Just for information, i go to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital every 6 months and pay 2 separate charges as one appointment is more thorough than the other (includes drops and field tests) 1210baht and 2860baht respectively (for high pressure/glaucoma)

I did make the mistake Once of asking the Doctor if he could get me Xalatan or latanoprost cheaper (than Fascino)...."dont tell anyone else he whispered" i kept my word and didn,t as when i came to pay it was 1213baht for the same eye drops that were 780 baht......thanks for that.????

Can you tell me which doctor you saw and if you would recommend him? I suspect I have Uveitis, but uncertain. 

Ideally one that speaks good English. The last eye doctor I saw there had a unreassuring bedside manner. I just turned up and saw who was avaliable.

Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies. I don't need an operation as far as I know!

If I did then maybe I would look at going to Bangkok.

Over the years in Pattaya, I have been to the International hospital, the government hospital on Soi Buakhao, and Bangkok Pattaya on Sukhumvit for various ailments.

I know some consider Bangkok Pattaya to be the "best" hospital in Pattaya. 

However, the last eye doctor I saw at BKK Pattaya didn't make me feel at ease at all, and his diagnosis seemed dubious. 

Can anybody recommend a good eye doctor at one of these hospitals?

Thanks :)
 

I am visiting a hospital in Bangkok. Staying there two nights this week.

With Bangkok being a red zone and Pattaya being an Orange zone.

Are there any restrictions travelling back from Bangkok to Pattaya? Where can I find the latest information?

Planning to use the buses from Ekkamai.

Thanks.

Also curious about buses from BKK to Pattaya and vice-versa.

With Bangkok being a red zone and Pattaya being an Orange zone.

Is there any red-tape travelling from BKK to Pattaya using the buses from Ekkamai bus station?

Apparently the torch was a a novelty cigarette lighter shaped like a gun.

There is a video of his arrest here: https://youtu.be/Yd5PCwLDDIA 

Thank you both for the replies. Still searching around, asking Pattaya Move for a quote.

I need to hire a standard van & a couple of helpers to move from Central Pattaya to Pratumnak.

Can anybody recommend a moving company that they have had a good experience with?

So far I got a quote from Allied Pickfords who want 10k+ for their smallest transport option which seems overpriced.

I was just looking at J & E: https://www.conciergepattaya.com/moving-house-relocation-pattaya/

Seems reasonable starting at 800b + 200b per helper. Obviously I don’t know the details or their reputation.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance ?

Thanks for the reply KittenKong.

Apparently there is already a formal written complaint filed with city hall.

Technically they are not breaking any laws, they can make as much noise as they want until 2am. It's rare that it stops at 2am though, normally extending by 20 or 30 minutes most nights.

The bass is really is intolerable and the karaoke painful.

The only course of action is that people who are affected call the city hall hotline 1337 directly when the noise is happening.

So if you are affected by either 8 Bit or the club next door Fahrenheit please express your displeasure by calling the number above.

The more people the better.

Located on 3^rd road opposite Soi PP (soi 21).

I was wondering if anybody can shed some light on the petition mentioned here in the Pattaya Mail:

http://www.pattayamail.com/mailbag/8-bit-disco-188047

I would be very happy to sign this petition. Quite simply 8 Bit Bistro is like a turd that won't flush.

Consistently playing excruciatingly abhorrent music every single night especially from 10.30pm to 2.30am for many months now and getting progressively worse.

Situated a stone's throw from a residential area. This venue actually has no back wall to contain any of the very loud noise and bass it produces.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a reason why China doesn't give Thai visas? Do you have first hand experience of this?

I am not Malay national but I got a tourist visa in Malaysia.

 I did mean the multi-entry visa

Thanks

I am looking to travel to Chengdu in China for a week in December. Is it possible to get double entry tourist visas for Thailand there?

 If so what documentation would I need?

I have checked their website http://www.thaiembassy.org/chengdu/ but there is no English version.

