Are there any real Butcher's in Pattaya?
I want to have a go at making Prosciutto Cotto and need a 3kg leg of pork that looks roughly like this: I can't see anything like it at Makro and it's way to hectic in there to start trying to explain what I need. Are there any places to buy such a thing in Pattaya? I can order in advance, not expecting to find that off the shelf, so to speak... Thanks in advance. -

If he was drunk or high, it is far better that he parks up at the side of the road instead of driving in traffic endangering others. -

Help needed with one question about UK frozen state pension.
Hi, I would love to know the answer to this. The amounts I use are not meant to be exact. Personally I think freezing the UK pension depending upon which country you decide to live is wrong but for this post I don’t want a big discussion about whether you should inform the DWP or not. The UK state pension is now classed as a benefit and so you should inform the DWP where you are living by law. So I am assuming that you totally inform the DWP everything. I am not prepared at the moment to contact the DWP directly. I will use an example. A 75 year old UK male started his UK state 10 years ago in 2014 receiving £100 per week and came to Thailand. His pension was frozen and so he is still receiving £100 per week. If he lived in the UK, the Philippines or other countries that have an agreement so that the UK pension is not frozen he would now be receiving £200 pw. The man goes to the Philippines and immediately informs the DWP that he is there. His pension is increased to £200 pw. 185 days later he returns to Thailand and stays in Thailand for future years. A Youtuber and some other people has said that this mans UK state pension will remain at £200 pw for future years. I disagree, after this man returns to Thailand I think that his UK state pension will revert to the original frozen level of £100 pw. Maybe it will stay at £200 pw until the end of the UK fiscal year and then revert back to the original frozen level of £100 pw but that is irrelevant for this discussion. I am only basing what I think on reading different forums in the past, there has been a lot of discussion, partitions, lobbying in the House of Commons etc. There must be many UK elderly expats who have been living in Thailand and receiving a frozen UK state pension for 10 years or more. If these people could spend 185 days in the Philippines or the UK to permanently change their UK state pension to the current larger amount when they return to live in Thailand they would be very silly not to do so if they can. I have never read of anyone doing this. Also for me and many others the frozen pension would not be much of a problem if after some large pension increases like the last few years you can receive these increases by taking a 185 day holiday to the Philippines! So the question is:- In the future, let’s say 3 years from now is this man’s UK state pension £100 pw or £200 pw -
