Hi , does anyone know if the post offices are open toda- saturday?

and if so what time?

cheers

I used to stay in visetree (thinks thats how you spell it) samsen soi 8.

you will have to walk down soi 8 which is like a small alley not so nice, then through the temple at the end and round to the left. Rent is 4000 baht a month, small room with own bathroom.

Its ok, but i couldnt stay there longer than the 6 months I did. If you are are intrested try and get a room faceing inwards towards the carpark, as the street side can be noisey at night, very! when the tuk tuk drivers come to drink.

Also there are some apartments at the end of samsen soi 2 nicer area cafes etc... but a bit more exspensive you may get samll room for 5000 baht.

Thanks all,

im a girl by the way and my local tesco is pinklao, bangkok

Hello,

Now comes problem number 2 on my second ultrasound today they informed my that I have a cyst that i didnt know anything about so this is the next cause of concren.

Anyway I dont wish to dicuss this topic any more on this foram thread, but if anyone has any further questions or wants to talk you can p.m me

Ok thanks all

Hi everyone ,

I went to a local family planning clinic today and had a wich confirmed I am just six weeks into pregnancey. The language barriers did make everything difficult but they exsplained first to my boyfreind and then him to me. Aperntley as i am only 6 weeks there is another option. From what I understand they do the procedure over 2 days, Im not sure excactly what this procedure is but it seems as if it must e legal befor 9 weeks. The clinic I went to is goverment funded and they have booked me an apointment for next week.

i will still look into other places because i would really like to underatnd whats going on. I think the procedure maybe similar to induceing a miscarrige. Does anyone know any further info about this.

I will quiz my boyfreind agin later when he returns from work as to exactly how they exsplained the procedure.

Thanks for all you help and advice to date

Hmmm interesting about the legal aspects...I know at least a few thai ladies that have had abortions performed at major hospitals in Thailand.

As have I. Last one I knew did it cost 6000.00 Baht and no questions asked. Not sure if we are treading dangerously here discussing this.

Can i ask you where did you go for this?

Yes i think we are treading on dangerous grounds

Thanks for the advice, I also read somewhere that cabbages and condoms actually carries out abortions however if this is illegal I do worry about all the saftey procedures.

Can anyone tell me when does morning sickness normaly occur in pregnancey? I have been feeling ill for a bout 3 weeks starting shortly after taken the second batch of pills and and asummed that it has been an emediate effect. However after doing a bit of reading on the net it seems that morning sickness develops after 3-4 weeks. Does anyone have any experience with this. I am worried that I may be further pregnant than I originaly asumed. I will go to visit a doctor tomorrow when my boyfreind returns from a trip away. If anyone has any knowlege on this matter I would apreciate

Hello, I know this is always a hot topic but I hope to recieve only positive response on this site please.

I just last nigh found out I am pregnant, I wish I could say this was a happy surprise but it is not well recieved news at this time.

I am a little confused to how this has happened, I had a accident on two occasions in the last month with my boyfreind, and on both occassions took the morning after pill. I was unsure if it was safe to take the morning after pill twice in the same month but my boyfreind spoke to the pharmacey and they said that this was fine and safe. Now I am unsure of how many weeks pregnant I am, if it happend on the first or second occasion. About a week after I took the second set of pills I had what I assumed was a period, which only lasted one day put My periods genrally are short and i put it down to side effects of the morning after pill.

I due to my finacial and mental state I do not wish to continue with the pregnancey. I have only last night realised that abortion is illegal in Thailand, although it seems it still happens if you know the right place to go. Has anyone here been in the same situation?

I am so unsure where to go, Is it best to return home to the u.k for treatment, or prehaps travel down to Signapore and go to a private clinic.

Freindly surportive advice is welcome only

Thanks

HI CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I CAN BY VINIGAR?

I LOVE THE STUFF, AND BALSAMIC FOR SALADS?

CERTAINLY CANNOT FIND IT IN MY LOCAL TESCO

THANKS

The bankok netball league site is http://www.bangkoknetball.com/ and the European Young Professionals site is http://www.europeanyoungprofessionals.com/. Certainly the latter is great for meeting people of all genders and natioalities, and plenty of farrang women go to their monthly meetings (no meeting in April though).

Thanks all for your help and suggestions, all are apreciated.

I may give the nettball a go but to be honest it has nevr been a big intrestof mine , well havent played since school days. You never know my compedative nature may be forced out!

im 27 from london, main intrests i guess are design, interiors, archetecture which i dont know much about. Sports im big into horse riding back in u.k but doent seem the right enviroment for that in bangkok. Music is also a big intrest.

already joined a big gym thats down stairs from my apartment.

ok keep the suggestions coming! its all good

Thanks alot for your messeges , I live in pinklao area so Have spent alot of time around phra ahtit road, and surrounding areas . havent ever met any girls that are sticking around only western guys with thai girlfreinds who from experience I have never found to freindly.

surpose i should just get out thee and force myself to mingle more, but it all becomes such a choir and so frustrating, such a change from home where your freindships are taken for granted.

Im not employed as im trying to set up my own small bussiness so contacts through work are limited and all thai.

Hi everyone,

Im posting this here as not many people seem to read or post on the meet up thread.

i have scene a lot of things put togher for guys, football teams, etc is there anything similar going on for the ladies and why dont i hear about it?

I have got to the point now where i cant be botherd to go out beacuse im tierd of having repedative conversations with travellers passing though, and thai freinds where conversation is unfortunatley limited at this stage.

Hello just looking for a bit of advice info etc...

been living in bangkok for the last 10 months, and of course its had it ups and downs but genraly things are good. The one thing however I really miss is my female freinds, well just mates of my own In genral.

Live in an aprtment with my thai boyf of two years and all is cool but the place we live at has no farang ladies as i'd previously hoped to meet. There are a couple of guys there with thai girls but they pretty much avoid eye contact with me. I have quite al ot of thai freinds who are really loveley and surpotive but to be honest sometimes I really just crave a bit of farang company....just to be around some people who know a bit more about where Im coming from.

I actually live pretty close to Banglampoo so of course there are plenty of farang about, but they are all just passing through and theres only so long you can have that repedative first converstaion.

So where do you girls in bangkok live? Im soon gonna be looking for a new aprtment , as shoe box living is not good or my health anyway. But a few ideas suggestions would be much apreciated.

look foward to hearing from you loveley ladies

when is the next night out then ladies?

Im new to this forum , although not new to Bangkok.

Anyways been living a bit of an isolated life and feel itis high time to meet some new female freinds for all the usaul girl girlie crap that I feel is essential to life.

so any ideas suggestions,

looking foward to meeting some of you, would be nice to even have a mate to hit the shops with who isnt a size 4!

Hi guys ,

I a 27 yrold English girl been living in Bangkok for the last year I what I can only describe as a shoebox.

The lack of space, the noise and the isolation from other farang is driving me crazy, so ok it time to finaly update or get outta bangkok.

Is anyone in similar circamstance and intrested in looking for a shared apartment get in touch or if you have a nice room availble alreday.

need to be able to getto the banglampoo area, thinking maybe pinklao is a good place to look.

Any suggetions?

cheers,
