Alibaba recently purchase a controlling interest in Lazada.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-12/alibaba-to-pay-1-billion-for-control-of-lazada-e-commerce-site

Ok!!! I don't readed it before. But this explain that we can find more and more chinese products at almost same price like aliexpress.com on Lazada!!! Some real cheaper!!! And that Tesco is now on Lazada too.

I have read today online about other peoples experiences with Alibaba. They all say that it is hit and miss. If you can find a quality dealer with quality products then you are aces. If not you may as well spend the money on cheap Lao Khao and wake up with less of a head ache.

same as with lazada.

That is why one should only buy from lazada if you can see it is "sold and fulfilled by lazada" and not "sold and fulfilled by your neighbors poodle".

and maybe Tesco, they sell a lot on lazada too

As I understand they recently became one in the same, but I can't remember who bought who.

No one bought someone. Completly different groups.

Alibaba.com is a chinese Investment group

Lazada is a german Investment Group. Rocket Internet!!! On the european market they ran Zalando and destroy all small shops.

Again .....!!! What is the true? What the lady told? Or was it self defense? I don't know!!!

But I know that the most Thais let run their dogs in front of their homes, on the public road, and give a shit of it that their dogs try to bite people walking or driving the road.

But it's all the time better to shot a video of the hunting dog and call the police as to kick the dog. The most dogs are so scare that if you go down for pick up a stone they run away. You don't must throw it to they.

Alibaba.com is full with scammers. Never buy something direct from the sellers and never pay direct to they.
The best way is to fly there, buy it, check that everything right and give it to a shipping agent. Or use a trusted shipping agent from alibaba. For the payment only use Alipay.

China and Thailand have a FreeTrade Agreement, BUT you need the Form E from the seller, stamped and signed from chinese Government. Without it you pay the normal tax.

Not forget that also Vat come on top of all.

What we learned about it? For sure the most NOTHING!!!

But some will wait that the condominium building is build already before they buy something.

Don't trust someone in this country. Not a Thai and 100% not a Farang!!!

Why do you even bother to live here if you cannot trust a single person in this country.

Did I have to trust someone to have a good life here? No!!!

I live my life and enjoy it!!! That's all!!! And that I think like this, is based on my personal experience.

What we learned about it? For sure the most NOTHING!!!

Don't trust someone in this country. Not a Thai and 100% not a Farang!!!

Why is his face blurred? Wasn't he caught "flagrante delicto"?

Him is a ASIAN not a FARANG!!!! Farangs can't lost the face so they can show it!!!

the most pawn shops will give you only 30-35% of the actual worth. Watches are not a burner in pawn shops, so the most shops reject it.

If you sale it in EU or US on Ebay or other markets you will become a much more better price.

Any idea where to buy a basic smoker or small kettle bbq will do the job?

Sometimes Richard have some on auction at collingbourne pattaya. Look at his Facebook site https://www.facebook.com/INTHEJUNGLESHOP/

I never saw the original in supermarkets here. Only the copy one "Real Sriracha"!!!

But maybe you can find a alternative. Here is a interesting Sriracha sauce test: http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/06/taste-test-the-best-sriracha.html

Maybe it comes from all this whitening cremes and pills??? 555

When I see the dirty Pattaya water I understand why everything die!

Nothing you can do about it, if you think they are charging you more walk away, their loss at the end of the day

I don't even bother saying anything if I think I am being dual charged, just walk off, I remember a incident years ago where a brush salesman came outside my house whilst I was in the garden, I asked him how much for a brush, he said 100 Baht, (30-40 in the Shopping Mall) I didn't say a word to him and walked in the house, when I came out 10 minutes later he was still stood there

There are things I have seen on the markets that I would like to buy but never do, I really can't be bothered with all the haggling, I just shop at places where the price is clearly shown

As for hairdressers the one I go to charges me the price shown in Thai on the list,

I really don't class it as racism, Thais try to rip each other off as much as they do Farangs

I agree with you - it is most certainly NOT racialism, it is simple grees. Unfortunately it is common not only in Thailand, but in most other tourists centres. Take Manhattan main Stree - 6th Ave.- with all the tourists stores, where the prices are 3 to 4 fold of the normal prices. Here in Thailand, each Farang is considered a tourist and hence the

situation, which looks like racism.

Agree with you, its not racism ! Its trying to earn more money as they can, from tourism... Its all over Europe, i got stung 15 euros for a shot of espresso in Rome, tourist price !! Visited a food stall in Egypt, alone, then with a friend, paid less than half the second visit.. Life as tourist.. A mate was conned in London as well......

And how much the italians pay? Same price? So it's not racism it's only a expensive place!!!

But some people are to stupid to see a different!!!

It happens all over the place. I was stopped on 3 different occasions while visiting.Yes I was driving without a local or international licence but each time I simply made a call to my mate who was in charge of traffic police and immediately am saluted and waved through?????.

And a police escort open the way for you, right???

But I believe that no one teached the police how to search on internet otherwise you can't find guns easy like this:

No.1 offense of the Taxi driver is. Orathai should have been handled orally not physically!

I am sure she want love it!!!! 555

I use this online form and get a respone with SMS and later a call: http://tel1177.tot.co.th/new_sr.php?lang=en

They should withdraw the money out of the account. Soon the account will be frozen

And done a crime. Because death people can't take out money!!! Don't forget the nice CCTV!!!

Where are the CCTV evidence???

KABOOM!!

Do you find it funny that 6 people died?

I am speakless!!!

We pay 300 THB for draining the septic tank outside Pattaya. But my wife order all the time this team over the local amphur and ask the price before on phone.

Never order a company and let they work before you fixed the price!!!

Your point 3. Is it true that you are ALLOWED to ride again same day if you've been fined earlier?

Yes, and you don't need a helmet!!! Just show your ticket if you were stopped again.

I'd like to congratulate the Governor.

After recently spending a few days R&R in Kata I was disappointed and embarrassed to see the generally low standard of foreigner behavior.

Walking through markets and riding bikes in bikinis or budgie-smugglers. Yuk. When walking head on to a Thai expecting the Thai to move aside.

Helmetless on bikes and feeling they had the right to proceed while Thais were waiting at stopped traffic.

Demanding first service in front of others.

Refusing to respond to a greeting from our Thai hosts.

Arguing every bill.

Not a very appropriate way for a guest to behave.

Thais get away with some things that we don't. That's the way it is.

But the most of this will never happen if:

1. You can rent a motorbike/car only with a valid international/Thai driving license. Like in the most countries!!!

2. Rasing up the fine for driving without helmet, on pedestrian, phoning, ... on minimum 2.000 THB.

3. Who drive again without helmet on the same day get his motorbike confiscated for one week.

4. Driving drunken on stop arrested and minimum 1 month prison.

5. .....

I am sure that this want help a lot about traffic death rate, accidents, ...

Firstly it’s important to categorize the deaths of foreigners based on the circumstances before any action is taken.

They never done it before in the last 20 years? And him never done it in the last 7 month ... after "This matter always comes up in consulate meetings."???

YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT POSITION MAN!!!
