  1. Yeah, you are right. I like the salade bar in the Lotus Sukhumvit, its the main reason I go there, Makro is great, some good steaks
  2. My gripe with Lotus is they have so many products with no price in the food section, seems nearly everything I want has no price This includes the Sukhumvit Road Lotus big store Pattaya, and the two Lotus Fresh stores in Pratumnak that I use. I would not be surprised to see the one on soi 5 near the beach Pratumnak close, now the other one is open on the hill
  3. Exit 3 from MRT large motorbike group there, 30 baht to the passport building
  4. I recently got a new 10 year UK passport, I asked my agent when getting stamps transferred to ask immigration not to staple, she said words to the effect, "its what they do, sorry" My last one was littered with staple holes Just renewed 1 year visa, no staples, so maybe they are learning as more people ask them not to
  5. This is the same group of the British guy arrested a few weeks ago, by looks of it https://thethaiger.com/news/pattaya/british-man-and-thai-women-arrested-over-300m-baht-investment-scam
  6. Mine using Kbank has taken nearly 3 weeks to get back from them
  7. Looks like the election today will be won by bhumjaithai party, The PM elect is the one that brought the liberalization of cannabis
  8. There is a place in Pratumnak, Pattaya, where hundreds will be enjoying a beer all night in the open air, always does on "dry" days and never been touched by the police
  9. Going to be interesting in 7-11s when they have to pull the shutters down at 6pm, specially like the busy ones at sunset points like soi 5 Pratumnak
  10. The phrase "Great Scare of Forty-Five" likely refers to the Jacobite rising of 1745 (often called "the 'Forty-Five'"), a major rebellion in Scotland and Northern England. Been watching Outland, a great TV series, and this is featured heavily in the first 3 series
  11. Foodmart in Jomtien has some very good Sauerkraut and pickles not in tins, I transfer them to glass jars
  12. They went against all advice from family, friends, and the government. Why should staff there risk their lives.
  13. I have been getting some good stuff in TikTok shops, some good bedding deals, very fast delivery
  14. I was in there today, looks like they have re-arranged the office, maybe the short term reason for a communication break down The staff in there are brilliant
  15. No more cosy phone chats between Trump and Putin hopefully, good for Ukraine
  16. Got a message yesterday, passport ready for collection, it took 10 days. Very fast. Edit: was a renewal
  17. I just used them for my UK passport, very efficient, and yes, better than the Trendy building Got the MRT to Rama 9 exit 3, motorbike taxi from there B30 , there is a shuttle also
  18. Thanks, I will try the south Makro.
  19. Old thread, but large bottles of Sam Miguel Light are no longer it seems, shame, it was my "at home beer" I did an AI search, this is the reason - Large bottles of San Miguel Light seem to have disappeared or become rare in Thailand due to shifts in local beer market focus (more towards Leo, Chang, Singha), changing consumer tastes (health-conscious options like San Mig Zero), distribution changes (like Budweiser taking over the license from Carlsberg), and potentially reduced demand for large formats in favor of smaller, more convenient sizes, though exact reasons vary by location and time . Distribution & Licensing: Carlsberg lost the San Miguel license to Budweiser Brewing Group in July 2024, which can alter product availability.
  20. If 40 more drop out, the UK might win at last
  21. Never had a problem getting Naproxen at a pharmacy, up till now you could only get 250 mg, recently had a little motorbike prang, needed some for the pain, they now do a 550 mg one name of "Sonap Forte" in Pratumnak, Pattaya As mentioned, Fascino has the 250 mg, they don't list all drugs on their website https://ndi.fda.moph.go.th/drug_detail/index/?rctype=1A&rcno=4800030&register=MUEgMzAvNDg= In Thai, but you get the info
  22. D3+K2 7mk , Magnesium Glycinate, Lutein for eye health, and just added NAD+ I also try to get plenty of Zinc and VitC
