It is possible that Union Pay cannot be used outside China as part of China's currency control. If that is the case it will outside of the scope of Union Pay's licences.

The vehicle shown does not have a removable canopy, and so does not appear like a pick up at all. It is actually bigger than it looks.
The Jeep will cost a lot in China if imported. However, there is a JEEP JV in Beijing. The other thing is that vehicles with larger engines are getting hit for more tax now.
Can you register a bought in China vehicle in Laos?
Can you register a bought in Lao vehicle in Yunnan?
The import taxes may favour one over the other.

I will agree with everything said so far.

Water and food are much safer than in China. I ate street food every day for 6 weeks in Thailand and was never sick. Two days back in China and I was ill.
Drink bottle water, none of it will be 'fake'.

Different areas of Thailand are different. Mostly it is as well developed as China. But cleaner. Medical is a lot better, it is a world centre for health tourism.

Anti-malaria medicines, if you use, must be taken with food or you feel sick. Take then with food and you will feel fine.
Other medicines - I am sure you have your favourite OTC meds for colds, etc. Take a small supply with you is easier than looking for a pharmacy in the countryside.

For money, it is better to take USDollars which are easily exchanged to local money.
I could not use my Union Pay card in Phuket 2 years ago.

Off topic, but related to theme songs. When we watched terrestrial TV we listened to the whole theme, even if only in the background while we quickly made a cup of tea or finished off some other chore. With streaming, or watching box sets, we quickly FF over the theme song and titles. We are missing a lot of great music.
Everything else said by the last two posters can be captured within the idea that we no longer live in a society, we live in a market.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
