It appears to be similar to Sports packages on TV/Internet. Initially you get the all singing dancing version that is yours for life. Further down the road they mysteriously come up with an upgraded package. So your once in a lifetime double platinum membership heads to the bottom of their 'improved' status scheme. Just another way of additional funds out of you. Oh sorry its called marketing. Best of luck with what you decide to do.

Is plastic recycling a hoax made up by Big Oil?
Korat Kiwi replied to flyingtlger's topic in General Topics
I've recently returned from NZ, and my there were some changes while I was away. Supermarket stores no longer provide single use plastic bags at checkouts. (Carry type bags) The Government also banned those plastic stickers you find on fruit advertising country/type/grade. It was good to see an increase in usage of paper bags. Now I'm back here, I'm blown away by the amount of plastic used. Early morning local fresh market must go thru tons of the stuff daily. Pickup trucks, bikes, scooters all heaving with single serve plastic bags of food. Where does all the plastic end up??? Landfill probably. Look on the side of the road, more plastic. It's everywhere. Now I'm not a greenie by any standard, but the amount of wastage here is mind blowing. -

Well I checked the label John, No mention of sugar anywhere and certainly doesn't taste sweet. -

Danish man denies allegations of theft at first court meeting
Korat Kiwi replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
So it's been 3 months in captivity and his defence lawyer hasn't had time to visit him yet! The Dane is probably feeling quite relaxed with all that..... Hell don't bother coming to see me this year as I won't answer the door anyways. Incredible. -
Phuket cracks down on illegal operations in Chinese restaurants
Korat Kiwi replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
And who's brown envelope did the 'fine' go into? 🤔 -
Yep. I find Flash Express the worst of those I use. Don't turn up and say they do. No phone call. Kerry are a bit unpredictable and don't always call. Lazada have been quite good. I seem to have the same driver now and he knows that once I get the txt saying he will be arriving within the hour, that I'll be waiting within eyesight of the gate. Damn good fellah actually.

Ready-to-Drink Fresh Milk Prices Approved to Increase
Korat Kiwi replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
The raw product was from NZ, however 'additives' were used in China to 'boost' the product to be used as child/infant formula. This was done without the parent companys' (Fronterra) notification. Some think it was a ploy/scam by an opposition corporation to undermine Fonterras reputation. It did cause a drop in market shares.... -
There are some decent Soundbar out there. Try and get one with a seperate subwoofer. Most subs nowadays are BT so you don't need to wire them in.... And you can adjust them so you don't sound like the local hoon with his duff duff boom box. I have a Polk Audio set up back in NZ and it was/is fantastic. My Yamaha stereo rarely got used as a result. I don't think 1500 baht will get you much unfortunately.

Blooming heck... 20 metres of rain is quite a downpour. Did you see Noah preparing his boat? It could be a sign? Just joking, obviously a 20 minute downpour. -

Geezus, I'm a bloody kiwi and haven't twigged onto this yet! Best I get me some pronto. I've been buying the All Season pasteurised milk in the 2 litre round plastic container. At 93 baht it's quite good. In NZ you pay anywhere from 67 to 100 baht. -
Thailand teenager’s tragic stabbing leads to police pursuit
Korat Kiwi replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
Little bastards! -
Some how methinks the Chinese may have already done a survey of the wreck. It was over a year ago and unless the put some proximity sensors around the wreck to keep tabs on visitors... Who's to say who has or hasn't already visited the site. It's a while to be sitting in the brine. Doubt much in the way of bodies will be remaining. Hopefully they will be able to salvage something.

Air quality in most of the country to improve for a week
Korat Kiwi replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
For your information, that's what I did. Moved from Chiang Mai and now reside in Korat. It's a bit warmer and the smoke isn't as bad. But for those that can't move, my point stands. -

Love the headline: Air Quality in most of the Country to improve for a week. And then what? Back to crap? Oh that's right, we'll just have to suck it up.
