Small clinic on the left side of Soi LK towards 3rd. Rd., just about 50 m before you hit 3rd. Rd. Very nice and friendly Dr., studied in Philippines. Ask for a quick check and a simple certificate. He is very fair and speaks fluent E. Walk-in.

Did not miss anything. Pattaya's so called tourist attractions are rubbish and won't ever come close to international standards. Especially sad and disappointing the total lack of respect for nature on any level. PF.

My first answer to OP would be "no".

Most people I met were a waste of space and time.

But then I think the people I would like to make the acquaintance of are those who do not want to network because they don't need to network to be successful.

Most "networkers" I met during the past 20 years were very superficial sweet talkers with no added value whatsoever.

I am an independent webmaster.

Fully agreed...Most businesses have a bloody hard time to find a reliable IT company with even basic trained technicians. Wanna do business try Bangkok. Pattaya attracts the wrong people, o.c. there is exceptions....Good luck. PF.

There certainly is some good stories happening every and it is nice to point them out. Just sad, that just about everything has turned so negative during the last 10 years. I remember my first few years about 20 yrs. back on Samui. What a difference. PF.

check out their monthly rates. 2 pools, gym and much more..

Dear readers

Can anybody point me to a bank that will issue a credit-card or debit-card in conjunction with an account. I need a card mainly to pay online, also while travelling abroad and for withdrawals and hotels payments etc.

I need a card that works reliable and is not setup with a phone sms confirmation code. Therefore Kasikorn unfortunately is not suitable.

Would maybe Citibank or Standard Charter provide?

I don't have a WP, am retired on a 1 yr. extension. Thank you for any advise. PF.

Hi there:

Could anybody recommend a POS with a local service back-up. Also, does anybody know a local computer / software guy who can service / upgrade an existing POS system?

Thank you. PF.

Thank you all. PF.

Hi there anybody knows the approx. rice or has a ling to a site with prices in Thailand? Thank you. PF

Hi there:

I need a quick fix on about 4sqm of drywall total. All ready with alu in place. Should take them max 45 min. Anybody knows of a local contractor who would come in on short notice. Not a difficult/cosmetic job, as just a storage area. No need to paint.

Thank you very much. PF.

Hard to find, really. But there are...

Well done...I know several people who try to warn people whenever possible...

Business as usual opp. Mike Shopping... 2 scams with 2 resp. 3 guys between 17.30 - 18.15

Dear all:

Anybody with experience or feedback on this subject. Investigating options to install in large condo Central Pattaya. Cable provider in area only SOPHON with dismal record.

Anybody has better ideas? Thank you.

matter of interest, how many people here actually rents jet ski's ??

i have never done so but have rented plenty of bikes and my experience with them is, return with no damage, no problem... return damaged and expect to get shafted with an massive repair bill plus loss of rental.

TBH, I expect it is the same with jetskis but it has been so dramatized with thick stupid tourists who have smashed up a jetski and think a couple a quid will sort it out or even thicker tourists who don't check/mark damage before taking jetski out...really don't see why all the TV keyboard warriors are getting all worked up when there are more serious issues in Pattaya like the beach-chair, baht-bus, taxi-bike, mafia scams ongoing

I'm sorry but this is just not true.

I must have seen over 100 scams go down

True maybe 2-5% had badly damaged the ski I'm sure it cost them BIG time.

Maybe another 30% minor damage usually the front bumper or very minor scuff This must cost all of a couple of hundred Baht, but have seen tourists forced to pay 20-50k thats £500-£1000, for what it essentially wear and tear.

5 times I have seen customers turn the ski over, this should be no problem this is what they are designed for NO DAMAGE but oh no of course water go in engine BIG PROBLEM seen customers pay 30K for this and ski was on the water next day.

This leaves over 50% I cant see any damage we are talking BS 10-30K a time for NO DAMAGE.

This is big money with threats of violence intimidation basically AGGRAVATED THEFT MUGGING for 10's thousands Baht.

Make no mistake it is BIG money and this is why it continues despite the bad publicity and will continue for as long as it can possibly be continued.

Yes, fully agreed. Seen 100's of them. In high season they call them back within a few minutes often and start the scam...It is beyond me how some people o these forum can defend these scumbags and try to find excuses for them. Many good people had their vacation destroyed and these low lives laugh their asses off after getting their dough. Disgusting. PF.

Just back from beach. No action near Miked shopping. Only 1 ski rented out. A lot of pissed off faces and nasty figures....Further down, just before Hard Rock, business as usual...A group of 5 Thais yelling at 4 Indians and pointing out imaginary damages on 3 skies, which looked at least 10 yrs old and nasty already. 2 look-outs on the walkway which did not like me going down close up to watch....The number 30'000 fell several times and when they did not understand they showed it with their fingers.. Nothing ever changes...PF.

Try the pump / hardware etc. shop almost at the top end of North Pattaya Rd., just beyond the bus station, same side. Interested to find a small, cheap compressor, too for my various bikes. Thanks.

upcountry - just quoted - 2.5m high, well built with drainage, ankered deep etc. 800/running meter, unpainted but rendered.

It opens as fast as always with my Core i7 / 8 Gig Ram Toshiba & 12MB BBB Adsl account. I am using Chrome on Windows 7. I have heard from friends with Apple products, that they resolved similar problem by -re-installing their browser or using another browser. Try a couple of different WIFI hotspots, compare with another laptop and you should know if the problem is with your notebook. Good luck.

Have you tried the Natural Health Store, just about opp. Best Supermarket on Pattaya Nua, a bit up from the Circle?

Pattaya2you / 3rd. fl. Tukom, best place in town. 300 Baht, only if problem resolved.

180 days to let the public forget about it, is what it sounds like to me. Why not a reasonable 30 days to fix the problem and a forced closure if not fixed?

BTW, does the new Tiger have this same foam?

No, concrete...Just seen it last week, also the new venue under construction....And these new tigers look great....

Great to see some guys with a sense og humour on the Pattaya forum! Usually this is one of the most aggressive and "unhappy"/miserable" men's forums...

Compared with others on Thaivisa, which are much more positive and friendly.
