That's just a "not having to pay p front advantage", you claimed there were serious other advantages.

Lazada accepted my order and charged my card immediately.

After the expected delivery date passed, I msg the seller and found the product was out of stock.

Lazada eventually canceled the order.

Lazada says they will refund the charge in 15 to 30 business days.

Charged instantly. Refund in up to A MONTH AND A HALF! 

I like not having to wait for the delivery guy but I see why some say only use COD. 

I can't figure why so many helmets are black. 

To keep your head warm?  So you won't be seen at night?

Paddock are on Lazada, and currently have O'Neil helmets on sale.  Happy with my O'Neil Sierra after a year of use.  It's a Falang shape 'oval' rather than the Asian round head shape.

Looks good. I'll give it a try tho I've never had an off road helmet. Otherwise ticks the boxes.

Thanks. I've bought several items from them including my current helmet years ago. Now nothing available. 

Looking for good quality XXL full face.  On Lazada every one I looked at shows XXL sold out.

No luck in Chiang Mai shops, either. 

Thanks.

been looking at implants and i'm not sold on those either. 

I have had six implants done here with no problems over the 10 or so years. 

One required sinus lift and bone graft for two adjacent molars. Excellent results. 

I had 2 ASUS just bought an ACER from JBL

ASUS, ACER, LENOVA, etc......

Any real difference for the casual user?

Stop.

I have explained the term "retirement visa" means and conveys zero information for replies in forum.

You are just being ...

 

If someone requires information often the main thing is current status in Thailand.

Be that extensions or visa or whatever.

"Retirement Visa" means nothing

You are quite right. More specific info is required in order to be helpful to someone with their retirement visa. 

I was responding to the smug pedantic few who claim there is no "retirement visa". There are several such visas.

I'm not confused.

 

In the visa forums "Retirement Visa" conveys nothing.

 

Could be a Non O-A

Or Non O based on retirement

Could mean Extensions to either of those 2 visas.

Or ME non O retirement.

 

All different.

So there is no such thing as a Retirement Visa except in its several forms. 

I guess I was confused.

Please tell the immigration offices, embassy, etc to remove  "Retirement" from their signs, links, etc to avoid confusion.

Also, I will never pay for Nooky, because this is not interesting to me.

Ever heard of the GFE (girl friend experience)?  It happens often in LOS.
You have denied yourself some wonderful times.

(Pattaya) agents they asked told them they would only help if they use the 800K in the bank method.

Whether they have the 800K in the bank or not.

Not if your IO allows the Combination Method, which mine does @ 40k per month = 480k plus a sum in the bank to bring it up to 800k.

What imm office, please?

Why leave $23k sitting in a Thai account when I can fly myself and the girlfriend to Vegas with a Caribbean stopover on the way back.

Yep you can redirect a lot of money by not complying with the law. 

^^ What he said. But I didn't go to consulate. I found the instructions clear enough for my case. And I sent it EMS to Embassy in BKK.  No problem at all.

Not wise to keep your fob under the seat

No intention of doing that but <deleted> happens. 

My click is a 160.  If some fool locks the remote under the seat, will it still function. I'm afraid to fiddle around and find out. 

Thanks. 

Yeah, they shoulda, coulda, I woulda. 

Thank you all for the helpful replies. 

I am surprised and very pleased for such response from this group.
