I order the Hillkoff 100% Arabica (French roast/dark) beans. Best value for money found so far. 252 per pound (500 gr) plus shipment. 4 bags (2 kg) cost me 1067 Baht on last order. In the past went for Arabica Casino brand (Brazil) at BigC. But the price has become ridiculous. We use a dripper with paper filters (old fashioned but still best for me).

Funny how serious many posters take take this fun/joke topic. Must be the heat. The predictions by "The Simpsons" are much more stunning. -
Young motorcyclist fatally crashes into 18-wheeler in northeast Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Avoidable with appropriate care from both involved. Broad daylight, dry road. -
Young motorcyclist fatally crashes into 18-wheeler in northeast Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
25 years old and not learned the basic lesson? Big trucks have right of way, don't care for two wheelers. Let my prejudice flow: looking at the wrack it looks like a "pimped" little racer. Did we a go a bit fast? Ever thought about approaching intersections with extra care and bit less speed? Too late. Rest in peace. -
Is Koh Phangan really sold out?
KhunBENQ replied to LaosLover's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
But two months since the OP have passed and likely less tourists now. -
Bangkok Bank App Problems
KhunBENQ replied to carlyai's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Workaround? At least login through the website should still work? (for me it does but no joint account, try it!) A bit inconvenient on the mobile but zoom in and you know the money is still there, transcations taken place etc. To do "new" transactions there will of course be OTP sent to the one and only phone number. I am waiting that they finally introduce an alternative two factor authorization without relying on SMS/Thai telephone number. Antiquated. -
Bangkok Bank App Problems
KhunBENQ replied to carlyai's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Can only tell that this change was announced by Bangkok Bank some time ago. I am not affected so can't help. Nothing to do with "don't like joint accounts". Now waiting that I have to show my unshaved morning grimace to do business -
Get NON-O Visa Inside or Outside Thailand?
KhunBENQ replied to trax33's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes but not the topic here. It's about getting regular Non O status. -
Heavy rain and thunderstorms forecasted across parts of Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It's somewhat entertaining to see the much bigger number of forecasts for Pattaya and how ridicolously they differ https://meteologix.com/th/forecast/1614295-pattaya/xltrend -
Heavy rain and thunderstorms forecasted across parts of Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I do a test. Temperature forecasts for next few days from different sources. I saved them as screenshots and will check against reality. I am a strong believer in ECMWF Sorry to say but "Access" (Australia) is usually rubbish. GEM (Canada) similarly wrong. https://meteologix.com/th -
All I can contribute: I left for a border hop after 10 years of retirement extension on Non O-A in July 22 at >Nong Khai<. In a way they didn't want to let me leave without a re-entry permit thinking I was a bit "uninformed". Cost me some explanation that I DO want to leave without and that's it. No mention of 5 year or other nonsense.

Get NON-O Visa Inside or Outside Thailand?
KhunBENQ replied to trax33's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Nonsense TM86 and finances in order and you are set. I killed my Non O-A in July 22 by entering visa exempt. Then single Non O retirement at KK immigration followed by one year extension later on. -
Thai Airways – Thai Smile merger gets green light
KhunBENQ replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I read that ThaiSmile had made nothing but losses. Now due for a "price adjustment"? -

Laotian refugee shot dead in Isaan province of Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Nice. Killer commands over the border working both ways. -
Unnoticed to me they changed their arithmetic For the occasion I connected my age old 5" external disk and checked some report documents. E.g. 5 February 2016 to 4 May 2016. That's +89 days (due date is day 90), same as stamps at the border. Last two documents show they have changed to +90 days (due date being day 91).
