body,cobra body

I remember that about 10 years ago when I applied for my visa I had to go to the Cambodia[?] or Laos[?] border for a quick border run.On the "foreign" side of the border there was a small market with a lot of kiosks selling snake and cobra infused vodka bottles. Now I want to make a surprise gift for my relatives, but cannot remember the Thai border town near that market or the country where the market was. Maybe anybody can remember? Thanks a lot.

Filled lips are worse..

I'm going to pay 500 per day[3,5-4,5 hours] so I think he will not be interested.

yes,too far...

WebGuy,I live in Pattaya,Najomtien.Can he come from Nonthabury? If ok,please tell how to send DM [and what is it?]. Thank you.

I read that option is not for Pattaya,for Bangkok only

AndyFez,that option is for Bangkok only. Thanks.

Brian,you live near 7/11 and don't tell your gender.It is a very specific humor...So,I understand who are you and cannot answer what I think.

I don't have relatives here. MANGOCORAT, BOBTHEGIMP, and BBKO don't want to sell the car yet. BOGOZY,Najomtien. Thank you.

Many thanks to everyone who responded. CROSSY,it is a good idea. I will try. SCUBASCUBA3, where on Facebook Marketplace, are there any specific groups? CharlieH,yes,good idea. Thank you.

Any friendly advice is very appreciated. I'm already 77 and have had a disastrous sense for the last two months that I can't drive my auto and can't manage my foot on the car's speed and brake pedals. I am filled with dread and uncertainty, as if I 'have forgotten' how to drive after many years of driving, often in extreme situations such as being inebriated, at night, or at very high speed. Motorbikes aren't comfy for my non-Apollo body; Grab and others aren't practical for frequent use because getting from my Pattaya home to areas I need to travel isn't inexpensive. I want to employ a driver for a few hours, 2-3 times per week, to work on my car, and I want to pay him not on a regular basis but for each time he works. Perhaps someone else has had a similar need to employ a driver for irregular work? Where do you look for them?

Dickp,I could not determine how many years you spent at school..."he never total us what country he is from/embassy..." two or three years? why you never total us? Nevertheless,thank you also.

Thank you everybody for real advices.Yes,under radar option is the worst. Better to 'work' with the embassy,they can give something like certificate that I send documents them for getting a new passport. seems it should be enough for immigration here.

On October.-November...

Thanks for all advices. 1.I dont have the option of express passport or it's substitute. 2.Dont have option of temporary passport/document from embassy. what if wait for my passport 'under radars'?

I would appreciate some kind suggestions in advance.I hold a retirement visa, and after ten years with my spouse in Thailand, I currently reside in a small town.My passport was about to expire in October, and at the same time I had to renew my one-year visa, so in August, I sent the passport by a reputable Southeast Asian forwarding firm to my embassy in Bangkok. The parcel spent six days in Bangkok, according to the forwarder's online monitoring, after which it was "returned to me."I did not receive the parcel. I lost my passport.Since it is nearly impossible to reach the forwarder by phone, I begin by emailing their Thailand office and then their head office abroad.They merely responded to my first emails with professionally generated "0" content that was wordy and ignorant, without offering me any genuine explanation or acknowledgment that the parcel had been missing, then stopped to reply.After presenting my passport copy and the forwarder receipt with the tracking number to the police, I was given a report.I then applied for a brand-new passport at my embassy. However, I have to wait around 2.5–3 months for it to get to me.Thus, I currently have to: a. live in concealment for the last ninety days; b. reside unlawfully till the end of November since I am unable to renew my visa for the upcoming year in October.Same, of course, for my spouse as she is a dependent.I would appreciate any genuine suggestions. What can I do? Thank you.
