Cannot stay in my present house near Soi Chaiyapruk 2, Jomtien area of Pattaya and will be moving in a few weeks and not possible to keep my pet dog, Bobby. Male about 9 months old.

Therefore looking for a good home for Bobby.

All vaccinations complete; he is de-flea-ed , healthy and happy.If anyone can give Bobby a good home I would be most appreciative. Bobby was originally adopted from an animal shelter and deserves a decent new owner.

If anyone anywhere in Thailand can assist  or know of someone who can help do please message or email to me. Without wishing to sound mercenary but because I want to make sure Bobby does well, I am happy to make a one off settlement to the new owner to assist in relocation.

Thank u so much!

Many people can have the time of their life in Pattaya or indeed elsewhere if they have enough money to do so. But there seems to be a lot of foreigners living in Thailand especially in Pattaya who have insufficient funds to provide for even a basic existence.

Some others, with or without enough money, have severe health problems including mental which makes having a good time not easy though not impossible and some sick people can thrive here in Thailand.

But foreigners should not use the public health system which is designed for Thais.

A lesson to anyone wanting to live in Thailand long term is have enough money including insurance etc., to cover any current or potential health issues.

The immigration rules for longer termers (like retirement) lays down minimum financial  requirements to get the yearly visa or extension.

Put simply:

Do not stay in Thailand if you are "skint" (without money).

And if someone runs out of money, they should return to their home country and not expect Thailand to support them.

If she is granted asylum in the UK then what measures, if any, might the government here in Thailand take against Brits coming to or living in Thailand?

I wonder how long it will be, if at all, when those who voted for Brexit will come to realize that their vote is the same as turkeys voting for Xmas.....

On reflection it should of been obvious that with his MMA background McGregor would lose his stamina by or before about the middle of the fight.

That is what happened.

Really nothing special in the contest and the outcome hardly in doubt after the first few rounds.

Thank goodness True showed the match live as I would not of been happy to pay to watch it.

Ludicrous money involved but just like some of these over rated and over paid footballers.....right?

Watched the whole Swansea game on True not supporting either side. Very impressed with Man U. Did all the attacking and worthy winners by 4 goals. Later the Swansea manager was interviewed and tried to suggest in effect they were unlucky.

Absolute rubbish. The away side miles better and at this rate worth a bet to win the Premiership.

"They said foreign tourists often stole from shop so they had to closely monitor them."

A prejudicial remark and so the  Thai shoppers never steal......right?! 

According to the news article it is claimed by the mother of the injured man they had insurance but the insurance company will not pay. If true maybe we can have more details of why the insurance company ain't paying...

Perhaps the couple can sell their investment in the bakery franchise to get the monies needed.

If someone is going to ride a motor bike in Thailand get  insurance that will cover any accident and have sufficient private funds to call upon in the event of a problem.

Why should we have any sympathy?

The worst part is seeing how happy he looks just before take off.

 

I don't think his age had the least to do with it (and he looks a pretty fit man). From the video on the Bangkok post website it is abundantly clear that something went wrong in strapping him in. The man who was fitting his harness gets pulled up into the air with him, apparently before he was through. He then sort of climbs up the ropes above the man and it looks like he briefly is hanging on to the man with his bare hands.

 

Looks to me like the take off was premature and he wasn't fully strapped in yet.

 

And from the description of how he died, sounds like he sustained a spinal cord or head injury, likely the former.

 

I agree likely something wrong with the strapping.

I have done this before on the same beach around 1 year plus ago. Maybe the same people but not sure on that. All the "customer" need do is hang on tightly.

I recall hurt my hands a little after finishing as I kept my grip very strong.

It is for the guide atop the customer to maneuver the sail going up and coming down.

I will not be trying it again.... 

So sorry for the deceased and his family....

No wonder lawyers are hated more than man-eating sharks....

I have a puppy Rottweiler mix who is 3/4 months and needs some training including house training and behavior issues.

Can anyone recommend someone who can come to my house over a few days to give guidance for help training my puppy?

soi Chaiyapreuk 2 area.

Thank you.

Did Mr. Glass have an Insurance Policy?