If anybody is in the know or who has successfully obtained a tourist visa there I would appreciate any help

Thanks in advance :) 

I have been using The Pattaya Limo for 6 years now and have been paying 1200b all that time. I have noticed they have just hiked their prices to 1500b for a journey to downtown Bkk.

Who else offers a reliable taxi service for less than 1500b?

Has anybody tried http://www.pttaxiservice.com/ & can vouch for them? Only 1100b to Bkk according to their website.

Thanks!

Her maybe....https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sharkhelmetsthailand/128089083923280

Thanks for the reply. I've checked that out before I started the thread.

Looking for somebody who has bought a helmet first hand and can recommend a shop...

Google Panda Rider. They are in BKK and have a lot of helmets etc

Thanks for the reply. According to their website they don't stock Shark products.

I am looking to buy the Shark RSJ in white... http://www.shark-helmets.com/product.php?code_sous_gamme=RJ3

Which stores are most likely to have it in stock on the day of purchase? I am located near the Asok BTS.

Thanks in advance

As the manual in post #3 says:

Tire air pressure (measured on cold tires):

Front: 225 kPa (2.25 kgf/cm2, 33 psi)

Rear: 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm2, 36 psi)

yes, thanks

Manual attached

Manual Nouvo SX.pdf

Thank you very much, I couldn't find this anywhere. Where did you find it?

I own this bike but I don’t have the owner’s manual and I can’t find it online.

What are the correct operating pressures for both tyres as stated in the manual?

On the tyres it says 40psi for the rear and 33psi for the front but this is the maximum pressure rather than the operating tyre pressure.

If anybody who owns the Yamaha Nouvo SX (latest Nouvou model) can help…

Thanks in advance

I don't know the type of helmet you're looking for specifically but earlier today I passed by what used to be the Mityon shop on the corner of 3rd Road and Soi Lengkee (almost opposite Boxing Roo Bar and New York Pizza) and it's now called X-Speed and seems to be focused on custom bike building/parts/supplies. They had 3 very nice looking bikes outside - a Honda, a Kawasaki and a Ducati - all around 850 or 900cc with what looked like custom paint jobs. They also have what looked like a reasonable selection of helmets - https://www.facebook.com/635378919857963/photos/pcb.747554745307046/747554661973721/?type=1&theater

I don't know if these are the kind of helmets you're looking for but in any event if you're into bikes I reckon this shop is worth a visit.

OP: If you really can't find you're size here, why not buy online from the link that you posted?

Thanks, I will have a look tomorrow. The link I posted is for the manufacturer's website, they don't do direct sales from there. I was having a look for online delivery but haven't managed to find any sites as yet.

On 2 different occasions I bought from them direct as could not find the correct size - extra 200 Baht for postage but very quick.

Trying to order now. I seem to be having trouble finding the checkout on the website!

The Kawasaki shop on Sukhumvit between Pattaya Klang and Pattaya Tai, heading south, has a good range of Real helmets. I bought my G-Force there and they had them in various sizes.

They may have yours.

Thanks for the reply. I actually tried the Kawasaki shop on Sukhumvit not the Suzuki shop, my mistake. They didn't have the right size.

I am trying to buy the Real Comfort helmet in a small size. Where do they have a large selection of these bike helmets?

I have tried the following places but none of them have the helmet in a small size...

Suzuki shop Sukhumvit

Honda shop Sukhumvit

Mai Thai soi Buakhao

GT Rider Pattaya Tai

Shop on corner of Khorpie/Pattaya Tai

Honda shop on corner of Arunothai/ Pattaya Klang

Mityon shop corner of 3rd road/Pattaya Tai

Thanks in advance

Channel 7, also know as chong jet see, Sunday afternoon 2 o'clock.

If in Bkk head out to their studio at Mor Chit and watch it for free.

Thanks!

When is the show "Thai Fight on?" Its Saturday, but what time and channel?

What channels, days and times do they show muay Thai on TV is Thailand?

The only show I have managed to catch is "Thai Fight" which I think airs Saturday evenings. I'm not sure which channel it was.

Thanks for any help
