I drink coffee most days and prefer it to be hot ,not warm or lukewarm, if it's not too my liking then I send it back and tell them it's not hot enough. Of course it does help if you can speak some Thai to emphasize your point. In my experience many coffee places here serve warm tepid coffee, I've made myself a regular at a couple of places where the coffee is nearly always served piping hot so I tend to only use those places.

Public or government hospitals sometimes have higher charges for foreigners. Some years ago I was bitten by a dog so off I went to Pattaya City hospital for a rabies rabies jab, I needed a course of 4 and I was charged around 500 Baht per jab at Pattaya City hospital. I was away in Buriram when my third jab was due so I went to the government hospital there where I was charged the princely sum of 20 Baht. Go figure ,that is some differential between two government hospitals.

Thank God I'll be Hip Hopping out of Pattaya over the Songkran period.

Flew with them to Vietnam and return about 3 years ago pre covid, both flights on time and no issues whatsoever, I would use them again.

Correct no way have prices gone up by 50%, I myself use the Nakhonchai air VIP bus often and have done over a number of years, their ticket prices have not really increased by that much. These border run companies are profiteering big time

Pretty much spot on, friend of mine has recently attempted to get himself a tourist visa from the UK, the application is now online and the requirements are frankly ridiculous so he gave up. I used to do these visa runs many moons ago and I never paid more than 2000 Baht all in. Back in those days I had a multiple entry 1 year visa which required that you had to exit the country every 3 months. Unfortunately those type of visa's are no longer available. It's getting a lot harder now to stay here long term unless of course you are eligible for a retirement extension.

Been to them all over the years except for Udon Thani,.... Ubon 6 That Phanom 4 Nakhon Phanom 5 Khon Kaen 7 Nong Kai 5 Phitsanulok 8 Lopburi 5 Khorat 3 Nakhon Sawan 8 Mukdahan 6 Sukhothai 8 (visited temple ruins only} These are just my personal opinions and I assume that this is for the cities/towns and not the provinces.

Yes Medisafe deliver to Pattaya now twice monthly, I use them myself and have found that they are usually cheaper than all the Pharmacy's here in Pattaya.
