hey you lot, sincere thanks for your help guys and massive apologises for not updating you sooner. well I’ve managed to get my sick certificate, but only after embarrassing myself with how little I understand thaïs, and the way they operate. went to the private clinic, sat in the chair and ask doc direct question, sort of “I need sickie”. at that point his face went red, started with a lecture about how farlangs think they can buy everything, and then he swiftly moved on favourite thai subject of “the king and the country”. I’ve apologised for my misbehaviour and we spent next hour talking about global things, politics, health, religion, global warming etc. he’s a good guy, and I felt my approach was rubbish. then I went to the next clinic and put the old fashion - primary school type - show of being sick! i.e. “must have eaten some dodgy food” etc. this worked and 600 baht later I have had my certificate. I know it’s a bit dear, and could find it cheaper, but I didn’t want to lose too much valuable time on chasing five quid worth of savings. Stuff that, I was off to indulge in...

ahhh koh larn.... while there, you must visit steve's bar (turn left on jetty, walk further 20-30 yards), great great guy, who's been living on the island for over 7 years

hey guys, does anybody knows a doctor in pats who'd issue a sick certificate? desperately in need of one

Hi All, Just wanna pass the message to all, Mr. Toom's service was second to none. The lady driver waited for me on BKK airport, took me to Pattaya in a nice and smooth drive. car was OK. I can recommend the service highly. greetings

thanks again for your help guys, much appreciated!

thanks for help guys. i'll try them both, sooooooon the thing is, i don't really wanna overdo it in the pool, and then have "no power" for evenings, but on the other hand can't go for week without a proper swim (addict)!

being a keen swimmer, the only thing pattay’s missing is a good pool? or i just didn’t find it yet? does anybody know a decent swimming pool in pattaya, please. when i say “decent†i mean for long enough for lap swimming. areca lodge was recommended but failed to satisfy, unlike bar scene... greetings

just to bring this message to the top again, coz the clock is ticking nicely

anyone interested to share taxi from BKK airport to pattaya on 20. May - 16:00 ish greetings
