  1. What are you dreaming. Russians are everywhere. More or less depending on location. Wong Amat (Naklua) in Russian hands (traditionally). Two self taken pictures from March 17. Team Russia 1 against Russia 2 And yes I know some Russian vocabulary so not just speculating. I would refrain from flying Ukraine symbols. And on the Jomtien nightmarket I did not see the Russians showing off with symbols/flags.
  2. A popular generic is Apcalis. If you buy cheap packages roadside labeled Cialis they are 100% fake and with no effect at best. For the Viagra type (Sildenafil) best stick to Sidegra. Officially produced and distributed in Thailand (GPO) after patent expired.
  3. Just to make sure: you really look for a podiatrist. A medical professional. Or just a pedicure? (for that I could give a recommendation)
  4. For next year. That's why planning in the afternoon for an evening event can be tricky even in Pattaya ????
  5. Until last week they were strictly against the idea. But under pressure from the government and the huge contribution of ~100 billion Francs from tax payer money plus 9 billion "further guarantees" they gave in and pay the symbolic peanut price of about 3 billion Francs. UBS itself was rescued with huge amount of tax payer money during the financial crisis of 2008. UBS was one of the worst gamblers at the time. They ruined the reputation of Swiss bancs as a save harbor. That they burned a significant amount of my money with their asset management is just a side-note. Thousands will loose their job. A 175 year old traditional name wiped out (Schweizerische Kreditanstalt, SKA later "globalized" with French "Credit Suisse", CS). For your bemusement, study the list of CS scandals. Some have yellow-press character. Like this one: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/feb/07/credit-suisse-chief-tidjane-thiam-ousted-after-spying-scandal A CEO (Thiam) almost getting into a brawl with his wealth management head for neighborhood dispute. Then followed by spying on him.
  6. If the tablet runs an Android or iOs the respecting apps will work. For Thai banks: But as already mentioned, to do transactions you need a separate device that receives SMS to your registered phone number.
  7. Steep decline for EUR and USD too. No idea why the Baht skyrockets.
  8. Guess you have "CMB" entries? Combined no book transactions. Happens if no update done for long time. Don't know how long.
  9. Overnight? I only parked through the day for a couple of hours at one of the private car park areas. As far as I remember they asked me whether I want to park for one day or more. Fee for one day was a 100 Baht (July 22). There was also parking on the frontage road possible. Can't remember that there was a parking forbidden sign.
  10. More than 20 over the limit in residential area in Switzerland could cost you a criminal record. Crossing a solid line can cost hundreds of Swiss Francs. Vehicles of non resident foreigners can be confiscated until case cleared. And so on...
  11. Crazy indiscriminate subsidies for Diesel engines. Tell that in your country. When will they stop promoting Diesel pickups by lower sales tax and fuel tax? How many of these pickups are used for practical purposes? Not just carting people around. At the same time drivers of cleaner cars pay the price by filling the oil fund.
  12. Stealing this bloody dangerous "scrap metal" instead of the usual cutting of power lines, steel pipes, rail tracks etc.
  13. Very true. Some two weeks ago a terrible accident cost three lives at an intersection in our district town at 3 AM or so. A driver obviously had fallen asleep and rammed into waiting cars and a bus at warp speed (a CCTV was published). Never made it to English language news. Currently the worst on the police yard:
  14. Thinking? Currently I try my best not to be overrun by some hool in the streets of Pattaya. Racing full throttle without lights through a populated street in the night e.g. Swerving and speeding through a meter wide gap between stuck cars. Without a working law enforcement and drastic punishment nothing will change.
  15. But quite true in this case. Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia are virtually big fireplaces. CM approx. at the center of this map:
  16. Surprise. Found a near match at HomePro on Sukhumvit. They have 5 A, 10 A and 15 A (longer cylinder). 5 A is not 4 A but I think the device would survive.
  17. Sounds like the term "fine wire fuse" is misunderstood? Does "glass wire" hit the nail? Nothing to do with household circuit breakers.
  18. I use my smartphone as magnifying glass ???? 4 A is what I need.
  19. Thx, will try after the weekend when the complete traffic collapse is over ????
  20. The first of two fuses of a UPS has triggered (4A, the ones in the glass tube with fine wire). Supplied replacement works. But would still be better to have a spare. Anybody knows where to get in Pattaya?
  21. Have two accounts at Bankok Bank and SCB. First is with ATM card and online access. Second one is fixed deposit with higher balance and accepted by immigration for 800/400k. At any time you can fill up fixed deposit from the normal savings account
  22. Khon Kaen. Entered on Saturday 4th. Approved Sunday 5th about noon. So even on (long) weekends someone takes care. Female police captain from KK office.
  23. Exactly that. Foreigner picked up on the road will be rushed to Bangkok Pattaya hospital. Brings the best commission.
