Our local "wholesaler" is open 9AM - 6PM with no apparent restrictions on quantity. They do sell a small selection of non-alcohol goods, but I'm not really sure under what laws they operate. This is Thailand after all

Was that "missed" or "pissed"??

Gemini AI says this: -

Yeah ^^^. My understanding was that it was originally intended to stop the kids buying on the way home from school, but it's all lost in the annals (anals) of time.

I wish they would bring back the old rider on the sales hours which said you could buy "wholesale quantities" outside hours. IIRC it was buy 10 litres or more at any time, so 2 slabs of 24 x 320ml cans (15.36 litres) was just fine. I did have to educate some Tesco-Lotus checkout girls on the finer points of the law.

Long, long ago a mate, who was known as "Bonking Bob" (for fairly obvious reasons), had a saying :- "Thai girls - take two they're small". Bob is now happily retired in Malta with his rather lovely Maltese wife.

I wonder if a pink ID number would work since they seem incapable of handling passports.

There's not actually much going on at present, next high tides are at the end of next week. Keep an eye on the river level thread linked to earlier 🙂

I've not received said message, yet! When I do i'll be off to the bank to try to turn it on, we shall see. I don't often do transfers over 50k anyway. It took several attempts to get it to work in Bangkok Bank a couple of weeks back but it worked eventually.

Nooooooo! I just had to listen didn't I? Now it won't leave my brain! Will I need further surgery?

Got the pathology back on Mr Mole today. Those who diagnosed seborreic keratosis give yourselves a prize 🙂

Line-4, although the monorail (and HSR) are apparently equally disatrous 😞

Been here since 2004, Madam was (just) a granny when we got hitched Now a great-granny. Love her to bits, family are great and we have a home that I would have no chance to own in the UK. God is in his heaven and all is right with the world. Except the Cairo project which is a mess** 😞 ** But they do pay me an inordinate amount to take the blame sort out the issues and I can WFH mostly.

Does "by post" count as "in person" or does one actually need to physically attend?
