Re: Menu/food prices rising in Thailand

Imported foods in Thailand were massively overpriced to begin with due to the taxes/duties so yes, they're only going one way (and I know it is happening in other countries).

Re: YouTube Vanced

Apparently, YouTube Premium in Thailand is about 160 baht a month, which isn't so bad, but I don't want to be lumbered with the Thai version of the platform or restrictions/censorship. I only really use it for music anyway so a streaming service such as Spotify might be better. https://youtubever.co...

Re: Best long-term "unlimited" internet SIM deals

What's the latest on these annual internet SIM deals? I noticed the True one we switched to has been hiked 50% from last year's prices now (probably following AIS's lead). The AIS one is now 2,200 but they've halved the data limit to 50GB.

Re: YouTube Vanced

Not sure what you mean by 'saving', but ReVanced was essentially YouTube without the annoying forced ads every ten minutes (and you could leave it playing it in a closed window which you can't with the regular app - though this is more for music than video). Now that its dead, I'm back to Shoppee sc...

Re: Menu/food prices rising in Thailand

Yes, and you make these comparisons on every single thread when something detrimental to Thailand is reported.

Re: Menu/food prices rising in Thailand

The price of pork must be the wholesale price because it’s quite a bit more than that in the supermarkets. Indeed, CP must make its profits regardless. These increases appear to be climate-related though, and this is only going to get worse with amplified and accelerated drought/flood cycles in Tha...

Re: Menu/food prices rising in Thailand

Pork prices continue to rise, reaching 76 baht per kilogram compared to the previous price of 64 baht, leading to further increases in retail prices. This increase is attributed to reduced supply caused by drought and heat affecting the health of animals and increasing production costs. Egg prices a...

Re: Agoda hotel descriptions/prices warning

Its quite easy to spoof domain names in phishing attacks which is what this appears to have been by asking for money via email rather than payment through the secure app.
