    Do they even still sell 50 inch TVs?

    Wandered into the TV department this afternoon and saw a 65inch UHD Samsung for 17k.

    Wasn't followed around as was only in me y-fronts.

    My current tv cost 6,400 baht on Lazada.

    Can’t go wrong really, as long as it lasts out the year.

    It's not about enjoying what's on, it's about simply enjoying being with the one you love.

    Fair point. No canned boingboing noises to add to the irritation of all the brightly coloured stupidity.
    Although a window full of spinning, soaped-up, wicking undies might not be everyone's cup of tea.

    The correct application of miming a food mixer ot looking through binoculas ensures they understood, that and being in the TV section.

    50+, it must be burdensome to have to continually think about size, higher shoes, hats to make you look an inch taller and even worrying about being dwarfed by Thai women.

    Anyway anything over 50 looks like a cinema in a 28 sq m duplex

    Next daily moan will be from someone who can't get the store to come and collect a huge TV for repair and it won't fit in the back of a taxi.

    Its a palaver, you have to get it out the window from the 8th floor with rope and straps. Taking out Thai made windows that aren't meant to come out again is a protracted process.

    For all of that electrical stuff I would just send the wife on her own. If they spotted me ,the farang the price would go up. Meanwhile I would be lurking around the corner having a wobbly pop and she would text me a pic of the tv/ fridge etc. haggle a price including delivery. Then hey presto. I would magicly appear with the wallet. The look on there faces was priceless. And before anybody says. Aw ya nasty coont BLD . It was the wifes idea. Plus I hate shopping

    BLD they are priced, some wriggle room and free delivery etc but in this instance a white face doesn't really matter.

    Oh and in two shops they had the incorrect model vs the price tag. Not sure the mrs would spot that.
