Would point out it takes about 30 seconds for the landlord to read the meter.

Then another 30 seconds to work out the outstanding bill.

There's absolutely no reason for the landlord not to return the deposit at the same time you return the key ...... unless he intends to keep it!

Sorry disagree with you, there was absolutely no reason for the French man to steal.

No matter what the landlord did or didnt do the French man stole, there is no excuse for that.

He said he told the owner of the room he was leaving but the owner refused to return the deposit until utilities were acounted for and an assessment of potential damage was made.

So he is just a nut job, the landlord was correct wanting utilities sorted and check for damages before he returned the deposit.

Nowhere in the OP does it say landlord refused to return the deposit.

French man was totally out of order, and is a thief.

[Pattaya: Immigration go after US man who refused to wear mask at Taco Bell - he's fined and repentant]

What a total waste of time, if he was Thai nothing would have been done.

Around here a very small percentage of people are wearing masks, nothing is done about it.

Just another farang bashing episode, having said that the man is as fool for not wearing a mask.

My pet hate is that the vendor gets your phone number when you make the order. They phone me and say "oh we dont have that colour/item/size but we can send you something similar"

Very true mate, i saw a company selling wheelchairs Soma which i use on my forth of the brand.

The price they were selling them at, WOW about half the cost of ones i had previously bought, im having one of them at that price.

Next day i got a phone call from the company, at first a problem because my Thai not good enough to understand the lady, then a lady came on with good English proceeded to tell me they were out of stock of the model i had ordered, but had other ones in stock but 3.000baht more expensive, oh ok send me a photo of the chair.

She sent me a photo of the more expensive chair, bloody clowns it was the exact model they claimed not to have in stock.

Needless to say i told them cancel the order.

[Lazada sellers new trend in stock management (annoying)]

A couple of months ago, both of my winches stopped working, damn, i am stuck without at least 1 working winch.

Contact local shop that had been supplying winches to me for over six years, Kanto have stopped making them, but he organized a second hand winch for me.

On Lazada, see a winch which was suitable, ordered winch, first day..... Item packed, a week went by, still the same, contacted seller several times no response, contact Lazada... OH you cannot cancel item is on its way, oh no its not, still says packed nothing else, you cannot cancel.

A very frustrated person i am two weeks still just showing packed, Lazada customer services waste of time, you cannot cancel.

A month goes by, still the same, so Lazada got both barrels from me, if winch is not there by the end of the month Lazada will cancel.

Got e mail first of june winch has been cancelled, on the third of june Flash Express at the gate with the damned winch, i refused to accept it.

While all this nonsense is going on i ordered another winch from Lazada, different company, it was delivered in two days.

[organizations getting food and supplies to homebound, elderly, poor in CM ?]

Well Orang37 why dont you get together some dry goods/ cans, go out to a poor area and hand stuff out yourself?

Good idea not to give anything to NGOs, as most of monetary donations go on staff, fancy vehicles.

Also you give to any organization you are never sure it goes to where it is needed.

Do it yourself, but take care of yourself, mask, sanitizer, and distancing yourself from others.

Totally wrong mate, i live in an Issan village, off the main drag, very quiet now.

Three or so years ago wasnt quiet, was like the wild west, not any more, one of the main culprits is dead, over dose, two others are inside, one for murder, one for dealings.

Now all you hear at night is a few dogs running around outside.

Very quiet, heaven indeed, love it.

Now i am stuck in a wheelchair, not easy to go out, with covid i am not going out anyway.