If so then the Insurance company can deal with it.

If no insurance policy, why not?

Can call me stupid or whatever but only in the last hour or so having been trying to access a certain website have I learnt from reading around Thai Visa the whole operation of the site offering football live et al is not lawful.

Last august having seen the website advertised on well known web pages I paid via Visa Card a sum of around 10000 baht to subscribe to the service believing it was perfectly legal and thereafter able to access premiership, championship and other football as well as live boxing etc.

Now I learn the truth.

So are those companies including Visa Card also liable to arrest being aiding and abetting an unlawful operation?

Also:

Can anyone tell me is there any LEGAL website where I can view by subscription on my tablet premiership and championship matches.

Thx!

The last few days unable to open this application as keep getting message saying:

"Could not access the servers"

( I am in Thailand)

Anyone else having the same problem?

Thx.

Most of the Chinese who come to Pattaya are:

Cheap Charlie Chans!

OP: U are doing a good service by posting your experience as it will be a warning to others.

I have not read thru all the replies but I would suggest you get out of the place and sell it asap even if a loss is taken on the sale.

Especially in Thailand many parents let their children brats run wild and spoil them and the parents get offended if any complaint is made; as to the Russians, most of those that come to Pattaya are low level trailer park trash.

Cheap Czar-lies.

So get away as quick as u can for your own piece of mind!

"R123 LAST POST

Whilst writing this post I note R123 has posted, and I comment my first MRI specifically for prostate gave the same written opinion, when that MRI was again looked at by Chula some 16 mths later they came to the conclusion, the person writing the report was mistaken, and my urologist at the time read the reports did not review the detailed MRI and smiled and said no problem, I was happy and did not challenge because it was the answer I wanted"

Impossible for you to say that you were given the same written opinion as me as you have not seen my report.

So the person writing your report made a wrong diagnosis or what?

Then you say your urologist did not review the detailed MRI properly...?

-You are making some extremely serious allegations here including medical negligence et al and remarkably against 2 specialists at the same facility.

Tell us what steps you have taken against these miscreants?

At the end of the day we must rely upon the expertise of consultants though I agree getting a 2nd or even 3rd opinions is always advisable.

And that is what I have done.

In your case you appear unfortunately to be the victim of more than one type of cancer.....

Just noticed this thread which I started is active again.

I have re-read my written report about the "MRI of Prostate Gland".

Without going into any specific detail the finding for me was an enlarged prostate.

The MRI concluded:

"no evidence to suggest malignancy in the prostate gland".
Based on that finding my consultant (Dr Viroj) concluded a biopsy not necessary in my case.

I continue to have PSA tests regularly and whilst my readings are above average my doctor says no cause for concern.

-Of course whether MRI scan or biopsy or whatever no one can guarantee any test is 100% accurate in the same way as no one can guarantee  100% any of us will wake up tomorrow morning.

OP: I have had quite a lot of experiences with dentists in Thailand and not all good. if I were you I  would research a competent specialist and go and get a second opinion.

I remember one occasion I moved temporarily to Bangkok from Pattaya and went to a plush dental clinic. The work done was awful and I needed to come to Pattaya to have the tooth removed and redone. My dentist in Pattaya took photos of the botched work and suggested I could make a formal complaint; though I never did....

I watched the Liverpool/Everton game last evening. Liverpool deservedly won but cannot remember seeing such a dirty team as Everton; especially  physcos Barkley and Williams.

OP writes:

"Some posters suggest a rice cooker.  But why would I want to cook rice?  It is a definite no-no to eat rice on a healthy diet, (certainly white rice is a no-no and I cannot get brown rice in this town)."

But you can cook quinoa in a rice cooker. One of the healthiest meals -if available where u are!

Can you please give the contact details for Uber in Pattaya.

Thank u.

So Love Thailand: are u saying that someone on a retirement extension with reentry permit who leaves and returns to Thailand must notify immigration under tm 30?

Can you name the "well respected doctor" at Bumrugrad?

Dr. Viroj Chodchoy at Bumrungrad   

And to address another poster my recollection was that the MRI cost was @ 40,000 baht; my insurance paid it.
