PS: Dannie Boy — aren't you off topic...??

The thread is “Kerry Express Problem” True enuf that Kerry is normally very good. Enuf so that not many comments about Kerry Problems to generate it beyond a one post thread. So ironically the thread has drifted. So here is my 2 bits worth. Lazada has switched to their own proprietary courier - LEX ...

First picture: Looks like the army dude might have a hold on a couple of nuts. Cannot tell if the guy is grimacing or smiling. Wonder if some translatable text might give a clue..?

But notice they are not talking about elimination of dual pricing. They are merely admitting to themselves that people who have been here for a while cannot be duped as easily as those who arrive with deep pockets for a holiday then leave in two weeks. But to the average Koon Thai a farang is a fara...

Dual prices on agenda - Operators urged to target expat market The Tourism and Sports Ministry plans to propose to the prime minister the idea of ditching dual pricing at local attractions for expatriates in Thailand, as well as asking tour operators to tailor packages to this target group Expats h...

Drive from the new Hua Hin Hospital #5 to Soi 102 (Soi 112 at Dusita #1 & 2) On looking around out there it will be noticed that several very large tracts of land have been filled and leveled including adjacent to the “lakes” — there are more than one. Also lots of street lights have been instal...

With larger bottles, like used at the hospital, the only difference is that medical bottles normally have a stainless steel valve / welding equipment bottles have a bronze valve. The bottlers are the sam altho some companies paint them different colors and they are all filled side by side on the sam...

buksida » Wed Apr 15 Any idea what has happened to the shipping charges? Even the ones that say 'free shipping' now have a shipping charge added when you go to order. Just tried it with five different things to test and they all wanted to charge a flat 53 baht for shipping no matter whether it was ...

Take a serious and critical look at every one of the new trucks. Even if the overall design is ‘stale’ notice how the wheel wells continue going higher above the top of the wheels. Ground clearance has not increased tho as the axles are same. Then lean against the side of the box and notice how diff...

As a (returning) tourist this is good advice for me. Just be sure your bank is one that does not put fees on foreign transactions. There are many if you know how to root them out. If you live in Western Washington State there is a good small one in Poulsbo = Liberty Bay Bank = international wire fe...

Have not been to Bkk in quite a while but years back in the days of prowling around there I always spent a lot of time exploring Chinatown. Always interesting and always easy to get lost - in alleyways and in thoughts and amazement. You can find anything you need or want there and in any quantity. F...
