The Chinese can fake almost any consumer product ,,,the guide is the price if its to good to be true and 1/4 of regular retail price ,, then thats a red flag Go ahead and buy one but dont cry when you are in A&E with a missing hand . leg or knob

I drink my Tap water in Bangsaray or old house in Pattaya but I have triple +UV water filters in the loop drinking the bottled water or home filtered has one negative , osmosis filtering removes good elements , and minerals such as magnesium, calcium, zinc etc from the water , you have to get them from your diet or supplements

dangerous fakes Caveat emptor

follow the money thats the solution either the monkeys have gone for more cash and a better job , or they have been sold for food

still much cheaper than Pattaya Bars

why buy online and import ???, the high quality genuine ones are easily available in Thailand and are 30% cheaper than in Europe

Im a Dual national UK and another EU country all legal I actually hold 4 passports 2 from each country for business visas etc , I know lots of People who hold 2 passports especially after BREXIT some have 3 nationalities

the sealing ring for concrete floors is a wax seal , I recently fitted one where thais had bodged it now no leaks and no smells

Vietnam war was uneccessary war The USA made a big error in getting involved , they thought they were saving Vietnam from the Communists . But that was not actually true. Vietnam had been under Chinese domination and Kymer domination for hundreds of years , then The French came then the japanese and after WW2 the French again, Ho Chi Min was patriot who wanted Vietnam free of Foreign Domination he was a western educated socialist but disliked and mistrusted the Russians as much as Chinese . The South Vietnam government after 1956 was controlled by the rentier class of capitalist Francophile land lord class who exploited the peasants , 90 % of the souths population wanted to be unified with the North under a free socialist government Vietnam run by the Vietnamese.. The British who had only recently suppressed communists in Indonesia and Malaysia before giving those countries freedom from Empire advised the Americans in 1963 to let Ho Chi Min take control of all of Vietnam and then there would have been NO war NO destruction of Laos or Cambodia , and no massive loss of life or waste of Millions of $ . And USA would have a friendly peaceful prosperous socialist one partygovernment but anti Russia and China interference . which is what we actually have Today But the USA was paranoid and just saw Commies everywhere , and so went oto the aid of the corrupt venal South Vietnam government which was incompetent and had virtually no support from the peasants and workers .... Dont forget who got rid of Polpot in 1979 it was not the bleating West , nor the Chinese or Russians , but Vietnam , and they were condemned by the world for freeing Cambodia of its horrors , and were also invaded by China , who they soundly beat in a short war . Ukraine is an independent Democratic European country that has been invaded we must help them. Sane as we would help Taiwan, Even Today Vietnams military is prepared for war with China as its greatest and only Threat . The intervention in Iraq and Afganistan were bad mistakes and poorly handled that could have been done better ,, Russia has its own version of Nato called CSTO which is disintegrating as now only 6 countries are in it and they no longer trust Putin either .

I live in Bang Sarey and all the nice Villas with pools are on East side of Sukumvit ,,as far as I know, on West side there are condos , rooms ,,but when you say Dark side it is not Pattaya its just a nice area actually prettier than the west beach side sprall Bang Sarey is a small place ,

My HiLux is oil changed at shell , filters for fuel and oil and Shell Synthetic oil every 10k kms

Go to Manerat in soi Post office pattaya they are very professional and efficient been in Business for over 30 years

If we dont help Ukraine then Kazakstan will be next on Putrids list then Poland , Finland ,etc he must be prevented and punished even if it means WW3 , does the lesson of Hitler and WW2 not register on some idiots tiny brains The russian people are being sent for cannon fodder by a lunatic power mad despot , I dont trust USA OR uk POLITICIANS much , You do not kowtow to Bullies ,, do nothing and it only encourages more outrages and suffering

there was some mention a couple of weeks ago about international cable hub links for Thailand having issues ,,

My Daughter katria was at BEST from 2002 aged 3 until 2009 when she was 10 and went on to a senior school at wat Pottisamphan North Pattaya for matayom 1-6 . then to Bangkok University to study Business Degree, we found BEST to be excellent she is faultless in English and Thai both reading and writing , she loved BEST . I dont know what its like now its expanded a lot over the years but It was great for her and many of my friend Kids , The Dual language program was very good. she is 24 now and running her own business in UK .

Laughable and pointless ,, there is already a huge shortage of actual flights to Thailand compared to pre covid ,, and airlines especially from Europe and ME are reluctant to add extra flights which is one reason prices are so high .

No its not finished , never will be as what was done last year is already broken and will need fixing again soon,,, all of Chonburi and rayong is one vast road work due to EEC projects

usually 22 mm bur not easy to get at , can use crows foot extensions and a ratchet for access if really awkward

sell wife and kids , buy a motorcycle and be happy,, only joking I bought a low mileage 3 years old Toyota Hilux in mint condition 29,000 kms from a big 2nd hand franchise that have places all over Thailand car was like new , with 6 months warranty and full Toyota Service History now had it 2 years totally Bomb proof now over 80k kms and it was half the price of a new one which is currently 980,000 I paid 530,00 . Stick to Toyotas, Hondas , Suzuki , Mitsu , beware of newer Nissans they are not so reliable these days , Our last car was a Mazda it was OK , avoid Fords and German cars

Firstly there are NO Mambas in Thailand only in Africa ,,,but there are many snakes that are active by night , many are poisonous ,, pythons also can be active at night if hungry but its very unlikely one would be big enough to eat you , other poisonous creatures active at night are centipedes, Scorpions , spiders, ,, If walking around at night wear stout strong shoes r boots ,the most common snake bites in Thailand are russels vipers and other leaf vipers that camofluage themselves in leaf litter and undergrowth as they are ambush predators , I am not a herpetologist but when a student i spent 6 months working on a snake farm in Israel collecting snakes for research . another snake species that is extremely poisonous in Thailand is the bar girls you are more likely to be bitten by one of them .

Should have gone to government Hospital you would have had change from 1500 Baht

Unless you buy Rizoma ones for about 8,000 baht the other ones at 2000 will be the same items you can buy from China on Lazada for 600 Baht but with massive mark up , best be patient and get from Lazada , I got lazada bought levers on 2 of my ducatis very good quality

out live all my enemies and make more enemies to outlive so I live for ever

The summers are nicer , warmer , longer , but everything else is crummier , ripoff pricing , ruder , innefective and miserable,, Oh the real ale is good ,,

Alot of ignorant comments on here , I have ridden motrcycles all over the world ,for over 50 years I have a Big Ducati I have ridden in Thailand , Cambodia, Laos, Burma for 20 years and also now a new even more powerful Kawasaki Ninja 1000 , both can easily be ridden slowly or crazy fast is up to me depending on appropriate situations and my levels of concentration ,, I suspect either the rider was inexperienced , or lost concentration ,, but more likely the truck did something stupid .. I SEE IT ALL THE TIME HERE . And in Pattaya there are no road rules , and stupid tourists renting big bikes without helmets and safety gear is ridiculous , but Thai big bike riders are just as bad ,, I see Hiso Thais on New 1m Baht bikes wearing 200k leathers, boots , but NO helmets or gloves , very fashionable and passing me at 150mph idiots ???
