I have lived here for 13 years and before that I came to Thailand in January every year for 20+ years. I have never worn a coat her. At the moment I don't even posses one. On the bike he last few drays I wished I did.

Mind you,in the second picture there is a post next to a tree. It completely blocks the pavement.

There are no places in that list on the west side of Pattaya. There might be one or two on the Dark Side.

I made  a mistake with my doctors appointment. I was thinking February but it's next week . So on Monday I will be going to Lifecare for their 5oo Baht package which includes Blood Sugar.

Thanks for your suggestions anyway.

Can anybody tell me where I can get a free or low cost Blood Sugar Test. I am due to have a 500 Baht Blood test at Lifecare in 6 weeks (before my hospital appointment). So I just want to know how my Blood Sugar is doing now. I dont want to know anything else.

The  old one or Game On? 

Game On, the original Retox went years ago.

Not sure if this is right  forum but what I need to know is   will there  be any problems in driving from Pattaya to SaraBuri and then on to  Phetchabun.

A bad decision from a customers perspective. Already prices have increased and some brands of items are no longer being stocked. Macro was always cheaper than Tesco anyway, so will be shopping even less at Tesco now and moreso at Macro. Unfortunately no Big C here.

Makro is also owned by CP

Why can't they do the sensible thing and just ban alcohol while the polls are open,

I remember some years ago when they were still shutting the bars for the kings birthday they had a General Election in December.

The weekend before the election the bars were shut for 2 days for Pre Election voting then the following weekend the bars were shut again for 2 days for the election proper.

I remember some bar owners ranting about  it saying how bloody ridiculous shutting the bars for 5 days in a peak tourist month. The bar girls were nun to happy either.

If they are going to keep closing Bach Road for these festivals they need to do something about the traffic. The traffic last weekend for the fireworks was the worst I've ever seen. I think they need to turn back 2nd Road to 2 way.

I do what the pros do, Hilton,Home Pro...etc

1.. prep is more important than the Paint

2. Clean walls with a solution of Bleach/water, kills everything and will clean surface effectively...

3. Sand cement wall with large sanding block available at The Watsadu, prime with Jotun cito 09, goes deep into the cement...solvent base..what Home Pro uses out side and inside their buildings...

4. Use a primer...again use a primer even over old work...TWO COATS

5. Use a semi-gloss Paint on the Drywall/Gypsum...easier to clean and more.

6. Toa and i like 4 seasons Paint...SEMI_GLOSS...flat is too pourous....

Can you tell me where to buy this Primer?

Difference IMO is that watches are a machine and anyone can learn about a machine. IMO wine is an individual thing and everyone probably has different ideas about wine, so the waiter has to be able to "stroke" the customer, as well as know a lot about hundreds of different wines.

Tell me, are waiters in restaurants that sell wine in Thailand just waiters, or are they special waiters that deal only with wine ( I believe there is a special name for them )? Sooooo, if only waiters why would anyone expect them to know much about loads of different wines, and all the boogaloo that goes along with wine. For all we know they were working in a rice paddy the month before they started in the restaurant.

 

IF they are special waiters that deal only with wine I WOULD expect them to know about such.

However, I suspect that while they may very well exist in LOS, they work in restaurants where posters on TVF will never be able to afford to dine. So, seems to me that some on here are expecting to get 5* service while paying for a 2* service.

 

i-am-unlikely-to-do-business-with-a-place-that- needs a waiter that deals only with wine.

 

 

That special waiter is called a Sommelier

Are you sure about the 15-20k baht monthly wage?

 

Most of the people I know work 6 day weeks in factories for around 8-10k 10 if they work 12

Hour shifts. 

As the ammonium wage is 18,172 per 40 hour week I dont believe you, unless of course their illegal immigrants.

Got there at 7PM  on Friday and waited for the 7.20 fireworks. And waited and waited. If they are going to put the fireworks back one hour they should at least tell somebody.

Saturday night almost missed the first show as I was still under the impression that it would start at 7.20.

Typicl Thai planning.

Thanks but I don't read Thai.

I found the information on Pattaya News (in English) this morning. Good job I didn't trust Pattaya Mail they had the fireworks starting at 9.30PM not 7.20PM. I would have been pretty pxxxxx off if I got there at 9.30 and missed 3/4 of the show.

Some time ago a member said that he used the above Primer as it was the best All Purpose Primer he had found in Thailand. I have found it on Lazada but would prefer to buy it retail. Anybody know where in Pattaya I can get this. I have checked (where I can) on the internet but no joy.

Or can anyone else recommend a good All Purpose Primer.

Thanks

Does anybody have the details of the schedule for Friday and Saturday. I know their timing goes out of the window as soon as it starts (actually the timing normally starts to go wrong before hand) but it would be nice to have a few details.

Kerryd. Actually I want to buy the Electric Version but at 29,000 Baht I want to make sure it fits.

I'm looking for an Adult Tricycle, any suggestions.I see people riding them around town buy I have never seen a source of supply.

The Fireworks next weekend are they on the Friday and Saturday (27th and 28th) or the Saturday and Sunday (28th and 29th). One article I read said Friday and Saturday and another said Saturday and Sunday.

My Seiko Chronograph has started to run slow. It obliviously needs a new battery. The couple of shops I have used over the years are shut so whats the best shop now for a new battery?
