What about the bikes for rent on Beach Road? Pattaya passed a new Bylaw some years ago banning the rental bikes on Beach Road at the weekend. At some parts of Beach Road they take up all the available parking places on the east side of the street. The police do nothing, but the traffic police in Pattaya don't even do anything about moving traffic offences.

The other day (planning ahead), I thought of a nice stew topped with Dumplings for a change. In Pattaya, we are spoilt for choice of shops. So on my next shop, I went to Friendship and looked for Self-Raising Flour. They didn't have any, I know they used to. So onto the internet. Villa has it. The following day I called into Best to buy my wine and check their flour. Nope, so on to Villa. Guess what, they didn't have it either. Back on the net, I checked Tops as I had to go to Tuk.com. Yes, they do stock it. Liars. So this morning, as I was going to 3BB on Thepprasit I checked the net again for Lotus's. Yes, and they stock 3 different makes. Wow. I thought they must have at least one. Wrong again. I didn't think I could get angry over a stupid thing like Self Raising Flour! Before anybody adds a comment. I know I can make it myself but over the years I have always bought it.

Stll tying to contact Vandk, but messages wont let me send one. Anybody got a suggestion?

What I should have added is that I've sent a few messages and received them back over the years and never had a problem reading one before.

Vandk. I don't know why I'm having such problems but if you are in Jomtien tomorrow (Thursday) I will be in the Birds Bar in Soi 7 at 4 o'clock. I will be wearing a black shirt (Callaway) and will probably be sitting at the bar. As the bar is Danish opened I thought you might know it.

Vandk. I sent you a message yesterday.

I have a problem with my computer, well , it's not so much with my computer it's with me. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm 78 and my knowledge is very very basic. My internet feed is as fast as ever, but only use it for simple things. When I lost HD Prime I thought it would be simple to replace. So the other day I downloaded Wizz and Surfshark , signed up for a year for one and 3 years for the other. All well and good but when I tried to use them I couldn't. I don't know what to do. I need somebody to come and work their magic so I can use them. Telling me what to do doesn't help. Payment is no problem. I live in a condo just off Thepprasit Road. Can anybody help or knows somebody who can. I'm deaf so a phone call doesn't help. With F1 just starting and the IPL coming up soon I hope some body can.

The signage is perfectly adequate. The problem will be in a few weeks when they stop enforcing it. Like they did with the bylaw that stated no rental bikes on Beach Road at the weekend. Drive down Beach Road now at the weekend and see the hundreds of rental bikes taking up all the parking places. At Beach Road between 13/3 and13/4 I've even seen the servicing the bikes on the road.

Can anyone tell me the best way to get Proof of Life certificate signed.

Can the Juristic person at my condo sign ?

To save me reading through 35 pages of posts can somebody tell me the best place in Pattaya to get my Proof of Life signed. Thanks

Anybody out there who uses 3BB GIGA and can tell me what channels are shown on 3BB Sports 1. Thanks.

I will be staying there. I was just hoping that something had changed since the last time I stayed in Phetchabun.

I will be staying in Phetchabun in a couple of weeks time can somebody tell me a good Sports Bar and also if any Sports Bars are suitable for young children ( Wife's granddaughters). Thank you.

Think about it. If the police arrest her they would have to take her to the station. Fill in loads of forms and then go to the court. All that work. Just let her go. Job done.

Any updates on buying high fiber bread in Pattaya

I would have said any car owned by a Thai knowing how much they care about maintenance and servicing.

I am going to Soi 13/3 later so I will probably use Damini. Than you for your reply.

Many thanks

I have just come back from the UK and I have 7 x 20 pound notes. Where is the best place in Pattaya to exchange them.

Does Dtac have a branch in Big C South Pattaya. They used to have a branch in Big C extra but that disappeared.

Hi, I'm due to fly out with Thai in a few days but I just noticed that my ticket conformation states that I have 1 checked bag (20k) and 1 small bag suitable for putting under the seat not in the overhead locker. . As I haven't flown for some years I have never come across this before, Then it was checked luggage and hand luggage (7k). Do Thai Airways enforce this if I turn up with a backpack. Will they refuse it. Years ago I would watch the movies but as my deafness got worse I tend to read instead and on a 12 hour flight with the time at the airport before take off I need 2 books. So slightly bigger than a small bag. Anybody have experience of this. Thanks in advance. PS The knapsack wont be very heavy because apart from the books it will only have things like glasses phone hearing aids and the necessary paperwork. If they loose my luggage I will just head to Primark when I get to the UK.

They are supposed to have Yellow Plates on the bikes denoting that they are for hire, how many white plated bikes (illegal) have you seen lately. The Yellow Plate mean that there is some sort of Insurance as well. I have also (in 20 years of driving here) never seen so many people jumping the lights at traffic lights or not wearing their helmets. The Thai police were ever that efficient years ago and they have gone downhill since then.

My Sonic Boom Alarm Clock has decided to play up after many years of use. I would normally just go on Lazada and order another one but it's getting a bit close to the time I actually need it and a loud alarm is what I need if I'm going to get up early to get a flight. So my question is what's the best place in Pattaya to buy a loud alarm clock. If it's not a Sonic Boom I need to listen to it without my using my hearing aids. Lazada 's delivery dates are cutting it a bit fine. I will probably go to Pattaya Night Bazaar (M-I -T) tomorrow afternoon but are there better places to look. Thank you.

Thank you all. I will not book and will just go to the nearest lounge when I know the gate for the plane. Years ago when I traveled regularly I never bothered book but I was much younger then and walking was no problem. I must admit I never encountered a crowded lounge in those days, just turn up and pay, but if memory serves me right it was just for 2 hours then and most UK flight went at night. Anyway thanks again.
