He won't admit it, but one possibility is attempted suicide by the driver(?)

OP: Often the "softly, softly" approach works in Thailand but as I understand the problem your neighbour is using domestic premises for a business purpose and as a result of that illegal activity is causing health damage etc to your wife.

No point in pussy footing around with apologetically having a quiet word with the neighbour. Time for "hard ball'.

In the past I have had problems with Thais when i know they are in the wrong, and problems have been solved by me taking strong action.

Either yourself or your Landlord or even better the appropriate enviromental department should formally tell her to immediately stop her unlawful home laundry service or whatever. If she does not then take her to Court.

Agree the previous version much better. Thai Visa send me a SMS heralding this new App, yet seems can only get into it my logging on. I can't be the only one who simply wants to surf around the forum without logging in, Also the earlier version mush easier to find any topic.

Seems to me the new version was designed by an idiot with no idea at all about how customers often use the forum and illustrates too a total disconnect between on the one hand serving members needs and on the other hand the idiocy of people designing this "new" App.

If it ain't broken don't fix it.

A few days ago I came across this AIS/CTH Application which I have downloaded onto my Samsung Tab:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pjml.AIS_BPL_mobile&hl=en

Shows all the Premiership games live, same feed as CTH. My research tells me that whilst there were some teething problems when the App first came out, they are sorted now, I watched the Man U/Palace game last night. The screen froze half a dozen times during the match but mainly only for a few seconds. Have choice of English and Thai commentary.

I am quite pleased with the Application.

Can view the matches via 3G or Wi Fi. I spoke to AIS who tell me the charge is a bit over 200 baht monthly billed in arrears.

Well I hope someone can confirm ASAP about the closure as I must be one of hundreds who are due at immigration this coming week.

I like Villa but its my experience with a weekly supply of groceries the total cost is at least 25 %+ more expensive compared to the likes of TOPS or Friendship. Just my own experience, others may find differently.

I am looking to purchase some home gym equipment and be glad to have any recommendations of a good place to buy in Pattaya. Many thanks in advance!

If someone really knew how to make money investing in Thai capital markets, would they not just do it and earn a fortune rather than give lessons about it to others for peanuts?

Just wondering.

Not surprised J-T. It was on your account a pure accident, so no reason you should pay. Sorry this seems a bit of a non story.

Hope you are better, and that event was more interesting.

Woops ! missed that completely....so message to Moderator:

Please delete this thread as the same story is already running here. Thank you!

See:

"A sleazy tourist town on the Gulf of Thailand, it has become infamous as a sordid magnet for trafficked children and paedophiles."

Surely the BBC with its' history of attracting paedophiles to its' employment should be the last one to criticize others???

(Moderators: I know the article in this thread is running under general topics but there its about the missing children aspect, here I refer to it from a different perspective exclusive to Pattaya).

Good thread this, thanks OP.

The humble ones are under the radar and if they have any sense that is where they will stay.

"Would be interesting to hear what other people are going to do."

-Well I just telephoned to the head office of CTH in Bangkok. Apparently they will have matters finalized re EPL by the end of June. The very interesting thing they mentioned was that I was told they are using 2 cable operators in Pattaya to provide their services(CTH channels). One of the companies they with be using is Sophon Broadband.

From what I was told if you are an existing Sophon Broadband customer you can get a free set up(and other advantages) for getting the EPL broadcasts via CTH.

Seems even if someone is not an existing sophon customer, the current rates sound reasonable and at the end of June they will be in a position to indicate the precise rates/charges.

Several weeks ago I had an appointment with a specialist at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital (gastro problem). My specialist told me about a recent similar case as reported here not only involving Chinese tourists but also as a result of eating dodgy food at Ko Larn Island.

So exactly the same thing has happened again:

so what conclusions do you draw from that???????

Enjoyed the music and the film ain't bad.

Usual BS that I've seen a hundred times before, written by know nothing so called journalists to pay for a holiday to LOS.

Sorry folks: it was only this morning that I discovered the wiring had come loose from the computer connection near the phone. I suspect the new maid had inadvertently caused the problem when I was out and she was cleaning the floor.

anyone else with same?

I am planning a one day visit to Ko Samet. I have been there before and usually gotten off the boat and went to the nearest public beach which is walking distance from the arrival area.

However can anyone recommend which other beaches are the best ones to visit for a day. I am going with a few other people who want a beach with good protection from the sun. Therefore:

1, Can anyone recommend which is the best public beach on Ko Samet? and:

2. After arrival , how to get to the beach. ? What transport to take and how much to pay?

Thank you in advance,

I was watching American Idol on Star World this evening, when it was announced at the bottom of the screen that as from 1st April Star World is being replaced by some food etc channel.

Does anyone have any more info?

Is this yet another miserly cost cutting by TRUE once again?

Thank you Sheryl I am referring to the home kit. If I want or need such a test in Thailand i suppose best to go to one of the hospitals for it. Apparently in the UK on the NHS and for free everyone over 60 is invited to do the home kit test.

An acquaintance of mine in England who is now over 60 is being sent by the NHS a home screening test kit for bowel cancer. Does anyone know if such kits can be obtained in Thailand?

Does anyone know where I can purchase liquorice in Pattaya? I need it for medicinal purposes.

Thanks for any help.

I disgree: the picture suggest they are under age, but even if I am wrong on that, no reason to doubt what the police say about the ages of most of them as they could for example check ID cards. So its irrelevant to argue over the pictures.

The area of Sunee Plaza is notorious now and what was meant to be an area for the gay community has been hijacked by pedos. The vast majority of gays want nothing to do with the perverts who go after children and that filth just give being "gay" a bad name.
