Considering the amount of foreigners with houses and condo's here in Pattaya I wonder why they have never opened a branch here.

I don't know what the fuss is about. I pay all my bills automatically by bank direct debit on the agreed date every month. 3BB, Electric and water. Once set up you can forget about it. You still see the bill either paper or via the app in advance of payment. Easy

Must be your bank then. I have a UK Mastercard and a UK visa card. Both are no fee and have an excellent exchange rate. I use them all the time and have done for 12 years. Never had an issue.

Thanks for the positive reply. Yes I probably do use my mobile a lot but no more than I have always done. As per my original post I am having chiropractor sessions doing exactly as you described but so fat no joy, that is why I created this thread to get some ideas. Cheers.

Thank you. I find it painful in my neck to sleep on my left side and yes my pillow is soft and probably too low. I will look for an alternative.

Thanks for the advice Sheryl

Thanks for the advice Charlie

Thank you that's my theory on why this started. My worry is, what is the treatment. It's been a while now with no improvement.

Thank you. Both shoulders and both arms are affected. The swelling in my neck is on my left side between the shoulder and neck just above the collar bone. The pain is sharp in upper arm when I use my arms to stand up applying pressure. I can raise my arms but in a circular movement I get pain in upper arm, this is both sides. Back of the neck around the highest point of my spine is sore. Some pain at the lower part of left thumb above the wrist. Thing is I can still go to the gym and do cardio treadmill and bike but no weights or lifting. I am 69 years old by the way

Thanks Charlie. It's both arms/shoulders that's the problem. I had no previous problems with my shoulders until as I said about 6 weeks after my right hip replacement. I am considering an xray as a first step but am unsure if it will show what is the problem. MRI would obviously be the ultimate test but for shoulder's and neck both sides it will be expensive.

I had a hip replacement in the UK last August which went very well and I was soon back in the gym My problem is that about 6 weeks after my op I started to get severe shoulder and arm pain, which also radiates down to my left thumb. I also have a slight swelling in the neck above the left collar bone. I don't know if this is due to the use of crutches etc. Now 6 months later this is no better. I have been going to a Chriopractor for 5 sessions, he says I have pinched/trapped nerves. But after 5 weeks it is no better. Any ideas advice for diagnosis and treatment @SherylThanks. I am based in Pattaya.

At Jomtien you only need a new TM30 if returning to the same residence, only if you get a new passport. I found this recently when I needed a residence certificate for my driving licence.

Yes it's that horrible Las Vagas complex, can't stand the place.

Book into a decent place for s few days. Have a look around, decided where you want to stay. Then book long term. Pointless booking a long stay in advance.

Probably not going to be a follow up. But I the shop confirmed that the necklace was not bought from them as it didn't have their stamp in the gold. Further investigation revealed that the son had a copy made and swapped it out. Cashing in the original gold to feed his drink/drug habit.

Nonsense. Money laundering is a serious crime. There are many many fake businesses over here and some legitimate ones that purely operate as a means to launder money. The authorities need to be applauded for trying to do something about it. Your throw away comment does nothing other than making you look stupid.

Plenty of warning signs in your post. 1. You have not been to Thailand in 2 years and yet you are getting married soon. Assume you have not seen girlfriend for the same period. Recipe for disaster. 2. You have sold your UK house which means nothing to fall back on if things go wrong. Whose idea was it to sell? Recipe for disaster. 3. You are moving to the middle of nowhere. Where will you live? Recipe for disaster.

Yes thanks I have seen those. Do you know what I have to upload to register as a Foreigner?

Just visited Jomtien immigration for a Residence Certificate for driving licence. I was informed at the Residence desk that I havnt updated my TM30 since I changed my passport 2 years ago, even though I have renewed my extension of stay and done online 90 reports over the 2 year period. I assume this is correct. The queue for the TM30 was massive as immigration closed tomorrow for Big Buddha day. I thought I would do online. At first glance this looks complicated, any views/advice?

You probably were upgraded free of charge. I am with 3bb and they upgraded me a few years ago. Most connections are fibre now

You don't even have to look for it it's not hidden, it's in the main area in full view.

I have a duel draw air fryer, perfect. The picture of burnt chips is laughable.

I paid 20k to get out of a drink drive matter a few years ago at soi 9. They even have a special Negotiation Room". Was released given my car keys back and met the officer in Jomtien the next day to give the 20k. He held onto some id/license as security. These incidents are the norm over here.
