Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?

In general the 'cost of living' is much cheaper in Thailand even for 'farang' food. Tell me anywhere in the UK where you can get a full English for the same price as here.
I have no complaints.

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread

Yes. Surprised at YTS who have a reputation of providing good downloads.
This was obviously a 'camera copy' which I've deleted and will wait for a good copy.

Re: Turn off the lights for “Earth Hour” tomorrow

Surely this is just someone’s sense of humour? The first one was Saturday March 31st 2007 and has since become a worldwide phenomenon. "Earth Hour has grown to become the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment, bringing together individuals, communities, businesses, organizati...

Re: Dried Peas

Thanks for that, BB. Never thought of looking on Lazada and sure enough there are a few sellers of dried marrowfat peas. I'm just about to order some.

Re: Dentist recommendation

Personally, I don't think you can get better than Nana. Everyone of my family have had treatment there, including my grandchildren and family from the UK. Other dentists use her for procedures they're unable to do themselves. They are one of the few dentists that can do wisdom teeth extractions. I'v...

Re: Thai TV & Flash Sales

With 4 TV's in different rooms, I don't have this problem. The only rule is the TV in the living room is English at all times. What they watch on other TV's is irrelevant.

Re: Buying and storing meat

As long as the meat has been stored properly and thawed slowly in the refrigerator, it can be refrozen safely multiple times. If done correctly, refreezing meat does not pose any health risks. Fresh meat spoils quickly, and freezing it is a common preservation method. https://www.healthline.com/nut...

Re: Thai passport renewal ... 10 years?

Although google agrees with you it's obviously no enforced. My daughter's kids have Thai passports. Only my daughter was present (the father vanished some time ago)

Re: Thai passport renewal ... 10 years?

I'd second that. Took my daughter to renew her Thai passport a few months ago. I left her at the office and wandered off for a coffee. She arrived before I'd had a chance to drink the coffee. All done. Super efficient.

Re: Companion dogs

We have 5 dogs. Husky, German Shepherd, Labrador, mini-poodle and a Chihuahua. Guess which one is the most aggressive. The Chihuahua! It has no fear of the other dogs regardless of their size. The softest and most docile one is the Husky. Easy to look after apart from it's constant hair shedding, wh...

Re: A bit of nostalgia (Motor Show 1968)

Just taken from the commentary. "3 litres and a near £2,000 price tag".
Pointing out just how expensive the motor was implying that it's out of the range for most people.

Just contrasting how values in the day seem so cheap today.
