Correct, to put in BTO's words, You ain't seen nothing yet

[quote]Former Palang Pracharath MP/retired army general Somchai Wisanuwong who is currently seeking re-election under the Bhumjaithai banners has reportedly emerged as top favourite to win one of the five constituencies of Kanchanaburi.[/quote] How this can be known already. Are advanced polling results made public?

The FED had no other choice than increase by only 0.25%, because of the bank crisis, which they created themselves by ignoring the obvious inflation for 2 years. Anyone who thinks the US bank crisis is over, will be in for a surprise.

This email I sent to Lazada on May 4. This concerns order number 689xxxxxxxxx1399, as well as EVERY other order during the past 12 months when Flash Express was the logistics company. On May 3 my order was marked as WILL BE DELIVERED TODAY, so I waited for the delivery. Nobody showed up or contacted me. At 9pm that day the Flash Express tracking page showed a notice that they had contacted me in a 17 SECONDS duration call. Nobody made a call, and it would also be impossible to establish a call in 17 seconds. On May 4, there was still no further update, other than out for delivery, will be delivered TODAY May 3. I contacted lazada customer support twice that day, and the response was simply pathetic. Obviously Lazada support is also non-existent, or they can't be bothered. On May 4 at 4pm I drive to the Flash Express warehouse, similar as with EVERY other order in the past 12 months, which is less than 2km from my residence to go after my order. Although the order is marked as out for delivery for more than 24 hours already, and they claim to have called me the previous day, it now becomes clear that the order even has never been handed to a driver. Pictures included as evidence. This is not a standalone event, but happens with each and every order where Flash Express is the logistics. They never ever call or deliver, though they always list fake calls, lasting between 4 and 17 seconds, and claim I reschedule the delivery. You will know that it is impossible to establish a call within that time. A few times they called at 6am or at 11pm, but let the phone ring just one time, or hang up without saying a word as soon as I pick up Then, when I drive to the warehouse to pick up the item, which is certainly not my duty, they will make a 1 ring call to my number as soon as I have left, to pretend that they did the delivery to my address. I have photo evidence that not a single order during the last 12 months, and where Flash Express was the logistics, has been delivered to my residence, and that there never has been a phone conversation regarding any of those deliveries. My house is in a residential area, in the same sub-district and just THREE turns away from the Flash warehouse I have reported this at least 10 times already during the past 12 months, but NOTHING has been done by Lazada, so obviously they don't give a damn about customers. And this was the response from Lazada 2 days later, which shows what a pathetic organisation they actually are Warm Greeting from Lazada! Regarding your concern about delivered but not received from order number: 689xxxxxxx1399 As we coordinated with the logistics department, they informed us that you received it already. If you still have not received the parcel, do not hesitate to contact us back via Chat. We are willing to coordinate with our team once again.

Thanks again, I will visit the office tomorrow with the requested copies.

And so it starts. Just seen this post on FB

Thanks, I now got the status, and this is what it shows. Dos that mean I need to send them my passport details, which I assume I gave them already?

I filed for the withholding tax refund on March 1 in the Jomtien revenue office. All documents were completed by the helpful and friendly lady, and I was shown how much my refund would be. As of today there is still no cheque in the post, which I think is a bit overdue. Not? I recall from last year that it's possible to check the status online, but I forgot how to do, and can't find clear instructions anywhere. Some help to steer me in the right direction will be appreciated.

Anyone in this thread, and you know who I have in mind, that want to claim that the 2.7% inflation rate is not a fake number, doesn't live in Thailand or is just looking for an argument by ridiculing other members posts without adding anything to the topic. I can out of my head quote 10 every day products, made in Thailand with Thai produce, that have increased in price by a minimum of 20% in the last 12 months. I don't even talk about imported foods that have increased by 200%, since they are most likely not included in the index. By the way, Makro seems to b the worst. I visit Makro once a week, and there doesn't pass a single week that there are no significant price increases. Many of their cash and carry assortment is now higher priced than Big C. I don't visit Lotussssss', owned by the same monopoly, but I presume they will have a similar price strategy.

What I mean is that Flash NEVER delivers. They are located 3 streets from my residence, but they never deliver. For the past at least 12 months I have to go pickup every item myself. The scenario is like this. I follow the tracking, and at one point it says out for delivery, the driver will attempt to deliver your parcel TODAY. Of course nobody shows up, and at the end of the day there will be a notice, recipient rescheduled delivery, although nobody called. They will send a text message with a short link to a tracking page, and on their tracking page there will be a call lasting 5 seconds. Sometimes they call, like at 6am or 10.30pm, but let it ring only once, or if I'm fast enough to answer they just hang up without saying anything The next day will be the same. So in the end I will have to drive to the warehouse to go pick up the parcel, which has never been given to a driver. Below are the pictures from my last "delivery" which was marked already 2 days as out for delivery by the driver. For returns it is the same. If you select pickup, Flash is the only option, and they don't pick up. I have a return that is marked for pickup since November 14 Now the real strange thing is that if a seller sends me something outside the lazada system, using Flash, the item will be on my doorstep 24 hours after it has been sent. This has happened twice in the past 2 weeks, where an order was damaged, and the seller asked not to open a return request. He sent me a replacement, and it was delivered 24 hours after he had sent it. Similar with another seller about 6 months ago.

Merchants don't have an option to choose the logistics company, it is automatically selected by the system. I have big problems for a year already with Lazada using Flash Express, and I have reported it to Lazada umpteen times and asked to remove them as an option from my profile, but they say it is impossible. I have also asked several sellers not to use Flash, as I will by default reject the delivery, but they all say they can not select the logistics

Not exactly, the RD has issued a questionnaire asking Thais and PRs their opinion on a tax, that's all. And that is not the same as proposing? pro·pose verb gerund or present participle: proposing 1. put forward (an idea or plan) for consideration or discussion by others.

Why would there have been a need to roll out the tanks or men in green, if in fact he controls them? It's obvious you are the real expert on Thai politics and everything else Thai. Yingluck's FATHER, right?

"Meanwhile, Kriengsak Chareonwongsak, a scholar and lecturer at Harvard University, said there are four post-election possible scenarios." Are we sure he is a lecturer and not a weatherman?

That is one source. There is an article in the other newspaper, dated 4 May, that says purchasing small amounts is NOT illegal, and only a license is needed when purchasing a substantial amount.

I thought it was obvious from my comments that this is exactly what I'm thinking about. As far as I understand the system, they don't need to vote unanimous for one, they just can vote for both, and they form a coalition

I, same as every other foreigner in this country, have no money in this game, I only observe with eyes wide open and brain engaged

Because the senators, appointed by the 2 P's have 250 votes, and while they all went to Prayuth during the previous election, since he was the default choice, they will now be split between the two. My money is on that it is Prawit's turn to be PM, unless the weed constructor pays them off enough, so he gets first seat at the trough

Mate, point are given at the finish

You do realize that since they are now 2 independent parties, each of them needs only half of those 126 MP's?

Sodium Cyanide has many legal uses, look it up on Wikipedia. It is not a restricted chemical, so everyone can buy it online. There are 100 people of a population of 70 million that have bought, and other than the actrice, who already explained what she intended to use it for, no other names have been made public. So other than your conspiracy loving self, what evidence do you have that the other 99 are just every day people, and not businesses who had a legal purpose for it?
