I have used this firm for a number of years and have never had a problem. Very safe drivers who are never in a rush so makes the journey a fairly pleasant relaxing experience. Prices and car sizes on the site. The Limo Pattaya

Try the link below based in Jomtien near the Hanuman Statue (monkey statue) as I'm sure they had them in the last time I visited. Its on the baht bus route.

The Pantry Expat Food & Beverage - All your home comforts

I have a condo in View Talay 2B and for info the fees are per a room. Nobody will build anywhere near View Talay 2 due to the very large size of the car parks front and back. Its well planted with mature trees with excellent maintenance/security and a very good management/committee team. I only occasionally hear people (generally excited children) in the corridor and rarely hear anything through the walls and its well built. I hope this helps.

I had a stroll along the Dongtan Beach footpath this afternoon, a couple of km north of where I was yesterday, and there were some farangs and Thais in the sea, but in 30 or so minutes of wandering along down there I didn't see any of them clutching their limbs in agony. Does anybody know about jellyfish habits, like are there certain times of the day or states of the tide that they prefer to be out stinging swimmers?

Prolonged onshore wind generally brings them in but tides also play a part and many are seasonal with the rains.

I was in Pattaya in Feb/March 2019 and was ill when coming back to the UK in March 2019 and thought I may have had covid but since I've been in the UK two of my friends have been infected in May 2019 and they were very ill but got over it and I now know what I had was not anywhere near as bad as covid. Now something to be aware of the two friends have had covid yet have been infected again in February 2021 (husband and wife) and one has recovered after being fairly ill but her husband is at this moment in a high dependency ward and luckily today he wife has informed me he has started to turn the corner and is starting to feel slightly better but still very ill. The hospital had asked my friend for permission to intubate him if he deteriorated further so very serious stuff. It appears the old covid antibody's do not protect you 100% from the new strains so beware thinking that you are protected if you have had a previous episode of covid or think you have. I thought I may be loosing one of my oldest friends over the last week so be very alert and wear your mask and gel your hands because this insidious disease is just waiting for you to get complacent as I suspect my friends were thinking they had immunity.

Turn up at the end of the day, when they have open vials that need using or binning, & haggle.  TIT ????

You are assuming they will follow recommended end of date ????

Just up the road from the market which is just across the road from the immigration there are a few barbers.

Safety is proportionally linked to risk irrespective of our thoughts and this applies to every aspect of life (fact). You can take a gamble and win big but the reverse is also equally true. I wish all those buying bitcoin the best but it is inevitable that a currency with no national backing will eventually collapse and I see a scenario where the little people will loose big time and the big boys will coin it in then start the cycle again ad-infinitum. Bitcoin like all other investments can and will eventually be owned and manipulated by the big boys for their personal gain (fact) 

A question that requires addressing is when old bank stationary is superseded by new (bankbooks/paperwork) its a legal requirement that the old stock is destroyed, documented and witnessed to prevent this type of fraud and this is generally managed from head office. The question should be has the bank carried out this legal requirement and if so there will be multiple signature's on the documentation relating to the documentation along with all the destroyed bankbook order numbers, if not why not? I cannot can I see this as a local branch one man operation unless the bank totally fails to carry out its statuary duty? 

How were the bank books updated? if by a bank/branch computer the bank will be fully liable for this act irrespective of whether the bank employee was crooked or not. If the banks computers were used it means there was no auditing of the system which is specifically designed to prevent scams like this by bank employees and is mandatory. There was obviously no double checking by the assistant manager which is also designed to prevent theft by senior staff and is also a mandatory requirement. A whole branch from the assistant manager downward that had no clue what was happening really takes some believing with the mandatory cross checking and internal reporting required in a bank branch. All it takes is one phone call which can be anonymous from any bank employee for this scam to have unraveled yet this did not happen?

If you want to keep abreast of what is happening in the world relating to covid this guy is very intelligent and on the ball and updates a complex subject daily in very understandable way. Well worth watching and will give you an up to date understanding with no political bias.

There appears to be some misunderstanding relating to vaccines there are no crappy vaccines they will all protect you and prevent death. A vaccine can be rated from 60% to 100% efficient and all the efficiency means is (I will use 60% as an example) it will prevent 60% of a group getting covid and the other 40% will get very mild to medium symptoms but it will nearly guarantee that 100% will not get covid that will put them in intensive care. The vaccine will prevent death from covid if passed by the relevant medical authorities.

