If you have insurance, then the company will foot the bill, so why you want to use a lower grade hospital instead?

Well, with a limit on the insurance coverage, the expensive hospitals will max out my coverage pretty fast. I had a friend involved in a motorbike accident and spent one night in Bangkok Pattaya Hospital for observation, cost him 100,000 baht.

Hi, Can anyone recommend an insurance company that's accepted at Pattaya City Hospital? 

The insurance company I have now has an approved hospital list and PCH isn't on their list, they only want me to use the expensive places, I don't have any medical issues so the idea of paying big money for small issues is a joke. 

Any input is appreciated.

There's a farang owned food shop that specializes in meats/pork, etc over on the Darkside, maye stop in and speak with the owner.

Over the years I've had translated paperwork legalized by going to a translation office on Soi Post Office then taking the translated paperwork to the government office in Central Festival/4th floor and having them put the official stamp.

Sometimes there's a minor correction needed and have to go back to Soi post Office for the correction.

Same, same in Pattaya, Makro has them maybe 2 or 3 times a year from what I've seen. Very cheap when they get them, though, if I see them I buy a few kilos and pickle them.

I was going to say the same thing, the Makro in Pattaya (on Suk) has had them in the past but it's an occasional thing, not an everyday item, maybe stop by and ask them if/when they might get them in again.

Stop buy Num Chai Service Center on Sukhumvit & Siam Country Club, they have a good repair team.

You can get quality ones off of Lazada.

Thanks for your reply. 🙏 I saw that there were two options and one involved a video interview with a representative.

This is the way I got my ID.me account approved, I made a video phone call and IIRC I had to show my face and passport (or driver's license, it was a long time ago), it was a quick call and now I have no problem logging in.

Theft of smartphones have fallen year on year. A key factor for this continual decline could be that smartphone security has improved to a point that it’s no longer worth stealing them; with Face ID, trackers, and fingerprint scanners, it’s now harder for criminals to wipe and fence stolen property.

Phone parts are expensive these days, maybe the thief wanted to strip it down and use/sell the parts of the phone.

The process is easy. I did it online & by mail last year.  Just follow the directions EXACTLY.  No fudging = no drama! I got mine back in 5 or 6 as advertised. Worked like a charm!  Good luck!

After living in Thailand for over 17 years, and as a US citizen I've renewed my passport here twice with the embassy in Bangkok; zero drama, zero problems.  Some people are a magnet for confusion, drama & problems.

So what's preventing the other one from filing charges?

The Khasosod English article mentions a daughter, presumably Mr. Ricki and Ms. Mod are the parents.

 

Very confusing...

 

Ms. Mod revealed details of her husband’s statement to the police, saying that while people at the party were drinking until they were drunk, Mr. Igor began to make flirtatious comments toward their daughter, even though Mr. Igor’s wife was also at the party.

 

The Russian man then began to sexually harass their daughter, walking up to her and whispering in her ear that he wanted to have sex with her. This angered Mr. Ricki, who punched Mr. Igor in the face once, causing him to fall to the ground.... อ่านข่าวต้นฉบับได้ที่ :

His Facebook page says he single, but does show photos/videos of his daughter.

It states that the Russians wife was in attendance so why would he make sexual advances unless he had other ideas ! 

Plenty of stories about private swinging pool parties in the Pattaya area, maybe this was one of them.

It's the Russians fault...with literally millions of women here for sale...why try it on with a man's wife...had the same myself 3 months ago but put a stop to it with a few cuffs around his head. Leave people's wives alone!!!

Many years back in my younger days I was in a Walking Street disco, I see a nice looking Thai lady standing alone, so I go up to her and say something harmless like "Hello, how are you?" and she politely smiles, then some farang that was just off to the side talking to someone else at the next table gets in my face with his chest puffed out, arms popped out to the side like he's ready to throw a punch, angrily saying that's his gf.  I quickly say ok, I didn't know and stepped away.  Some farangs are too quick to want to fight over their gfs/wives.

We don't know if the Russian was aware of the lady's status or was or was not warned to step back,  had to say it's his fault without more info.
