  1. Do you like rat? As that are all pigeons are, flying rats.
  2. I wish you knew more about the history of mid term elections in the US. Google is your friend.
  3. Same as the above, every two months for roaches, ants, and most importantly termites. Seems to work perfect for roaches and termites which is good. But we still do get ants. Welcome to living in the tropics. This is a gated single house muban. 90% of the people living here do the same, but most have not been as lucky with termites as we have been. Its all down to the company you hire.
  4. Best showing in an off year election since before Reagan. Do a little research. No red wave, just a little ripple.
  5. Depends on where it is sent from. My wife uses them. Last time some Iron tablets shipped from Germany just a week. Last time Melatonin from the states 12 days. You should get a tracking number to follow it.
  6. Nigel is spot on. This is the only beach other than Samet we go to in the Pattaya/Rayong area. Yes you have to pay and yes it is on a navy base but its nice, very nice with good cheaper food as well. We had to stop and check in to go. Sai Keow is the name. On the weekends you park your car and take a shuttle to the beach, but its well organized.
  7. Progressive lenses are for correcting both short and long vision at one time. They are basically bifocals built into one lens. I tried them and they did not work for me. I use reading glasses and that is all, my long vision is fine. Progressive for me was fine for reading but made my long vision worse.
  8. You dont need a visa. My advice is dont go on a Thai tour full of Thai's unless you really really want to see some specific attractions. The Thai idea of a tour is not quite the same as a western one, if you know what I mean.
  9. I enjoy my sport living here in Thailand. Mostly NBA, NFL, and MLB. Well in the last few days my sites have gone wonky. I usually use sportsurge. I can get there but then the problems begin. StreamEast which I really use now comes back as not available, CrackStreams, Marky, and Best Solaris come back as unreachable. Anyone else going though this? Bit frustrating right now. Dont really want to buy league passes but may have to. I use AIS as my internet provider. General thoughts and ideas from the board?
  10. We just drive and take the little ferry from the wat. But every single person I have taken there have loved it. The last time something new. At the bar you can now buy a nice blunt, spliff, joint and enjoy with your beer if you like.
  11. Very much a central food. It does not have much appeal to the Gai Yang and Somtum lovers, nor the strong southern curry lovers.
  12. Of course you will as its one of the least spicy Thai dishes in general. But why go to a touristy restaurant and get an even more watered down version. Most central Thai restaurants have it on the menu, and 9 times out of 10 it will be heavily spiced but not hot to the taste.
  13. Welcome to Thailand. My guess is a Thamboon Ban, or a monk being ordained. No laws and no choice but to get used to it.
  14. Yes it is a Thai favorite, and any good Central Thai restaurant will have it on the menu.
  15. Yes you do. Also register your address so you can do it oniine in the future.
  16. Its not much but its higher than that. Its based on how long you have worked. I chose this option and will just say I get a bit more than double that. If you choose this option you lose the medical part, which does not matter to me as I have a great term insurance policy I am almost 15 years into.
  17. I only know this one.....http://www.peacepattaya.com/... been there what must be 40 years.
  18. When you have lived here 33 years, 25 of which are in them same Muban, plus being in 2 exercise clubs its easy. Sorry you are not able to make friends. Keep trying mate.
  19. Yes she can, the airline might not like it but she can. As I have said several times my daughter came in and had an expired passport. She got a new one in less than 5 days. Have to show both to leave.
  20. Never knew you read scientific Thai, the only words in English on a can here are Water, Mayo and Oil.
  21. Look for a higher quality than that. Just a few washes and they will be wearing out as they are just so thin to begin with. It will be worth your while. Just another 100 baht and you can get a t shirt that will last for a good while.
  22. They are not salted, They come in mayo, spring water, or oil. The vacuum of the can keeps them fresh.
  23. Banana bread cup cakes, 10 baht each or 2 for 18B.
  24. Being that you can buy license plates at just about any major market in Thailand should make enforcement fun. Here is Klong Thom market here in Bangkok
