  1. Thailand has a good reputation for build quality ?? Quality what ?, I've never seen anything built "quality" since i have lived here
  2. Knowing this government, one day it will be recognised the next day something different for sure
  3. The Japanese believe sitting on the floor while eating helps to increase blood flow to the stomach, therefore digest food more easily
  4. The Gulf of Thailand is not swimmable for me too many ear infections ++++
  5. Just bought a new Suzuki Swift , very happy with it as a runabout in town , Sriracha offers a better price than Pattaya
  6. The hardest part is gathering the necessary documents that you will need
  7. I would like to find a seamstress that takes pride in the work
  8. These Tailors may send the orders to the Indian owned workshops, but its Thai's ( that i have seen ) doing the sewing, maybe im just fussy, but Shirts, Trousers, Suits that i have had made, the quality is ok ish, but the workmanship is not good.... zero attention to detail
  9. I highly recommend "Medisafe" they are an online Pharmacy company based in Bangkok thay are much cheaper (for me) than any high street Pharmacy.. you can talk to them via Facebook they seem to be online 24/7 they speak excellent English, & they deliver once a month to your door throughout Thailand.... cash on delivery, any medication i have asked for has always been delivered even pills for my dog ..
  10. I have car cams back and front ..I was taild ended by Thai driving his pick up, he was not insured not taxed too, and surprisingly he called the Police i called my Insurance The end of the story was that after much conversation between my Insurance, the tail ender, and the Police, they said i was the reason for the accident because i had stopped to quick, in an emergency braking situation....I had to pay for my own damage, his Vios was a write off
  11. I've lived here long enough to know the police wont help. plus the fact i didnt call the police the Thai rubber neckers did......but when driving a vehicle on a public road i would expect even thai police to give at least a warning to anyone without a licence
  12. Prostitution the world over, when women (and men) need quick money they turn to selling sex, Maybe more so in Thailand due to the low wages paid, and lack of social security is why people have to sell their bodies...
  13. Every time they open their mouth it causes confusion or thier favourite, Misunderstanding
  14. In my case class 1 insurance stops when your vehicle reaches 7 years of age, i was told 3rd party only after 7 years with a top up to reach same as class 1 .....crazy ideas
  15. After having a Stroke the Doctor at Bangkok Pattaya H ospital said i need to have Ultrasound tests on my Cartoild Arteries in my neck they were found to be 75% blocked and needed a Stent fitted, a Neuroseurgeon ( Neurologist ) was the man who performed the operation in Bumrungrad hospital, I was told Neurosurgeons are few and far between in Thailand
  16. A friend had a similar experience he asked the doctor not to laugh when he showed his problem, the doctor said in all his years he has never ever laughed at a patient... The patient dropped his trousers, the doctor couldnt resist laughing at seeing such a tiny penis , but quickly composed himself and asked so, what is the problem? The patient replied...." its swollen" ........the doctor disappeared lol
  17. Chang is good but became to gassy i switched to singha light (my beer) after 1 year of comparing the 2 im going back to chang
  18. I had a collision with a bike and side car while driving my truck, she pulled into my path she was blinded by her umbrella obscuring her vision... locals called police ....i asked to see her driving licence vehicle tax, etc she had no licence, no tax, and no money to pay for the damage to my truck , the police did nothing .....as usual
  19. It would be better if they gave the higher quality tourist a higher quality country . nothing high quality about Thailand
  20. I just had the same financial experience with Eartone, new circuit board on a Hearing aid bought from them 14 months ago 9000B When i have Ear problems i go to see the Professor at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital she travels from Bangkok twice weekly , or used to do.. she seems, in my experience the only one who knows what she's talking about............The ENT department there have an Audiologist and all the testing gear needed .... i know they also get visits from hearing aid suppliers from Bangkok ..the clinics around the town are staffed by what they call Techincians...... i would 'nt trust them with a hearing test
  21. My balance with never restore due to losing my hearing overnight that is connected to a war pensions thing, nothing to do with stroke.. Re; The operation for blocked artery .i live in Chonburi so i went to the Bangkok pattaya hospital to find a Neurologist surgeon ..and a price, the surgeon i found said he had'nt performed many operations of this kind which obviously made me nervous, and i said good bye, he quoted 500, 000b with zero complications and a 2 night hospital stay.. I researched all day and i found what i think is the best man for the job In Bankok he is Doctor Roekchai Tulyapronchote Neurologist, ph; 02 011 3995..02011 2222 he said he has performed hundreds around the world USA Middle east, he is at Bumrungrad hospital NANA area of Bangkok ,he too quoted 500,000 for a 2 day stay But i had extra time in ICU due to a very low blood pressure. & 100,000 was added.. Neurologist surgeons peforming this operation are few and far between here i feel great since that operation called Angioplasty Cartoid Angiogram .good luck
