  1. So the so called free markets everyone is always reminded of are actually manipulated and controlled by govt so are not actually free.
  2. "The real question is, can we really trust anything police related here?" Yes.
  3. If on windows, just install a free vpn extension and Sky News live can be watched on You Tube. Probably the same with a free or paid vpn on android.
  4. It was 1500 Baht for the 10 years. My wife tells me it is 1000 Baht for 5 years.
  5. Have a Bosch toaster machine and has the gadget on top to heat up croissants, think it was in the 700 baht range. If bread slices are too big then save time by cutting them in half to fit in the toaster machine and don't have to do it afterwards. If toasting is uneven then take them out and turn them around to get even toasted bread. Had the toaster about 5 years now.
  6. Just walk in, no appointment and took about 10 mins to apply. Probably the staff just not answering the phones, they don't seem to be very busy and it is a spacious office minimally staffed. Could not collect the passport due to Covid they said and they posted the passport back to her and all in all took about 3 days. They issued a 10 years 48 page passport.

  8. People are more educated now and many know about contraception and dont want their lifestyles disrupted for too long by having many children. Also a great part lies with cost and children are expensive. Govt sees children as future economic earners and tax payers.
  9. Everyone knows the only legal way to work in any country and Thailand for expats is with a work permit. Immigration help line could have answered any query you had on working on an elite visa and the answer would have been no. As for considering that legal advice I would say it was not.
  10. Is it 1 piece of 4 baht? if not then you could sell in 4 different shops. Do you still have the receipt from the gold shop it was originally purchased and sell it back to the same shop upon producing their receipt? Do you know any Thais, maybe they could try on your behalf. The gold price is up now and there are many sellers and the gold shops don't want to lose out in the future when the price drops again, maybe wait until the panic over.
  11. Projector 108/central store shows the + version is available on their shopee store...but it seems they only have one piece left. Roku Streaming Stick+ (3810R) HD/4K/HDR Streaming Device with Long-range Wireless and Voice Remote with TV | Shopee Thailand
  12. My regular dentist that I was using for many years in one of the big named hospitals in Bangkok has also cancelled my last 2 appointments and now refuses to take any further appointments for me. Have to find a new dentist.
  13. Projector Central and Projector 108 in Fortune Town Rama 9 have them in store on the 3rd floor. They can also be obtained from their online store on Lazada and Shopee. Shop online at Projector Central | lazada.co.th
  14. Broccoli Revolution Location: 899 Sukhumvit Road, Soi 49 Nearest public transport: Thonglor BTS Rasayana Retreat Location: Soi Prom-Mitr, Sukhumvit 39 Nearest public transport: Phrom Phong BTS
  15. And coronary heart disease, diabetes and stroke are in the top 5 leading causes of death in that country with an average life expectancy of 64 years.
  16. " Bell peppers, 10bht for 4 large in my local market. Fresh ginger, 10bht for 1/2Kg in my local market" That is cheap. Bought a bell pepper the other day...35 baht for 1 and there were organic ones selling for 75 baht each.
  17. "But most supermarket items are half the price online or in local markets" Really In Thailand?
  18. No green and yellow healthy products on that plate.
  19. Everyone can still afford to shop at Thai supermarkets. If somethings rise in price in one market then govt expects that one would make extra effort to shop around in another place to get the items at the same price or to do without.....hence limited rise in inflation. Notice the croissants in Big C have reduced in size.
  20. "He has run out of shower gel and deodorant. " Running out seems odd, the supermarkets in Thailand are well stocked with a variety of such products.
  21. You mention in the OP that the officer asked you to return in 3 weeks for your non o extension. Usually the under consideration period is 1 month so could it be considered that you received a superior expedited service for an additional 5000 baht fee?
