All those infinity pools & lavish decorations are impressive but at the end its the owners who will have to pay for the presumably expensive maintenance. 

Any ideas what are the yearly fees at the Riviera (the one I refer to with the large red signage)?.

If owners don't pay their fees the place could fall into a complete disrepair rather quickly.

Thanks. I'm referring to the one up from Jomtien junction  towards Rompho market , probably a mile or so up that road.

Indeed, haven't seen too many lights there up at night (besides that huge red RIVIERA signage).

There's a massive project at Jomtien up ahead Thappraya road with huge signage "Riviera". It's glowing bright red at night and can't be missed on Jomtien skyline.

Is that a hotel or a condo? any first hand experiences what's its like (hotel or condo) and how's the management?.

Looks flashy from the outside but not all that glitters is gold.

When an AIS sim is inserted the phone shows "Phone supported True Move H" only.

Unlockable?.

How much would it cost to replace a battery at the Samsung centre?

Be safe. Go to the Samsung Service Center.

 

 

How long does it take them to replace a battery?  do I get the phone back in about an hour or does it need to stay with them for days?

Obviosuly but I want a place which does a proper job and uses original Samsung OEM batteries & not cheap Chinese knock-offs.

Chinese items use often propraietry, poor-designed hardware lots of failutes.

I had a chinese bluetooth dongle which wouldnt connect to anything.

You might want to save the headache and go with a reputable brand like Samsung, Asus, or Acer.

Samsung Galaxy A series phone. The battery has run its course.

Any recommended shops in Jomtien ?.

Thanks.

Thanks.

It has BB debit card. I'll try again with ATM from other banks once there.The link says an ATM at the "Main Terminal". That's a huge 5 or 6 floor building. Any idea where exactly is it?. 

Haven't been there in a few years. Are there BB ATMs on the arrivals floor? somewhere else around at the aiport?.

My BB card presumably only works with BB ATMs.

Thanks

Looking to do a regular checkup + cleaning.

Any good dental clinics around Jomtien?.

Any experience with ordering from Powerbuy? how long does it from ordering there until installation?.

I'm using in view a desktop browser & it keeps asking for CAPTCHA-like verifications. 

Seems like it doesnt recognize the IP address & think it's an unfamilar device logging in.

I know Lazada but I find it cumbersome to use.

Any other local sites with good deals on new/used handsets?

.

Brand new install.

I was thinking of either ordering from BigC online or in-person from the branch of Sukhvmit Road near the Outlet Mall.

Any experience with Haier / LG ?

Given all the aforementioned, any recommendations on shops in Jomtien which would also install the aircon?.

I'm thinking of ordering a 9000BTU aircon from BigC online.

The website (at least its English version) says installation isn't included.

So do they just deliver the box & it's up to customer to find a technician to install it?

or can I pay for installation while ordering?.

Thanks 

Thanks.

Does the 1000B minimum apply for both BigC & Tesco?

What's the fee if the order is below 1000 ?.

Didn't find anything otherwise I wouldn't have asked.

Plus, it's Thailand so what's written and what's actually takes place in practice might (and likely) differ.

Do they set a minimum order? any delivery fees?.

Thanks

Which service do you prefer& why? any other options besides this duo?.
