Songkran festival sees surge in road accidents across Thailand
Chongalulu replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Is there a single comment on this thread that hasn’t largely been said already in interminable threads on Thai RTA ? 💤 -
You are of course correct about taxes which distort prices. Actually domestic U.K. wine is more expensive than say Australian. U.K. really doesn’t have the geography to efficiently produce wine to compete with the likes of Australia and southern Europe (I worked in the industry). It costs more per bottle to truck a container across Europe to U.K. than a shipping container on a ship from Australia to Southampton docks!

You don’t really understand the mathematics. If I charged you 5% p.a. on a loan of £100 you would pay nothing back until the end of the year when you would pay me £105 . That is true APR and how your bank pays interest on a savings account . If you started paying the loan back via monthly payments say over a year then clearly you haven’t had the benefit of borrowing £100 for a full year,thus you are paying a higher interest rate. If you need that explained in more detail I suggest you google it.

As another poster pointed out that is not APR (true interest rate) Briefly by halfway through the repayment period you've repaid half the capital but still being charged interest on the whole sum. It roughly works out at double the quoted sum. But at 4% real rate that is still good and beating inflation,so you are actually ahead !

A place showing football and open till very very late??
Chongalulu replied to JemJem's topic in Bangkok
Yes there is. I have Bein sports for 1000 baht whole season. This morning I simply went onto the video on demand catch up which has no spoilers so effectively it was live for me at a convenient time. I watched both matches not knowing either result beforehand. They have the FA cup too -

You sound white and entitled. Go back to the nanny state where your mummy gave birth Do let us know when your mummy finds out who you father was - or can reduce it to half a dozen options…. Oh ,mummy dropped you on a stranger's doorstep ,did she? Never mind ,perhaps you were brought up by soi dogs? -

Here we go with yet another Groundhog Day of comments.. 😴 -
5 years ago in Uk I bought a Boots (chemist) branded product. You quickly see the Omron brand name on parts of it. My doctors had omron too. Made in Vietnam. Seems the obvious choice so just get the model with the features you want. Basic does the job but mine keeps a record of previous readings to compare with.
