  1. I hope this will yield something. My son-in-law, let’s call him Chai, has had many problems, mainly alcohol and, sometime, ya ba. He’s fourty, looks okay, hardly ever works, and at some point, on his last legs. He calls his mom, my wife, many times every day complaining. So many excuses. Anyway, what can be done? He lives in Phitsanulok. Is there some place to go in pursuit of sobriety? Every day, my wife listens for hours (no exaggeration) but her advice isn’t listen to. At all. Is there a wat that would take him? A place whose authority would help bring him straight? He is near Bang Rakam. Cheers
  2. I went to iCare in Central Festival, fourth floor, south side for some iPad work. I saw this notice for on sale iPhone batteries - looks good.
  3. Found it on the Bolt app. Patience needed.
  4. Hong Kong Wok in Pattaya- where is it? My googling turns up nada.
  5. My problem is solved. I chose to not go to Tuk Com 1st floor or east side because I doubted if I could find a qualified place. I called the IOS Restore Pattaya iPhone store, they charged 1,200 Baht 1 year warranty for a 6 Plus battery. I took Bolt to the store, had to pay 1,300 because it was actually a 6s plus model (6 years old too). The technician was really good, his English was excellent, and the work was done quickly. BTW, I was told by that Studio 7 place it would be at least 2,000. Thanks again for all the positive comments and suggestions, especially to PPGuy whose advice was bang on.
  6. I do well with Lazada. My difficulty is pairing the watch with my iPad. I looked up Huawei Oppo instructions. I downloaded the only Huawei app that Apple shows. I turned on Bluetooth. I tried to pair with the watch. A six digit code came up on the iPad but the watch didn’t give me an opportunity to enter that code. iPad dropped the watch link to be. The online instructions said after linking the watch to it I could choose its language and change default settings. So, since I can’t read the watch, I can’t find its Bluetooth section. Ugh.
  7. Thanks PPGuy. If Tuk Com can’t help, I’ll follow that map, Do you have the name or specific location of the 1st floor place?
  8. Hi BigStar, I jumped on the ‘fitness wristwatch’ and it just came in. Apparently if I complete the online login the info is in Spanish, and on the watch itself the icons are in Thai. Maybe too good to be true.
  9. Thanks Bruno, I’ll give them a look.
  10. Where should I get it? I’m in South Pattaya, near Tuk Com and a Baht bus to most places.
  11. I haven’t, knowingly, ordered that boring red since Cherry’s featured it.
  12. I thought Legend’s prices were good, given the quality of the food and atmosphere. It wasn’t crowded because many took sidewalk seats. Okay wine.
  13. Wasn’t it the 99 baht place? Great minestrone and excellent frito misto. Salad good, service too. Don’t remember liking the pasta. I hope it will be the same.
  14. I use them when (I think) my top of foot-ankle edema shows itself. I wear them for a day or two or three. Always works. Edema comes back days or weeks later.
  15. I (77 years old) have been ridiculously idle in the past two years. I blame Covid, lack of drive / laziness. Previously I walked everywhere, hiked and was out and about. My wife, is a stay at home girl, except for shopping. Anyway, about a year ago I wasn’t able to get up into a Baht bus, even with that lady pushing my butt. This week I am on a visit to her family’s ti baan, all entrances have wooden staircases. Now I need a rail on one side and a hand on the other. People help me get up from the floor. It’s time to get back in shape. I have spoken about my issue, briefly, a year ago to my doctor at a well known Pattaya hospital. He said exercise (the gyms were closed, too darned hot many months, put it off). I went recently again and he just nodded his head. Is there a specialist here in Pattaya or in Bangkok I could visit? In these Covid days, is it safe to go to a gym? Should I get an elliptical machine for my condo? Personal trainer-motivator? looking forward to the comments. Thanks.
  16. KannikaP and billd766 - thanks for the info and disappointment, haha. Cheers.
  17. Oh yeah, I haven’t used them since Jan 2020, and there have been a lot of changes I guess.
  18. I’ve tried Air Asia - on line and their app recognizes me, quotes prices in MYR and Malaysian currencies, but totally frustrating and no answer to my question. Your experience, please.

    Pattaya Underpass

    Remember, years ago, before the tunnel was finished, all those arm chair engineers who predicted flooding, really just sneering at actual Thai engineers. It was unpleasant, close to racist.
  20. The lack of an antidote is my big concern; I’ve need a vitamin K shot before - easy.
  21. Good to read. Too bad there’s no absolute truth. I’ll call for prices tomorrow.
  22. Thoughtful, Ozimoron. I’ll need to read again, tomorrow. Thanks Oz guy.
  23. Gargamon, boy, do I need this feedback. Cheers.
  24. Thanks Sheryl. Lots of reading for me coming up.
