Pattaya is not in Bangkok, it isn't in the same province either. You not only got the year wrong, now you are waffling on about another place.

Hottest month is likely March or April not July!

I had my neighbour over gossiping and she was convinced something she read suggested this new visa was a replacement for extensions obtained in Thailand. I said I did not agree, and many people are getting the terminology wrong and creating such a false impression. Your link goes along with what I believe. There being a desire to rid Thailand of retired people, who do not really have the funds,or supplement their limited incomes here is another rumour often repeated, never validated..

I agree, I was in that area some time ago at 'Nutrition Club' and had a ride around and felt I was someplace else.

Well they most certainly are still issuing retirement and marriage extensions within Thailand.

That is actually pretty good, using the check up results to get a better insurance package and possibly remove exclusions. High BP often brings forth a whole host of exclusions which in reality, if under control and medicated, is surely less risk than not.

Yes they normally have a King's Birthday special, sadly I chucked the flyer away. One option is a pretty comprehensive all day thing.

Boy I am getting old.... That Aston must be the most beautiful thing on Earth!

Yes, they stuck something in the card slot so you had problems, got you to try a few things whereby you used your pin and managed to skim the card at the same time.

Yes, and then his pal distracts you and you walk out with a few less tens of thousands of Rupiah!

I have ridden down Suk Northbound recently trying to get onto the motorway and then the Railway line bypass on the bike. Real dodgy, barriers in the way, and the road is being resurfaced and has been scraped which take the wheels off wherever and a bit of a ramp to negotiate to get on the flyover. These last few months are the most difficult for traffic.

Soda water, 140 baht I think for a case if I return the empties, 24x400ml bottles, 6 baht each! Beer hits the thirst spot for me, but the first couple just take the dust off. Sometimes, just sometimes, I will have a G&T, gotta be Tanqueray. But the way I make them I might be falling in the pool before dinner.

Just restocked my fridge, well actually 2 fridges, and was thinking how it is all a bit more expensive than it used to be. I was pondering the mark-up made by beer bars and GGBs for the pleasure of a nice environment and entertainment.. A case of Small Heinekins (24x325ml bottles) is 945 baht. A case of SML (24x 330ml bottles), 950 baht. Bought from a Naklua distributor.... So SML, despite being mostly water, some would say something else, is 5 baht more, but you get 120 ml more, nearly a half bottle! Heinekin decides it's drinkers don't hold the stuff well so give you less. Both are 5% Alcohol. Each is pretty much 39 baht ....call it 40. Big bottles are cheaper by volume, 810 baht for 12x630ml, 68 baht each. For those who say 'I never drink at home', I can only say that a cold one, chilled to a perfect temperature, that you have waited a hot afternoon for, tastes real good as the sun dips and you watch her go down, the sun that is. Jeez, I need to get a life..
