  1. I bought my bike new, but if I wanted to get a used bike, I would try Collinbourne, since as I said before, its rather easy to buy, without running all around Bkk or further to try and save a few baht, and end up paying more. Also, if its not registered in Chonburi, it will cost you a bit more, and I just dont like running around doing paper work, = Lazy!

    i agree on paperwork

    i just give it the agent on sukhumvit

    let them work it out

    Hi blackman. It would be helpful if you could be more specific. Sukhumvit, as you will know, is a very long road and "the agent" ????? Maybe you meant "Let US work it out."

    ok , its been discussed here many times before

    some members have even posted pictures of the premises

    however, its on the pattaya forum so its gonna be on the sukhumvit road section of Pattaya

    its actually between pattaya klang and pattaya nua

    its on the left side headed to bangkok

    its sited almost opposite where the up ramp to the new motorway out of town leaves sukhumvit road

    its got a sign outside with a big gear cog on it

    it has a double shop front entrance with a visible ramp and pit

    they will tax, examine, test, register and deal with most issues regarding the legality of cars and motorbikes in this province or any other

    have i been helpful?

    yep it the best by far and i have tried a few,

    also the op might want to look at this website. bike auction wednesday

  2. don't want to get into the domestic of what is right or wrong,

    I look for what is right for me.

    why because i need to take care of me.

    I am first in this world.

    and that is exactly what she is doing.

    she is trying to take care of herself.

    so do the same.

    have a nice flight.

  3. Hi have been going to Makro Jomtien since it open a couple of years ago now,

    can't help but notice how they dont bother to stock fruit from overseas,

    ie Peaches,Plums Nectarines when in season, from the USA or Australia 2 times per year,

    on very odd ocassion you might see some but not on any regular basis like the other stores.

    very dissapointing, even the likes of Foodland, Villa, and Friendship can provide these lines twice per year.

  4. hi, yes you can get it in villa, its 300gr brown paper looking bags imported from Oz, for memory its 110b.

    I ask the manager to get some from oz and they did,

    also i have a liking for the chocolate bullet from oz, which they also stock, but run out from time to time.

    The manager only remembers to order it in when he sees me in the store,

    I really don"t know or understand why they don't have an automated system, but then this is tit.

    the problems of course start all over again when they change managers.

  5. Surprised that so many esteemed posters dont know that there is an Aeon ATM in Jomtien.

    Instead of turning left onto Jomtien Beach Road, turn right onto Dongtan Beach and its about 20 yards in.

    are you sure i went today and couldn't find it,

    did see a TMB and a GOVT atm but no Aeon.

  6. yes, I am of the same opinion.

    had my car totally strip and sprayed a different color, they did and excellent job,

    the girls in to office have ok English and are helpful.

    over all very happy with there service and price.

  7. Hello Nam Thip,

    I have attached this google map from Phetchabun hospital to my immediate location of the home near Huai Khot hospital.

    on the left of the map it will show you the route by road and the total distance from one point to the other.

    the total distance by road indicates it is in fact 276 km from Phetchabun.

    if you have google earth you may want to check there is another route also.

    if you are interested further it would be more beneficial if you pm me,

    regards

  8. Hello, thought i would have a go at placing a message to see what responds is out there for someone that is looking for a long term house to rent.

    the property is only 2 yrs old, and is very roomy has 3 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an outside undercover Thai kitchen.

    only looking for a modest rent, but more important for me is to have a honest and clean living tenants that can look after it.

    located in the boonies as people like to say here,

    it is about 50k from of Uthai Thani, or 20k from Nong Chang, heading towards Ban Rai.

    the town ship is called Huai Knot, not much happens out there very quite, just farming area really.

    there is a few shops a bout 2 km in either direction, with a food night market 3 or 4 times a week.

    there are houses (Thai style) all around the area, and people in the area are very pleasant and look out for each other.

    if anyone is interested further just message me here.

    thanks

    Chris

  9. I had a dog for 16 years i named it Fatty, god knows why.

    any how in my younger day when i was single and on the slops,

    and managed to get lucky for the night,

    so when i'd come home with my new companion/s,

    the companion /s would ask " So and whats you dogs name then",( especailly if the lady was a little over the weight)

    i use to say its name was Patty, this was obvious as to no blow my chances for the night. Pun intended.

    ha ha

  10. i have bought shirt steak in Macro's they have it in the frozen meat section it is about 165 baht per kilo,

    in bulk packets of about 1-1/2 kilo packets.

  11. It would appear that Bloomberg drops of the radar about 6-7 pm and it is cover with travel program.

    which seems quite good, but i still want bloomberg 24/7 for investment reasons.

    about 2 weeks ago they drop Zone reality, but as i see it if no one complains then it stays,

    that way if you call them and scream and if there is enough of you they do cave in , so has any one got Sophon phone number?

    start ringing guys.

    and to the other guys indicating that we are losing channels,

    you are correct more Russia and Germany channel. supply the demand as i see it.

    complain and get action. sit in silence and nothing will change.

  12. yep been there 3 time this week, you dont need a card, just your wallet,

    great shopping there,

    good saving can be had,

    you need to bring your own shopping bags as non are supplied,

    you can buy a shopping bag of makro for 11 baht.

    it was a welcome change for me,

    as there was some real saving to be made for me.

    good luck.

  13. there's a third option, rather than going to overpriced clinics or being a burden on public hospitals... go to a private hospital that doesn't cater to farangs! Their prices are better since they are aiming at thai people who could easily go elsewhere. I go to Piyathai hospital in Si Racha for all my medicals, had a surgery there, dental, the works. And the prices were super low with extremely good service. Yanhee in bangkok has a very good and cheap dental clinic too.

    I am with you bigtime, i get great service at Phaithai hospital,

    currently i am getting implants done,

    also some correction dental treatment that other clinics in pattya have stuffed up.

    the dental doctor is second to none in my opinion,and cannot help me enough.

    if anyone should want to speak to a farang there, there is a guy called Gavin (from Scotland) he works there as a PR i am sure he will help you with any enquirys.

    Gavin no is 08-97500-293.

  14. what a great idea

    rent a condo for 1 month then that will entitle me to leave my car for 12 month in that block right???

    when i head back to my home land.

    now if every one done that what would happen.

    the places would be fiully of canopy type car's taking up all the space instead of accomadating regulars that live in these condo's.

    get rid of free loaders.

    if you buy no problems, car can stay in your allocated space.

    but if you rent your car goes when you go.

  15. Can some one tell me where in pattaya i might buy some beef powdered stock from.

    i am currently using the Continental brand but am about to run out and can find it any where.i am sure there are other brand i could use also like Maggi or Cambpell's.

    thanks in advance.

  16. ....I just got fed up with the headaches and rented a new Yamaha Nouvo scooter for 3000 baht per month and my headaches went away.

    wow that's amazing! i went for the same bike and for the same reason :)

    well you could have done better if you contacted me

    i can let you have a suzuki step 125cc for 2500 baht per month

    just leave a message.
