smokie36 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 You need to be eagle eyed as some of the local tradesmen are robbin ' b*strds. Watch out for hawkers preying on the gullible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doji Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yes some cheeples can be cheep as chips, but hey there's nothing wrong to have a cheep chop day once awhile. I don't think it's too cheesy to be cheepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumball Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 To cheep is to go on endlessly a-la-chicken , to be cheap is to get the best bang for your buck , see the difference ? IK am neither , I tend to be frugal at times dependent on what is on the menu . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 In general your right i rather spend a bit extra for quality. Problem is that here quality and price are not really related. Also here you usually don't know the price ranges like in your home country. So its quite ok to inform here. I bought a few fishing floats at 250 bt a piece later i found them (if i bought loads more) at 60bt. That is what i mean that we don't know the price ranges and its good to ask around. (talking special floats here not the standard 30bt versions) I have had expensive trades ppl here that did the same shitty job as their cheaper counterparts. Even a idiot with tools like me came close to their quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickBradford Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well, if some lass has her claws in you and is just looking to feather her nest, then cheep may be the way to go -- especially if she has friends or family in the background egging her on. But if you're both genuinely high-fliers and don't like to be cooped up, then spreading your wings may not be a bad way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shriah Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Premium price always doesn't mean Quality Product. When people say 'Cheap' it always mostly means 'Fairly priced' For example you can buy a Xbox 360 with 120Gb hard drive in Pantip for 11500 baht at one shop and for 9900 at another Shop in Pantip.It doesn't mean the first shop sells quality Xbox , both are the same Xbox, the second shop is 'Cheap' that is it's 'Fairly priced' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
