  1. Somebody did not get his monthly brown enveloppe it seems ?
  2. whatever you say, but how to know that you are on a legal or illegal site ?
  3. Get solar pannels. It will avoid getting cheated by those gated pool villa developpments in Hua Hin, Phuket or Pattaya who overcharge on electric and water to their farang clients residents who own property on leasehold.
  4. When will the authorities properly punish and enforce the rules to force the taxi crooks to put on the meter and stop cheating tourists and foreigners ? It's due to all the taxi cheats that these app's are popular and now the taxi cheats even try to scam you on the app. UBER must come back to thailand.
  5. increase salary but lower the thb value to compensate and crash the prices... 1 us$ should yield 45 thb. but if prices increase it will benefit to exports but definately not to the foreigners who will be financing the whole scheme. a weaker thb does not mean cheaper prices and tourists will soon realise and retirees will sell and leave.
  6. learn to read and fastcheck other press or social media on any hot topic. it may avoid you asking such questions and making a 000 of yourself.
  7. try google translate if you don't understand elementary english
  8. Android TV boxes are illegal despite being sold all over apprently. Is there some kind of official sticker or norm not to buy something illegal ?
  9. Yes it's a classic clerk over the counter cheating tactic. Your change is put on the counter but on the side and the rest is put in front. Mechanically you will only take what is in front and ignore the bills on the side. This is used all over the world that's why i always make sure when in Thailand or abroad to have small bills etc. A nuisance but necessary, Also there have small pocket translators now on Amazon that are connected to the gsm network at no extra charge or subscription, Very useful to communicate if you do not or cannot use google translate on your regular phone.
  10. No, prices will just inscrease for the rent-à-week/per month, female entertainement guides. it will never be less as there is far to much money to make,.
  11. And discourage tourists or retirees to either come to Thailand or to use services. As it is prices have already rocketed with all the income tax perhaps ? or maybe just greed. The tailors in Bangkok or Hua Hin, Phuket etc are cheating with prices now costing the same as in Europe. And please....don't bring up that excuse "it costs more in your country". Of course it does, that's why we come to spend here for cheaper prices and top quality. Otherwise, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, India, Vietnam and many more are all waiting for the farang retirees to come.
  12. What do you say to the elderly or the handicaped ? Sort your own things out ?
  13. They say Android TV boxes are illegal for sometime in Thailand and can get on into trouble. VPN is great but Netflix seems to block when they detect a know Ip address via VPN ? So what alternative ?
  14. They say all over that the android TV boxes are illegal ? VPN and the Molotov TV or HDPrimes seems the best to remain legal and not end up in jail ? just asking....
  15. Is Apple TV any worth in Thailand ? And any way to get just a 3 month subscription with a Tv provider for retirees who do not wish to stay longer and pay tax !!??! ????
  16. You have a point but if they want to prosper with farang money, it's totally the wrong way. People come to Thailand to relax and enjoy at crashed prices. Not to waste energy or to get annoyed with hateful negotiations and people trying to cheat them.
  17. Arrogant or rude people with inflated egos, who think they can repair anything and end up in having to call a qualified tech and pay triple, to mend their mess.......are far worse, IMHO.
  18. What I love is when people running service businesses try to manipulate, make one feel guilty and start claiming that the price back in the UK, US or Europe is higher, or that you are a Cheap Charlie and other rubbish. Never feel bad and plainly be shameless and find the best deal. Only a fool would pay similar prices in Thailand as compared with those back home.
  19. I do not pay that much in my Thai Bank nor my bank in Europe for an ATM service so if you consider normal to pay that much per month to some scamming US bank who could end up bankrupt in the next US bank crisis...... "555555"
  20. Apple Music and mainly Amazon TV and it's music that is free and then you must pay. Terrible choice of films on the basic subscription and any decent movie is to pay more. Cancel it unless you use the prime free delivery. If not no point on Amazon TV neither. Best is to get a TV with a satelite dish and watch all your programs.
  21. Was expecting some sort of answer like yours, but you are not the only foreigner in Thailand, Many people all over Bangkok Hua Hin Phuket have terrible experiences and have to go back and forth with absurd document requests. If you like to waste your time doing going back and forth between immigration offices in your village, your embassy in Bangkok etc etc, no problem. 5555 and even 6666 if you please.
  22. Becomming like France and it's beach front towns all over the south of France,. Weekly shootings by drug rival gangs leaving often innocent bystanders murdered in broad daylight. Marseille, Paris, or the city of Nice all to be avoided. S Spend your money and holidays elsewhere I may say. The world is going mad since the crisis caused by the US sanctions against Russia that are causing inflation and crisis all over. Once again america is destroying global peace and prosperity.
  23. Hello, welcome to recommendations for a good reliable electrician in Hua Hin area. Thank you.
  24. As a foreigner you will be denied many things in Thailand.
  25. Even if not concerned, the falang retiree wlll have to file all kinds of documents from home country tax, new hassles and enter another spiral of Thai bureaucracy and the risk to bang into new rules invented by the tax clerk just like as in some immigration or DLT offices. No thanks, Start looking around other foreigner friendly countries in Asia who will treat us farangs a bit better. Up to you if you want to spend all your retirement between immigration or now the tax office.
