For the ballet: International Dance Studio Soi 12 Thepprasit by Tatiana NIKITINA, you have to go inside soi 12 next to the Family Mart and on the right, the studio will be 100 meters on your right. This is in Jomtien and she's a very good teacher.

Welcome to Jomtien.

The way I am reading the original post is that you had gone beyond your "free" parking time and you were evading the parking charge by using the wrong exit. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

In these circumstances the guard was correct to challenge you, but wrong to punch you (IMHO).

 

If you complain to the police you could be in trouble yourself.

No, not at all, I just bought a croissant and was out in 5 minutes. By the way, I don't think there's a sign telling you not to get out this way. Anyway, you cannot evade the parking charge if any because there is another guard for the motorbikes and he would not let you go if you didn't give back the stamped ticket.

70 yo and you still don't know what Entrance and Exit are for ?

I hate people like you who drive wrong way!

I nearly got a bike accident entering in my condo park when some delivery driver exited full speed just in front of me, by the Entrance access!

 

Did you punch his face ?

Bad luck you came accross a security guard who wasn't asleep. Or, perhaps you woke him up, hence his displeasure with you.

Yes, I think you're right because I didn't even notice him at first

I’ve been shopping at Friendship supermarket (Pattaya Thai) since 20 years. They have changed the parking lot and now you must stop motorbikes on the left side take a time and date stamp, have it stamped again by a cashier ( only if you buy something and your product isn’t out of stock) You cannot have a chat if you meet a friend because you’re going to run out of time and who knows what can happen.
I did all this this morning and when I left, I drove through the nearest entrance instead of the Exit way on the left. The security guard (hat, sunglasses and mask) jumped at me and hit me with full power on my left arm in a way to make me loose my balance, which I didn’t luckily. 
I stopped 3 meters away and then he ran again raising his fist so I just drove away because I am 70 years old and not trained to street fighting.
My arm is painful and I have a huge bruise starting to show…

What should I do ? Go to Police ? Have a medical certificate ?
 

Does she needs also her thai drivers license, does it have to be translated in english ?

My Thai wife and I will be going for a one month vacation in USA, I will rent a car and I wish my wife to be an additional driver. What will she need at the rental car counter : thai international drivers license, original drivers license, translation...? And can she gets an international drivers license here in Pattaya ? Thank you for your help.

He killed my friend, 46 years old and father of a 3 years old boy...

I have ordered cologne for $ 60 from USA and it was sent through DHL...now they want to charge me $ 55 on delivery ( the shipping was paid for with the order).

I would rather loose my shipment than pay nearly twice the amount. Is it possible ? Have you done it ?

So does somebody knows about a internet satellite access covering Thailand? Maybe I should subscribe before the single gateway because I don't think VPN will work. We need solutions now, maybe TV won't be allowed later.

This morning 11 a.m. Jomtien beach is empty. Where is the big increase of tourists arrivals announced by TAT ?

They are still cutting down hundred year old trees on Dongtan beach...is there a reason for such an ecological disaster ? This has been going on for several weeks mostly on wednesday (when the beach is "closed") and nobody seems or dare to complain.

You can make the same pictures along Jomtien Beach...a pity.

Can you buy an insurance for the car at the Cambodian border?

I have friends coming for 3 weeks next november. They plan to go to Laos to visit Paksé and surroundings for a couple of days. Will they be able to come back to Thailand ?

Now even some ebay sellers use the "global shipping program"with no additional import charges at delivery. A baby girl's overall is $15 + $26 international priority shipping + $ 26.90 import charges !! I never buy from these sellers and take the chance with customs...most of the time no taxes through post office.

My wife needed a spine MRI, quotations were:

BPH 23000 THB

Samitivej Sriracha 32000 THB

Pyathai Sriracha 9500 THB no appointment necessary.

I think also that there is First, Business and Economy...same flight but not same luxuries

Didn't ask PIH

"there will be no overlapping of BIG C and carrefour branches since they aim to different consumer groups.

It will take 6 months to a year to re brand all Carrefour stores into Big C "

HOW CAN THEY AIM TO DIFFERENT CONSUMER GROUPS IF THEY ARE ALL RE BRANDED INTO BIG C ?

THREE BIG C's IN PATTAYA JUST ONE OR TWO MILES APART SEEMS A BIG OVERLAPPING TO ME.

I GO TO CARREFOUR MOSTLY FOR CARREFOUR'S BRAND PRODUCTS, ONCE THEY'LL BE GONE I WILL BE GONE ALSO.

I will be driving to Chumphonburi next week and I am looking for a Guest House or Hotel in that area: ChumphonBuri, Tatum, Satuk, Buriram Airport..........

Thanks

Hi,

If I want a cheap international call using my one2call prepaid card, I have to dial 009 before the country code. But if I am in Europe and want to use my one2call sim card for calling Thailand, is there also a way to have cheap calls ?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm planning to buy a new motorbike instead of renting one (I spend 9 months every year in Pattaya) I saw nice ones at Carrefour and I think they should be reliable. But I'm wondering if I will have a hard time for registration and if I will be able to have it insured ?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm planning to buy a small motorbike instead of renting one. I saw nice ones at Pattaya's Carrefour (and at least there's no need to bargain) but I wonder if there's a lot of paperwork for registration and will I be able to have it insured ?

Thanks
