30 baht from Pattaya to Bang Saray which is about 1.5 km after the Nung Nooch stop

I do not know if this will help but Makro sell beef and pork Cumberland sausage .They can be found in a freeze close to the milk fridges .I BBQ the pork Cumberland sausage and they are not too bad ...but never tried the beef ..

I Ordered a reverse osmosis filter (5 stage) from Lazada C.O.D 2850฿...came a day early than said which was a nice surprise ...Fitted it this morning anyone can fit it with just basic DIY skills and a few tools ....but be warned the instructions came in Thai ....but saying that which man ever reads instructions anyway :-) ..

Now on the second flushing of the system ..then it should to ready to drink ( hopefully ) .

Update :- My system has now been up and running for 2 weeks ....and I am still alive lol .....TDS reading of the RO water is reading daily at about 0.012 ppm (0.00 to 50 is considered good for drinking ) and the membrane at about 99.98% ....so the water is near as pure as you can get it without distilling it .....I am really impressed with the waters taste and purity ..I would recommend this system now .....BUT it was a giant leap of faith to start drinking the water though :-)

Hello Everybody .

I have to renew both my car & motorbike licenses at the end of this month .

I would greatly appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction as to where to download the relevant application forms for car/motorbike license so that I can print it off and fill in at my leisure before arriving .

I thank you in anticipation

Cheers and have a nice day :-)

RO systems have a motor as they pump in/out through the membrane in the filtration process. Just a very small unit about the size of a Coke can.

Ah. The units I looked at did not have that, even the ones with many different filters, presumably because they did not have RO. I will have another look the next time I go to Tai Watsudu.

I'm still using the 50B big, clear bottles of water. Back in the US, we had a RO system. Worked fine, but that replacement filter was EXPENSIVE! How much are the replacement filters here? Aren't they suppose to be changed every year? Or so????

We've got 5 adults in our house. And use about 4-5 bottles a week. We use it for cooking also. The local water is just too dirty. I see sand coming out fairly often...or even a dirty brown/black. We've got a whole house filter that keeps the big stuff out, but does nothing for the smaller nasties.

Considering how much water we use, I'm not sure an RO could keep up???? We had problems with that in the US. Just ran out of water sometimes. And we didn't use it for cooking. Only for drinking water, ice tea, etc. For a family of 4-5.

The RO system I bought will filter about 50 gallon per day ..but the pressurised holding tank only holds about 1 1/2 gallon that is were the problem is ...I can only suggest that you decant water into one of the large 20 litre bottles and just keep topping it up as the system fills....

as for the replacement filters for the RO system they can be bought at Lazada for around 900b .. the filter can last anywhere from 6 month to 2 years it all depends on the water source quality and amount run through the filter......A TDS meter can determine when the filters need replacing

This Morning 10/9/15 I to when to Bangkok Hospital Pattaya I saw the very nice and professional Dr Anna ..she did a thorough examination of my entire body to check for any suspect skin anomalies..she treated several areas with liquid nitrogen .....and advised me to keep a eye on one spot in particular (for any changes )

Total charge for the excellent service from a well respected Dr was only ฿4505 .....money well spent in my opinion ....better to be safe than sorry and have a whopping bill and or surgery/ chemo at a later date .

I go once a year and paying ฿4505 for " peace of mind" is well worth it .

Hello Everybody :-)

Has anyone on there travels seen a salad spinner for sale in the Pattaya area ...

I thank you in anticipation .

Cheers

OH !! and please no stupid comments .

How do you define a cheap lawyer?

actually the case is really easy. They told me the right price is 10.000 thb but at the moment i did not find any lawyer here will to accept that payment.

Who ever told you the right price get then to do it ..that must be the easiest solution

Before you buy check out youtube on how easy it is to breaking into hotel type safes ...

Had my dog at Border Jacks Resort a couple of weeks ago ( 4 nights only ) ....I paid to have him showered & shampooed just be I picked him up ...... I checked him thoroughly when I got home he had 4 Ticks on various parts of his body .....I checked him before I took him to the kennels and he was totally clear ...( I check him daily anyway as a precaution )

Just a heads up to check you pooch out if you board them at this kennels

Are you going to put it under the rocks? If so, I buy it buy the roll at a local hardware store. It's relatively cheap and so far has lasted about 4 years.

As for rocks, are you talking about the colored rocks you buy by the bag? Black, red and white? If so, the best prices I've found have been down towards Bang Saray. If you head down Sukhumvit, there's one place just before the turnoff for 331, on the beach side, so you'll need to do a U-turn.

Another is past Queen Sirikit hospital, on the left as you are headed south, just past some traffic lights and where the road starts to narrow again. There are 2 plant shops there. The second one has delivered many bags to our house and we've been able to negotiate some pretty good prices. Much better than what you get here in Pattaya.

I can send screen shots from Google earth if you are interested.

Yes please! send me the screenshots .. :-) I live at Bang Saray so all are pretty convenient .

Thank you for taking the time to reply ..Cheers

I am a great fan of the classic American Deli sandwich....I am not from the Good old U.S of A .but I have travelled extensively Stateside ..having road tripped 27 states Key West to the Arctic Circle in Alaska and from east to west coast and lots in between ...so I have had my fair share of Deli delights .....I have to say that the sandwiches I had to day (The Rueben and the Cuban) were very good quality for a Thai Deli type sandwich but I would have been disappointed if I was served them in some of the Iconic deli's I have eaten in over the years .

But having said all that I will eat there again when I want that bloated belly busting feeling .

Hello ..I am looking for a good quality exterior wall paint (Thai not imported) that just might last longer than one year ....any suggestions /recommendations please .

Thank you in advance .

Cheers

I do hope they will stock Christmas puddings and mince pie and crackers ....if they stock nothing else I will be happy

I renewed mine 10 days ago ..nothing changed from last year .....in and out in 15 minutes .....going in the afternoon is a lot quieter

Why not just ask your wife what she would have done with the kids if you were not around.????

probably dumped them with a distant aunt somewhere up country problem solved

thank you for your replies

cheers
