notmyself Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 and I only go cos my landlady has a habit of bringing my bill the day after it's non-7-11-able.Same here. Given I'm disabled and don't have my own transport it really is an issue for me. If I'm lucky a friend will be heading over to Nathon during the following couple of days so they do it for me but if not I have contact a motor-taxi friend who only charges me 200 Baht for the job which is a good price. He workes evenings/ nights and sleeps all day (office opening hours) so I don't like asking him unless I have no choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
