My only rooftop experience is "Above Eleven" (Soi 11). And that was a wish from a friend visiting from Germany. Was nice and from I what I read less expensive than others. A friend from Jomtien could not resist to take his wife to Lebua Sky Bar. He would never tell me what he paid for a coke

The price IS regulated: https://www.globaltradealert.org/intervention/112034/price-stabilisation/thailand-government-increased-the-price-of-raw-milk I may be wrong that the price has increased to 95 Baht last year for 2 liter Meji. And name me another product that hasn't risen in over 10 years.

Unlikely. One of the products unchanged at 91/91.5 for 2 liter Meji since I am here (2011). Was it just rumor that there is some control/limits on the price of milk?
-
I remember periods of shortage. The first was simply from the 2011 floods. Transport hindered. For other periods I can't tell the reason. Granddaughter brought a 2l Meji full fat yesterday. Will use it thrifty ????

GBP/THB rate sharp dive

It's not a Pound thing, it's a Baht surge. -
Is there an upcoming national alcohol ban on August 1-2, 2023?
KhunBENQ replied to guyfromtheweb2's topic in General Topics
That is an interesting question. Assume: there is NO law controlling weed. Simply removed from a drugs list. Where there is no law, there is no prohibition. -
Mini bus circles around. Can easily add an hour to the trip. Drivers are not able to read hotel names in English. Dispatcher writes phonemic Thai on a sheet. Went quite wrong for me. Bus turning in to Royal Cliff at one case ????

Hope you can overcome it ????

Is there an upcoming national alcohol ban on August 1-2, 2023?
KhunBENQ replied to guyfromtheweb2's topic in General Topics
As answered in the other thread: both days Aug 1st and 2nd will have official alcohol ban. Nationwide of course. As far as I know all places with alcohol license will have to close/shutters down. Not sure about possible loopholes. -
Will Monday, July 31st, 2023 be declared a national holiday?
KhunBENQ replied to guyfromtheweb2's topic in General Topics
For Thai people it's not news. Same procedure... And I just looked at my Thai wall calendar. Both in deep red. -

Both days Aug 1st and 2nd will have alcohol ban. Thanks to the outgoing government all Bhuddist holidays are. -
Murder suspect of Hans Peter Mack case pleads innocence
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
From the reports. Seems a couple of businessmen got to know Olaf involuntary. As other mafia gangsters he and his gang made money by "protection rackets", extortion, scams/fraud/trickery and the like. This Petra was a notorious scam/fraud gangster ever since when still in Germany. She had been sued multiple times for unpaid bills and theft but notoriously overloaded justice/law enforcement let it slip. -
K-Bank Email
KhunBENQ replied to Lucky Bones's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I have Bangkok Bank, SCB and KBank. The only bank that has it ready for me is Bangkok Bank. Was at SCB some weeks ago and they were not prepared. KBank, check just now and if I select the facial recogniton it still says for Thai customers only. Facial recognition with Bangkok Bank is a burden. Works or doesn't work, try again and again and once I was successful. Instructions on screen what grimace to do while on cam. So small I can't read, if I put on glasses it will not work of course -
Can you explain how that should work? For the banking apps, the payee has to generate a QR with the amount and details of payee. This QR code is then scanned with the banking app. Definitely not done at 7/11. Exactly opposite at 7/11: you generate a QR code on your device/app which then is scanned by the 7/11 clerk. Your QR code basically says this is my "account"/"wallet". After 7/11 clerk has scanned the QR you confirm (from what I observe, not from own experience).

Google chrome date in Thai rather than Western calender
KhunBENQ replied to sirineou's topic in IT and Computers
Another attempt before giving up. It's NOT a Windows setting (language, region, date/time, ....)! It's NOT a Chrome Setting! It's a laughable Google search setting stored in a Cookie! Can be completely independent of the Windows settings. -
Thai citizens entering Laos with/without passport?
KhunBENQ replied to AventurasEnMadrid's topic in Laos Visa and Immigration
The only reason to use ID card and border pass instead of passport might be avoiding stamps in the passport when traveling frequently? And I guess the majority of Thais doing one day visits to Laos don't have a passport (costs money and effort). For occasional/single visit she should just use passport. -
German expat in Thailand faces death penalty for premeditated murder
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Death penalty still imposed but executions suspended since long. Interrupted by one single case in June 2018. Quite randomly picked young robber and murderer (over an iPhone!). -
Google chrome date in Thai rather than Western calender
KhunBENQ replied to sirineou's topic in IT and Computers
I hope I found it... I had the same annoyance with Buddhist calendar (2566) instead of western AD (2023). Deeply hidden, open this link: https://www.google.com/preferences Then scroll down and see the "Regional Settings" for the search. (I see it in German language at the moment so won't hardcopy) What is the setting at your Chrome browser? "Current Region"? Play with the setting and look whether it helps. Restart browser (not sure whether necessary). No chance with Windows settings!
