    Are you looking for a digital or analogue clock? Alarm?

     

    Why the absolute requirement for mains power, the batteries in most last for over a year? (and pure mains clocks stop when the power goes off)

     

    But as said, any of the big box places, our local HomePro has a small stall selling all manner of timepieces.

    Thanks.  Haven't looked at Home Pro

  2. Just get a tablet.  I haven't read a paper book in 3 years.  I download books for free by author or category.  Currently I am reading Bernard Cornwall which are fictional stories about war in the late 1700's.  Downloaded 50 of them in 4 different series. 

  3. I worked here for 7 years as a teacher... I get SS and have for 5 years. I just adjust what I declare as earned over here to not go over the maximum earnings.

    I don't know as it really matters since you aren't charged any tax on the money you earn here.

  4. This is a post I saved when I also was looking for a mechanic. I used Khun Sakda for about 3 years and was always satisfied with his work. He kept a POS VW running in top condition.

    I highly recommend him. Don't know if he can get to you "today" but he is excellent.

    "A few months ago I gave details here about an excellent mechanic here in Pattaya. I have used his services for the past five years and have found his work excellent and he charges foreigners the same as Thais. Since his workplace is some distance out of town he will come to you, leave his vehicle and take yours away. He also speaks reasonable English. Last week a friend of mine wanted to purchase a used car so he called this mechanic to check it out for him. He arrived on time and my friend was most impressed by the service. The mechanic was happy with the 1,000 baht payment. Since we have all been ripped off from time to time I am placing this information as a means of assisting people with finding someone who is honest and reliable. I do not receive any commission from him.
    His name is Khun Sakda and his number is 081715819."

  5. I am not sure about that size, but having worked as a teacher, I have had A4 items bound at the copy shops near Aksorn Technical College on Theprasit.. There is a big "30" sign outside... 30 satang a copy or something. copies... not binding..

  6. There are plenty of opportunities to contribute to the local society in some way, Michael. The first place to check would be at your nearest temple. They always have need of help. You could also check with a couple of organizations that do a lot of charity work: The American VFW, with the local post located on Soi 46, off of Sukhumvit; The Pattaya Sports Club, located on Third Road between Klang and Nua, does a lot of charity work; The Father Ray Foundation http://www.fr-ray.org/; The Jesters' Care For Kids Charity http://www.care4kids.info/ does a lot for Thai children. Finally, there are dozens of orphanages scattered around Pattaya, the largest of which is the Pattaya Orphanage http://www.care4kids.info/ . All of these charities are constantly looking for help of any kind.

    Thank you for the information...

  7. I need some help. I just broke up with my Thai wife and I am really hurting. I need to find something to do to keep my mind off her and my pain. Things are financially tight at the moment so I need something that is Cheap!!! Are there any groups, clubs, organizations that might need some help during the day etc???

    Thanks in advance..

  8. I bought mine at INDEX. I have had it 8 years and it is still the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on. I still get into it and go "Ahhhh". It was a bit pricey, don't remember how much, but WELL worth it.

    It is about 18" thick has springs, foam, anti bug stuff etc...

  9. The internet is your friend!!! I bought a new Nissan Almera by e-mailing the dealers NOT IN PATTAYA. My experience with the Pattaya Dealers was dismal... No service, No Deals, No Help...

    I sent an e-mail to the dealers indicating which model, options and extras I wanted and ended up with two dealers in Bangkok giving me exactly what I wanted.

    I had NO trouble transferring the car to Chonburi when the next sticker was due.
