  6. 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
  7. 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 ..
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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...
  11. Every time they open their mouth it causes confusion or thier favourite, Misunderstanding
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. It would be better if they gave the higher quality tourist a higher quality country . nothing high quality about Thailand
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. I had a similar lifestyle to yours until i had a Stroke, a full Stroke ,but minor one, luckily for me with no lasting disabilities.. a 75% blocked Cartoid Artery was found & operated on, a Stent was fitted for better quality of life,... since then, (2 years ago) i have walked every Second day for approx 5 miles (early morning) followed by 40 minute work out. at home.. i still eat sweet stuffs occasionally, but lots of salads veggies & fish, my check up was yesterday, and the doctor said keep up the good work, all levels the same as post operation......Im 75
  21. When i stopped the Asprin No the Vertigo didnt stop its with me 24/7, but manageable using a stick as a third leg, after the stroke the doctor suggested an Ultrasound on my Cartoid arteries, one was found to be danerously blocked at 75%, so an operation & a Stent was fitted to give better quality of life, i take statins to control Cholesterol & a bBood thinner ( Clopidogrel), yesterday was my annual check of everything to avoid another stroke, & good news, eat, & exercise well
  22. How do they account for the "multiple" crashes by Motobikes and Cars smashing into poles holding up electric cables in Chonburi province over the last 14 days due to speeding/ racing.... those that lived blame wet roads.. more idiots
  23. Seven years ago i had a "Well Man" medical at a local hospital they found slightly high Cholesterol levels, the doctor said i should take Baby Asprin, i asked why , she replied that i am at a dangerous age of heart attack/ stroke being 66 ... A few years later i started a vertigo problem & i was told Asprin could be the cause .. i stopped the asprin, 2 months later i had a full, but minor stroke.. now on blood thinners ++ for life
