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: Songkran 2024 Road Accidents

The other thread on Forzas with phone controls got me thinking ... I wonder if motorcycle accidents/fatalities surged after smartphones saturated the population here. Everyday I see Thais riding along while playing with their phones. Would be an interesting statistic, we know most don't wear a lid h...

Just what you need when riding a motorcycle in Thailand, where there aren't too many dangers and distractions already ... a bunch of buttons so you can play with your phone! :duck: Though this method is much better than watching and typing on the screen while riding, as most of the locals do!

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.

Re: Buying a new Forza or Xmax

Having owned various motorcycles from both manufacturers (currently have 2 Hondas and 1 Yammy), I'd say the Hondas are slightly superior in terms of build quality, switchgear, ergonomics, etc, but you’re paying a premium for one over the equivalent model Yammy. In terms of reliability, they're prett...
