Agent recommendation Pattaya
bradiston replied to neytil's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Apologies in advance for slightly off topic post, but since you ask! 420/191 is the house number in the Soi/Road/Street. If you drive down almost any Thai Soi you'll see the numbers on the front of the houses. Moo 9 is the sub-sub district if you like, hamlet/village, whatever. It's a sub-district of a Tambon (Nong Prue), which is a sub-district of an Amphur (Banglamung), which is a district in a Jangwat (Chonburi) which is a province. However, the address they give is not very helpful. Soi 15 in Nong Prue could be any one of a hundred sois. They have omitted to give the location of their Soi 15, which, in this case, is the one off Soi Buakhao. So really it's 420/191, Soi Buakhao 15, etc etc. I had to look them up to figure it out on Google maps. So their full postal address, I think, should read 420/191 Soi Buakhao 15 Moo 9 Nong Prue Banglamung Chonburi 20150 In every day usage, Moo 9 and Nong Prue are superfluous. If you know it's Buakhao 15, you'll know where to look. -

Second that. They will do a free 90 day report for you too if you use their visa services. 13/2 also known as Soi Post Office one way off Beach Rd. On the right opposite post office. -

Boris Johnson sound alike -
Yes, I've encountered that in decrypted (hacked) datasets eg a digitised list of UK phone codes.

Pattaya Mayor talks about the future of Walking Street
bradiston replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I think you've got a point. Unearthing the titles to the land on either side of it would I'm sure prove highly revealing. In fact, it should be possible to find out the owners (ie those named on the chanotes) from the land office if you have the title numbers. I wonder how many would step forward and claim ownership of some dodgy title? -
They might be more costly, and maybe more problematic access wise, but I don't think there is a single pedestrian bridge in Pattaya. Not even over Sukhumvit. A ramp would allow access to just about everybody. Ok, they wouldn't look too good on Beach Rd, but on 2, 3 and Nua, Klang and Tai? No need to police them either. And extra space for street vendors!

I drove a cab in London for over 10 years, and believe me, pedestrian crossings really require you to look way up the street repeatedly. Your eyes get trained to pick out the orange beacons, but a lot now don't have them. It means driving with the utmost caution at all times, which, of course, is the only way. Plus, foreign pedestrians will step out looking in the opposite direction. First rule SLOW BLOODY DOWN!

I've only just started with the diet, but the absence of my morning toast is the hardest part so far. I've found various breads online, using almond flour etc etc, but thought now might be a good time to do a spot of baking. Has anyone experience of baking keto bread in a bread baker? Tips, ingredients, advice, make and models etc etc much appreciated!

If they had a Highway Code it might be a start. Overtaking on a pedestrian crossing is a definite nono in the UK. And teach people rights of way. Education, education, education. Anyone that has a licence must produce it at the centre that issues them. They will be issued with a copy of the Thai highway code, which they will sign for. After 30 days they will return for a test. Fail, and you lose your licence until you can pass the test.

COVID Vaccination Experiences - please post here
bradiston replied to Sheryl's topic in Health and Medicine
Had my Moderna booster today, actually shot no. 4, after 2 x Sinovac and an AstraZaneca. Booked it last July and postponed it twice to allow 3 months between 3rd and 4th. Given by Piyavet hospital in Makasan station, 2nd floor. As usual, well organised, no crowds, and the bonus ball was, they update Mor Prom for you while you wait, print out a new certificate, and update your vax passport, if you have one. Total cost 1650, 1200 to book and 450 in the day. Back in July there wasn't much around so grabbed it. If you bought the same deal, easiest route by public transport is Makasan station. I went to Ekkamai from Pattaya, then Asoke, Sukhumvit MRT, Petchaburi MRT. YMMV. -

So what if they said that? They can say whatever they like. What's your point? -

They said the same about the pavements on Tai and elsewhere. Did you read his comments about that complete fxxx up? I posted a link. You think their promises actually mean anything? Do you really have faith in these guys? -

I read it. Do you live there, or nearby? Take a look for yourself. -
The last batch I bought I left on my balcony in sunlight. After about a week they were still rock hard. Losing patience I attacked one with a meat cleaver only to find a putrid mess inside. It had totally duped me into thinking it wasn't ripe. I'm not going to throw good money after bad again. They're either slightly soft when I buy them or I won't get fooled again.
