I'll do theh same as you, but grab a hotel for a few days instead while I do my scouting.  I hate 'moving'.  Just want to plop down and get into a living routine asap since I have a business to run.

He is referring to Sukhumvit Road in  Bangkok. Soi 4 is directly oppisite Soi Nana and not far from the Expressway entrance. But I think you will not be inB

 Bangkok?

Oh, yeah, I'm in Pattaya area for the time being.  Makes sense why I couldn't find it then lol.

@papersource. can you give a little more detail on the location of the pharmacy please?  I tried googling sukhumvit and soi 4 but not having any good luck.  maybe you could even drop a pin of the map here?

thanks

The beaches being pretty dead now, and as it's the rainy season anyway, I'd mainly recommend Phuket Town as a base, particularly the quite scenic Old Town area. Plenty of good accommodation and a good variety of restaurants.

 

If it's gotta be beachside, I'd also recommend the Lagoon area in Bang Tao, as someone else has done here. Keep in mind the restaurants there are fairly upmarket (if open) and the area is very spread out. Without a motorbike at least you'll be very limited.

thank you for your suggestions.

Yeah, I have no idea of the layout of phuket.  I assumed there could be both beach view and busy area like Central Pattaya.  But maybe not?


Is Old Town central?

If So,   Sounds best to maybe get a hotel in Old town if it is central then do some real estate shopping of what's around.

You can get Bayer enthanate ampules at the little pharmacy on sukhumvit near the police box at soi 4. BUT these are from Bayer Pakistan not Bayer Germany and are a little different looking. Brown ampules that you need to score with an ampule opener/cutter (which I bought on ebay) . But I have used these for over one year and the testosterone is exactly the same as Bayer germany. I looked it up online and is a legit subsidiary in Pakastan. They come in a box of 3 ampules and are not expensive.

It is being sold by some body builder sites but the product is not registered for sale in Thailand.

 

In fact that manufacturer has no products registered on the Thai market.

 

Now it is possible that others nonetheless illegally import it. Or they could be selling a counterfeit. You take your chances.

It's sold at a pharmacy in Pattaya off the shelf.

How do you check what is registered for sale in Thailand?  do you have a link?

Where do you recommend making trusted T purposes (if not a pharmacy)?

Personally, I'm looking for a place that preferably has a sea view.  or a nice villa.

Looked on airbnb for a second and seems to be some really nice villas between 25000 and30000.  Except I had NO idea if there were located anywhere central.

Those prices also shocked me, as I thought Phuket was more expensive than Pattaya in general.

I'd like to hear suggestions as well.  We like being in the "city" busy areas (this is now a relative term with the situation. I get it).

Stick to legitimate, registered brands of this. In Thailand if you specifically want Testosterone enanthate there are 2 options:

 

Testoviron by Bayer (was out of stock, not sure if still is)

Depo Test 250 by Unigen

 

If Testosterone cypionate  is OK then another choice would be Cypionax

Rotexmedica is also an available pharmacy level T

You'll likely ahve to get a covid extension first..or a medical.  I really don't know the real "last day" to get a long term extension. But the rate is going up daily. Probably an additional 10k since Monday.

 

Might as well have said "Free Gold". 

Just as believable a headline.

I thought they insisted on hand drawn maps at CM

this is what they had me do at the IM office

Is this instead of a hand drawn map or in addition to?

simple way is
1.  do google maps on phone of your address.
2.  screenshot it

3.  then print it out.

You can't get the regular extension after the Covid-19 extension. Also, I thought you'd already got your volunteer visa.

I did.  The question is not for myself.

You don't need an embassy letter and you get the extension on the same day you apply so it's easier to convert it to a non-immigrant visa later.

I ask because I have the embassy letter, and it seems maybe prudent to hold onto my 30 day regular extension as long as possible if the embassy and IM are continuing to hand out 30 day covid extensions.

Price at Thai Visa Centre has gone up to 30k for initial 3 months since 15th Sept.

I was pre-told by one of the agencies if I miss "last day" it goes up by 5000.  (Which by deduction told me there is no "last day") 
If you have enough money, you get to stay. 

that would be dumb to deny ANYONE the same rate if your goal is to fill rooms during this country shut-down

what's the benefit of taking the normale 30 day extension over the Covid 30 day extension?   anything?

10 hours ago, edwardandtubs said:

Yes you can pay the 60,000 upfront if you want but they don't offer any discount for doing it that way unlike the ones in Pattaya.

I'm talking about VIP.  I already purchased.  The fees are the fees I quoted above.

2 minutes ago, edwardandtubs said:

No, they offer 25,000 for the initial 3 months then 35,000 for the yearly extensions. That's a good price if you know you're going to stay in Thailand for years because you can keep extending it for 35,000.

she offered both 90 day and 15 month upfront.

do VIP visa also take care of the 90 day reports?

I think so.  I just asked.  Easiest way for you to find out is just go on fb and message them instead of me being middle man actually.

May was very helpful, and has very good reviews.

Thai centre above also had nearly 350 good google reviews.  but they were in Bangkok.  Bit of a drive for me.  VIP is in Pattaya/ Jomtien so close by.

 

VIP visa was 55k.  I think thai visa center was 65k for one year volunteer visa extensions.
