If you still get the visa, what's the problem?
-
My friend opened a 7-11 franchise store and wanted the bell removed but was told from up on high its a requirement.
I like it when you walk out and the doorbell goes and the customer services technician without looking up says "Sawatdee ka chern ka" thinking a new customer is coming. I bet they even say it when they walk into another store and hear the bell even if they are off duty.

I've read the wikipedia page but didn't see an entry for Thailand.
Is connecting to open wifi networks you haven't been given permission to connect to illegal in Thailand?
Is connecting to wifi networks that are password protected (but you guess the password) illegal in Thailand?
Anyone got any info on this topic at all?
Thanks.

For two adults and two young kids we spend about 95k per month:
30k for rent
15k for bills
25k for food, mostly eating in, eating out once a month somewhere cheap
10k kids clubs
4k maid
= 84k
The other 10k or so goes on misc expenses such as day trips, taxis etc.
The 15k on bills could be cut a bit I think but the 10k on kids clubs is soon to increase as the baby gets older.
Most people we know out here live on at least 100k per head not including accommodation which is covered by work.
Proper expats probably spend 5x that on living in Thailand plus benefits such as car, driver, and housing.

Yup. Half off I think. 'Considered an act of mercy for the sentencer and a positive step for the sentencee in one's road back to goodness - at least I've often heard that's the rationale. Whatever the reason, the practice is definitely in place. (And I think the concept has been proposed in the UK!) It doesn't make crime VICTIMS happy, esp. in cases of serious crime, but if you're guilty and circumstances are such that you don't have any reasonable expectation of acquittal, it's almost a no-brainer.
Its been the same in the UK for as long as I can remember.
Even peados get a reduced sentence for pleading guilty, even if done so at the last minute:

It makes sense as it saves time and money and prevents the victims from having to go through the ordeal again and being aggressively cross examined in court.
Do they sell these skimmers at Pantip?

Can anyone find the 3G data packages page on the AIS website?
Or know the prices for getting it on my phone?
Thanks

Tell us more about the 'special prison'.
To be honest, it sounds like he got it worse than if he had been in his home country (wherever that may be), or did he crash?

Thanks, do you know how much is in the caps of the product from GNC?
http://gnc.co.th/sports-nutrition/77-pp-bcaa-1800-mg.html
I'm in Bangkok, just after a months supply or so to being with. Not sure about brands to be honest. Might get some sent over from overseas after looking at the GNC prices. Powder would be preferable I think.
-
Thanks. What sort of wait times are there on the Swift?
-
Maybe try somewhere else in Thailand if Phuket is too expensive?
a bottle of beer that costs 70 baht (just under £2)
Since when is £1.57 'just under' £2?

Anyone seen any BCAA powder preferably, or tablets on sale in the Kingdom?
I guess places that sell whey protein would be the best bet.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.
-
Thanks very much for the info. Will add it to the list.

Is that deal open to Thais only?
-
It might be time to get a car but which is the cheapest, or best value, small 4 or 5 door car on offer in Thailand?
I can't find a list of hatchbacks or micro saloons available in Thailand with their prices anywhere.
Anyone got any experience of the:
- Toyota Yaris
- Suzuki Swift
- Mazda 2 (is there a 1?)
- Honda Jazz
- That small Mitsusishi
- The small Nissan (March?)
Also, what sort of finance would be available to a working farang on a new car? Deposit of what % then monthly payments for how long?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.

Does anyone know a tailor who can make fitted t-shrits and shorts in the style of chinos?

Saw on Google there is a new gym open on Silom that does Crossfit classes.
Has anyone been there yet? It looks good from the website, but then so did Cali WOW.
Thanks.

Paragon has a big sports section in their department store and Central World has a large SportWorld store.

Maybe he had a mental breakdown and wasn't of sound mind enough to phone home.
Maybe his parents don't want that published all over the net so haven't mentioned it.
Basically, when he next applies for a job and the prospective employer Google's his name, this thread and all the insinuations in it will probably be on page one!
"So, tell me about your trip to Thailand. I read online that you were balls deep in something?"

Anyone know where I can find historical date for the baht vs the USD and the GBP going back to the 1997 crash?
Or how much baht you could get for $1 or £1 back in the day?
Thanks.1

Is there anything else that can be bought OTC instead that can help with sleeping?
-
Thanks, are they the only ones?

Is going to an insurance broker the best bet for getting the information on the different types of health and medical insurance available to expats / long term residents in Thailand?
If so, could anyone recommend a few?
Thanks.

That would make sense! Just burned through 200 baht in less than a day.
Do you know the number to dial to find out the existing balance for the regular pre paid balance?
I can't find it online, only ones for hearing the remaining SMS etc
Thanks.
Annoying 7-Eleven doorbell only in Thailand?

If go into the store and ask to look closely at the bell end, you can see where it came from and which manufacturer.
