Local whispers say that there is a good probability that the U Tapau circuit could become a reality, the government/navy already own all the land south of Sukhumvit from Ban Chang to Kilo Sip, with the upgrades coming to the airport, the 7 motorway, high speed railway etc. We can hope!

You say you understand shipping costs and tax, but i doubt you understand just how expensive shipping has become, In the last two years shipping costs have quadrupled, and that is about to get worse unfortunately. Massive taxes on imported goods, then you also have FDA charges, Transport and local distribution charges, then the end retailer needs to make a profit. So what does a kilo of Thai rice cost in Australia?

25 years ago at the Thai shop in Aberdeen, a single Thai Mango was around 5 Pounds, a 5 baht pack of Mama noodles was 50p, so an awful lot more of a mark up than the OP is questioning!

The gravy train has to keep on rollin!!

The only clean up needed is to demolish it, anything else is just a band aid!

If you have the insurance and the blue book, just take that to one of the offices with the blue and yellow sign, pay and get your book and new tax back in about 2 days, i just did mine last week, so simple and quick both days.

Tourists in Makro!!

Two pissed Bogans trying and failing to slap each other....oh yeah violent brawl!!

When it was first posted back in June it was clear to see it was a bird, it was a bird and still is a bird,

Again driver not adapting to the road conditions!!

What?

No!, with the lights being clearly green and 1 pick up going through before the impact, the unlucky truckie was definitely a red gambler, damn so much time passed he had no intentions of stopping!

Exactly, if the motorbike had hit the pick-up the motorbike would have been wrong.

But this one is not really a T junction as such, Tungklom Talman road goes all the way from Sukhumvit to Huay Yai road, Just because the road has a 90 degree right turn some people mistake it as a junction, the small road joining from the left has a clear solid white line to stop at, but because it joins Tungklom Talman road at the 90 Deg bend many people mistakenly believe it is a T junction. It has been like that for years and there has been many accidents there.

It is not a good junction, many people dont realise that vehichles travelling along Tungklom Talman have right of way when turning right there, the road approaching from the left has a solid white line meaning vehicles (ie: the motorcycle) should stop there.

Exactly, seen this many times in Thailand and that is indeed the answer - not my job!!!

Leave your ignition on the gauge will rise, no need to wait till you start your engine!

When they first appeared a couple of years ago FB would not take them down, they do now though, just got another one taken down in record time this morning.

The EV brigade are like the Vegans of the motoring world, always forcing their opinions on others whether asked or not!!

No it is not, the canned draught comes from UK, Malaysia do brew Guinness but it is called Foreign extra and not imported to Thailand.

Its the cost of shipping mainly, like any other imported goods, and tax, duty and distribution costs as well.

The Expat shop in Ban Chang has it as well, 189/can or 3960 for a case of 24.

Unfortunately this will be true!!

Absolute disaster for Thailand, gambling and domestic debt is a huge problem already, this will have a disastrous effect on Thai society.
