Their prices are very high compared to what I could get in the U.S...

Their guarantee is a piece of shit. I bought my GF a ring and she wanted to trade it for something else. More double talk and bullshit than you would believe... Bottom line if you buy something you are stuck with it...

I thought it was sub par to the other buffets I have been to. The one by Big C (Suhkumvit) has a lot more variety and do the others I have been to. I don't plan to go back.

I have lived AND WORKED (still working) in Pattaya for 8 years. I am WELL AWARE of the traffic in Pattaya.

My question is about buying a car somewhere OUTSIDE of Pattaya. Does it have to be registered in the city I buy it or the original owner lives? Can it be registered in Pattaya? Anything I should be aware of since I have only purchased a car from a Bkk Dealer.

Thanks...

I am looking for a newer car. I purchased a NEW car before from a dealer in BKK. Unfortunately the ex <deleted> me out of that when I kicked her out.

Anyway, if buying from a private owner, what are some of the things I need to be aware of?

Thanks in advance.

If you are just interested in calling back to the US, I use Majic Jack. It gives me a US number in Thailand and only costs $30 a year. Works as VOIP (calls over high speed internet).

Cockpit on Sukhumvit

Sent from my SM-G900F using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

Is that on the north, central or south end of Sukhimvit?

Thanks to Pattaya's wonderful roads, I hit a pothole and blew out a tire. Second road where they are "fixing" the road by Mikes Mall...

Where is a good place to buy a low profile tire at a good price?

Thanks in Advance

I would say AVOID pharmacies in Jomtien. Generally overpriced sometimes shockingly so, and the small places often don't store meds properly anyway. Suggest Fascino and P and F pharmacy in Pattaya (multiple locations).

I STRONGLY disagree!!! I go to the small Pharmacy next to Kiss restaurant in the Rompho Market. Best prices ANYWHERE... i.e. Anticil 7 baht - 1 0 baht everywhere else I checked. My blood pressure medicine 145 baht - everywhere else 450 baht. Antibiotics (Amoxicillian 850 mg) 80 baht - 350 to 500 baht elsewhere.

I was so shocked by the Antibiotic price that I checked with one of the other pharmacists to make sure that the lady hadn't mischarged me too little. It was correct.

Any name for the Pharmacy?

Sorry, I don't know the name. It is the ONLY pharmacy in the Market area proper. Next to the Kiss/Kool Restaurant on the corner of the complex.

They may be using generics for my blood pressure/ antibiotics (or made in Thailand) but it works the same as the one from the U.S.... Anticil isn't a generic - 7 baht vs 10 baht.

It is because they don't hold the contractors to any standard of due dilligence. They do shit work with no consequences. I live in Jomtien Beach and when they did the new 2nd road there was a section about 500 meters long that didn't get finished for a year because neither contractor was "responsible for it"... Typical 4th world infrastructure. Rhompho Market gets about 3 feet of water during a hard rain as do other places.

Key Visa Duck Square ( Big C Sukhumvit)

Thanks for all the info. I had to go see my insurance agent in this same area, so I just went to key visa. 150 baht. I didn't want to bother with driving around to other places for a cheaper one as I had to go here anyway.

When I first came to Pattaya I got a copy of my passport made into a card that showed the main page and the visa. I just got a new passport and would like to get another card to carry in my wallet and thus don't have to carry my passport.

Thanks in advance.

You aren't making another snuff film are you???<G>

I bought some at Villa Market.

Is there a replacement site for Movieseer? That was really convienent for finding out what and when movies were playing.

Thanks in advance.

Can someone give me an update on the situation at the Avenue Mall regarding Thai Passports? Do you still need to cue up in the early morning hours? Any Documentation needed besides the Thai ID card?

Thanks in Advance

I buy "regular" potatoes in both Tesco and my local market. Taste the same to me as the ones I have in the U.S... Big as your fist..

I'm sorry that I cannot help in locating this condo but I just wanted to say that I hope you have a plan B as things do not seem on the up and up with this landlady. Please use your common sense and your gut feelings about this. Best of luck to you and welcome back to Pattaya.

How can you say "things do not seem on the up and up with this landlady."???? NOWHERE does the OP say anything about who the landlady is etc. I live in Jomtien Beach Condos and MANY people who live there (or don't) have multiple condos which they rent out. In 7 years I have not hear of any dodgy "landladies". Maintenance is great, security is great, and it is an all around nice area to stay in.

There is a complex on Soi Rompho (second road and Soi 5) which has many bars. There are some areas for food there too.

There is a shooting range in the "basement" of the venue that does the lady boy shows on second road by Big C.

I found it at Villa - Olive Grove - and got 4 tubs. It stays well in my freezer, so that will hold me for a couple of months.

I've been called a food nazi before and to hold my reputation up, here we go :

Butter is made from milk. There is no olive, soya or engine oil used in the production process.

Kindly refrain from misnaming margarine (i.e. An oil based product) "butter" just because you can squeeze it between bread and marmite. You can also do this with stauffer fett (another oil based product) but it would still not qualify as "butter".

Thank you Mr. Samanticist. Butter is also a generically accepted term for any butter LIKE substance. The same as KLEENIX is a generically accepted term for any facial tissue.

As of 14:00 today, neither Friendship or Foodland had any in stock.

Thanks... Olive Grove is the one I am looking for.

Tesco and Macro USED to carry a "butter" spread made from olive oil. They stopped carrying it. Anyone seen it in any of the "farang" stores such as Central, Friendship etc?

Thanks in advance...

I just bought one 3 weeks ago. It was the maintenance free 3G brand and it was 3,100 baht.
