  1. Good topic. Can someone tell please inform me where I can get a decent burger in CM. thanks

    absolutely. ask dave from Dukes. He wrote a review that will put you on the right path

    But there's Dukes and Dukes and Dukes or Dukes, which is why I don't go to any Dukes anymore.

  2. "I will not ban water throwing, that's impossible," Prayuth Chan-ocha, the prime minister, said in response to a proposal for government controls on holiday water use. He added dismissively, "Parents should teach their children to use less water and not splash it around for three days and three nights."

    1. I am weak.

    2. I didn't think ahead/or I just didn't think.

    3. Mods, please don't ban me. wai.gif

  3. Who? I have a vague recollection of someone... Didn't my vague recollection have a brother or sister that did something? I have distant memories of people wearing coloured shirts or something....

    The junta has the perfect weapon: time.Thais (like most people, especially kids) get easily bored and forgetful unless they are constantly stimulated which is the agenda. OK, perhaps they haven't considered the resurrection of the "Shirts" before, during or after the next election, if there is one, But it seems they are either boring people into forgetting what colour shirt they are or making people not care. I live in staunch red shirt country, but i haven't seen anyone wearing a Taksin shirt, hanging Taksin posters outside their house or spoken to any opinionated person for over six months.

  4. Does anyone know if you need to show funds or proof of income for the multiple O? Thanks.

    Not if you are applying in Savannakhet. You should note that no financial proof was mentioned anywhere in this topic.

    Thanks Joe, when you say not at Savannakhet, are you saying you have to show funds at other Thai consulates?

    At some yes.

    At least 100k baht in the bank or proof of income is needed to apply at Penang which is the only other nearby location that will do the multiple entry non-o.

    Very useful information. Thank you.

  5. I would be very interested in the chicken tikka massala.

    If you want good curry try this company: igkcm.com

    Fantastic frozen curries and side dishes, large portions and very good value for money. Minimum order for free delivery is B250.

  6. America's gift to the world.

    I don't think that's really fair.

    Look at the modern Thai food people eat as well. That's most likely the much bigger factor.

    Have you been to America? I went in 1991 and I was shocked at how much they ate and what they ate. Lazy Britain today is catching up fast though. When I first came to Thailand fifteen years ago, you could spit for luck when you saw a chubby kid. Now they're everywhere. Thai junk food or western junk food? Maybe Thai junk food inspired by western junk food. Where did global franchise junk food originate? It's addictive. It's a fix. It gets you high. Why do you think obese people don't have a problem when they look in the mirror. Add that to the little emperor syndrome that's so prevalent and what do you get?

  7. Lazada is unreliable. I am in the process of claiming 12kbaht (through paypal)for non delivery of an item,and Lazada are washing their hands of it because item sold by a "third party".

    I am in the process of suing them for advertising, handling and supplying counterfeit goods, as is the manufacturing company that confirmed the item to be fake.

  8. Postal items entering Thailand with a value less than B1,000 are not taxed by customs. When I order anything from overseas I ask the seller to mark the item at $20 and a gift. Once I had a package delivered marked as above and the postman said there was customs duty to pay (showed me the paperwork from customs. He wasn't trying it on.) I told him to return the item back to the sender at the cost of customs because I refuse to pay duty. Two days later the postman returned with the package and no duty. The post office had contacted customs to inform them the package was rejected. They then realized they would be out of pocket and folded. If you marked your value as being over B1,000 then you've had it i'm afraid.
