  1. well, I showed the watch strap to a Thai watch repairman in UD Town and he said I literally got scammed! He showed me the same exact straps that he sells for 140 baht!!! that's without negotiating yet!
  2. no a girl that likes the kinds that I like ????
  3. I'm an amateur novice (but quite stupid sometimes) ???? watch collector and I pretty much know about the price to quality ratio. The one I got for 700 baht was just 1 strap/band (top and bottom, pair) with no brand name or where it's made. I have a feeling most of the seller's straps are from neighbor countries, and made in China with fake "made in Italy". Most of them are plastic leathers but the seller kept swearing they were "nung thair" real leather. The seller kept saying "thowt mon bop" lying is a sin. He was so good at the act and that if I'd walk away he'd come up with some intimidating scraps like what happended to me years ago in Udon watch store next to the Udon bus station, yes another warch store!!! ????????????
  4. Central Udon basement food court next to the money exchanger, it's the only one there. It's a lesbian gentleman, very very pushy and slay. It's one of those guys that don't want you to walk away emptied handed but will make you lose a fortune. ????
  5. thanks everyone for all the infos and suggestions. I ended up doing Udon and went to Central and I think I got tourist trapped with a pair of silicone watch bands for 700baht! ???? I posted about on here last night.
  6. Would you pay 1,400 baht or more or half off for a pair of watch bands especially rubber no name silicone bands? That's what I did today. I think I got myself in a tourist scam trap. Please vote!
  7. they have higher end taste than their parents now a day ????
  8. Udon is pretty good for international shopping and Japanese food but not much kids things to do. What about Khonkaen? Is downtown Khonkaen bigger than Udon? thanks
  9. Bigcamera doesn't sell Nikons, right? Their on-line store doesn't show any Nikon stuff. Any reputable store besides Bigcamera?
  10. I did online researches but it's confusing. Aren't land border crossers considered tourists too? There are thousands of tourists doing land and river borders, probably more than "flight tourists" coming into Thailand and they buy more tons of stuff than the flight tourists. I guess I'll tell her to fly. Like kids always say it's "not fair" ????
  11. can a vat be refunded by land border or bridge crossing from neighboring countries? I have a friend who wants to cross one of the bridges for shopping and wants to know if she could get vat refund and how and where?
  12. last question. if a friend crosses one of the Thai Lao bridges to shop does she qualify as a "tourist" and qualify for vat refund? where would she go for vat refund. She plans to buy a laptop that costs about 43,000 baht0. thanks in advance
  13. they had big baskets full of unripened durians.
