Re: Was Tinto on Soi 94 ever open for business?

I visited Tinto some days ago before the announcement of termination. Lovely Spanish tapas and some excellent wine.
Based on that solitary visit I feel we have lost much in Tinto closing.

Re: Does being an Expat make you miserable?

Most of the farang complaints are of matters that actually contribute to the fact that we are in Thailand. If everything was well-oiled and worked like clockwork, if everything was clean and well-ordered like the barracks, Thailand would be Switzerland or Singapore. We would neither like it nor coul...

Re: Tough action against Hua Hin beach encroachers

´
Tough action against beach encroachers is a cyclic phenomenon. Much as is "They Will Confiscate Your Company Owned House". The Beach Encroacher cycle is about 5 years while the Company Confiscation cycle varies between 3 - 6 years.

Nihil nove sub sole.

Re: Buying big size shoes in Hua Hin

Here you can buy any size shoes. If they do not have your size, they'll special order one or make one locally. Also Bangkok Bootery has couple of outlets in HH, one of them in Blueport. https://www.google.fi/maps/@12.5693072,99.9598983,3a,75y,260.73h,67.51t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sxkaOgSGkK_athj0N9plY-w...

Re: The Quacking Oats? - Contaminated Oats Chips

Thanks for the head-up. A very valid point. Luckily you did, however, read the story in spite of the less than informative subject title.

Re: The Quacking Oats?

Do not assume: I was in contact with VM management the first moment I could. I have sent them photos et al. They have told me they are sorry and this incident shall not happen again.

Why do I feel I should not have posted about this at all?

The Quacking Oats? - Contaminated Oats Chips

WARNING! I bought the other day a bag of Oats Chips from Villa Market. On crunching on them today I was amazed by their hardness and crunch. On closer inspection I noticed there was several pieces of glass in my mouth. What I had not as yet swallowed I fished out for closer inspection and snapped a...

Re: Shipping Gift from US - import duty?

China is not exempt from The Great Random Thai Customs Lottery. I ordered a couple of novelty phones and had to pay duty nearly as much as the original bill was. Further: I ordered a tablet from USA through ebay that was sold before in Thailand, but no longer so. UPS Thailand managed (again) to mess...

Re: EMS letter to Europe?

EMS works fine, 3 - 4 days to Northern Europe. Whatever you do, do not use UPS. They have twice messed up shipments in really costly ways and won't admit their guilt, so they won't ever learn, either.

Anything but UPS Thailand.
