    I just went last week to register my address at Jomtien and they said that I must do it every time I leave the country and return.

    Oh my Buddha, last time I came back to LOS, the lady at Immigration said not to bother reporting if I return to my same address here in Pattaya.....asked her twice and sent her to her supervisor....same answer....and she was telling everyone in line the same thing....lol....??

    With fasting you lose about 1kg in 3 days. I did it several times for about 3 weeks in cool climate a long time ago. Only water, nothing else.

    At the beginning the weight goes down even more because the stomach is empty but in the moment you start to eat again the stomach is full again and that is obviously extra weight.

    If you/she does it right she won't be hungry after about 3 days.

    But make sure you know a good enough doctor who you trust and can call anytime.

     

    And certainly do not take the advice of any TV doctor.....geez....??

    If you want to live on the Baht bus routes because you can’t ride a motorbike you’ll find that accommodation is (much) more expensive than if you move away from them. Many older people are scared of riding motorbikes, but the smarter ones do something about it. You can get numerous modified motorbikes with three wheels in Pattaya if you’re worried about balance. Some have a very wide pair of wheels at the front or back, like one of those down-market Harley hogs you see, if you really feel unstable. Others have a narrower separation if you’re just feeling a little bit nervous. If you’re really pushed for money then you can buy a Thai-style samlor, like the street vendors use. Get a second-hand scooter like a Honda Click, maybe 20K or 30K Baht, and for around 10K-15K Baht you can have a sidecar made to your own specifications and attached to it. Quite a few disabled people in Pattaya get around in one of these, the sidecar is made to fit their wheelchair and they have a ramp at the back that lowers down for easy access. The other great advantage of the samlor is that you can have a nice, big sunshade fitted for around 2K Baht, no point in getting toasted in the sun if you don’t have to. Heck, you can even have a music system and cooling fan installed if you want, your imagination’s the limit. If those options don’t suit you then there are numerous small battery and petrol operated three wheel vehicles on sale, like mobility scooters for example, that will enable you to live in the cheaper areas and still get around where you want. Rent is probably the biggest single expenditure for most people here, so minimizing it while still having a nice place is important. Getting yourself fully mobile is one way to cut your costs in the long run.

     

    Anyone that suggest you get a motorbike is off their rocker.....quick way to an unhappy ending at best.....lol....?????
