  1. Today I was walking down Sukhumvit and noticed a small truck drive by that offered a pet delivery service for grooming, delivery from pet shops etc. Sorry didn't catch the name and most of the writing was in English. Perhaps phone calls to some of the large Bangkok pet shops might yield a name and phone number.

    Some place out there, there is the service you are looking for.

  2. If you are 54 yo, I've got the perfect place for you.

    GO to the 24th or 25th floor of the Radisson in the evening. In the cocktail lounge there, they have oldies singers belting out all the old hits from the 60 70s and 80s.

    Some of them are pretty good in my estimation.

  3. It was still just sitting on top of the Miami Hotel as of 6PM tonight. I was told by several different sources that there were no injuries. Soi 13 is closed to vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic with warning tape stretched across the soi. People were still walking under the crane and around the tapes. Sky train is operating normally.

  4. "Letter from bank."

    That's normally needed if extending with money in the bank. OP appears to be extending with income.

    I have used "pension" money (more than minimum required) the last two times and have also provided a bank letter certifying the amount. When I renewed last week, they said they didnt require the bank letter if my pension money met the limits. So the answer (in BKK at least) is that the bank letter not required if you qualify on "pension" alone.

  5. in my 5 years in BKK, The biggest range and cheapest pharmacy i found is in Sukhumvit.

    I do not have the full address, but its BTS Asok or Nana. Find soi 10, right across the road from soi 10 about 20 meters to the right. Its a large pharmacy, inside 99% of the time there is a huge Golden Retriever(dog)

    One guy who works there speaks fluent English and they have the largest range of medication and almost half the price of other pharmacy's

    Just an example. Clarinese(used for blocked ears and nose) every pharmacy is 250-280 baht, this pharmacy its 160baht.

    It is called SOUTHEAST PHARMACY near Soi 15. Best prices I have foundin BKK.

  6. There is a class at the Ambassador Hotel within a 5 min walk of Nana BTS station. He came highly recommended from another ex pro Muay Thai fighter. The teacher is also an ex- pro fighter and have had several friends from US take lessons from him. They thought he was great. Don't know costs. Call their fitness center and they should be able to give you more info.

  7. I'm not aware of any indoor courts but the park next to Emporium (Queen Sirikrit park) has an outdoor court that used to attract a good caliber of players.

    There was one guy who played there who was called the "Michael Jordan of Thailand". Not sure if he is still there or not.

  8. ...... Clottey didnt seem too disappointed, massive pay day and lives to fight another day.

    I'll bet it is a long time before Clottey gets another big pay day.

    Who wants to pay big $ or take the time to watch a guy put on a defensive show for 11-12 rounds??

    Not me and I'll bet there are a lot of disappointed people in Texas and at HBO who are saying "never again!!".

  9. Bangkok Post did a long article on tap drinking water purity in Bangkok about 5-6 years ago. Their conclusion was that the water is pure when it leaves the water dept facility but might get contaminated if any cracked/broken pipes near the main where it is routed to homes. Their bottom-line general suggestion was probably OK to drink tap water if the building you were living in was less than 10 years old.

    My current building is older than 10 years and I drink the water sometimes. Never had any problems caused by it that I was aware of.
