  1. I tried looking for that, but when it didn't work, I went to Pattaya City Expats Club, but that was no help. I remember many years ago, when there was only one, and we met at a hotel at the end of the beach. Then the executive committee couldn't agree, and a split occurred. I ended up as a Founder Member of Pattaya Expats Club. I haven't been to a meeting for years because of my hearing, but as you reminded me, I am still a member (life membership), and I am going there next to have a look.
  2. I meant illiterate. I don't know what I'm doing apart from the very basics. Email, Word , search. I can write a good business letter and a few other things, but when I have to change things, I am stuck. There must be someone in Pattaya or nearby who will help. Soi 10 is the nearest Soi to Easy Cart on Thepprasit Road. I am quite happy to pay the travel expenses for anyone. I just need help.
  3. I know I've asked this before without getting much help, but I want to try again. I am basically computer literate. I need someone to come to my condo to help me. Company or private individual, I will pay expenses and whatever the company or person charges. I used to load my PC onto my bike and take it to Pattaya, but I don't ride my bike anymore (too old), and I don't have a car. I live in Soi 10 Thepprasit, so it's not exactly out of town. There used to be a company years ago, but they disappeared. I just hope someone can help me.
  4. Bagwwai. Can you tell me the name and cost, or if you don't want to write it here, send me a personal message. This is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you>
  5. Is there an agent in Pattaya who specializes in Driving License renewal who could help me? I want to renew my 5-year licences. I don't have a car, and I don't want to ride my motorbike anymore, but I want to renew my licenses just in case. As always I look forward to your replies Thank you
  6. I lost my passport a few years ago (my own stupidity). So I went to VPS in Bangkok. I found it relatively easy, but all the standing around and the time taken, well, I don't want to do it again as I will 80 when it's due. So what's the best agent to use in Pattaya, or are they all much of a muchness? Thank you in advance for your advice.

    Can anybody tell me a cheap translation service? I don't want a certified service, I know when I want, one I know where to go. Just a service to translate a letter I want to send to my wife. I looked, but every site that came up was about a certified service. Just a cheap, reasonably accurate one.

    I tried that link , but nothing. Any other site like Ladyboy videos works fine, but I don't want to go there; I just want the Pattaya Ladyboy site. Actually, what I really want to know is how Petersi of New bar is getting on with his broken ankle after being involved while on the back of a Bolt rider on 3rd Road.

    After all this time, I am surprised that no one on this forum ever reads Pattaya ladyboy forum. I drink occasionally in a couple of lady boy bars, most of the time I don't they get busy long after I have gone home to drink in bars near where I live But I read the forum like I read The Times and The Guardian to get a different slant on things.I just want somebody to explain why I can access it.

    Ladyboys rob punters, while other ladies are completely honest and would never do such a thing. They get the publicity because it looks good in the newsprint. They are no more honest or dishonest than anyone else. The ones I know would no more go out to Beach Road at night looking for punters than I would. I really just wanted to know what happened to the website.

    I can't believe that no one who reads this forum has any idea about Pattaya ladyboy forum. I have known many ladyboys over the years and stayed friends with some of them. They are not all the thieving bastards the press make them out to be. My wife and I had a very enjoyable evening in Birds Bar last Christmas, and she spent the evening chatting to a ladyboy who I've known for years. I don't judge anybody. man, woman, lesbian, gay ladyboy , I only look at what;s in their heart not at what;s between their legs.

    Does anybody know what's happened to the forum? I click on every few days to look at the 1 or 2 bars I drink in occasionally, but I can't access it.

    Funny enough, after posting this, I remembered that Netflix said that Big C Mini also had their cards. So I went to Big C Mini to buy a bottle of Hong Thong today, and lo and behold, when I said Netflix, the girl knew exactly what I wanted and pointed me to a stand that had a whole load of gift cards, including Netflix. I don't normally shop in Big C Mini, but I guess that will change in the future. 1500 Baht for the card and the Hong Thong was 20Baht cheaper than 7-11. The Big C mini is next door to the 7-11. I just normally go to 7-11 out of habit.

    Due to a slight problem with my bank, I need to buy a Netflix Card. I bought one for 1500 Baht from my local 7-Eleven, but it's due to run out soon. I went back to my local 7-11 but was told "No Have". I have since tried 6 other 7-11s near me, and each time they nearly all said "No Have". Except one, which showed me the rack where the cards would be, but the slot for Netflix cards was empty. Does anyone know a 7-11 in Pattaya that has some in stock? Thanks.
  15. My text messages says valid to March next year.
  16. I have a Wise account which I use for online purchases. So I don't bother with my Thai Bank.
  17. The last few weeks, I haven't been topping up my phone. I usually give to Kia a girl I know, and she goes to a machine and tops it up while I'm sitting in the bar and having a drink, but I forgot. So last night it ran out. So I went on the internet and looked at how to top up using a credit card. Simple. I was thinking of 1000 Baht. It was only looking at the prices I realised if I top up with 1000 Baht, the charge to me was $37 instead of the going rate of $30 (Bangkok Bank rate). I don't mind a commission, but $7 on a $30 spend. So this afternoon I'm going to my normal bar and get Kia to go and top it up for me.
  18. Yesterday I went to BHP about back pain. I could hardly walk. I explained that my back had been playing up lately, and I started taking Ibuprofen and Paracetamol, but these weren't working, and for the last two days, the pain when trying to walk was as bad as anything I've had before. The Doctor, after an X-ray, injected me with KA 90, and I got the two mentioned drugs. I have stopped taking Ibuprofen, but is there another painkiller I can safely take on top of these?

    The GPS on my phone shows exactly where I am. It just seems that the GPS on their phones doesn't.

    I use Bolt. I used to use it to go home after drinking, but just recently I've tried to use it on the way out as well. The problem is that the drivers can't find me. Last night, I gave up and walked to my local bar and had the mamasan book the trip for me on her phone. It came after 3 minutes. I live in a condo on Soi 10 Thepprasit Road. I never had a problem going home, but they can't seem to find the Soi when they are coming to the condo to pick me up. I look at the map to see where the car is, and it seems to go everywhere but Soi 10, but ordering it from a bar on Soi 10, it was there straight away. I have tried contacting Bolt, but that's a waste of time. Is Grab any better?
  21. I use Friendship almost every day. I was using the website to search for different sausages. It was just one of the sites I looked at because I wasn't planning to go shopping that day.
  22. Does anybody know a worse website when searching for a product? Upon entering Bacon, I got 1 reply for Bachelor's Bacon Flavored Noodles. WTF. I tried Meat and got McCormick's Unseasoned Meat Tenderizer. I won't bother in future. You would think that a supermarket with many foreign customers would have a better website.
  23. Apart from Homeland, are there any other pools available to the general public? My grandchildren live with their other grandmother, and I am concerned that they are not being taught to swim. As I live in Pattaya, I want to find out if there are any other pools so I can send some money so they can take them.
