I have just learned that the hospital has enough donors for them to do his needed surgery and it is now scheduled for tomorrow.

Thanking everybody for their help.

Not meaning to split hairs but I think he was getting the knife today. Can only wish him the best.

A few other points, I am told that "neg" blood is virtually unheard of in Thailand, anything neg is very rare. The Thai Red Cross will not accept new donors over 60 or any over70. Alist of donors particularly in the rarer groups was created years ago but nevet heard of it being used.

Er, yes it is. It's also in Chonburi, Rayong, Chanthaburi and a bunch of other places on the way to the Cambodian border. 

He specifically referred to Lower Sukhumvit.

Sheryl there is an appeal on the General forum for A Rh Neg blood for a patient at the St Louis hospital Bangkok.

Can the hospital take the blood themselves or is it best to go to the Red Cross blood centre near Rama IV?

Thanks in advance.

Now asking for govt documentation stating that you are retired? That is a new one, could do with a comment from ubonjoe, see if it's new to him.

Took me talking to six people and over two hours in NS just to get them to check my blood type. Would not attempt anything more complicated. Easier just to jump on a bus.

I am planning to go direct to the Hospital, just waiting for their confirmation that this is OK.

Scott I assume you mean A Rh Neg for the blood type.

The photo looks as though he is adding some short time rooms so possibly best to wait till they are ready. Will save you lads having to explain away the grass stains on your knees.

What have the sexual preferences of a sex tourist got to do with this story?

 

On TVF what other opinions are you going to get.??

Have to agree. H/M will be staying at the UPMARKET Nana Hotel Soi 4 when I go to BKK that always has rooms available. Cant for the life of be understand why???

 

If anyone wants to know why it's not far from the passport place. One can walk but H/M will of cause take a Taxi. I don't do walking, crossing the road is more than enough. Bit like you Rott Bone idle.

 

Still pondering on what to do in the evenings Soi Nana is a bit of a dead hole not a trace of life about.

 

H/M K.P.PHET.

Fred to locals.  

Soi 4 not the same for me since Jools closed.

I always thought the Nana was popular because the rooms are bigger than most. So they say anyway.

Don't whatever you do stay at the Pet hotel. Seems they cant even get their snap of the place correct. Your bone idleness might be down to there's nowhere to go in N/S anyway. Or could it be that your K.P.Phet Visa has been revoked. Yes that'll be it. It's who you know here not what you know.

 

H/M K.P.PHET.

Fred to locals.

Thanks for the advice Fred......but......(exasperated sigh)......NS is awash with places to go for a drink, many of them conveniently located for me. But fired up by your lurid descriptions of the action at The Oasis I have for a long time been itching to get up there and get stuck into it. Goulash with noodles will do to line the stomach, but later on one craves something curryish which I presume is not available. Never mind, I adapted to NS so I am sure I can adapt to whatever is on offer.

How much for a large Leo? Heineken? {Not that I am bothered about the price of course, but my mate will ask.) Any local draught available.?

Just now, fredob43 said:

Sounds to H/M that N/Smog  is going to the Dogs. Bars Hotels closing on a regular basis Time to move one asks oneself???

 

H/M will as stated be passing (Passing being the operative word) on the 8th. Will give a full update once returned. Only hope that they have fixed some of the rubbish roads that abound there. Thank Buddha my new Tank has 4x4 like my last one.

 

H/M K.P.PHET.

Fred to locals.

Fred the problem seems to be that there are too many outlets for the number of customers. {Not unusual for Thailand). But for every one that closes another will open, always someone who thinks he/she knows better and is prepared to put the money up.

As for hotels, definitely not going to the dogs, new ones appearing everywhere.

Bells down to 349 in my nearest BigC, I think cheaper than 100 Pipers. Both claim to be from Scotland, does anyone know if either are the real deal.?

I haven't stayed in any hotels here as I only live 65 km away but you may find this link of interest.

Thanks for the tip Bill, unfortunately the trip looks as far off as ever - mainly due to bone idleness on my part.

..........Dateline Nakhon Sawan..........{irregular commentary on things NS}..........The Malibu, a long established nightspot near the Dragon statue has closed it's doors presumably for good. Bit of a shock as it seemed to be part of the fabric of the place. Also gone is a more recent establishment, the Fine Foods emporium on Dawadeong by the Thai Hotel. Definitely permanently but not sure why. Another long-termer "V Steak" is now closed.

