  1. I've had the same thing happen to me twice after a power out rages ....the problem was  the starter motor capacitor blow each time ....and had to be replace ( about 700b) ..it only effected one of my 5 units ....the engineer recommended turning the power off to that unit at every outrage ....and turning in back on again a short time after the power is back on ...that way there's not a power peak that can blow the starter capacitor. 

  2. My LG 11kg lasted just under 8yrs ..so it looks like an average life expectancy ....I bought  a similar model ( NOT LG)  from Lazada .. and saved about 25%   if I'd have bought the same model from a shop outlet ..  (36hrs and free delivery PC to my door)

  3. Hello .

    Just wondering if there is any feed back on  how Immigration   (Specifically Jomtien) is dealing with the new Retirement extension requirements ..I know is early days ..but it might be good to get first hand  experiences of the new procedure and what to expect .       Fore warned is fore armed ...

     

    Please keep it as a point of reference to help people  who will be applying in the near future ....and not merely a thread to slag the new requirement ..we have to live with it and  moaning about it will not help anyone..

    That place would be on foodies lists in San Francisco. Simply amazing. But I hear some of the big boys here are afraid to walk into that zone for some reason. Be warned they close at 7 p.m. 

    foodies lists in San Francisco. ....would that be the Snowflake cafe by any chance  lol  MAGA  

  5. I fitted a reverse osmosis drinking water system under my sink  and also added a UV light filter for added safety ..I have been using the system for nearly 4 years  and have not had a issue with the water quality ....in fact the water quality is better than bottled water you buy ... The last water quality reading I took it was  007 ppm ( parts per million) distilled water being 0.00 ppm .....

  6. Hello All .

     

    Been here just over 10 yrs now and I need all my booster injections for Tetanus etc etc ....can any one recommend a walk in clinic in the south Pattaya to Sattahip area and a rough price that  I can expect to pay .

     

    Many thanks in anticipation 

     

    Cheers all    ..OH and please no wise cracks  a serious request 

  7. I took my Tag for repair at Royal garden Pattaya ..second floor   there's a jewellery shop with a watch repair guy at the front of the shop ...... As for battery replacement I go to a local guy at the market in Bang Saray he replaces the battery while I wait ...usually cost about 150b  all in ....( never had a problem with compromised seal) he's also repaired the stainless steel wrist strap too when all the dealers said I needed a new strap and they want stupid money to do so. 

  8. Hello All

    Heard Buakoa area is full of dead heads ?

    MMMMM !!!!!! "Dead Heads "  or maybe  " Cheap Charlies"   By the sound of your request you'll  fit nicely into both catagorises ...so Maybe Soi Buakhao should be your destination of choice  ..  or better still go into any 7/11 and  purchase 10 Baht bag Mama and a large Chiang beer the sit on the step outside the shop and fill your belly whilst  watching the world go by with envious eyes.

  10. I have lived in Thailand 10+ years .And periodically through the seasons you will have flies of some description trying their best too annoy you ...Welcome to the Tropics ... 

    Maybe 70th floor of a condo could  be your answer but even that is no guarantee ????

  11. Save yourself a wedge of money.....   Go to your local pharmacy and buy a bottle of 3% hydrogen Peroxide about 30 Baht ... pull  a teaspoon (about 5ml) and swish around your mouth for a few minutes .... just like a regular mouth wash (DO NOT SWALLOW).....spit out and rinse your mouth out with fresh water then brush your teeth ....do twice a day for a couple of weeks or until you are happy with the whiteness you want ..then after that the use Hydrogen Peroxide 2 or 3 time a week  by just incorporate into your usual daily oral hygiene routine to maintain a white bright smile .....It does work ...well it worked for me ...

     

    PS the hydrogen Peroxide does froth on your mouth and increase in volume that is it doing job  just spit a little out if it gets too much  ????.

     

     

  12. Hi all.

    My Mistsu Triton the Sun & heat over the last ten years has slowly destroyed the Paint finish, mainly on the roof and the Bonnet(UK) Hood(USA)....I would like recommendations for a half descent  auto-paint shop for a full respray and a ball park cost ....I am even contemplating getting it wrapped so recommendation and rough cost too would be appreciated too.????

    In the Sattahip/Pattaya area .

    Thank you in advance

    Ok today I went inside the belly of the beast....

     

    My impressions...

     

    First when I travel I like to spend as little time in airports as possible...I did not find the constant announcements that gate 23,25,27 what-ever is boarding for where-ever enduring...

     

    I did like the lay-out of the mall...It has a good atmosphere and some unusual shops...

     

    The food...I would say about 95% of the restaurants are geared towards  Japanese/Chinese/Korean....There must be 20 plus sushi restaurants there.....Very little thought was given to what a farang might like....Well at least they had a Sizzler...A place called Teddys hamburgers looked kind of interesting and maybe a few more....The farangs are low man are the restaurant totem pole there....

     

    The food court was OK....It was almost all Thai food...Yes it was cheap but the portions were not huge either....I had a real good smoothie for 35 baht and a good coconut ice cream for 15 baht.. 

     

    It was pretty busy in the mall today...Loads of grade A prime beef eye candy...Better than the GoGo bars...lol......

     

    One thing this mall has going for it is it has loads of photo-ops..So just this should keep the mall packed with tourist for a long time to come....

     

    Me I think I will partake in a few more smoothies and maybe give some of that eye candy a test run...lol

    Yeah!  I am sure the sight of a farang drinking 35b smoothie whilst holding a melting 15b  coconut ice cream  ..You'll have all the Hi So Bangkok "totty"  queuing up begging you to inseminate them on the spot lol..     

    PS it's a light hearted response not to be taken to heart ????
