Government's faillure to create an environment for more Pattaya visitors - males to return post Covid - stupid Covrert regs and inflation is the cause

can a house be built on land to live in

human greed which accelerates global warning and inevitable weather tragedies increased temperatures and a dystopian future - i am pleased that i am old but the youngsters face a future as seen in AI and The Terminator - these fictional films will become reality

heart problems - when he was in exile did he have any heart problems - naivety is an amazing quality -

I recently went to Banglamung Amphur as I wrongly believed that they could assist in depositing my will and confirming what documents would be needed for my Thai partner to access my funds after my demise- The will has a Thai translation done by an officer in Thai Navy and the person at desk just said the office doesn't deal with farang wills only Thai and wasn't interested in a continued discussion

I have heard about joint bank accounts and a ATM card as an alternative but I guess the partner would be acting illegally if withdrawing just after death - withdrawing just before death - in need of advice that will work - I am not currently sick and hope to live for a long time but my girlfriends position with regard to receiving my money which is my intention apears to be not straightforward here in Thailand  - Advice Black Jack please

Tragic but self inflicted - He thinks he is Peter Fonda in Easy Rider but has no incite into driving a powerful motor bike - Tighten regulations about renting and buying a bike over 250cc and maybe fatalities will be reduced - male ego cause of death

Reflects the fact that Thai governments do nothing to help workers being exploited by their employer alongside no consumer rights here at all - very backward style of government

thanks for your help - i will try and contact the dr on 1719

what is a pm function

anyone interested in teaching english here in thailand i have recently retired and have an assortment of stuff to pass on to interested party - very cheap - classroom furniture, books for students, booke for teachers, flashcards, vocabulary cards, files, lots of photocopied materials for lessons plus cassettes of books plus digital stuff

anyone interested i am in sattahip

contact me via email at -

anyone know where i can get a simple aspiration procedure for hydrocele that isn't going to cost a huge amount of cash - thai private hospitals seem determined to match exorbitant us prices for a simple 25 minute out patient procedure

i am near pattaya but pattaya bangkok hospital want 2000 baht for an initial consultation and didn't say in correspondence whether this procedure was available - expensive surgery is but for a non life threatening problem i am not keen on anyone making cuts in my sctotum and giving me a huge bill for my pain john

local hospitals preferred - banglamung,chonburi - sirikit already saw me and said surgery only - a dreadful experience with a doctor hungry for cash but not into patient requests and walked off when i asked for a copy of the estimated cost john

maybe he should consider those who still haven't been vaccinated due to a lack of access to local mobile vaccine centres - if you want the public to comply make it very easy for them to co-operate

- i need to travel which requires at least a 5 hour round trip plus the long wait to receive the jab and this when i have problems walking any distance and can't afford expensive door to door taxi services - result i am not vaccinated

what happened to  the mobile centres - none here in sattahip and farangs are refused here and told to go to pattaya - the government assumes all farang live in tourist centres - well they son't

where is the information about mobile vaccine units - currently i live in sattahip and i need to travel to pattaya - round trip about 3 hrs and then at festival hall wait possible 2 to 3 hours for a jab in a room full of farang that is a potential super spreader - easy to understand why i am not rushing to register - if you want people to get vaccinated make it safe and convenient - at this moment in time it is neither safe or convenient and you will need 2 jabs and a booster - i have a headache just thinking about the process and then it is likely to only be 70% efficient

Sell the vaccine Thailand like the bar girls sell themselves and then you will get takers

it reminds me of when i was a small boy at christmas and expecting santa claus to come down the chimney with a sack of presents

All the while the government prioritises the defence budget as No 1 education will always suffer - losing some private schools will just affect the rich Thais and so they must take a long look at themselves and what system they want running this country - an elitest system for the few or a comprehensive public education system that trains teacher to teach and supplies education to all

Question to ask do the teachers want this

Guarantee to force visitors away to Vietnam or Cambodia - is it greed, stupidity or do they just don't care about the industry

Good for a few influential people's pockets NOT the country - short sighted prejudicial view - so what's new in Thailand

I live in Sattahip a few weeks back I registered with Pattaya Bangkok Hospital they replied and when I sent new e mail with a question got automated reply e mail box full

Tried again a week ago - the e mail was delivered but no reply

What should I do - feeling very vulnerable as I want protection - aged 67 - healthy but have issues with allergies/breathing in high humidity

in few of the sharp increase in covid positive in the community  has the immigration department considered in waiving the 90 day registration temporarily - any new on this - last year they had the sense to waive reporting to avoid large groups visiting offices to get their 90 day stamped

There is no point in condemning the sex trade - the reason why it exists is because the government are not interested in investing in the people in this country particularly women and so they have little or no choice to seek income by selling the only thing they can offer their bodies and of course in many instances are pressurised by lazy male partners and poor families to do this - Training and skill development for the women + business incentives would enable many to seek alternative sources of income

Reality for the first time since I came here back in 1983 - the government can't rely on income from outside to provide income for large numbers from Issan and The North and now they are paying the price for not investing in their own people instead of buying a variety of defence contracts on equipment that has no value other than to enable nice little commissions to end up in bank accounts of the powers that be
