Decathlon conveniently DESTROYS all returned items the same day u return them (WHY????)

Right it is their stupid policy causing problems, not you failing to clean out the pack before returning it.  It is a pain in the <deleted> all these people around blowing it.

I've tried contacting them and they say go through the application process first which includes many paid steps. Seems strange. And acquaintances who send their children there just smirk when I ask how much it costs. Its like a huge secret. 

When I wear a shirt with buttons, long pants and socks people I talk with magically share so much more information.

They make it impossible to find out without paying for assessments and being accepted first!

Impossible.

You do it or make trouble with your landlord and for yourself. Yes within 24.

i had a terrible experience at Icare airport plaza today.  they would not accept my MacBook pro even after i had the repair authorized by Apple  U.S.  they do not speak good English to the point  fact  a senior advisor in the States had to intervene.  i asked them to please contact my advisor in the States if they had any questions.  they would not do this.  i also contacted Apple care in Australia and they tried to contact the airport plaza icare location.  i was told that they have not been able to find somewhere that can speak English.  may have to send the computer to Apple in the States for repair.. my advice do not purchase an Apple product in Thailand since you will be at the mercy of Apple care Thailand.

Singapore is where they send Apple stuff for repair from CM.  Have your US advisor arrange Singapore repair.

Find gates you like.

Ask owner for info, name of company and phone is probably on a sticker attached to gate motor cover.

If no dogs you might just reach in with phone in hand and photo the sticker.

Girlfriend is from an ethnic Karen hill tribe in Myanmar, and she says without a doubt 100% Akha, and worn by all members of the different clans.  Price wise she said they would go for between 20K Thb or 30K Thb depending on the colors and how intricate they are.  A full head dress, with neckwear and then the dress could go for around 45K Thb to 60K Thb if original and handmade.

There are trains and busses leaving at night going South that stop in Lamphun.  Check at train and bus stations.

Never been in a Blue Book tabien baan.  Thought it was for Thais only.

Well it could depend on where back home is.  The west ????

What isn’t true? 
 

The opticians in my city which others on this forum suggest is the best (which isn’t CNX) is run by an optical specialst from the local university hospital. They will do an eye test but they won’t allow you to take the prescription away, the frames and lenses must be bought from the clinic. Seems a bit weird, because I would rather pay for a decent test by a trained medical professional than by some eye candy at top chareon. 

 

Just post your opticians and I will be sure not to visit, because not only did you misread my post, but you also missed the OP where he mentions the vision centre at Thapae. ????  So this is not the only place where this is practiced. 

 

“dump my misinformation for free” - you need to calm yourself down fella.

Jibberish.

Your first post said “the city” now you say it is not Chiang Mai.

You also said “the best opticians” but not say you were talking about one optician.

People read your writing not your mind.

Regarding ITIN:  I have a will for all my U.S. assets. They will go into probate, stocks and bonds will be liquidated, taxes paid, and the remainder will be transferred to my partner's Thai bank account. Probate closed.

 

Usually people can avoid the big costs and delays of probate by setting up a revocable trust.  Having a non citizen non resident alien spouse complicates it but not too much.

We were buying beans from Akha Ama at the Santhitham area shop. 
 

Does Hillkoff still have a shop on Chang Phuek?

Just off the Main Street.

Good looking palm.
 

What insecticide do you use to keep the beetles off those?  I’ve lost a few to beetles boring into the emerging leaves.

From train station 30 meters before Ping River light on left is a large ag shop.  Not sure they have the mix you want.  Not much choice 10+ years ago and we used 15-15-15.

Another was about 40 meters north of the Thai Airlines office same side but they may have relocated.

Is the hologram fuzzy at the edges again ?  Was there something in the tap water Sunday ... if so, where can I get more of it ?

Call them and ask again.  Does the same person answer?
