NONG CHOK

Hi there, I've tried all the information mentioned here in regards to acid reflux, so far nothing has worked. So I suppose my next step is a visit to a doctor and or hospital. So any suggestions for hospital treatment in Pattaya and the approximate cost. Thanks.

I mean it's more like Thai ladies scamming farangs.

That's certainly a first.

I was born into a working class one income family at the end of WW2. Of course I like to have money but for essentials. I remember waiting months for my first football before my dad could pay for it. Credit cards have stuffed up the World, people buy things they can't really afford and in many cases don't need. I'm a property owner in Thailand so I don't pay rent and I'm totally debt free. My Isarn wife can't walk past a shop or market without buying something. I used to give her 10,000 baht for house keeping money. I soon changed that as she was always running out of money. Now I do all the shopping and have taken control. She threw a wobbly and when I told her it was my way or the highway she pulled her head in. I've been married 20 years and my parents taught me not to spend beyond my means. Her indoors still doesn't understand that. It's another saga with Thai parents they teach there kids nothing.

What about a reduction in the fare if your trip was unsatisfactory.

Why can't Thai people accept the fact that even if Pita and the MFP had gained 100% of the votes in their favor he still wouldn't be PM. The elite have done everything to make sure of that. If Pheu Thai does anything to anger the elite another coup maybe just around the corner. MFP would be wise to start planning for the next election now and getting everything in order and keep their fingers crossed. There will always be threats of coups until the head honcho takes control.

Slow down, I never made any racist remarks about them or even call them nasty. Sharing a small beer, demanding a WIFI pin and expecting a free game of pool is not the normal way tourists live.

I think you missed my point, tourists even in the back packer areas around the World, get out and enjoy themselves. I wouldn't say sharing a small beer and a smoke among 3 guys is enjoying yourself. In all my years in Pattaya I've met people from many different countries. Not once has an Indian spoken to me, actually I've never heard an Indian speak English. A holiday is normally once a year where we tend to live well above our normal means.

Hi there, As the title suggests Indians in Pattaya amaze me. Around 11.30 am I went to the Bodega Bar on the corner of Pattaya Klang and Soi Post Office. After a long walk and shopping at Villa Mart I decided to relax there. After about 30m minutes in walks these 3 big Indians. They studied the drink menu for at least 5 minutes. Then they bought one Heineken and shared it. Then one lit up a smoke and they shared that. They all wanted to know the Bodega Bars free WIFI. When that settled down they wanted to play pool. When they were told they needed to pay 20 baht per game, their very dark black complexion nearly turned green. What TAT sees in these types of tourists amazes me. I'm not a tourist I'm a condo owner and I've lived in Pattaya for the past 20 years.

Let's get this straight, again it's the BRB's not doing their job. The down and outers most who come from up North should be arrested and sent back to the address on their Thai ID's. Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket aren't the promised World unless a person has employment there. In saying that what BRB would arrest a down and outer as there's no money in it.

Hi all, thanks for your recent comments. Lazada does work ok as suggested but make sure you click on Chonburi then Banglamung. Her indoors knocked up a temporary way to raise my head and already I've noticed improvement. You do need a wide pillow because you will certainly move while you're sleeping and you will probably roll off the pillow, then you're back to the original problem.

Hi there, like many older guys I've recently noticed I have acid reflux symptoms. Does anyone know where I can buy an acid reflux pillow in Pattaya? I've tried several locations near my condo. I've even tried Fascino near the rear of Terminal 21 without success. They're for sale on the Lazada website but when changing my Lazada address the drop downs don't show Pattaya 10530, so I can't complete the order. Thanks.

What's the rules for babies being carried in motor cycle baskets as happens regularly where I live.

You amaze me OMF, firstly you're not Thai so how do you know what goes on in Thai politics, even Thais don't know. I can assure you that Thaksin is not the only bad man in Thai politics. If a senior Thai MP wasn't totally bent he wouldn't be a Thai MP in the first place. So why single out Thaksin, balance your posts out with substantiated stories instead of singling out one person. If Thaksin had've been eligible to stand at the last election, the senators would've packed up and moved on. Whether you like it or not the bulk of Thai voters are down trodden people from the country who support the Kingdoms needs by working hard on their farms. Where as you live in your luxury Bangkok apartment without a vote, which you must find quite discomforting at times.

Where I live I see many monks when I go for my early morning walk. It makes me wonder how many are genuine. Many are obese males in their mid 30's who need to toughen up and get a job unless they are genuine believers. My wife told me that many are sugar freaks who've run away from personal issues rather than face the issues up front. I'm not Buddhist bashing as I have 3 brother in laws who are monks and all in their 60's.

The free haircuts are still available over the road from Tukcom in South Road every Friday.

She must have been offering freebies.

Big deal, a side that can't win back the Ashes on their home soil and conditions can hardly claim to be winners.

I suspect that this guy thinks he's a poor mans Mickey Rooney.

Hi there, I did drink a lot be beer and never really took care of my diet in my younger years. Now I'm 80 years old, reduced my weight by 20 kg's and still walk 90 minutes daily. Over the last 5 years I've developed chronic acid reflux. I'm very careful what I eat and reduced my beer intake to a few every day. I've been to several hospitals and many doctors but I've never improved. I take Omeprazole 20mg daily with no success. Any suggestion of any other treatment or OTC medicine. Thanks.

I've been living in Pattaya for the past 20 years, I own my own property and rarely eat out away from my condo. I've noticed the biggest increase besides pork is beer in bars. I go out when I want to but do most of my drinking in my condo and I do drink less.

Hi there, Does anyone know where the Pattaya to Korat bus leaves from and what times they depart. I was going to drive there next month but her indoors can't wait. A typical Thai reaction. Thanks.
