Always thankful for your updates Evil, A frequent customer at Villa Market and will give Robins Nest a try. Ot but if anyone is in Bangkok try Moonshine pub for Christmas Dinner. Soi22 , soon to be gone Queens Park. It is free and good food. They only ask you to buy drinks and tip the staff well.. Free normally scares me as i remember the photo of BIG D tearing in to the buffet at FLB. But get there early and tables were open at Thanksgiving.

Thanks nkped, i will give it a try, if it works will save me 30k i may pay my agent friend .I will report back. Im aware of the contact but didnt know they would complete the form.

Aj, not understanding but sounds good , what is kcmo? Why is the forum bullshit. ? i have bcbs , would be very good if someone would complete the form. I do spend to much time on Soi LK drinking the demon Rum so be gentle but it is a serious issue for me,

While indeed 2cd hand info my friend , an agent in Bangkok said the health insurance requirement is coming for everyone. I have good insurance but as js has just said is the company going to complete this ridiculous form?. I posted before that i cancelled my December trip to the PI worried i might void my O-A. Also put on hold buying a condo until i see where this goes. Even though he is a good friend and pretty clued in i dont like using agents. I love Thailand . Maybe ill just marry the girl in Roi Et. Need to research that.

Dont go to Ko Larn anymore preferring to send out of town visitors without me . But remember some good times buying raw seafood, duck at the stand and they would bring a small grill and a large bottles of Singh to our chair at the beach JS, what part of Jomtien? I may give it a try.

Thats a good one kped . I was in a taxi and another time a restaurant Spoke Thai and got the blank look. The Thai girl took over and i listened . Hey , i said it the same way you did , why i am not understood. Just the look of pity. I will continue to try.

I have always wanted to learn Thai and am quite fluent at reverse bar girl. That is if a girl is new with no english i'm up to the task Once on Soi Cowboy Mama asked me to sit with a new arrival from Issan as she wasnt getting any customers. She spoke not a single word of english and Mama was worried she was heading back home. We had a good night. But i dont understand anything and cannot read. A girl pissed me off years ago telling me just speak english, i dont understand your Thai. So i keep trying. Threre is a school close to me and i may try again but will start with basic reading. Bu

I wont be joining your staff but like the attitude.. Enjoyed the beach restaurants on Wong Amat but may move to Pratumnack /Jomtien. Name of your new place?

Thanks Baz, timely post for me as i am considering moving from Wongamat to Pratumnak or Ban Suan.in Jomtien

Yujin, good reminder. I am not a vegan but a friend is very allergic to chicken. Got a hamburger that was cooked on the same grill as chicken. Had to go to the hospital and nearly missed our vacation trip

nkped, excellent information, ill give it a try Thanks. Reminds me when i first tried to get a bank account, the manager at the then Big C mall waved his arms , "No Farang" A BM here advised me not to try in a tourist area. Go up Klang and they will open an account for you.

Glad to see this thread is still here. We usually hear only the bad. Like Elche i have seen security or housekeeping staff at "Mom"s cart outside my condo and payed a small amount ,not often. A girl who stays overnight sometimes has to leave early for work . The Taxi guys are not always on Wongamat early. She told me Mom knows Papa and always flags a motorcycle guy for her.

Having Thanksgiving dinner with friends in Bangkok. Will publish here the fee schedule of an agent. But agree with Force, i dont expect the Insurance form to be difficult or expensive. I do worry what happens if agents go away?. When Big Joke came back to Imm he was going to target agents , we see how that went . But remember years ago when there was a Visa run Kiosk and Van on every Soi. All gone overnight. I am in compliance with income and health insurance. But good luck proving it. I prefer not to use an Agent but ready to give up. Moderator Jacko, before we get specific is this

i just obtained the O-A in Washington l last month. Thought good for 2 years now the health insurance is required even for reentry. Cancelled my trip to the PI in December . Good that the OP was able to use his BCBS card . I have the same but that is not how the rule reads. With overseas coverage a health insurance form needs to be completed. Will BCBS do this?. I have a friend who is an agent in Bangkok and used to joke i"ll not need your service. I was surprised he was familiar with the Health Insurance requirement as it woudnt normally affect his clients. But he claims it will be a general

