  1. Ive done this before. Bought an ounce investment bar in Dubai and sold it in a gold shop in Pattaya. Made very little from it and not really worth doing, unless you bought it when gold prices were low and you sell when higher. Also, they will melt a small part of it to test the purity so your nicely sealed package will be opened and your bar wont look the same.
  2. Our Doberman understands English and Thai commands, and was trained like this from a puppy. Dobermans are very smart so I guess if you have basic plain dog it may not understand if you tell it "sit" or "nang" "come" or "maa"
  3. Yeah just like 1 bottle of water between 5 of them in a bar. ????
  4. No problem for the Arabs. They just tell the rental company the police have took them and the rental company will sort it out. Happened to me and a mate some years back when we were driving rented quad bikes around Pattaya. Just sat in a bar and waited for the rental company to deal with the police then we were on our merry way again on our quads.
  5. Total garbage. If i book a hotel room for me and my Thai wife on Agoda its one price. If i book it its the same price if my wife books it. Get a grip for crying out loud. ????
  6. They'll cut it off and tuck it in for you at Bangkok hospital Pattaya. ????
  7. Been eating a pepper steak in Beefeater for the last 15 years and nowhere in Pattaya compares to the price v's quality. Im known in there by my first name and don't even need to look at the menu as they know me that well. Pepper steak - medium well Extra pepper sauce Mashed potato Chopped fresh garlic 1 litre carafe of house red wine. (Which is actually Mont Clair from the supermarkets)
  8. For anyone thinking about going to the UK for a passport Ive noticed that there is slots available at around 21:00 UK time. Ive been trying all day for a week now and found that if I check at 21:00 UK time it allows you to book an appointment. Just tried again at 23:30 and its saying no appointments available.
  9. You can get the kids a Thai passport in one day. We got our sons in Pattaya. Your wife may also need their birth certificates for immigration. My wife was asked for this the first time we flew out of Thailand to visit the UK. My wife was also asked by immigration if she was leaving voluntarily and not being forced by me. Strange question but apparently it happens.
  10. Never click on any of these links. Once clicked on scammers can access your phones camera and see you. They can also read your screen and see what you are looking at. They can see you type in passwords etc. I know this first hand as in the past I received an email asking for money to be paid by Bitcoin. They knew my password for some accounts too. They weren't shy about how they got my password and explained which site Id clicked on and how they accessed my phone and read when I entered a password. Luckily that password was for non financial sites.
  11. Ive noticed that since I added my number for past Thailand Pass applications Im getting a lot more of these scam messages. I never give out my number and only friends have it. So the TP is not secure as somewhere along the line numbers are getting available.
  12. Eye lab in Central Festival speak English and have a good range of quality frames. They do varifocal as I got mine from there.
  13. Been there done that a few years ago and it was no problem for me.
  14. You need to close the windows and get a humidifier pal.
  15. Yeah trying to cool down Thailand. ????
  16. Let me get this right. You have an AC on with windows open? How is that supposed to work? AC is air conditioning. How does it condition the air when theres fresh air coming through the open windows? Your electric bill must be sky high trying to cool down Thailand. ???? Windows closed, AC on and use a ceiling fan to assist moving the conditioned air around the room. Anyone that uses AC without a fan is an idiot.
  17. Easy. Just use ThaiTrack app. 120 baht with EMS
  18. My Kasikorn Visa debit card does not have my name on it but it works like a debit card. It says "Privileged Member" where a name usually is on a Western debit card.
