  1. Hello Try in Tesco Lotus South Pattaya Outlet Mall down floor , when entering the mall on your left the 1st 3 shops right after the suitcase shop..They sell rejection of export stocks.. I purchased dockers pants there 400 bahts last month..You have to search in the huge quantity of pants of different brands. Good luck
  2. Forgot to answer one point.. When you leave France you're covered for max 3 months by french social security (travel purpose) Therefore I recommended contracting CFE during this 3 months period.. Don't forget to change your tax department you're moving abroad and you will then be on Centre des non residents Noisy le Grand center..Depending if you have only 1 pension or various, this will reduce your tax..Also inform your retirement pension companies as you won t pay any CSG/Crds on your pension.. For tax too difficult to explain it on the site and also is of no interest for majority of participants.. If you need infos pls send a private message Have a good day .
  3. Hello You can see covering details and price on CFE website.. Advantage is the price, you are covered mainly 60 to 65 % of spent money..Also they take in charge preexisting health conditions (which usually are excluded by private insurances) Pls note that maximum price taken into account for refund is the price for same treatment in France..if you avoid private luxury hospitals it is OK..we go to Queen Sirikit, excellent doctors and reasonable price. We had purchased a condo but sold it recently taking into account this would be a problem for our kids when time comes and we now rent.. Finally we find it better..we took a 3 years contract as it was our choice..but you can take shorter ones..Also, renting allows you to move if you wish or...if noisy neighbours have appeared, which happens here and which is a difficult issue to solve.. Have a good day
  4. Hello We are french and retired here for nearly 10 years..We had before spent 5 years in Thailand from 2000 and 2005.. We also stayed in other countries ..India..South America and to tell the truth, even if it is not perfect here (which country is ?) we enjoy it here.. First of all, go for a O visa (not for OA visa as this would require an expensive health thai insurance) As a health insurance go for CFE (caisse francais de l etranger) and subscribe at least before 3 months after leaving France).. Then choose where you would like to live... Islands are nice for holiday, but for long term not so much..Phuket, climate seems to us quite humid "tropical"..Chiang Mai, cold in winter + no sea + haze issues ...so we are happy with Pattaya choice..we live a bit outside, right on the beach, climate is good, all types of restaurants to go out, not far from airport or Bangkok, good hospitals and close to Bangkok if you still need better ones.. We understand your wish to leave France, as we wouldn't like to go back at any cost Have a great day
  5. Thank you very much.. I think I will replace the bathtub by similar one.. I will also ask Homepro how much they charge (price might be different as they have to remove the preexisting bathtub) I won t upgrade as I am only the tenant of the condo and landlord does not want to do anything.. Bathtub is actually I think the one which was put when the condo was built 30 years ago.. Yes it is fiberglass and impossible to clean.. i tried all products and also scrubbing even with metal sponge does not remove the existing dark brown stains.. Have a nice day
  6. Hello I have progressive lens on a silhouette frame.. If you talk about Rutnin hospital I would not recommend buying lenses there, when I checked last time I went there, they were very expensive (when medical checking is at very fair price for excellent service) If in Pattaya go to Pattaya optical on Klang not far from previous Topp s supermarket. Good price, good quality serious and competent and owner is English fluent Have a good day
  7. Hello "Indian by nature" is very good.. fine dining so not cheap but excellent value for money Have a nice holiday
  8. Thanks a lot.. Checking on internet I found this also and few other ones..My concern is to know if it really is OK for sometime..in fact a basic white new bath tub comes to the same price than the paint..the problem is to find a decent reasonably priced plumber to fit it in.. Have a good afternoon
  9. Hello What could be a reasonable price for a 30 Sqm ceiling repainting (white on white).. To be done in Ban Amphoe..if the guy is a handy man, could also replace a bath tub (same size as old one) this in order to give some more work and get more interest.. Any reco ? Thanks a lot Have a good day
