Where in Bangkok are you?

 

I use Southeast Pharmacy, telephone call, direct bank transfer, they arrange a motorbike courier which you pay for extra on delivery (150 baht I think I paid recently).

They're on GrabMart too but not sure about the selection there?

 

 

 

I totally agree. As a bonus Southeast Pharmacy sells at wholesale prices.

Popped up to Krung Thep the other day, and yep ... way too tourist ????

 

Silom area & lower Suk & Nana soi 4 was packed, as was the the BTS, non-ish rush hour as were the walkways, T21.   

 

You probably wouldn't make the 1st or 2nd BTS train @ Asok.   Actually better than pre-covid, when you couldn't even get pass the turnstiles at rush hour.   Faster to actually walk if going only 1 or 2 stations, along with no need to climb up the steps.

 

No way could I live anywhere close to 'downtown'.  We were only there for convenience, as usually stay on W side of river.  TBH ... couldn't wait to leave.   

If you wish to avoid tourists, don't go the the main tourist areas og Bangkok!

If business is as uaual, the only thing that is keeping MF to get the PM, is the size of the brown envelopes distributed to the senators.

Many new pockets to be filled after the election.

So when will the Election Commission ban the Pheu Thai party from the upcoming election??

What is her company worth???

GoAir - Go First - Go Fund me Airlines.

Maybe it's more likely that he had tried to replace his Schizophrenia medicine with Marihuana. Lunatics doesnt always act rationally.

I noticed in the video, that the bib used a win rider as a battering ram.

The beach chair vendors are already placing large orders for millions of new beach chairs!

It is already getting harder and harder to find small undeveloped placed for people, who are not happy to spend their holidays together with unmannered mass-tourists.

"4 operations later the the insurance money has run out and there are a further 2 options required, one of which will be tomorrow"

To be able to pay such unexpected costs, is exactly why expats are required to show 400,000 or 800,000 Baht in the bank, when extending their visa's. 

The Motorbike rental shops should held responsible and punished, every time they rent out a motorbike without checking, that the renter has the correct permit to drive the vehicle in Thailand. 

This Law is insane, but any Thai citizen knows, that alcohol advertising is currently illegal.  A review for beer should be considered advertisement, or else we would be drowning in advertisements for alcoholic drinks camoflaged as reviews. Law is Law and is supposed to be followed in any country in the world. If only all other laws in Thailand was enforced just as strictly, there would be far less deadly traffic accidents and far less violent attacks and shootings.

Where can an elderly retiree find a premium health insurance for only 30-60,000 Baht per year. This is definitely not possible and will also not cover existing conditioner, for which treatments will have to be paid seperately.

The bxxxpedia says 'enhanced'.

Enlarged - Yes!  Enhanced - No!

Everyone who lived in Thailand during the great flood in 2011 in some way will have to be a prepper today. Almost from one day to another bottled water and many other daily necessities were unavailable and the few stores that managed to find some, rationed the sale to only one bottle per customer.  Sweet drinks seemed to have an endless supply, but for someone who only drink bottled water, life suddenly became difficult. That is why that ever since drinking water became widely available again, I have always kept one months supply in my storage room. Unfortunately I don't like the bitter taste of filtered water, which is why I dont use a water filter in my home.

Not difficult to make sure the fare includes everybody. In Thai even. If you can't speak the language, just walk.

Wouldn't it be the taxi riders responsibility, that the customers understand the quoted price?

Will it make any difference to the prices though?

No, that is not how modern pricing works. But it may affect the profits at Apple Company.

They like to buy fresh fruits like persimmons and grapes, which are cheaper than in Thailand

So how about removing that luxury tax on imported Grapes and Persimmons? I would never pay 600 baht (two daily minimum wages) for one kilo grapes and the local grapes are sour and filled with pits.

This outdoor party has been going on until way beyond midnight for 5 nights now, with music and microphone shouting that is so loud, that we can hear it inside our bedroom with closed windows 5 kms away. I feel pity for all the residents living nearby.

People should be more afraid of everything that are not visible in the water!  When will Thailand start to measure and announce the level of e-coli bacterias in the beach water?
