  1. We have bought 3 pedigrees over the years from a company called PerfectPedigreeThailand. Below is from their website. They always post new puppies available. We were able to see Mum & Dad with every purchase via video call https://www.perfectpedigreethailand.com/available-puppies.html Prices ranged from 20k - 35k depending on the breed. Our Vision We want you to enjoy the process of finding a new family member while we take care of all the details. We are approachable and always ready to help. We provide an ethical and convenient service to enable dog lovers in Thailand to find world-class purebred puppies.
  2. Interesting that in just a few short decades it has become perfectly 'normal' to send toddlers off to school. The first 5 years are the single most important stage in a child's development. I get that everyone needs babysitting. No-one seems to want their young children around the house all day. The role of Mothers has changed so much that she wants and needs more time away from demanding young children (and boy are they demanding!) Over here in Asia 'pre-school' and 'nursery' means scheduled instruction time. Group reading at 10am, paint play at 2pm etc. If you have the time, energy and money and are purely focused on the brain development of the young child, then a stimulating home environment offering plenty of resources for curious minds is the best avenue you can take. If you can afford it then hiring a babysitter/aupair type (someone who will actually do things with the child and not just watch TV) is a great addition. Children do not actively group-play until they are around 4-7 years old. Prior to that they 'parallel play'. This means they play alongside other children but do not actively seek much engagement in order to develop the understanding of the task at hand. But I do get it, and especially among the Thai Mums, they seem to love the structure, lifestyle, uniforms and 'cuteness' of their little toddlers going off to school everyday. Just don't be in a rush to start the institutionalised learning if you really could adapt home and all the loved ones there to nurture the young mind(s) at home and around your local community. ????
  3. Pattaya has changed a lot in the 20 years I have been here. Today there are 12 international schools here in Pattaya and many English Programme schools on top of that. Families are a large part of the Pattaya community and it shows with all the schools, activities, malls and restaurants that cater to families. Naklua area (especially Wongamat) is a very family friendly holiday location. Just stay away from Soi Buhkhow and the adjacent roads - that's where you will find all the girls and boys showing their wares to passerby clients, and of course Walking Street is a place to steer clear of as well as Pattaya beach after dark. You may find specific info on family friendly places at www.PattayaParent.com
  4. For the parents and families here it can be a great event to watch if you get the location right! We have a few families getting together to watch as a group https://pattayaparent.com/community/events-pattaya/fireworks-festival-25-26th-nov/#post-53
  5. Wherever you go, make sure you get a DVD of the procedure. That way if you need a second opinion you won't need a new procedure. My husband had a coloscopy at PIH and was told he had 'advanced cancer' directly after the procedure. Not only did he NOT have cancer (biopsy was clear) but he had diverticulitis - a very serious infection. Bumrungrad seems to be better priced these days compared to BPH. Just the other day I needed quotes for a spine MRI. Bumrungrad 17k, BPH 54k
  6. I'm looking for a few large trees, preferably like an Acacia or the African Umbrella tree - strong tall trunk and wide canopy. I am in Pattaya and have driven around and into Chonburi but cannot find much more than palm varieties. There was an old guy selling trees off the 331, I bought a few about 4 years ago. He has died and his shop/site has gone. Anyone know where to buy?