  10. Good morning I rent a condo and landlord doesn't make any maintenance/improvement.. The bathtub is in good shape but the colour is totally ruined..I saw abroad that some paints exist to "refurbish" this type of equipment..Anyone already did that ? Does this type of paint exist in Thailand (brand and type please) and in case, will this paint last (I 99% use the separate shower but would like the bathtub to look better) Thanks everybody in advance for feedback Have a nice day
  11. Hello I really understand how you feel as we had the same issue 3 years back when a Thai lady with kids came to live above us..The younger child about 6 years old kept running all over the place.. on top of it, early morning and late night, she was pushing furnitures.. She was very rude when asked to solve the issue and the ex husband we informed when he visited said at this age children cannot walk very well, therefore banging the feet on the floor !! We contacted a specialist in Europe to try and solve the issue and answer was, it is easy to isolate from top but not that much from underneath..His advice was to do what you plan to do but to keep the false ceiling hanging and dissociate it on the sides from the walls.. We decided to put our condo for sale and fortunately managed to sell our condo and now rent somewhere else.. Management was aware.. didn't do anything.. noisy neighbour didn't either..so better to go than getting the hassle.. Should it happen again in our new location we would move... Nobody cares about noise in this country.. Have a good day
  12. Thank you.. Finally went for multi point water heater (following Crossy s explanation) but followed your advice and went for a Stiebel Eltron Have a good day
  13. Thanks a lot to all. After Crossy s info (outlet blocked) I understood the point Have a good day
  14. Hello Would this be convenient ? again, it will just be on for a few minutes taking a short shower (we and our family are used no to waste water in unnecessary long showers) and turned off immediately after.. Thank you Have a good day https://www.lazada.co.th/products/qpio-4500-10-i4462294541-s17976222939.html?
  15. Good morning I am refurbishing my guest bathroom (used only a few weeks per year).. For the moment there is a "shower heater" apparently with a "hand" shower and 2 taps in the lower part of the shower I change the shower system to fix a rain shower mixer The existing water (or shower) heater is not working any more (just moved in 2 months ago and never checked) In Homepro I had a look at the "instant" systems to get hot water and prices go from 2000 till 7000 or more.. They gave me a type of explanation I could not understand saying I should go for the more expensive ones as I could not set a shower heater but a water heater.. The employee finally told me that if I use what they call shower heater, the guarantee would not work and it would break very soon as not adapted for my shower system..I don t understand what they try to explain and frankly speaking as it will be used only a few weeks per year (even maybe not as guests mainly come in summer time) I am not ready to go for expensive water heater unless really compulsory. Could someone explain me what I should buy and why ? Thank you very much in advance Have a nice day
  16. Thank you.. He will have a copy of the consent letter made to authorities in Argentina,, I don t know if it will be in spanish or also in other languages..To be safe do you feel it is anyway better to have another letter written by the mother in english and confirming this (he will also add to it a copy of the mother s ID and passport I think this should be fine Thanks a lot

The boy has both name (my son and his mother) on his passport Question, is any document needed to enter Thailand or exit from Thailand for this yound child Thanks a lot Have a nice day
  20. Hello Jomtien side, extremely happy with 3BB for 8 years..I have 3BB fiber for 4 years..excellent service, reliable and problems quickly solved. I moved 3 months back and contacted them asking how to do. They asked when I moved and told me to go from my condo with the router and to be at 9 o clock in new condo..They were there, fixed the router..I had internet till last minute in previous condo, and from 1st minute in new one Have a good day

Have a nice evening
  22. Hello The truth is for us in Ban Pakard the IO immediately called an agent sitting just opposite his office.. We didn't think we needed one..but understood we could get in trouble if refusing his services.. I asked him if he would take care of Cambodian side..Answer was yes.. Actually told us to sit there and agent went alone to Cambodia border..10 minutes later, he was back, proceeded with us through Thai immigration.. Total 30 minutes between reaching to Thai border and back in the car with exempt visa.. Have a nice day
