Hey guys, just moved back to Bangkok after not having been here for awhile. I am staying in the Emquartier area and just wanted to ask some questions that maybe you could help me with. I would google them, but if you have used google recently you know how (un)reliable their search results have become and how much time I would waste trying to get up to date info.
​
I see Grab is here now, but you can’t order a motorbike? Isn’t that what Grab is…. Anyways, is there any app to order motorbike rides? Preferably one where the driver will have a helmet?
Anyone else have trouble signing up for Food Panda? I spent 2 hours trying to get it going and it was just constant buggy roadblock, I had to enter a 4 digit code and put it in correctly and it said incorrect, then it said re-send code and no new code ever arrived… I could go on, but I tried with 3 different emails and on both my phone/laptop and never accomplished it.
Any tips on finding a month to month apartment? Any reliable sites or property management companies with an office I could go to? Not a fan of signing leases and being tied down, particularly when its not even guaranteed Thai will let you return after your visa run
What grocery store has the widest variety of foods? I am looking for some healthy stuff like high protein no fat/sugar yogurts or puddings, quinoa, black beans, malt powder…. anyone ever spot any of these? I have found some high protein low fat products, but they aren’t an exact match for what I would prefer (though I can go with them if its all I’ve got)
I assume that there is no cheap ATM to use around right? I have Schwab, I just don’t like making them pay that exorbitant rate on withdrawals for the long haul if I decide to stay for awhile
I can give you one tip from my short time here, be careful buying any bongs/bubblers… lots of those that have no clear holes or that have other defects clearly got dumped on the unknowing Thais, pay close attention before you buy
