Fish n' Chips in Pattaya ?
- Should you tell people they are unfit ?
My response would be "Go F yourself."- Wish to purchase Blood Pressure Home Machine.
Withings BPM Connect - Arm Blood Pressure Monitor, Wi-Fi Synchronization This is a great, compact, and accurate blood pressure checker. It automatically uploads to the app on my phone, and I can download results anytime, anywhere. It really comes in handy when I need to print out the results for my doctor. They have them for sale on Lazada, a Bangkok store. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i967200909-s9030918435.html?c=&channelLpJumpArgs=&clickTrackInfo=query%3AWithings%2BBPM%2BConnect%2B-%2BArm%2BBlood%2BPressure%2BMonitor%252C%2BWi-Fi%2BSynchronization%3Bnid%3A967200909%3Bsrc%3ALazadaMainSrp%3Brn%3A70fbe664c1e06d7a3b82eaff6d02dbf3%3Bregion%3Ath%3Bsku%3A967200909_TH%3Bprice%3A4699%3Bclient%3Adesktop%3Bsupplier_id%3A1000277632%3Bbiz_source%3Ah5_hp%3Bslot%3A1%3Butlog_bucket_id%3A470687%3Basc_category_id%3A9053%3Bitem_id%3A967200909%3Bsku_id%3A9030918435%3Bshop_id%3A505336%3BtemplateInfo%3A107882_D_E%23-1_A3_C%231103_L%23&freeshipping=0&fs_ab=2&fuse_fs=&lang=en&location=Bangkok&price=4699&priceCompare=skuId%3A9030918435%3Bsource%3Alazada-search-voucher%3Bsn%3A70fbe664c1e06d7a3b82eaff6d02dbf3%3BoriginPrice%3A469900%3BdisplayPrice%3A469900%3BsinglePromotionId%3A-1%3BsingleToolCode%3AmockedSalePrice%3BvoucherPricePlugin%3A0%3Btimestamp%3A1754453843036&ratingscore=5.0&request_id=70fbe664c1e06d7a3b82eaff6d02dbf3&review=6&sale=25&search=1&source=search&spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.1&stock=1- Question: Electrical Problem
Get a qualified electrician to check it. I had a similar problem, and it turned out that the main breakers were faulty. I had the electrician completely replace both breaker boxes, and all is well now. I even had him run a separate circuit to a refrigerator that we had added as extra insurance.- Anyone bought a (decent) office chair from Lazada?
Avoid buying junk, as you'll end up replacing it repeatedly. Buy a quality chair like Secretlab. Just enter Secretlab chair into the search box. Sometimes you get what you pay for.- Does anybody use Lineman or Food Panda?
I use Food Panda, although there aren't as many delivery drivers as Line/Grab has. Line/Grab isn't English-friendly.- Road Raging Motorbikes
I should have stated where, generally, the Jomtien, Pattaya area. When you hear them cuss, it's a European/Australian voice.- Road Raging Motorbikes
What is with all of the European motorbike drivers that feel a duty to lay on their horn, cuss you out, and flip you the bird? It seems like a weekly occurrence as they feel a need to exceed the speed limit, lane split, and generally cut you off when they see the opportunity and then yell profanity and wave obscene gestures when all I'm trying to do is stay in my lane and observe the speed limits, when I do change lanes I signal. I'm careful to check all of my mirrors prior, which can be treacherous when a road-raging motorbike chooses excessive speed and lane splitting. It's not a boxing match, a race track, or a venue to show off your manly traits. Is this the way you drive in your home country? Just rude, inconsiderate, and downright dangerous.- Why do they never stop at Zebra Crossings?
Traffic law enforcement here isn't enforced. Rarely do I see police issuing tickets except during road-side checks which can prove to be a cash cow for them.- Should I buy a condo or rent?
Rent first and get to know the area and the condo I've rented in different places over a half dozen years or so before buying. Once you purchase, you're stuck; be sure it's the one that works for you. I bought a nice sea-view unit that I will never resell; I will only give it back to my family upon my eventual demise.- Illegal to change lanes on a bridge?
It must be a cash cow for them.- Mometasone nose spray... other brand than Nasonex?
I'm certainly not an expert or even a healthcare professional, but I procure 2 types of nasal spray at the local pharmacies here in Jomtien. The 1st type is Phindroz with the mentioned 0.05% Oxymetazoline (oxymetazoline) and the 2nd type is Nasol with 0.1% naphazoline and 0.25% chlorpheniramine. They seem to do the trick for me although they sometimes raise the blood pressure a little but they are available locally. https://pharmacy.mahidol.ac.th/dic/knowledge_full.php?id=57 Good luck with your search.- Driving lessons / license for car (no Thai, no experience)
J&E Concierge gives driver's license classes to foreigners with different languages. They also will take you to get the license(s) after graduation. https://www.facebook.com/conciergepattaya - Should you tell people they are unfit ?
