Topics I've Started

Chiang Mai'S Expats

2011-08-01 18:48:13

Originally from Europe, I have spent the last 30 years living in various countries, like America, Japan,
Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore.
My plan was, to spend retirement in Chiang Mai, but I am absolutely disappointed about the expat
community here. Never anywhere else have I encountered such a pathetic set of hostile, rude and
unapproachable miss-fits as here. While I find most Thais polite and friendly, expats seem to all hate
each other. In over 2 years of living here, I can't say I ever had even one inspiring and intelligent
conversation with any of my fellow expats.

In every other place I have lived so far, I always found a nice circle of friends after a short while, but
Chiang Mai is different. I can't explain the reason, but there must be something seriously wrong with
foreigners living here.

Mister Minit In Chiang Mai?

2011-07-17 18:10:44

Is there a Mister Minit counter somewhere in Chiang Mai that has a shoe stretching machine?
I have a pair of new hiking boots that are narrow and would need some stretching.

Thanks for any tips.

Toshiba Laptop Service In Chiang Mai?

2011-03-17 12:41:46

Is there an official Toshiba service center in Chiang Mai?

Toshiba Asia has listed only the Bangkok service center,
but surely there must be one in Chiang Mai.

There are the repair shops at Pantip Plazza, but as my
laptop is still under warrenty, I would rather have it
checked by Toshiba.

Thanks for any feedback.

Laptop Import Tax Rate?

2011-01-09 08:36:36

Does anyone know what the import tax rate
for a laptop is?

I am thinking of getting one via ebay from
America.

Thanks for any input.

Mail Order A Laptop From America

2010-09-26 12:31:52

I would like to mail order an IBM 15 inch Thinkpad laptop with English only keyboard from America.

This laptop is not available in Thailand, and the Thai-English keyboard drives me to distraction.

My question: What tax and duty rates are charged by the local authorities?

I would be happy to hear from first hand experiences of someone who ordered a laptop from America.

Thanks in advance.
