  1. I'm a private chef. Feel free to dm for info. It depends where you are and how much you need. If it is just for 1 meal, in general I would say villa market or paleo robbie. Makro Is garbage - average. Also the chef should be doing this not the client.
  2. Manage the testing yourself. I have haemochromatosis and need to check iron levels regularly. There is one haematologist on the island of Phuket and she uses google to answer your questions and figure out her treatments. So I stopped seeing her and manage it all myself. Getting a cholesterol test in a lab is a few hundred baht and takes less than a day. If you do there same test in a rort hospital like bkk the same test would probably be at least 2000b. Do the tests and then present them to a real doctor if you need medication or something.
  3. Strange I see lots of markets in Phuket have fake designer goods and have operated openly for decades 😊
  4. Angie taxi 0865758437
  5. 30 years later. Still figuring out how these crazy internets work
  6. If you hang out in these kind of enviroments it is to be expected.
  7. "a young relative claimed to be possessed by Orathai’s spirit, insisting her body be searched for in a pond " Hocus Pocus BS
  8. When can we have an angry emoji? Or maybe a gun
  9. Maybe they should make it app based like Grab. Apps are the only thing that has been able to have any effect on Thailands entrenched taxi "mafia"
  10. I think a bigger issue is hospitals illegally detaining people. I see about one of these stories every few weeks. One I read a couple of days ago: Guy being detained in Phuket hospital, medicated, not allowed access to his phone, not allowed to leave until bill (around ฿ 30,000) paid. However the bill increases each day which is a bit of a catch 22. He was actually reported to police as missing. Of course since he is not allowed phone access he is going to be unreachable (missing) by family and friends. I used to visit the wards regularly to have a procedure done and they are locked. To open the door the nurse needs to touch her bracelet to a hidden point inside the wall next to the door to unlock it.
  11. What a joke. All the reggae bars on the roads in and out of patong sell them. If they wanted to do their jobs they would arrest them all in a day. Arresting this guy achieves nothing.
  12. I remember seeing one for sale in a Thai exotic pets group for a million baht years and years ago. You can buy caracals from a breeder in Bangkok too. If you wanted a lion I don't think it would be difficult to sort out. Not ideal though having a lion in the condo.
  13. For anyone reading this later I ended up getting it done with Issan Lawyers for 6000 baht. You don't need to be in Issan to use them. Happy to pay that price and the service was decent.
  14. I would take his advice. I got quoted over $2000 to get my wisdom teeth out. I literally bought a return ticket to Thailand, had a holiday and had all 4 out (in 2 sessions) for cheaper than that clown quoted me.
  15. Throw them in the bin. A kid with no known iron deficiency doesn't need iron supplements. It is already bad enough that (all over the world) we get many of our foods fortified with iron. Flours, breakfast cereals, bread, for example. As others have said too much iron poisons your organs and can lead to a myriad of other health problems. Maybe the school assumes that most of the students live on low income and eat mama noodles and rice and egg and need a boost. Not really their job to be medicating or supplementing other peoples kids. If you want to be sure go and get her ferritin tested. It is like 4 or 500 baht at the local lab here.
  16. No I was moved to Phuket before your thread. The only reason I was stuck in Pattaya so long is because my wife at the time grew up and had friends and family around there and didn't want to move. Phuket is a different kettle of fish. If I had my way I would live in somewhere like Chiang Rai or Nan or Isaan but most of my work happens in Phuket.
  17. I was thinking this for awhile. Cornwalls ruinous tin mines are being revived since they started mining them for Lithium. Guess where else has a inactive tin mine and could do with another industry apart from total reliance on tourism.
  18. About as useful as that shaman in the news last week with his special licky licky
  19. What is actually different here? You present a passport and if you don't have it you need to present a Thai ID as above. I can't imagine airlines accepting your Swahili ID card or did they used to accept foreign ID's instead of passport/Thai ID?
  20. South Melbourne dimmy better than this dim sum crap
  21. It's definitely a thing with phone apps I think. My SCB app doesn't work at the moment and they don't have online banking anymore. The app always takes offence to my phone settings but the latest error is telling me to turn off my VPN. The VPN wasn't on and I found out the real issue is that I use DuckDuckGo as a browser and it blocks the trackers from the SCB app. Lots of other reviewers complain of similar issues and also the bank disabling their account while it is an issue. Not sure if mine is disabled as I basically had to switch to Kasikorn because of it.
