  1. Pupa has been BRILLIANT, My girlfriend and myself have coverage and we have used it numerous times and they have covered more then we expect4ed and have done so in a very timely manner. I hear my friends continually complain about the other companies and some of them now are with Bup and happy they have done so. And actually its not expensive if you compare what it might cost you back home.

  2. The first Go go bar in the immediate area was called Paradise, it was a little further down Soi Buakhao, the owner American Bill, closed it down and then opened Oasis, and since he was run out of town and it has Thai management.

  3. The estate agents concentrate on the easy money that requires no effort and that is Condo's.

    Its in your best interest to Have a Thai put it on the Thai real estate blogs.

    the Pattya estate agents are worthless

  4. Anywhere in the world where there is a lot of ultraviolet light or UV, are areas which will erode plastics faster then in those areas where little ultraviolet occurs, Thus tropical climates have more UV so the plastics erode faster.Next time you travel up coin try stop by a few farm houses and see what they have , most likely wood.

    In my office there are no UV rays.

    So you never open your curtains or doors?, its entirely lit by electric bulbs and never sees the light of day?
  5. I have on many occasions gone to Big C and placed a large order, bought and paid for, with my receipt i have gone to the service desk and asked to have it delivered . They get my address in of and a hand drawn map and my phone encumber and my goods have been delivered within 30 minutes of the time i left the store , unless i was there late. hey have you tie up all the bags and upon deliver you can check your receipt to see if all is there. They will not take frozen or refrigerate3d products for this service.

    To my knowledge you cannot place an online order.

  6. Treatment Plant expansion ? As far as I know there is no functioning treatment plant serving the requirements of this city. I do believe everything goes out into the bay, amazing for a supposedly world class resort. Small chance of one coming into operation too, when the city engineering department cannot even install a storm water drainage system that works sad.png

    there is one small treatment centre at the fire brigade location on 3rd. road. I have no idea how efficient it is, but it has been there for a longtime. It does function as i walk past it from time to time and hear it churning away.

  7. None what so ever...and I don't expect anything different then what they had been doing the past few months. I think someone needs to [police the police. The new Mayor is not Military, although he and his fellow new group of leaders were designated to manage the city my the Military.

    Is the military coming to take over in Pattaya too?

    thailand-military.jpg?resize=300%2C169Not quite, we are told. However, the military are appointing a committee of twelve members, Chanatpong Sriviset, taking over as acting mayor. And that’s all. Instead of an election there will be the appointment of a team of experts, chosen by the military.

    It remains to be seen how that will all work out but, along with the arrival of a new police chief and a promise to clean up the crime rate in the town, there may well be a greater police and/or military presence on the streets.

    Some would say this is a good thing. We are about to find out.

  8. All good questions, First the new form started off last monday so no one would have duplicated a form yet, secondly there is a large room full of people in Bangkok entering the data a photo of them was in the Bangkok post in April or May, when the immigration department made there initial announcement, and lastly , there is no way for them to tell if your giving good information or not.

    I would suggest on what information you do give them that it is accurate. providing wrong information could come back and bite you in the future if the form becomes a regular thing.

    I would only give them information you feel ok in providing, personally they will never get my Bank account, Social networks or places I frequent. the rest is pretty harmless.

    good luck to all

  9. Bruno, Hou are a 100% correct the estate agents here are simply worthless and if you do rent through them you are paying an additional monthly fee to them.

    Your best bet is to first locate an area you prefer and then to ride your motor bike around and look for individual rentals by owners. Its a bit of a hassle but you will save a bit and be dealing in most parts with the actual owners.

  10. OP: I would urge you to be very careful with getting your decision correct here and consider going to Bangkok such as Bumrungrad hospital. I was told by a urologist in Pattaya that I needed a biopsy. This is an evasive and dangerous procedure and often not necessary I researched specialists in Thailand and found one of the top doctors in BKK. He was amazed at the advice I received in Pattaya and recommend non invasive procedure and help. My situation now is fine.

    Good to Know, could you share with us which hospital you went to and the doctors name..Thanks in advance

  11. I was actually expecting it to be sweet. I had mis-remembered and combined your previous posts in my mind and thought you had said the curry was sweet. I took several slow tastes because it was not sweet at all. And, no, I made no special requests when ordering, just pointed to the picture and said I wanted massaman chicken and a Coke Light. Originally I asked for club soda, but "mai mee," so Coke Light was next choice.

    Also, they have free WiFi and you get the username/password from the staff.[/

    Why on earth would you ask for club soda?... It doesn't exist here.

    club soda is everywhere
