Re: Dentist recommendation

I went to the dentists at Bangkok Hospital for years and was extremely happy with this choice. Last year I went to Nana for a chipped tooth, they were recommended as providing quality service and being less expensive than Bangkok Hospital. I was not disappointed but it’s difficult to judge the relat...

Re: How often to empty sewage tank

If the floor seals were not working properly, most likely you would be experiencing very unpleasant odors building up in the bathroom. I installed a couple new fancy Korat toilets last year, had some seal issues but resolved them successfully. The installation instructions called for sealing the ped...

Re: Thai Driving License renewal 2019-22

An example of how farcical the medical certificate is: Finally got around to getting a medical certificate. Popped into a clinic. The receptionist took my passport and filled in a form using info in my passport. Then "sign her" - "100 baht". Never saw a doc or was asked any ques...

Re: Thailand Hosts War Games With Biggest US Attendance in Decade

I just watched the 9th and 10th planes flying low over Wat Khao Yai area, looks to me like they are C-17 aircraft, no visible markings. They come by in pairs, each pair a few minutes behind the previous pair.

Re: Coin counting machine

Last year I took a large bag of change to Bangkok Bank in Bluport, expecting them to pour them into a machine. Instead, the teller called the security guard / greeter over and the two of them then counted them by hand, before depositing them to my account. All 25 and 50 satang coins were returned to...

Re: Suan Son Beach

Yes, the 20bt is for parking and it's hit and miss, sometimes you get charged and other times not. I don’t go there all that often but over about 15 years I’ve been there a dozen or more times and never knew anything about a 20 baht entrance or parking fee. I always just drive slowly as I pass the ...

Re: 'How To' - Requirements for visa extensions etc

Several years ago I stopped getting the formal bank statement from Bangkok Bank (the one that takes 7 days because it has to be printed in Bangkok) and instead started making copies of my Bank book. On these copies, I use a yellow highlighter to highlight the transactions coded FTT ( foreign transfe...

Re: Freezer Repair

My electrician, Buss, works on commercial refrigeration / freezer systems. Not sure if he does home systems but assume he does. He speaks good English and his prices are reasonable. His number is 082-004-8532.

Re: What happen to Bluport ?

I find it a confusing place to walk around. Not well organised. I agree ! And it certainly doesn’t help that for some unfathomable reason they chose to number the floors in a very strange way. The bottom floor (the one above the basement) is labeled G for ground, I guess. The next one up, normally ...
