If it isn't sold in LOS by Honda stay away. I got a direct import Honda Zoomer 50ccm. Great looking, great fun. But it doesn't run properly anymore. After much reading on forums I finally figured the problem. There is a tip on the camshaft valve that wears off and needs to be replaced to fix the ope...

We have a Toshiba laptop that went dark after Toshiba's critical must do Bios upgrade. Went to Banana-IT's Toshiba section asking for repair, willing to pay. The guy told us to take it to Toshiba in Bangkok ourselves. Go figure that out. All it would need is an external USB bootable 3.5 inch floppy ...

I also tend to agree. I hate salespeople bothering me. If I need something, I'll ask. As a side note though, the Thai property company my wife works for doesn't allow employees to eat during office hours. The can only eat during their lunch break, and even then, not in the office. As for the mobile...

Went shopping at Market Village with the long hair general. While she was hunting down the sales at various clothing stores I strolled past the real estate sales booth and picked-up brochures of various developments. Only one booth approached me actively asking me for my interest and even for my eMa...

Love these stores !!! When does it open ? Why? My experience with the Macro in Petburi was dreadful. I wouldnt venture into another thanks. Why do you like these stores? I am genuinly interested. Everything that we need in large quantities is there in large quantities like a pack of 24 sodas at thb...

Using an avatar that reflects your business might help. The current one showing two inflatables ...

How does a 200 feet palm tree look like ?

I would add that the successful Thais have studied abroad and/or are sending their kids abroad to study. The King and his brother had studied in Switzerland, Abhisit in England. Some seem to find western logic valuable.

They should consult a ghost that can do some number crunching when taking business decisions. And another one that understands logic when doing business with westeners.

Decent & reasonably priced cheese and wine. Calvados. @hollister. I'm with you on that - but tend to prefer east coast, around St.Augustine. Florida is pretty tough competition for Thailand IMHO, as prices rise, for (for eg) retirees, who don't have to worry about the tax system so much. I woul...

Your last month's rent or security deposit is essentially a gift to them... I seldom hear of anyone getting it back.... :twisted: I've rented 3 to 4 times in Hua Hin from the same English gentleman and always got the deposit back. Currently renting again direct from an owner. Will see how it works ...

Well avoid the staff from DairyQueen. When they run out of plastic cups they refuse to sell Moolattes even if they still got the other cups.

For some of the beaches water quality seems to depend on the season. Been on Koh Chang back in July 2005 (wedding trip). The beaches were nice but the water was dark and brown. Never been to Hua Hin or Pattaya yet in any season I'd like to go swimming in the sea. Bang Saen (thai family trip) was lik...

Had a Huaway Dongle for two years which however got lost buy the family. Now I am using my iPhone 4s with AIS 1-2-call prepaid SIM and unlimited Internet at thb 799 per month. I just toggle Hotspot to on and can connect both our Macbook and iPad to it. In key areas they feature a 3G signal with spee...

If I weren't married to my Thai wife - who I don't want to miss - I would have bought a house on sunny Florida's west coast. Florida is sunny, warm, well maintained and most things are cheap as well. I can buy cloth there that fit and last more two washing cycles. For the european price of a thai qu...
