Forgot to mention Nathan’s, also Thappraya road just after Hemmingways on Right going up. May have to book in high season.

Indian by Nature Thappraya Road after the crossing and just after FOOD MART and the BUS station for airport. A bit expensive but a class above , comfortable and very clean. Can walk there. Also, for fresh fish and a favorite with Thais, very end of Beach road Jomtien where the beach road stops. In front. Great seafood and fish. Also the night market beach road for a cool beer opposite beach or a snack at night, very lively, or a real coffee house next to said night market called the RABBIT, very modern. Hemmingways pub central Jomtien village area for a drink , pizza, fish and chips. Have a great time. Have a great time.

For a very nice everyday/ lunch Thai meal, I can highly recommend the Thai restaurant « Arroy DEE » which is practically attached to Jomtien immigration. Soi 5 towards the top of the road coming from Beach road.

For different parts / organs , different examinations are advised. An MRI is not good for everything and may not find something wrong. Have EEGs and EKGs as well while you’re spending money. Ask a good doctor at a good hospital in Bangkok.

Thailand braces for liquor industry disruption under Move Forward
geisha replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes, I spend lots of time in Bangkok and often have a drink somewhere where they have bands. Most of the Thais I see there drink cocktails these days. Decent ones too ,much better than a glass of wine that is awful, I only drink wine in France and Italy where even for 5 € there is a good choice. My other favorite is an Aperol Spritz, good Prosecco and great in the summer heat ( 30c + today). Maybe a ladies drink for you guys, but everyone drinks it in Italy, even France now. -
It was Ziva , for me ! Fabulous food and I ate there nearly every night while on Koh Chang. I’ve heard she closed down after Covid ? Would love to hear she’s still there, lovely lady .Fab cook.,

Crackdown on Illegal Foreigners in Sukhumvit-Asok Area
geisha replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I’ve seen a lot of foreigners selling drugs on Bangkok streets , also women in the rag trade, and they are not Asian or European. -
I don’t find Thai hospitals that good myself for the price they charge foreigners. Unknowingly, I had a small kidney stone, thought I was dying !! Went to a hospital, waited, then put on a drip in a curtained off emergency room. The “doctor”:was in jeans and shirt . Whole families were surrounding the beds of other patients ! Shocked me. Waited till 3 am then sent home., Next day went to a different international hospital and eventually saw a real doctor who diagnosed my problem. Back in France with examinations it was confirmed.

I had a friend who drank a lot. After a few months , I stopped completely as I was afraid of going the same way. Now I only drink a good glass of wine when eating out , but never in Thailand as the wine is awful. Once spent a fortune for a friends birthday in a wine shop on a good red ( one I knew from France) and is was slightly corked .Never again. So if I have a drink every few months it would be a gin tonic in Thailand.

Many countries have this rule. 180 days in one year. Same with Paris Thai Embassy. Worse, for Brits coming to EU Europe there is 90 day rule in 6 months, so total 180 days in 365 a year., -

Can anyone recommend an over the counter sleeping pill?
geisha replied to Kenny202's topic in Health and Medicine
Is this a classified drug or is it legal? Thanks. -
Reading that report , it would seem they are classing all and every one overstayer as a danger to society, criminal, damage risk to the country ! Most of them are just that, overstaying. The real baddies and criminals should stick out like a sore thumb, as did the Chinese gangs running illegal casinos and call centers! Took the police a while to sus that out didn’t it ? Any Thai reading that article will likely put all male foreigners into the same sack, the description of these foreigners is way over the top. Why not crack down on real criminals ? Why not close down or give heavy fines to landlords of condos , houses, etc who do not declare their renters. Why not check who really owns all those houses with land near beaches , and multiple businesses in cities , Bangkok for a start ?
