    I bought borax online from a company in Phuket. For 500 grams it was 260 baht including EMS postage to Phayao Here is the link http://www.healthfoo...s=borax&x=7&y=7

     

    hello,

     

    now it seems that they sell only 1kg for 495 thb.

    But it seems that someone is honest on lazada. 99thb for 1 kg !

    For sellng on FBA etc, I guess a sole proprietorship business would be the best way to go? My Mrs. will be registering a Thai company and I was weighing the options for her on which was the best route to take. Cheers.

     

    do you know how much it costs to register her ?

    thanks.

    I agree with you and in doing as much as possible to protect yourself... 

    But, best of luck following your rules if a Thai Policeman decides he wants to search you. 

    Legally this involves going back to the station where you would / could be searched.

    If you refuse at any part at the station you will be arrested and then have to give up your belongings. 

     

    Of course, this is all highly unrealistic and there is usually a compromise in emptying your own pockets and accepting a ‘pat down’ along with opening your wallet to show the Police its contents (i.e. in Sukhumvit they’re looking for drugs in a wallet pocket etc).

     

    In complying as quickly and as best as possible you will be on your way very quickly. 

     

    Annoy the officers or try to dominate the situation and they can make life difficult for you while going on an ego trip. 

     

     

    Personally - in such a situation I just called one of my close mates (who’s also Police) and he asks them to leave me be. 

     

     

    Some people have grown some, don't you know ?

    When one took my wallet, I took it back from his hands because I had 20k inside.

    I showed him but NEVER let him take it again in his hands, he liked it or not. At the end he did what I wanted, him or any other of those rats.

      I bought it to use as a freezer.  So, I have never tried to use it as a refrigerator. The dial on the temp control is numbered 1-8. From 1 to 3 there is a solid black bar and between 2-3 it is marked "refrigerator". Numbers 3-8 have a black dot between each number, 6 is marked "freeze" and 8 is marked "deep freeze". I have mine set between 6-7 and the temp is -16 C. 

       If you Google "recommended freezer temps" you'll find that there will be a larger amount of frost build-up, at the lowest settings. More frost build-up reduces efficiency. 

     

     

     

    Thank you. Bought at Makro it seems that your freezer is Natural brand.

    It seems to be the only one that allows to use it not too cold (as a fridge), for example when your main fridge breaks down.

    The only cheaper available now is Haier brand, sold online:

    I bought a freezer from the local Makro last year.  I was comparing prices and features of the models on display with the assistance of an employee. I had narrowed the selections down to two from those on display then decided on a Natural brand.  The employee helping me started moving the display models aside and pulled out another unit from behind and set it next to the one I had chosen.  The unit he pulled out having a slightly different designed control knob and power light. The model numbers were the same and the build date of the second unit was 4 months older and the price was discounted 1200 baht lower than the newer model. Couldn't pass on the 1200 baht savings with free delivery. The Natural I have looks very much like the one in your Makro link.  

     

     

    Hi, thank you, have you tried to set it at the minimum to know if it really work as a fridge ?

    Can you check the position of the regulator now ? do you put it the coldest possible ?

     

    Thanks again.

  6. What I found interesting with Natural is to be able to adjust temperature to use it as a fridge if needed:

     

    ปรับอุณหภุมิเริ่มต้น 3°C ถึงสูงสุด – 23°C ( REFRIGERATE – FREEZE )

    It is not written on other freezers description, but maybe it's usual ?!

     

     

  7. hello,

     

    Between 2 "$hit" brands, which one would you choose if you needed a spare cheapest freezer ?

    Haier or Natural ?

    Have you found any better brand for the same price ?

    Buying at Lazada or Makro is equal ?

     

    Thanks.

    The location isn't good, lots of traffic noise. Only the bigger buildings set back a bit in Jomthien sai 2 manage to cope, anything near the road is like eating at a highway stop.

     

    But it seems ok for most people ?! I always wonder why people choose to eat in front of a road or even rent/buy a condo/house at the ground floor in front of a road.

    I'm happy to now know that I am not alone to have this idea. It's true that most sitting was indoor, but I think that tourists do not like to sit indoor when on vacation in a tropical country.

    What was good at kahuna anyway ?
