i agree

all those guys who bought a lifetime membership at Tony's gym come to mind

I was one of them. The difference is I bought mine 15 or so years ago. Best value thing I've ever bought.

I know they are shut at the moment but they will reopen. So the question still remains a gym with a TV. I dont have a smart phone.

I need a gym. Not a complicated one, basically a walking/running machine and a few weight machines. The most important thing is a TV Screen so  I can watch something when I walk. I dont like walking anywhere else as I am unsteady on my feet when trying to walk on Pattaya pavements.

If this happened yesterday (4/5/21) I wonder what bank he was taken it to.

Do the rules in the new Deep Red Zone start at midnight tonight (Friday) or tomorrow (Saturday),

If I understood the op correctly, he observed that the old man left only one-half of a 20 baht note tucked under the cup of coffee (I assume to make it appear as if it was a folded 20 baht note), and only left one half of the note.

 

If I misunderstood, and in fact the old man left BOTH pieces, than that's a different story.

 

Only one half of a ripped-in half currency note is worthless in any country on the face of the earth.  

 

It should be noted that ripping a note in half is a crime here in Thailand because the likeness of the King is defaced.  That crime is actually taken pretty seriously here in the Kingdom so it would have been pretty ironic if the tables were turned on the old man and he would up in jail for his prank.

 

 

I was in the Black and White bar in Walking Street with my wife many years ago. 3 guys came in after a game of golf, bought a couple of rounds and then tore a 500 Baht note in half to give to the girls. They went ape<deleted>.

The wife managed to calm the girls down saying to them that the guys had only been here a couple of days and didn't know any better. While I explained to the guys about the king's picture on the note.

They apologized and carried on with their evening. The following night they were back in the same bar so everything worked out.

I went to the bank today and it's been paid. It was obviously due to the Songran Holiday. As a coincidence I checked my phone shortly afterwards and had a message from Aetna.

I thought I don't believe this but it was just a message to tell me I can have a free Flu jab if I want one. Pity it's not the one that I want.

Thanks Charlie. I'll let you know tomorrow.

I set it up with Aetna (signed form in their office) so I guess it's a Direct Debit.

Is it the banks responsibility to make a payent to a company or does the company request the money every month and because there is a  standing order the bank pays it.

I pay  Aetna (BUPA) 12,000 Baht a month for my medical insurance. When I went to the cash machine this morning I noticed that there was 12,000 Baht more in there than I expected. The payment is normally due on the 15th of the month. Do I query it with the bank o with Aetna.

I normally use Firefox so I tried again using Edge, works fine. Problem solved.

Anybody else having problems with Pattaya Mail. I get to the home page easy enough but that's it. It won't let me in to anything else. Any suggestions about what to do.

Anybody know a company in Pattaya for this.

do a search for Geert Vanden Bossche interview 

I did. Then I read what McGill University and Snopes said about it. "Flawed science"

Thanks. I thought the one at Makro closed years ago, but as I shop in both Makro and Tesco it gives me a choice.

Any change in the number and locations of massage parlours in Phetchabun. I'm looking for Foot or Thai massage.

The problem is not the Saleng it's the idiot driving it. A well maintained Saleng has got to be safer than me wobbling on 2 wheels.

I want to buy a Saleng. I already have a motorbike so I just want to buy the add-on. Anybody know locally where I can buy one. Mityon Service on Pattaya Klang used to sell them but they came with a new motorbike attached at (if my memory's right) about 76,000 Baht and the sales part of the business has been gone for sometime anyway.

I don't  want a big one just big enough for me, my wife and granddaughter when she visits (with a roof).. As I get older my sense of balance has got worse and 3 people on a bike is not really an option anymore.

I buy Casinso's Peppered Smoked Mackerel  at Big C. It's gone from 189 Baht to 209 Baht.

As of today in Villa the same product was 129 baht. Go figure.

When I withdraw money from the bank I have to show my passport. When I send money to my mother in law I dont. Now here is the stupid thing. When I pay cash into my other bank they also want my passport. I present them with my bank book so what do they need my passport for.

Thank you.

Does it stop at the Dolphin Round-about or carry on along Beach Road.
