She sure has a lot of plastic surgery kind of disgusting.

I don't see anything in the post to indicate plastic surgery?

Just got mine, but I think I bought the last Tasty, all that's left is Vintage (about 100 left at 11:30am).

Think the offer allows 1+1 on Vintage (reading my receipt), and for some reason 4bht off each pack as well, so 4x cheese for a total of 542bht.

May be forced to freeze a couple more vintage!

• World Chemicals: World Chemicals is a company that imports and distributes various chemicals, including Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO), in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Maybe they are out of stock but I suppose you could ask at the shop perhaps?

You know sometimes-never mind!

I couldn't find an entity in Thailand willing to basically launder their money. I'm sure there are ways, but neither I nor the buyers were able to find one.

They are Chinese! I personally know of three who have done exactly that, but yes, grey turning to black and much like the use of companies to purchase property here.

I had Chinese buyers interested in my house when I was selling a few years ago. But getting money out of China was almost impossible. I had contacts in Dubai and Hong Kong. Even for them, it was an extremely dodgy affair and neither would touch it.

They don't have to take their money out of China, simply do a deal with an entity in China they give them the Yuan ad the Thai end give them the baht.

I've just finished watching season 1 of Ellis, which was recommended by one of my mates, and it was good IMHO. It's on TGx.

Worth a look.

Excellent!

Flick it out and they're gone.

Oh, the baton you mean!

World Chemicals Mahidol road.

Peter Vella house white in the nice plastic bag 1.5 litres currently 459 baht in Makro.

Drink very cold and it suits my palate, not for all. Have had many expensive wines in my time and the generally the comment I would tend to make would be about the excessive cost not the taste.

Thank goodness we have a choice

Yorkshire definitely my favourite, also like their their biscuit tea as a change.

In Chiang Mai and recently ordered from Greens

We don't go where there is dual pricing. that said we often have visitors from overseas.

We tell them why we don't go but leave the decision up to them.

I guess on average half take our view the others are quite happy to pay to see particular attractions.

Here it's discounted for some time already, but not  buy 1 get 1 free. I think it's 189 for one.

It’s the Aro that was 189 and I was also confused .

Bought two lots of Mainland Vintage & Tasty this morning which is a good deal

Was there on Saturday. The shop was closed and there was for rent sign on the door.

Rarely had much stock but it was the right stuff for some elderly expatiates!

Any other info?

At Greens yesterday or at least where they used to be . Shop was closed and a sign that the place was for rent!

Seems many are missing the irony here of a musk platform admitting to outright lies and misinformation on a musk platform.

Exactly!

Yeah so, what’s your point? X is a public forum for people to discuss as they please. It’s not a nor does it claim to be a new journalistic agency where folks can find the truth, that doesn’t even exist. If you want the facts, then understand history and make a deduction of current events.

Perhaps I should ask Grok?

Same as Facebook in the previous election shilling for the Dems.

 

And Trump didn't need the surprise 14m votes, that appeared in just one election.

How did we survive before smartphones and social media!