On the plus side there is a new place near Analog "room 69", and on the next corner to Analog a new music bar being built. That Soi is becoming quite a nightlife hub.

A couple more new hotels are being built (where the hell do all the extra people come from and why?} and an existing one The Leelawadee closed and up for sale.

Bye for now.

Had a day on Tiger Light yesterday in Pattaya, no problems, pity that bars oop North don't seem able to get large ones from the wholesalers. I know you can get small ones from shops but at home I would rather have a cup of tea, not had a beer in the fridge for years.

Mikes restaurant Oasis will be selling beer, does so 24/7 that's when he's open of cause. Also only sells Farang food not a grain of rice available. Does have noodles but only with Goulash, rest are with veg & spuds of some description.

All the other restaurants will also sell beer, but they wont put it on the bill you have to pay cash upfront.

 

N/B Mikes doesn't open Saturday now, rest of the week open 11am till late 10pm+ 

H/M will be there tonight for a tad of food + the usual pint's.

 

Rott new Robinson or should that be Lobinson will be open in a few months. Cross roads of the 115/112. They have taken over the old Nissan/Honda garage. Their moving across the road. 

I did see that Honda has a new driving center for M/C also the same place. Ideal for Build to have a practice.

 

Reason for lack of posts is that TV seems to only have Rude/Idiots posting now. So most knowledgeable peeps are leaving well alone. Buy the way it's going soon it'll be like Yahoo down the river.

 

H/M K.P.P

Fred to locals.

 

Seems like years since I have used that format. More than likely will be years before I will use it again.

 

 

 

 

 

Good to see you on here Fred I had been wondering if you still came on TVF. Good to see all the regulars come to that. Saturday is an unusual closing day. What is the most convenient hotel to the Oasis?

Regards to all.

The OP asks for recommendations for a breakfast in Pattaya and he gets ideas for Bangkok? Of course, part of that, is due to not being specific in his post. 

Bangkok??  Thete is also a suggestion for New Orleans.

I haven't been to Nakhon Sawan since last year.

 

Now the new Immigration office is open in Khamapeng Phet (if it stays in the same place for more than a couple of months) I don't NEED to go there anymore.

 

There is a great coffee shop in KPP just down the road and across the traffic lights from Makro and down at the bottom near the junction of the Phitsanulok road by the traffic lights there is a new mall being built whose mainstay seems to be Robinsons from the sign outside.

 

KPP is going up market so we can soon look down at the "poor peasants' who are forced to live in Nakhon Sawan.

One day I will br able to afford the bus fare there and go for a meal and a drink at the famous Oasis. Must stay overnight and go see this new mall, not every day you can see a shopping mall in Thailand.!! 

Is the Oasis serving drink tonight?? I went to my local thai place earlier for a few Leo and some foreign muck, but no beer being served. 7Eleven the same. Thought it was tomorrow and Monday. Is there no end to these indignities.

Yeah why mention Nacker Swan horrid place but you do get em that like it.  

Two points

(1) "why mention Nacker Swan", well er possibly brcause this thread is headed "Nakhon Sawan News".

(2) "horrid place"......"horrid", I thought that was only used in Enid Blyton books and the like.

Still, congratulations on the post count anyway.

No posts on Nakhon Sawan News for over 7 weeks.!!! At this rate we'll be getting called into the office to explain ourselves.

Let's see, some eating and drinking places and coffee'n cake gaffs have opened. Others have closed. One is in the process of being fitted out and looks almost ready to open.

Posters on here frequently seem preoccupied with road and traffic problems. Sorry I cannot really comment as my main problem is staying on the back of a motorsy taxi after a few drinks.

Er, there has been a lot of rain lately.

Saving the best till last, NS now has TWO roundabouts. At either end of the road at the back of SriSawan Hospital facing the park.

Phew, double doses of blood pressure tablets all round and I for one will be having an extra strong cocoa tonight.

For 30-40K a month?

Hardly worth it, is it?

Would a Thai brickie earn that much? Or a Thai teacher, nurse, policeman, bank clerk? With 10 years experience of course.

And why would a western brickie want to work for Thai wages, best to work at home for 6 months on proper pay and come here for 6.

I think I just got disappointed by recent posts, properly there are no elite places in Pattaya everybody is into something here.

You are "properly" not elite so why are you bothered.

Does raise an interesting point though, any interesting, respectable and quality places about.??
