Which is simply when their lips move....

Reminds me of what I was told many years ago. "Two rules to remember in Thailand. First rule is Thais lie. Second rule is they always xxxxing lie."

Not in Thailand, the driving is fine....    its the roads that are too slippy or the brakes that are not good enough... possibly an amulet was not good enough. 

 

Its never anything to do with speeding, poor maintenance, sleeping, high-on Yabba, smashed up on lao-khao, caffeined up on M150,.......

You missed that old favorite. Bald tyres.

Hello

I highly recomend my manucure/pedicure (also hairdresser) who is very near from Bangkok Pattaya Hospital ...Sukhumvit Soi 28 (second soi on the left after BPH going towards BGK) 4th or 5th shop on the left when entering the soi, just after a local 'restaurant" shop..

I have in grow nails and she works very well and is very nice.. I am her customer for nearly 4 years, never disappointed.. it is a local salon so don t expect luxury etc.. but very clean.. I don t in fact know her name.. the shop is CK Hair I think

She speaks a few english words.. Tel 0955035678. Manicure+pedicure 350 bahts

Have a nice day.

Many thanks. She sounds just what I'm looking for.

After many years of using the same  lady for all my hands ,feet an hair needs I find I need a new one. The lady in question has decided to go back to the farm. After her husband died last she she thought she would stay here but after a year she has decided not to. She will be coming back occasionally (she still has a house here) but not enough to continue with the Hairdressing etc.

This has left me with a problem. She was the best manicurist I have ever used in all the years of coming and then living here.

So can any one recommend a good manicurist. I live i Jomtein but have a motor bike so anywhere within 20 kilometers   would help.

They won't send you replacement debit/credit cards.

They don't already. My sister sends them.

I am currently Banking with Nationwide and use my UK address, but as I am spending much more time here I was thinking of notifying the bank of my Thai address instead. Would that cause me any problems.

I sent another email to Magna Carta today and got an almost instant reply. Apparently they replied last week but for some reason I did not receive it.

Anyway they quoted me 2,500 Baht for a notorised translation.

Well, I contacted Key Visa and MagnaCarta.  Key Visa replied but didn't say if they did or what price. Contacted them again and am still waiting.  MagnaCarta  promises a reply in 24 hours that was 3 days ago. I am not impressed.

Serving alchohol in restaurants and hotels. 
 

Two of the best options I found in Petchabun city, but you might go another place? 
 

SR Residennce Hotel
+66 89 898 8993

Livist Resort Phetchabun
+66 98 792 2035
https://goo.gl/maps/k7kHAtYc7vn8WcLT9

Thanks for that. We normally stay at SR Residence.

Last time we were there I went to order dinner on 31st December 2020 and included a bottle of wine. Was told no can do. So I went to the car were I happened to have a bottle but when I brought into the restaurant we were told still cannot do orders from the Governor, 

Imagine our annoyance when arriving back in Pattaya a few days later that the Governor of Pattaya did enact the same rule but after News Years Eve.

Depends on the Province, in Rayong it's still NO.

That's why I was asking about Phetchabun as I have to go there soon and I like to have a drink with my meals.

The really funny part is that sounds like a joke, but it’s the exact truth of the world we live in

Can you explain that to me. In Pattaya just now most placest hat are open are not taking a blind bit of notice and you just walk in.  Only places like Walking Street where you have to show an up to date test or get tested on entry.

What's the latest news on consuming alcohol in restaurants.

For my sport coverage I use HDPrime. It doesn't have everything but its not far short. Plus it has all UK channels. 375Baht a month.

I had my 2nd Pfizer jab and now in 2 weeks it will be 6 months. Is there any up to date info on Pfizer in Pattaya?

Don't report him to the police just put it on Social Media (anonymously) and let it do the rest.

I should have added this to my original query, any Idea of the cost.

Thank you. I don't know why I couldn't find that.

I need to send a copy of my Marriage Certificate to my pension provider so that my wife can claim my pension when I'm dead. I'm doing it early to make it easier for her when I'm gone.  Anybody have recommendation for a translation service who will also has a notarize as true translation.

Everyday I read the number of cases in Chonburi and Pattaya but when I try to find statistics  from other provinces I can't. Anybody have any news of a website that has provincial figures.I have searched using Google but maybe I'm missing something.

Well I for one enjoy his article every week and look forward to continuing reading it for many years to come.
