  1. I have used them quite extensively over last couple of years with few problems. Most deliveries between 10 to 14 days upcountry. There is no indication, unlike Lazada or Shopee as to from where in China its being sent from so time can vary. Like any of these sites it is essential to always read the reviews of a shop/product before buying. Customs clearance is handled on the way. I have had to pay customs duty on only 2 out of 15 identical items over time, and that was when the orders final leg was by Thai post which was paid at local post office. One trick to be wary of that caught me was because one time I didnt check reviews. I ordered goods from a store that in hindsight they didnt have in stock and needed to be brought in. The trick iis they order the carrier to pick up the non existing parcel which makes it a failed pick up on the logistics side. Now you know there is a problem as time goes by because still not picked up, but you cant cancel the order and start the refund process until a certain time period has passed (2 weeks I think) . In the meantime the store is hoping to get your order in and forward it before the time period ends thus leading to delays on your end. Another problem I have had is with payments. Sometimes you need to clear all cookies before making payment otherwise a failure due to some security reason. Separate to that I have had problems with using a Thai SCB debit card whereas my Aussie debit card goes through every time. With the SCB card very 2 or 3 orders (every 2 or 3 weeks) they want to verify my the card with statements, ID etc causing a delay of a day or 2. This verification never happens with my Aussie card except when first using a new card replacing an expired one. All in all I have no hesitation in using Aliexpress.
  2. Why investigate? We already know the results. But if the real results were acted on, the country would fall into anarchy because there wouldnt be anyone to police it!
  3. Why didnt the Aussie just holla "break failure"!? Seems to work every time for Thais?
  4. Ya baa? I thought we had to blame everything on cannabis now? lol!
  5. Yes Sir Les, I agree, The peoples votes may have been cast and counted but the big decision will come from elsewhere. Early days still.
  6. You send your dummy on flights and holidays? Oh no no no! My sex doll stays in the bedroom where she belongs irregardless what she says.
  7. Yes its a perfect example of modern thai culture. I live in a very small village and yet we have something like 7 temples. Its 3 times as many as the population requires. And they forever have their hands out for some improvement of some kind. They are nothing like the temples you talk of but still too much for a poor village. They could knock them all down and build two big ones to well and truly accupy all the worshippers and more but then there would be no competition for whose got the biggest statue or meeting hall etc. They cant even follow the most basic of Buddhist principles.
  8. How does a monk, who are supposed to live austere lives, come up with 200,000 baht?
  9. Hmm I like what he says but its early days yet.
  10. Sadly you need to have pics of tour boats dropping anchor straight onto coral or fishing boats throwing plastic waste overboard posted on social media before any action is taken. Shove it in our faces for everyone to see or it didnt happen.
  11. First I would visit your local traffic office to ask what they require. Some offices, especially in Isaan dont recognise the yellow book.
  12. Where does this rubbish come from John Wayne? Can we use Afghanistan, Vietnam etc as a good example here. You have to win a war for that to work. I know, yes you did win against Panama, but China is a lot bigger than Panama, look on a map. LMFAO!
  13. I have been living here in Thailand for over 20 years. Prior to that I was a frequent visitor coming 2 or 3 times a year for 15 years. I have family back in Oz including a daughter. Over that 35 odd years I have used Thai post quite a bit, especially when my daughter was younger to send her clothes toys etc. I also found it easier and cheaper to post stuff back to OZ rather than carry it on my travels. Only ONCE in those 35 years have I lost a thing.....one parcel sent to Oz never made it. Lost here or there who knows. Incidently I always used the cheapest post as in no hurry to have it delivered so long as it gets there and it almost always has.
  14. There are also a great many doctors who are concerned about the road toll but dont hesitate to give you a health cert for driving licence without even seeing you lol! Money speaks the loudest in Thailand and will do for the cannabis crew (unless the alcohol lobby get busy with it)
  15. To report that the US has interfered in another country's politics is certainly nothing new, never has been and never will be, but nothing in this report sounds right??
  16. That is disgusting! I wonder how much influence US$14 billion gets you (influence in this case sounds so diluted and weak, maybe force is better)?