Peanuts when you consider the UK alone has ploughed in £548m of support for vaccine development. As for AZ not delivering, if the problem is out of their hands, there’s not a lot the EU can do and there will be a clause in the contract and/or insurance to cover it. After all, what would happen if they had to shut the plant due to say a mass outbreak of Covid amongst the key staff? The EU can threaten legal action but if they stop fulfilment of orders to other countries that had placed orders prior to them, the EU is leaving AZ open to legal action from them? There is a legal term (which I cannot remember now) in the English law of tort(?) which covers instances where someone cannot comply with the legal terms of one requirement, purely because it would put them in breach of another. I’m pretty sure that there will be something very similar in international contract law?

All such contracts will include a force majeure clause which essentially means I will agree to supply but there may be problems that are outside of my control (act of god). Vaccine manufacture and upscaling production because of a pandemic will always lead to process problems. In reality the EU 27 countries have collectively put little into preventive vaccine manufacturing compared to the UK. One thing to bear in mind the two French vaccines were a failure which has caused a bit of a panic in the EU and a bit of embarrassment for the French government. I was surprised to read in this mornings paper that the UK has seven vaccine manufacturing plants in full production at the moment with another very large facility coming on line in the third quarter.

truth is that the situation in the U.K. is very bad, and reminds italy in march 2020.

the health system is on brink of collpase, hospitals

are full of sick people, also young, and ambulabces do not respond to calls anymore, or come very late,

the lockdown is for unlimited time, and some experts say only next year, yes, 2022, U.K. will come out

of this mess.

Let's not forget that the average age at death from COVID-19 in the UK is a whopping 82. A nurse being interviewed on TV recently was also called out for claiming that the wards were full of children - apparently, this was a complete fabrication. The vast, vast majority of hospitalisations are the elderly.

An internet attention seeker not a nurse, we have a number of so called on the ground expert reporters spouting <deleted> on Facebook and being given a voice in the UK media due to journalists lacking the ability to use basic investigative journalism. I will rephrase that ''lacking any ability''

I keep reading about Thai doctors telling the general population to stop consuming so much sugar in their diet, as the number of diabetics is increasing alarmingly.

We all know how much sugar is added to Thai food as they do like the sweet taste.

My friend has two members of his wife's family who have fairly recently become diabetics in their forties.

Plus the fact they are getting less exercise now than they used to (not as much manual work as there was)

Its not just sugar its also refined white rice which has a similar effect to eating sugar. Refined white rice as any doctor will tell you is total carbohydrates just like sugar and is a growing menace in the far east causing diabetes at a fairly young age. Look up the history of white rice which is a fairly new food source and the growing obesity in the far east population. I've seen this happening in Thailand over the years (20) I have been here or visiting, initially fat kids or people were a great rarity but not today its not all down to sugar or western junk food there is a far more dangerous unseen problem happening with the Thai population on a daily basis due to eating white/processed rice.

The good news is the Astrazeneca shots only need to be chilled. The bad news is that after two shots the max protection is 70%. So not as effective as the others. 

 

2 shots @ $17 = a few drinks. Better than paying for a hospital intensive care stay?

70% get immunity the other 30% will get a less virulent antibody reaction to the virus with minimum to no deaths, so in effect a life saver for 100%.

Surely the term permanent illegal gambling dens equates to permanent gambling businesses that were making vast sums of money for whoever was in control and whoever was in charge of enforcement. So why was the term illegal in the sentence when everybody knows about them they are permanent so could only exist if the law allows them and obviously the higher up in society are financing and making money from them which to which in my mind makes them legal???

I suspect this should read 11 Myanmar migrants without sufficient monetary incentive arrested in Narathiwat while crossing over from Malaysia. I suspect the reporter missed a bit of important information out ????

@Dialemco

it can only be that strain if someone from the UK brought it here !!

The strains origin is unknown it first appeared in the UK because it is one of the two countries in Europe with the ability to sequence the genome of the virus. In reality it is worldwide as the sample sequenced was from September. The WHO worded their press statement very badly when this was announced and the press as usual changed the word sequenced in the UK to originated in the UK, I wonder why?

At this point, non-profit seems to equate with second rate.

NO! non profit relates to many millions of lives saved who otherwise would be priced out of the market.

The virus itself is a tiny .2 micron...but it has to "piggyback" on larger aerosols and droplet particles expelled from the respiratory system that are floating in the air; the virus itself doesn’t have wings. The masks have to filter out these larger particles in order to prevent virus infection. I agree properly wearing a quality mask is the key.

And more importantly how you take said mask off without instantly transferring filtered droplets onto your hands. Also be very aware that press buttons on ATM's, lifts and any ticket machines are good transmission points, more so with the latest variant of Covid.

???????????? sorry but I could not think of a more appropriate response, if he wore a red nose he could get a job in the circus.
