  1. That's it. Much better than before, but note that it is low season now. No visit, as almost always, without a problem. They insist now on passport photos with the person in front of a white background. Needed to do new ones, had no problem in previous years.
  2. See a doctor if you are not on a super low budget. Purple skin in my case. "Oh, you have infection..." She gave me a cream, problem solved. PIH.

    Wordpress

    I went to fiverr and got quick, competent and inexpensive assistance from a man in Bangladesh. Many kinds of services including IT offered. fiverr.com
  4. How can I copy not one page, but my whole blog at wordpress? How to clone the whole blog one-to-one? Anyone who can help here or knows someone in Pattaya for (paid) assistence?
  5. Famotidine, up to 40 mg per day, is an OTC medication that I take. Lighter than omeprazole which I suppose should not be taken for too long time. I take omepazole only when I am approaching a big dinner event. - Lose weight. Eat not later than 6 pm or so. - With stomach problems, consider to make a hospital test on helicobacter pylori.
  6. Yes, do it. A fascinating place. I was in Siem Reap again in July 2022. Not many tourists, primarily people from Cambodia. The one-day-ticket was valid the day after, too.
  7. Never had a problem over the years. Still, all valuables are in the bag I have on my seat and always take with me. Years ago, big buses starting from Khao San Road were reported to be risky when it comes to luggage. Some small guys went - during the drive - through a small door to the luggage compartment and started digging the bags, stealing valuable. There were stories like that.
  8. https://luckytaxibangkokpattaya.com/ Just used Lucky again. Good service. Jomtien to BKK Airport 1200 Baht all incl. with Camry.

    Haircut in Pattaya

    South Pattaya Road, Soi 13. Five barbers or so. They all charge 120 Baht. Walk-in.
  10. I applied for Bangkok Bank Visa card and got it; plus a bonus card, Aisasia Mastercard. I opened a special account to my existing one, put 100 000 Baht on it. The limit for both cards therefore is 100 000 Baht. Note: It's the American system; you pay only a part of the debt per month; it takes another 20 or so forms to be printed and signed to make the agreement: Pay the full debt every month.

  12. Never had a problem to change Euro into Dong. In Vietnam. Guess you will have a bad exchange rate should you decide to change GBP into VND out of Vietnam.
  13. Minivan starts several times per day from Ekamai. Desk 10.
  14. I paid up to 60 Baht per can in normal restaurants. Elevated, but not brazenly overpriced.
  15. At Lotus, at one time, I let my full shopping cart stand and walked away as I could not accept the final amount given by the cashier. The girl had what was on her display. No discussion. I always roughly calculate in my brain how much the whole shopping will be. Not without reason, as I figured out -- in shops, they "miscount" from time to time. Or they make a mistake with your change money.
  16. Well, to see that Bangkok Bank has a branch at North Pattaya road. Another few hundred meters away in Tesco Mall. Another probably close by in Terminal 21. Plus several ATMs ... A shrinking process makes sense, seems overdue, the more as Thais may discover online banking.
  17. I am a customer there and was always treated to my full satisfaction. 2 crowns for 16 000 Baht, no problems. The Thai dentist makes the work, and before the crowns are set or before everything comes to an end, the owner comes over for a quality control. The owner, Michael Schlatter, is German. Not a dentist, but a dental technician. Therefore, he has Thai dentists working for him. He has his own dental laboratory in the building. They work only monday thru thursday.
  18. Just did it yesterday in Jomtien. No people waiting outside in line. (Little later some guys.) 10 Minutes to make it to the counter. Another 10 minutes to get your passport back. Fee as before, 1000/3800 Baht.
  19. By the way: Leaving Thailand at Aranyaprathet border, can I get a re-entry permit there or should I go to the immigration before? (Will fly back to Thailand from Phnom Penh.)
