The last time I was at the Canadian Embassy in BKK using the lift to leave a 30 ish looking guy got in at the same time. After a brief "hi there" he proceeded to ask me if I could spare and money to give him.It was a long few minutes for both of us on the ride down. I was taken aback as I'd never had this happen to me before inside an Embassy. I felt really bad for not donating to his cause (for about 5 seconds)

The answer to the question may be...have female children and hopefully they will hook up with a foreigner to help things along.When I lived in Issarn I saw several examples of this very thing. I also saw in the middle of nowhere more than a few quite modern 2 story houses looking newer but no one living there.I asked my wife about these and the standard reply was "lady married to farang" and they live in Hua Hin/Phuket etc. The foreigner didn't want to live there. In one driveway I saw a newer pick up truck...oh thats for the ladies mom but she don't know how to drive...hmmm mugs game

I follow the same guide as you.I've been ordering from both for a few years now and only been stung once.I've given up on traipsing around the big box stores for half an hour or more of time wasting. I use due diligence and often compare the 2 co's. If by chance an item is out of stock I always receive a refund.I never buy bigger items(TV,washer,ac units etc) online though.For that I try to use local shops in case of problems.

Are Old Thai notes collectors items?
jaideedave replied to bignok's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Funny that..I have some also that I bought over 30 years ago at an outdoor market in Chonburi. Some 1,5,10 and 20 baht notes.Rama 9 looks very young in these. I've given them to my wife because if I took them to a dealer I can only assume that I would get the short end of any deal. -
The demise of the village ATM.
jaideedave replied to Crossy's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Absolutely correct.All western countries want this.Its all about control.No other reason. A couple years ago during the truckers peaceful protest in Ottawa Canada the gov't froze all their bank accounts.No discussion either.The banks complied easily.A very dystopian act. Track&Trace every monetary move you make.NWO/WEF Klaus Schwab and his gang at work.Please be aware of whats around the corner if/when cash is gone. -
Yes I very nearly did the same.I almost ordered an a/c unit from Lazada then thought better of it.We bought one from a local shop.If it f____ up we go see them not Lazada

My sentiments exactly.Money well spent. I haven't been in an immigration office in years.They like the arrangement and so do I. -

Bangkok Launches Campaign to Combat High Diabetes Risk
jaideedave replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Part of the Thais diet includes sticky rice. That is very high on the glycemic index if you can even find it there. A lot of people fall asleep or get drowsy after consuming this. (sugar spike) A senior lady next door to us in our Issarn neighborhood has to get dialysis treatment 3 times a week.Her family hasn't connected the dots as she eats this stuff several times a day.Why don't the Drs give advice about this? Please correct me if I'm mistaken. -
Paramedic Team Caught on Video Stealing from Accident Victim's vehicle
jaideedave replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
A few years ago in Pattaya the rescue team attended a deceased farangs condo and in the pics you could plainly see a box of Leo cans. Pan over to them loading the corpse into the back of the truck and "voila" there was the box of Leo. Humorous I suppose as he won't need it. -
My stepdaughter falls into that category I think. Years ago I put her thru TCC uni in BKK to get a degree in accounting.Which she did. For what it cost me I could have bought her a 7-11 franchise.Her allowance was 15k per month 13 years ago.I covered tuition. Her monthly salary today is just under 15k/month at King Power. wtf? Thats probably why most Thais want to open their own business. She says she'd like to open a coffee shop. I think she'll have to wait for her inheritance for that one.

In days gone by I would run around looking for various items often unsuccessfully due to language barriers and no stock.Since CV 19 I find myself using Lazada/Shopee more often than not. I have bought replacement remotes for my Mitsubishi ac before no problem.

Thank you sir for exposing all these climate zealot experts.They've been predicting false disasters for 50 years already.I'm sick of hearing from the doom and gloom brigade.Al Gore went from a nobody ex politition to a muti millionaire climate expert.Phony as a $3 bill along with the retarded Greta "how dare you" what a crock of <deleted>.

Pouting land seller
jaideedave replied to NorthernRyland's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Same happened to me years ago buying an HD from a shop in BKK.They told me the price.I decided I wanted it and offered them 10K less...they looked amazed that I had the nerve to even ask me such a question. I bought it at full asking price but they did some mods for free and shipped it to Pattaya for me.TIT
