Apologies, I just checked my old emails and my will actually cost 10,000 baht. Two copies and in Thai and English. It would need to be in Thai to apply for probate as that of course is the language of the courts.

Hmm, slighty misled by the The number I usually see on Yahoo Finance (not Google..oops) looks somewhat better than the BB-TT rate. Currently 43.977 and 43.825.....(for Sterling).

Yes, undeclared, as with any currency. Declared unlimited, undeclared $US20,000 or equivalent.

Cider isn't so bad (or even cheap) in the UK in the supermarkets. I believe it was 3 bottles for £5 in Morrison's when I was there, and you could pick and mix a bit. Then there was the 'white cider' which the winos liked as it was strong and cheap, also partly responsible for putting my brother in his grave. As you say hard to find cheap here (compared to a draft piss in a GGB), which is a shame as I find it nice and refreshing when the weather is hot.

Sounds interesting, particularly for an Expat who surely has a Thai Bank account. The 5 days delay is a lot and I am surprised Paypal don't charge more.

Jeez I get a lot of spam/emails from those guys, most of which I cannot read.

It's all a bit hit and miss. Sleep Apnea would require a doctor with some experience of the problem and you may find that at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. Cheapest is likely a small clinic, followed by Memorial, then City. I would expect the BHP to be more expensive but also more likely to have a doctor with some experience of the problem. That said all of them are capable of simply sending you off with a few pills of little use.... get a relatively inexperienced one at BHP and he isn't going to admit his deficiencies. I might be tempted to go straight to Doctor Oliver who many speak well of although he will be closed until the 3rd January.

Funny this post was bumped. Tops and this location came to mind after I received an email from them. (I used to order goods off the internet with them and they delivered to the house in a van, usually drinks and heavy stuff. The booze vanished off the website so I stopped using them.) Just wondered whether this large empty building was still that, while it was so packed busy outside.... someone go take a look!

My Mrs cooked me some Thai style food.... I think mine looked more festive! (And rather ironically involved chcken wings)

You would be a somewhat richer man had you more trust Gary... but Pattaya Pete will be telling us all about that soon. My issue is I am a somewhat poorer man for having trust, so you carry on!!!

I tend to lose track of notes or drop them when I have them dotted around, ham fisted. The 10 baht coins just seemed to be right. I usually only need to get up Beach Rd and back down 2nd. Baht buses appear to be a major cause of congestion and perhaps limiting their operation is a good idea, What I fear is them becoming scarce and only available for private hire like many other Thai towns. Pattaya is easy to get around cheaply purely due to them... bloody Phuket you need 300 baht to do 100m! Large coaches also cause traffic problems.

Here is a good review.

I just made a one way Qatar booking and got the A330-300 and B777.... Mileage booking so beggars cannot be choosers, easy departure time ex Manchester.

You make a good point, if the fare increases to 20 baht the first problem I have is now I have to get my wallet out for a note! We need 20 baht coins. As far as a tip is concerned I guess I will have to hand over 2 notes or just give him a round 100 baht! Never seem to have the 50s.

Do you not also have a local bank account? I would suggest seeing a lawyer and taking his advice, and suggest having a Thai will drawn up containing all your assets. Yes it would require probate for assets to be transferred. A judge's signature is required. A free discussion with a lawyer could be had at one of the Expats Clubs. A will can be drawn up for between 2-10,000 baht.

A six month stint working in Saudi used to do it for me!

Last I saw was Artist st and a shop near where 2nd split into Thrappaya and Pratumnak. Long time ago though.

I recall hiring a jet ski from Jomtiem in the early 80's and riding around the promontory between there and Pattaya. Spotting a small beach I landed and had a nice liaison with the lady on the back! We are losing these romantic secluded areas!

Just a warning not to eat the seafood that has been out since then!

Yes we do don't we. But for me it is 5.30am and I am having a giggle at some old fool before I go watch the sun rise.

Nice to get an update on Hooters, I had thought the place had vanished!

Then why do you insist on belaboring your error? Do we need to explain to the moron the difference between 'hot', 'hotter' and 'hottest'? PS It was hot here yesterday too..... your website claims it to be winter!

No it isn't, you even got that wrong. We can all see what you wrote, I would close the thread but I somehow think you will keep digging and make yourself look even more stupid!
