I'm sure, haha. Possibly - regarding the sting thesis....

I might try there. Thanks for the tip.

I wasn't so lucky!

I am aware that it isn't a mom and pop shop. That wasn't really the question. Another poster answered with what seems to be a plausible reason.

This seems like a good explanation. It was late in the day when they refused compared to the previous day (happy to sell it) when it was lunch time.

Fair enough.

I am wondering if someone has experienced something similar. I went to the Facino near second road/Walking St and asked for the Sidegra. The lady asked if I was a member and i said no. In response, she went to speak with someone on the back and then came out and half-heartedly pretended to look for it and then said we are out of stock. I know the drawer where they are kept because i was there the previous day and I could see that they had a lot in stock. She didn't even open the drawer. They were very willing to sell it to me the previous day and did not ask if i was a "member". Has this happened to anyone? Being asked if you are a member and then just refusing to sell it to you (if not)? What is the deal?

Can these be found anywhere in Pattaya? I would be eternally grateful!

Right, that's the name. I forgot. That is quite a walk up Nakla.....

Did they move to another location? They had some good breads and bakery items. Anyone know the new location? Or, are they gone for good?

That is great! Thank you! This is just the type of shop I am looking for. Though, I do hope he has access to good materials. Anyway, thanks, I will drop by.

Does anyone know of a good, small business leather shop? The shoulder strap on my messenger bag broke. Pattaya beach and surrounding area is preferred, but I can venture out a bit, too. Many thanks!

Any hints on where such pharmacies might exist?

Thanks for this. Just bought something else and found out it was half the price elsewhere. I will check out Fascino. Cheers

Just curious if I'm being fleeced. I'm been quoted 350 baht for a Thai brand 6 pack. Is this reasonable? Or, if not, can anyone recommend a good pharmacist that doesn't upcharge?

Well, I went to wattana systematic on Pattaya klang. Quoted me a reasonable price range and chargede the low end of the quote. Said to come back the end of the day tomorrow, but fixed it within a few hours ( I just happened to return a few hours later to pull out the SSD). Fixed well, good price, fast service, no shifty haggling on costs. Highly recommend!!!

As the title suggests, the hinge on my lid on my Dell xps is loose. Anyone know of a good independent laptop repair spot in Pattaya? Fair price, quick, reputable techs?

Yes, but I am cheap ???? I will likely just use bolt to jomtein and get the bus direct from jomtein to suvarnabhumi. Cheapest.

Thanks everyone for the replies! From this it seems that the Jomtein location is the only one now that goes direct to suvarnabhumi. I will go there then. Cheers!

A few years back last time i was here there was an airport bus (rooncheang?) that went to the airport. Today, there is no option for this on the their website, only BKK city stops. The only option i see is to catch the bus (rooncheang) from Jomtein. The forum and bus station websites give inconclsive info on this. Anyone know the updated/recent info? Is their a govt/cheap bus from the North Pattaya location?

SUN looks good! Any first hand experience? Busy most of the time (waiting)? Reviews ar mixed on whether or not there is decent AC/ fan in the gym.

Will be visiting shortly. Does anyone know of a fitness gym that is open? Nothing fancy, just a decent free weight set up or machines. I'm not a heavy or powerlifter or anything. I usually go to the stadium gym in bangkok next to MBK. Something like that, but probably smaller in Pattaya. Cheapish would be a bonus!
