Foreigners can certainly buy tickets and i won a small amount 2000 baht and was paid out. If you won the jackpot though might be a problem.

I buy my 80 slice packet in Macro for under 400 Bt. ..Does me fine for a sandwich.
I buy my 84 slice 1kg cheese at Food Mart for 265 baht. OK for cheese burgers and sandwiches. Normal cheese is just unaffordable, like wine.

Transferwise should really have tiered fees, their scale means transfers over 2000 euros are best avoided. What muppet will transfer a million euro and pay a 4000 euro fee
If using TW gets you an extra 0.4 baht on the exchange rate then the million euros saves you 400,000 baht which more than covers the 4000 euro fee. Currently TW offer a rate of 38.57, Krungsri Bank offer 38.17 on TTs.

No way. Not possible.
You can't select Thai Baht to be sent.

Yes that seems odd. When you transfer Sterling to Thailand they pay baht into your thai account. Why can't they pay Sterling into your UK account the other way. It would reduce their net transfers to Thailand.

Just out of interest has anyone tried to use Transferwise to move money from Thailand abroad, to say the UK. As no money actually leaves Thailand i presume there would be no issue in repatriating funds.

Who wears a watch now with a mobile phone telling you the time. Who cares what other people think about you if you wear an expensive watch. Just tape a 1000 baht note to your shirt, thais will respect you more.

The problem i have found with Shoppe is that their website seems to be only in thai, which is why i would never use them.

Prayut needs to raise the money for the Subs and as very few Thais drink wine it's fair game.
The problem is a lot of farangs will stop drinking wine at these prices, or cut back, so he could end up with less tax revenues. They must have sold a shed load of Mont Clair previously but i doubt anyone buys it now.

I just bought a dash cam on LAZADA, paying COD.
It arrived today the driver would not let me open the package before I paid.
I cancelled the order. I have 2 more orders coming this week and they will both be cancelled.
I have spoken to LAZADA about it & they tell me that its the policy of Kerry Express.
Was that the outer packaging which i usually remove to check i have been sent the right item. I can understand why you are not allowed to remove the inner packaging as it makes it unsellable if you then refuse to accept it. Why would you want to remove the inner packaging anyway as it tells you nothing about whether the item will work OK. Lazada have good return policies should you have a subsequent problem.

I'm no expert but i doubt if fruit wine in plastic bags matures with age.

I have bought numerous electrical items via Lazada and never had a problem, or fraud. A go pro is not that expensive. Better though if the item is sold via Lazada itself than a 3rd party vendor.

I think there is going to be a whole lot of unsold wine just sitting on stores shelves taking up room with these never ending tax increases...
Hell they can not seem to even wait 2 or 3 weeks now before the next tax increase....
That will be a problem. If anyone is stupid enough to pay 1119 for Mont Clair it will probably be months, or years, old.

I would never buy shoes, or clothes, mail order in Asia, their sizes mean nothing.

Any condo you buy for 1 million fully furnished is going to have crap furniture. If its yours better to throw it out and buy some decent stuff. If its rented its up to the landlord but best of luck trying to get any new stuff.

Is it new? i though rich people always looked down on poor people.

The papers seem to be saying that Sturgeon came out on top. Says it all about the UK when the debate winner is someone who wants to destroy the country.

Shocked it hasn't fallen to 35 yet?
(google is my friend)
Don't worry it will be 35 on the 8th May with wee jock McSalmond in charge.

As already said not a ghetto but run down due to poor maintenance in tropical climate. The constant construction of huge condo complexes has surely created an oversupply.
Oversupply is the devil causing high vacancy rates. And this country has no system to penalise owners leaving their units vacant, nor developers leaving their units unsold.
Surely if a developer has built a condo and only sold a few units they must be paying a great deal in maintenance fees for the unsold units. This must be a big incentive to sell their units.

You should shop at Foodmart on Thappraya Road, they round the satangs DOWN.

I am going for a re entry permit next week and haven't had one for a while. What are the latest requirements for associated paperwork? Just the TM8 and one photo or copies of passport, visa, etc etc.

I went over the weekend and had a great time, the circuit is very good. Long drive though from almost anywhere in Thailand. I booked the Grandstand and again thought the seating arrangements were a bit chaotic. Big sections were held empty for Yamaha (with no Yamaha bikes competing!!). Luckily my tgf had a Yamaha shirt on so we were allowed in. Lots of people seemed to be standing to watch the race, not so good at 1,500 baht.
Great result for the Brits of course.

It's a joke that anyone can buy one of Britain's great car names and suddenly think they are an MG maker. Does this fool anyone?

What a pointless question. $900k a year would buy you a good life in any city in the world, more so in Thailand. If the OP doesn't know that he must be a very poor solicitor.
Gold shops suffer lack of cash as people rush to sell their jewellery

I am surprised that gold shops are open during this crisis. Hardly essential. Why are they allowed to stay open?
