  1. At what point did you make the big mistake of telling your bank that you had an address outside the UK? How long ago was it? This information will be useful to me and others. For example, I tell my UK bank nothing, especially my address.
  2. Is it time to increase the prices by another 100%....again?
  3. Thailand is on a list maintained by the Chinese government - it's not a good list. There's some very weird stuff happening over the last few months : It's not clear if this is nationwide or just in a handful of places...... "Local police stations are carrying out strict review processes for people leaving China, particularly if they're going to Thailand, Cambodia or other Southeast Asian countries," Read this : https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/travel-restrictions-02202023160935.html
  4. I'm still wondering exactly what this is and what it would be used for? Will the post office be printing the mail on behalf of the customer and physically delivering it? Edit: It appears to be some kind of email system.
  5. Perhaps they should openly court Chinese or Russian alternatives if they really think they need them.
  6. Yes, makes you wonder why they want it doesn't it?
  7. China owns all the pandas and they use them like they use any other resource they control, tourism for example. They will extract as much as possible from the government before they send a new panda.
  8. If the truth about Thailand was universally known then almost nobody would come.
  9. So he won't be ready for transfer until his bill is paid - is that a medical opinion and which doctor made this determination? They won't let him fly without medical permission...... I'll summarise : We ain't letting him go until you pay every baht. He's being held hostage.
  10. How will this be possible with Thailand on 'the list'?
  11. Now this story makes more sense, the Koreans were onto him from their end.
  12. Indeed, one way to avoid any nonsense like this is to not even look at the prices as you shop. Just load up as you walk around and pay the total when you check out. The reciept will no doubt be in Thai so you will never know how much each individual item costs and so long as you don't spend more than you can afford - does it really matter how much individual items cost ? ????
  13. Nothing to do with El Nino then? https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40027509
  14. Aren't they all, as in every single one of them?
  15. We've weighed stuff when at home on occasion and found very big differences. Around these parts there's a couple of shops and a durian seller up to no good, they think they're getting away with it but the reality is - everyone knows they do it and that's why they have no customers from the locals.
  16. Arrested for posession/use but suspected to be an international kingpin because of what? Some hunch by a random cop? Sounds like they've got him for a low level charge and want to make him out to be some kind of bigshot. I smell BS
  17. In the UK they were doing blood tests every 3 months I believe. As for gel vs tablets, I guess the tablets are more effective than topical gels but that's what was prescribed by the Doctor and I'm sure there was a good reason to do so.
  18. Will they be banning the sale of alcohol nationally just in case?
  19. Yep, I'm pretty sure they are. The error never works out in the customers favour.
  20. Yes, she was on the tablets for many months before the kidney issues showed up on a routine blood test. So it is something you can monitor over time with regular basic blood tests - a lot of people will have no problems at all so it's not something I would avoid - but I would be cautious and monitor kidney / liver function more often should I ever need it myself.
  21. It's not, and they borrow against the property but in their mind this big pay day is still coming, when in reality all they face is reposession - that's the bit where they end up with nothing.
  22. Ok, here's something much more useful but I didn't mention it before just in case it put you off, however I would want to be useful. Kidney damage from taking Diclofenac, not in me personally but my mother. It mostly reversed after she discontinued it so she now 'only' has stage 3 kidney failure. Good luck
  23. There's a long list of side effects but isn't there always.