Rarely Bf anymore but going to LK for Halloween and will BF the lovely Hanna from Pandoras if i can make it past Tung at Billabong. Maybe ask if can take both. As to girls who dont get anywhere i was with a TF girl last couple of nights. 21 y/o, great body , smile ,attitude. Since this was the second time i was with her she was more about talking. She has not had a customer in a week. "I dont Eat". Yea i dont know if i buy that either but maybe. She is perfect but no customer? Luck of the draw i guess . My friend May is 40 y/o no problem getting customers. But this perfect 21 y/o cant

Thanks , will give that a try. It will end up costing me more than 1300 baht as i cant resist walking down Soi 6

I dealt with the transfer issues over the last year. Used transfer wise and Schwab. My O-A is good for almost 2 years but eventually will have to show the 65000/month. Now SS will Direct Deposit. to a Thai Bank like the Phillipines has long had. So i i have the form which must be signed by a Bank Official. Today at Central Festival , blank stare. "We cannot". Anyone had luck with a BB branch that understands this.

Yes , i find that kindness often . mostly in Issan but many times in Pattaya. I think you need to live here or be a frequent, knowledgeable visitor like Teelack. . Just dont be an asshole. I was an asshole the other day when i just was tired of the Indian suit salesman and told him to fk off. I regret that.

Evil now that was dammed funny. Actually a good history lesson of the deities. Gabor was ok in small dosages. Killkenny it is tonight, thanks. We will be there about 8p, Pandoras after that. Buy you a beer or 4 if your about. Im the American with glasses ,my brother is a scary looking fellow, a biker with long hair and tatoos. Cant miss us. Unlikley pair? Thats us.

Evil, As you know from our PM's ,my brother is in town and not on a budget. I appreciate your sugggestions Really likes nice restaurants but we dont want to stray from LKM /Diana As an aside am an getting no takers for my usual 1k. , I give up. Ill do 2k My brother is doing great at Pandoras., i am not Im no Gabor .Ot we onlly have one meal a day. Thinking Robins Nest.?.

Had a similiar problem as nkped but ignored it . Not good. I did the liter bag of saline thing, at my suggestion. Bangkok Pattaya. , way to slow . I said take this off the pump and just bolus. I dont have cardiac issues. Foolishly continued to ignore it and ended up in Bumrrungrad for 7 days. As an aside but somewhat OT. I am getting a new O-A in the Sates next week but need the medical certificate. For years i have read that the clinics are on every Soi and 500 baht . I havn't found one. Any help in pointing me to the right direction would be appreciated. Knortyboy, just saw you

Was in LKM last night. Everywhere busy. Will wander up to tree town next time. Thanks EP. My brother is visiting for 3 weeks , he likes a game of pool , i like bands so nice to try something different from LK and WS. As an aside im parking him at the Pasadena lodge, quoting 500 baht a night for a 3 week stay. No pool but clean rooms , friendly staff. If he wants a pool il try for the 800 baht rooms at the Areca.

Probably have worn this thread but always appreciate reports even if i dont agree. I use Nams probably more than most board members. If they go south i will be the first to report that. Olded, thanks for the report ,vote with your feet. Dont use Nam's. I will continue to use them.

My brother is coming in from the States and i am booking Nams to take us from the Tavern to Pattaya. A bit of an obscure location but Nam's finds me. I dont see where she has raised prices?. I am paying 1700 for an Suv including tolls. I used other services but the last time the fucking guy was playing video games while driving. All of the services declined in safety and value after being touted here, I have not seen that with Nam's But if they are i would like to know about it. .I use them almost every month on my trip from Bangkok . Olded if they are not hitting it i would like to know. B
