I recently contacted Maneerat about opening up several bank accounts. They can only open Bkk Bank if on a tourist visa (I have Bkk Bank already). Even pre-covid on a marriage extension I found it very difficult to open a bank account - only managed Bkk Bank because the women in the branch lived next door! There are other options if on a "retirement visa" etc

Been to the Ratchada branch half a dozen times. Very good. https://bangkokdentalcenter.com/

Hi Do Thai Airways still offer the "free upgrade" on attainting Gold Status or the free "birthday" upgrade? Their website isn't particularly clear about how you request it! https://www.thaiairways.com/en_TH/rop/Status_Benefits/BenefitStatus-03-gold.page Benefits with THAI: • 5,000 bonus threshold miles on attaining and retaining Gold status • Up to 2 complimentary roundtrip upgrades* on THAI (TG 3 digit flight numbers) international routes within the 2 year validity of standard Gold status. Upgrades are to the next higher class of service only. Double class upgrades are not permitted. Valid for all paid published fares excluding discounted Economy Class fares in booking classes T, K, S, G, V, W, L and discounted Royal Silk Class fares, e.g. Z. Some promotional fares in other booking classes may also not be eligible for upgrading. Such restrictions will display with online ticket purchase at thaiairways.com or by inquiring with THAI prior to issuing ticket. The first complimentary upgrade* will be automatically entitled once your Gold card is effective and can be used during validity of the current Gold status. The second complimentary upgrade* is one year valid from the date of achieving 50,000 qualifying miles or 40 THAI international flight sectors (except travels with booking classes T / K / S / G / V / W / L) within either of your two personal calendar year periods during current Gold status. Complimentary Upgrades are non-transferable and may be subject to service fees. *Tax and surcharges apply. **Due to travel with the booking classes T, K, S, G, V, W, L will not be eligible for both attaining and retaining Gold Status by completing 40 international flight sectors on THAI during 12 rolling month period. Consequently, travel with these stated booking classes will not be eligible for attaining complimentary upgrades as well. • Guaranteed Seating in Economy Class for reservations made 72 hours prior to departure and walitlist still open and on valid booking classes Y, M, B. • Complimentary access to THAI Royal Silk Class lounges world-wide, with one accompanying guest when departing on an international THAI operated flight.*** ***Both Royal Orchid Plus Gold member and one accompanying guest who are entitled to THAI Royal Silk lounge access must travel together on the same THAI flight.

A mate in Bkk has had a knee replacement. Swears he would never do it again. His other knee he is having PRP with good results. RAZZ

Used BIDC many times...very good.

Thanks. I was quoted 9980 baht for 14mg from MedConsult. Is this the place? https://diamondpharmacy-th.com/

I would imagine it would be easier to got a gym and ask if someone is willing?

Any update on the availability of Ozempic or Rybelsus? RAZZ

I thought he was going to "disrupt" the real estate market? I'm still waiting... RAZZ

I think he was originally based in Phuket. He actually posted a very interesting thread on Reddit in the Pattaya thread: AMA = "Ask me anything".

Steve Acreman.

If you go "off" the bargirl scene...even "normal" girls want some sort of "pocket money" from their boyfriends. (Thai/Thai relationships) It's just the way it is here. RAZZ

He said he was going to Court.

He never owned it - Steve Acreman - who owns about 6 Gentleman's Clubs owned it and just did a deal to use the name.

It's a glorified short time hotel and so cheap you could use it just to get your head down for a powernap. Ok if you want to go on the pi$$ down Soi 7.

I think that will make it 4 plus the hotel, plus the share in the Indian restaurant and the large TV/advertising hoarding. Easy to see why - he learnt from Bryan Flowers - but adapted. Whereas Bryan had "Pattaya Addicts" and "bar crawls" to drive business, Nick has his YouTube Channel NDTVI. You would be amazed how much this works. A lot of businesses are now "social media channels" with the core business attached! His "Sunday live broadcast" bring in donations and "drinks". Similarly, Trevor from "Buzzin Pattaya" opened a Bar in Soi Pothole. I went a few Sundays back and I could just about get a seat. It was rammed! You have to realise there are are hundreds of thousands of sad sacks who watch YouTube and say "I'm gonna go to that bar and barfine that girl!" Right...I'm off to look at some bars for sale

Simple. Technically should have a WP. In reality doesn't need one.

You seem to know a lot about them though!

Update: 2 different HR people sent conciliatory emails. She will reply in a similar fashion to attempt to "de-escalate". Let's see what happens later this week when staff are back at work.

She's in n the fickle world of fashion

This first one was to HR in Singapore etc the business language is in English. It was nothing too dramatic, just stated her history with company, her contract details, that after taking advice she thought what they were attempting to do was illegal, her intent to honour her legally binding contract, and finally that she would have no hesitation in going to the Labor Department etc.

Thanks for your best wishes. Let's see what happens when she is back at work!

I did it all from Thailand - UK solictor signed the back of all of the above for my Birth certificate, marriage certificate, mum and dads' marriage certificate (needed it for Yellow book) and my University degrees. (I suggest you do the same as you never know what paperwork you might need) Pain in the <deleted>. Can be done if you know someone in the UK who can handle the post/visit to Thai Embassy side of things, otherwise pay someone!

Of course people can express views, like me calling out his nonsense. Not everyone is on Thai minimum wage. All the Thai people on my estate have massive houses and flash cars. One fella has two Lamborghinis!
