I would also like a serious answer to this question. I have a Honda Click, bought new 6 years ago. It's done over 30,000 trouble free kilometers (apart from a couple of batteries and a few inner tubes and tyres). and i think it deserves a proper service and not the normal 200 baht change the oil.

PS. Also anyone know were I can buy a non slip seat cover. I tend to slide forward if (when) I have to brake hard.

PPS My spell check also shows the spelling as tires.

Does anybody know how many Income Letters are actually processed by the relevant embassies per year. This might tell us how much Foreign Exchange the government will lose if we all go home. Not to mention our wives and children.

My search function does not work. The q button is on the top of any writing in the rectangle provided. Any suggestions.

I have been having problems watching sports on the internet. As the world cup has started I got onto HD Prime (my sports provider) to complain (it kept freezing). Imagine my surprise when I got a reply in less than an hour saying they thought they knew what the problem was and the hope that they had fixed it.

Low and behold they had. In all my years I've never had so quick a reply and a problem solved so quickly. So back to  watching Egypt and Uruguay.

The strongest pain killer you can buy is tramadol, but it has significant side effects and is also addictive. It is also only available at large pharmacies with a grade 1 pharmacist on duty and records are kept of sales. You should NOT ride a motorcylce or drive a care  while taking it.

 

From what you describe there is likely an inflammatory process and you  would probably get considerable relief from an NSAID (ibuprofen, diclofenac etc) which can be gotten at any pharmacy - take on a full stomach and don't take if you are on anti-coagulant or have a history of gastritis or ulcers.

 

Applying a cool pack or ice to the painful area will also help.

 

If I were you I'd see a physical therapist or good chiropracter, there may be postural issues contributing to this or muscle groups that need strengthening and the right exercises/stretched might help prevent this.

It normally doesn't last that long and sometimes its months before it happens again. If it lasts longer or comes more frequently I will go and see someone. With reference to pain killers I take Xarelto so any suggestions.

I get back pain. not continuously as it comes and goes over time. I don't know what starts it off, or why it ends.Normally in a week or so.

What I do know. that at its worse Paracetamol does not work. Going over a bump on my motorbike is agony. What I want to know is what the best /strongest pain killer I can buy at a pharmacy.

Thank you.

Does anybody know of a bar/pub that has cod & chips on its menu (apart from Retox game on). And I don't mean a fish and chip shop like Jolly Friar or Simons. Most of them have fish & chips but its Pangasius from the Mekong.

To quote the official prices in Bangkok.

25 Baht for up to 2 kilometers then 5 Baht per Kilometer.

As the crow flies its approx 1.6 kilometers, by road 1.95 Kilometers.

Not quite a "Hit and Run' topic but I thought it would be the best place to ask as its food and restaurant related. Sometime ago there was a B-B-Q restaurant called "The Fish" on a soi just past Big C on the right (2nd road). Does any body know of a good alternative.

My wife used to really enjoy eating there and at 299 Baht (all you can eat) my pocket enjoyed it as well.

That's what is confusing, my attachment definitely states Time and Date. And their automatic reply doesn't help.

I received a notification from VSL that my new passport was ready for collection and there was an attachment which said they needed the exact time and date of collection.

So I emailed them and I got the automatic email reply page which tells you that this page is for making an appointment to drop off your renewal paperwork only.

Has anybody picked up their passport in the last few days and did they have to give the exact time and date.

Also was their email reply the same as mine (automatic) or did they receive a proper reply.

I don't want to go to VSL on Tuesday to find that I cant pick up my passport for any reason.

Looking forward to your replies.

Which location looked shut?

The new one in Pattaya definitely exists.

I think it might be a NIGHTTIME only place.

What I'm asking about is if the JOMTIEN location, the original one of the same brand, still exists, or did they close that to move to the small Pattaya location. 

The one in Jomtein. But as I only drive past there at luchtime I cant help you with the evening.

Regarding this post about BBQ Prime Time, I'm not sure if the new Pattaya location is a second location or if the original Jomtien BBQ Prime Time has closed. Does anyone know?

 

It looked shut when I went passed the other day ( lunchtime).

Might have already been stated but:

 

Order from the International Amazon site here:

 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDK92KS?country=TH

 

and it will arrive to Thailand in about a week. 

 

They will hold some extra cash for import duties (if required) and if not they will credit it back to your card. 

 

Best way to handle it. 

As I don't want a Kindle that's not very helpful.

I don't want a kindle or anything to read books on the move. I much prefer real books, but sometimes (quite often) I can't find a particular book that I want to read. I'm quite happy reading from my computer screen (especially as I can do it from my armchair).

So what I want to know is what should I download on my computer to read everything in any format and what website has the best free books.

Thanks in advance.

Let's say for the sake of argument that the bike was doing 30mph and the car 40mph. Closing speed 70mph. That's just over a 100 feet per second, doesn't give the car driver a lot of leeway.

It would take a couple of seconds for him to believe what he was seeing.

We are also surmising that the headlights worked, and there wasn't shopping piled up in the basket on the front of the bike.

I've been trying to check what package I have from 3bb. I had it for years and I pay 900Baht a month (plus vat).

When I did a speed test just now (because it seems slow) I got 14.1/1.2mbps.

As I cant remember what I should be getting I looked at the 3bb web site to see what 900Baht should give me.  I couldn't find anything that wasn't fiber. Is there anybody still on the same package (or a good memory) that can help me. Saving me a trip to the 3bb office. I live in a condo which is the reason (I think) I haven't been offered an upgrade to fiber.

When you pick up the passport, they will give you a form for immigration (probably blank, leaving you to fill it in yourself). It is a simple form.

Many thanks.

Thank you for your  replies but I'm British.

I've just been to Bangkok to drop of my passport renewal application form. When it comes back what do I need to do about my TM30. I've not been out of Thailand for 7 years so the TM30 is the only one I've had.

Also as I'm here do I need a letter from the Embassy to show to immigration to transfer my extension to stay.

Are they both the same and the only difference is the translation from Thai to English.

Are there any other places apart from the one just off beach road?

what one just off Beach Road?

I'm more concerned about the security than the cost. If it was just cost the UK's Post Office does a signed and tracked service for about 250 Baht for a small letter.

With the normal post my sister sent a Christmas Card on the  3rd December which I received in January.

DHL

I thought DHL only did parcels. There is no mention on their website for letters. And 24 Euros seems quite expensive.

Sending a credit card from the UK to Thailand whats best and safest.
