budget, only limited units. Mall, central pattaya beach road next to View Talay 6 condo (VT6) Rent there up again, start 20k up up. Was there few months ago, many units run down, not same photos. 48 sqm large condo and 'the view' from high floor south side is a plus. Alternative Jomtien beach area, 10000 vacant condos and still bargain to be found easily from 8-10k. Nicer area than pattaya imo, when you get tired of hookers in your face in central south pattaya. Nightlife bars, plenty of restaurants, 10 baht taxi 10 minute to Pattaya second road.

Late afternoon was a advice among expats for years, seems that is no longer a sure thing. Agents ger more work, IO less frustrations from guys missing correct paperwork, a win win for them. If I remember correct, current building was partly or mostly sponsored by pattaya business owners etc. Will they help again?

Only Foodland for me. Been here too long, so the others doesn't do it for me. Villa, only if they stop price almost everything more than all others, heck, even small ice cream they want 1-3 baht more than all others. In their vegetable section I feel robbed, +300% more than the shop near market soi Buakhao.

I need to visit a chick from sri racha, how to get there?
Shop mak replied to parafareno's topic in Pattaya
Bolt taxi app, pattaya - Sri Racha 300 baht one way. OP you checked that she speaks English (videocam)? Fun thread, please report back how it went. Only a 100 possible surprises might wait for you, all fun if you have sense of humor. And ready to possibly meet family and friends. Just don't say to her 'Pom rak khun' I love you. 'Pom jak tengan' I want to marry. ???? When she say: Marry 'sinsod' only 300,000 and 5 baht gold, You found a bargain. -
What Level Of Speaking And Writing Thai Are You At?
Shop mak replied to KunMatt's topic in Thai Language
Level: almost native according to thai people, when I add khmer and lao, big smiles and laughter all around. Totally worth the effort. Took 7 years learned by myself 1999-2005 as expat with a new wife with zero english. Not much else to do in isaan. Read write: No. Wish I had taken the time to learn it -
What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2023)
Shop mak replied to CharlieH's topic in Entertainment
Netflix: Bridgerton. A quality british 2 seasons serie. Bridgerton, London 1813, the Regency rivalry between the lordly Bridgerton family and the lordly Featherington family who are each keen to be seen as the most lordly of lordly families and lord it mostly lordily over the rest of Regency London’s high society. -
DHL asked me to pay with bank app when parcel arrived in BKK, transfer easy done in a minute online. I now order food from home, previously I never knew how much to pay on arrival. Since last autumn a new system is in place, all fees get calculated before checkout payment, and nothing to pay when parcel arrive in Thailand. Duty Vat seems to be less on food products than a year ago, when I never dare to order more than 2,500 baht, since duty vat varied on previous orders and was quit high. Now I order for up to 8,000 baht, and vat duty is reasonable low, compared to 1 year ago.

Much incorrect posted here. We bought for average 10-15k monthly until last year. We declined 20+ packages due to courier always attempt delivery late evening, even courier know we never at home evenings, written on parcel, in thai. We proved to Lazada (photos) that a certain courier company had 5-10 delivery staff in our area from 10 am, so no excuse for attempt delivery to us 10+ hours later. We had also politely requested each driver to deliver early, since they obviously was in our area since morning. Yes lazada always called and asked why we declined, but we was never penalized or unable to order again. Requested Lazada many times to implement time slot for delivery eg 10-14, 14-18, after 1800. Finally had enough last year with crappy frustrating delivery service, when also Kerry started to attempt delivery late evening. No more orders. Done.

1 chinese seller I ordered clothes from, sent a large empty envelope - twice! He was reported. Still active on Lazada. 1 local seller I ordered a case for mobile phone. Received a tiny ring that some people like to put behind their phone. Reported to Lazada. That, and horrible delivery service last year, attempt delivery after 1900 until 2100 in the evening, even label says in thai that customer only at home daytime ... is why I stop buy from Lazada. Enough bad service since Lazada th changed owners some years ago.

Once bitten by soi dogs myself, I get furious each time I read news like this. Thailands law to protect street animals, and animal cruelty has gone too far. Children get bitten and severely attacked, tourists in the 1000s get bitten yearly. In popular tourist resort Pattaya, number of street dogs is out of control. Thailand is eager to leave 'thirld world status', but can't even control and remove street dogs around the country, not even in popular tourist cities. But, it makes a nice extra earner for the many hospitals around the country who charge 2-5000 for shots.

Wave of outbreak in Thailand is guaranteed before songkran, unless yet another U-turn comes. International news report that many chinese airplane passengers tested positive for C-19 earlier. Tv news this week report new peak in positive cases in China. Great timing to allow them into Thailand. https://www.taiwanplus.com/world-news/china/230105009/who-accuses-china-of-underrepresenting-covid-19-surge https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/half-of-the-passengers-on-2-flights-from-china-had-covid/ar-AA15KIW5?cvid=4d0d7a2326b242008a4533dd60f5958f https://www.laprensalatina.com/chinese-national-flees-after-testing-positive-for-covid-19-in-south-korea/ https://news.yahoo.com/milan-reports-50-passengers-china-154902106.html https://www.foxnews.com/world/china-covid-crisis-beijing-hospital-beds-families-burn-bodies-streets-deaths-spike https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/22/china/china-covid-deaths-crematorium-intl-hnk-mic

Hope camera's will show why he took the detour to Pratumnak area. Something doesn't make sense with that. Who followed after him, the long way home? This case is probably in media worldwide soon, so RTP will work hard to solve this mystery, and I think they will. Don't want to speculate now, too much unknown at this point. RIP.
