  1. I've had this licensed electrician do some work on my home a few years back, his English is good and he's not expensive, Not sure if he's still working but maybe give him a call; Mr Jaroon 081-862-5291.

    Does anyone know by chance where there is still a small clinic in Pattaya where you can get a health certificate for the extension of your 5-year driver's license inexpensively and easily? 
    The small clinic near Soi Siam Country Road, where I was five years ago, unfortunately no longer exists and I don't want to go to a hospital because of it. 

     

    I got my medical certificate May of this year at a small clinic on Soi Nern Plab Wan, all paperwork and screening was done sitting outside, 150 baht, located on the left hand side while driving towards Pattaya City, a few hundred meters east of the train tracks.

    Is the service back to normal yet as I need to renew my license? Please??

    I renewed my licenses back in May of this year, and even though they were expired by 6 months I was still allowed to just take the color vision and depth perception test to get my licenses renewed.  No appointment needed or agency used. I showed up at 1 in the afternoon as was out the door in a little under 2 hours. 

    Just make sure you have all the proper paperwork (medical and residence certificates and copies of passport)

  4. Like others have said, 400 baht, over here in Nong Prue, the wife went to the local government office and they gave her a list of independent operators you can call and ask. Last time the old man told me to take a look at the meter before and after the pumping to get an idea of how much was pumped out.

  5. This would stop overnight if the western governments gave travelling Thai elites a dose of their own medicine but anyone with half a brain should realize by now that their governments don't represent their interests anymore. 
    Here in the USA, if a foreigner wants to go to a college/university, they pay waayyyy more than a US citizen, isn't that double pricing?
  6. Using poison will only make the rat die off in a hidden location, possibly stinking up your area. Glue or rat traps allows you to discard the rat in the garbage.

  7. Many of the larger hotels like Dusit Thani, have banquet rooms for special events such as yours and they have event planners to help with food, music etc, and have ample parking.
    Or you can try larger restaurants, many are available for private parties, then work on finding a DJ or band.

  8. Go to the weekend market opposite Bangkok Pattaya hospital on Friday, they should be instock, usually selling Nippon grass and Bermuda grass, I bought some a few years ago, I think it was 20 baht per sod, they also sell soil and available to level your soil and install for a fee.

    Been doing this for more than 5 years - so is it only the admin checking stuff bit the only thing that is new?

     

    Mine has to be manually read but then the meter reader prints out the bill using a hand held terminal which I then pay at Big C or Lotus so not sure what you mean?

    Many years ago, I filled out a form from PWA, took it to my bank and now my monthly water bill is automatically paid from my bank account, no trips to Big C, Tesco, 7-11, etc.

  10. I had a similar problem in my home with a leaky roof right down the center of the kitchen, so when I saw some home construction going on near my house, I told my Thai wife to ask them if they had time to check it out/fix it.  Sure enough a few days latter, two guys showed up with a couple buckets of cement, climbed on top my house and laid cement all along the apex, problem solved.  I forget the price but it was either 500 or a 1000.  It might be worth a try to ask some construction guys near your home.
