Since you have a picture of a dog as your avatar, I'm assuming you're a dog lover.

Perhaps you can volunteer in one of the animal shelters around Pattaya.

I'm sure they can use an extra hand.

Thainess in its trueest form!!!

This tattoo should turn out nicely...

I'm not an expat and only come to Pattaya for a 30 day holiday once or twice a year, but I always stay in VT6. I like the location very much.

As KittenKong mentioned, buying on the south side before knowing what's (one day) going to be built on the large vacant plot next door, is dangerous.

An alternative would be a condo on the north side on a high floor (22 or above), more at the back of the building, avoiding the ridiculous Hilton on top of Central Festival.

There are some 1 bedroom units available in VT6 (and I don't mean double units).

They are located at the emergency exits.

Perhaps you should visit VT6 and have a look at the floor plan.

I vote that Jingthing should be appointed advisor to Maj.Gen. Nat Intarajaroen on this matter.

I had the same problem with a car some time ago.

In the end, we left the car with family in Phakdi Chumpon.

Bad idea; they drove the car without a drivers licence (and consequently without insurance).

Luckily nothing bad happened.

Khun Somai should have known better than to get angry at a group of drunken Thais.

Hope he recovers and the police find the "security guard".

Does a foreign pickpocket need a work permit in Thailand?

Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

He can't get a work permit.

This profession is reserved for Thai in Thailand.

Shows your IQ.....

My answer to your post was deleted by the mods, so I'll use your words now:

Shows your IQ ... that you are not able to understand sarcasm.

Or do you actually think Siamtwin's question and my answer were meant seriously?

Try Pat from Pimonphan Home Design.

She has a shop in View Talay 6 and does curtains.

I have rented holiday condos from her, but never ordered curtains.

Perhaps other BM's living in VT6 can tell you more about her curtain business.

3 words: som nam na!!!!!

Try Pat at

She has a shop in VT6 in the corridor walking to the elevators from 2nd Road.

You can all say what you want, but I would marry her!!!

And you are all invited to the wedding!!!!

Remember, after New Year, there's Valentine's Day, Songkran, Easter, Loi Krathong and many other Buddhist holidays where she'll remind you it's a "gift giving holiday".

If you start with gold, it will never end.

My friend owned a registered Colt 1911 .45 ACP in Belgium.

He moved to Thailand with his wife and daughters 7 years ago and wanted to import this gun.

The ampheu refused a gun permit because .45 ACP is considered "war ammunition".

He contacted a lawyer who confirmed the "war ammunition" limitation and also warned that, as the gun would have to stay with customs for months, it could suddenly "disappear", never to be found again.

He sold the gun thru a gun dealer in Belgium and now has a registered Glock 26 9mm in Thailand.

I've decided not to make Thailand my home.

A few years ago, I was thinking about it.

I have 3 good friends who have actually done it.

1 was only 50 years old when he burned his bridges in Belgium and is now a pineapple farmer in Ratchaburi.

The 2 others were already retired but were both caught by the Belgian sick insurance for being outside of the country permanently. 1 was able to get a private sick insurance in Thailand, the other is living without sick insurance.

Funnily enough, their 3 Thai wifes are saying they will come back to Belgium when their husbands have died.

I've decided that I will 'overwinter' in Thailand for 3 months (January till April).

I have paid too much tax and contributions to let my pension and sick insurance slip away.

Another thing is that the atmosphere towards farang is changing for the worse in Thailand. I came to Thailand for the 1st time 35 years ago and there is a big difference in attitude nowadays.

Stayed there during my 1st holiday in Thailand in 1978.

Even then, 500 baht joiner fee!!!

Many articles on ThaiVisa about these guys coming out and catching snakes.

Thailand, the hub of road rage.

I'll pass. Thank you.

I'll probably never see my car again, lost in the automated car park.

On top of that, it looks like a playground for thieves.

I saw pictures of the damages to the beach by the rains from a few weeks ago.

These bags are not going to stop the water storming down the sois between Second road and Beach Road to the sea.

The bags will be gone in no-time.

Happens in Europe also, it's all about getting the customer into the store... what the Thai employees don't understand / don't care about / are too lazy to do is take the opportunity to try and sell you an alternative product... which in Europe would definitely happen.

What angers me much more is the "no can do" answer when you definitely know that they could do but just don't want to do something.

The last time it happened was yesterday in Power Buy. I wanted the Brother laser printer they had on the shelf, but after I was told that they "no hab" the guy wanted to sell me another model for 2000 baht more.

Yes, Power Buy in Central Festival is very good at "no hab".

They have many cell phones on display, but when you want to buy a specific model, it's "no hab".

There also seems to be some laziness involved because, when you ask another sales lady, it happens that the required article is magically in stock.

Perhaps it's even a language problem: I get "no hab" but when my Thai wife asks, it's suddenly in stock. Had this experience in May with an LG L7 II Phone.
