    Just a question.

     

    When I am withdrawing in THB from a USD account based in Cambodia, in Thailand, it has now started asking me if I want with the bank's conversion or without conversion.

     

    I have been pressing ' without conversion ' as I felt the bank would be giving a poorer rate, am I right or wrong to do this?

     

    And next question is, regardless of credit card I am using, AN members are saying ALWAYS opt to pay in the local currency, is that correct?

    Yesx2

    but it seems impossible nowadays to find a restaurant that doesn't have singers or too loud music. It seems to be impossible to eat in a quiet place. 

    Not at all impossible,  actually easy to find quiet restaurants.  You must have some unique issues.

  3. Warranty is just another part of the package like chrome door handles or window defroster.  They package the parts based on what they the customers want and will pay for.  They do not think longer warranties are good in the Thai market so do not include them.  A change of mind and an increase in cost and they could be included.

     

    Longer warranty higher cost.

    And/or regularly brings from abroad large supplies of basic foodstuffs all available at many outlets in LOS. Often same bad or equivalent quality local manufacture.

     

    Seen this many times. Recall one farang wife who brought massive supplies of very size of ziplock bags from the US. And a Brit guy who brought suitcases of meat pies in cans from the UK. 

    Not Dean,  he brings stuff like 110 volt tools and riding mowers.
