Samet Clinic has has very dedicated doctor but as Dawn mentions, for very serious conditions, Bangkok may be a better option. Of course I also have to suggest Petcharat Hospital which has a very very good reputation.

Hi guys

Anyone know where I could buy one of those things used to stuff sausage. Being South African I have to have my Biltong and Boereworse with beer. I make my own Biltong and am wanting to make my own sausage but need one of those sausage stuffers.

Just did the Ranong visa run last month and after reading reports on here, I decided to try the Anderman club route instead of the usual way. I was doing a 90 day run and went on the last day of my stamp. Paid 400 baht for taxi which took me to the pier and waited for me to return. Paid 850 baht for...

Petcharat Hospital for sure! My wife has had two kids there and both times the service and care was outstanding. San Paulo on the other hand first wanted to discuss money matters. Not to mention the fact that as I am a farang, the birth would cost more than it would for a couple where mom and dad ar...

Burger 3 on the canal road serves good food at very realistic prices although the portions are quite small. Its a great setting and good value but if you're ordering western foods then don't expect much and you may have to order a second helping. The prices make up for it though so one can't complai...

The Takiap hotel allows you to use the pool at no cost but they do hope that you will order food or drinks while there. Also, the Anatisila (spelling?) on Takiap beach has an awesome pool and charge 50 baht which gets you a towel and use of the sun lounges. The food and drinks are also not that expe...

Hi guys Just a short update. Panang will only issue a 90 day visa based on marriage - the result from my previous application. Last month I went to KL to apply for a one year Non imm O. I needed my passport,a copy of my marriage certificate, copies of childrens birth certificates, copy of wife's ID ...

Not sure how accurate this is but my missus tells me that the council actually offer free Sterilisation on a regular basis. While us folk who cannot read Thai have no way of noticing the the time and dates displayed for such clinics, the general Thai population does. One must then ask oneself why so...

Hi Not sure if it helps but the folk next door to us have just had a whole lot of sandwashing done as well as a pool being put in. The workmanship looks good so if you want, I can let you have the boss mans number. Communication is no problem as he speaks fluent English having spent many years in th...

Hi all Well its been a while since I last posted on here so I thought I'd just share my most recent experiences. Having done the Ranong visa run three times, I headed of to Panang to get a marriage visa which I was denied because I never had any bank statements with me or my other halfs ID card. I h...

Hi Dawn

If you're still looking for a helmet for your little please pm me. My wife just bought one for our little one and its a good quality INDEX helmet.

Hope this helps

Hiya

I used it a lot myself, both in South Africa and in the UK. I have not seem it here at all but I have seen "hammered finish" spray paint cans at HomePro at Market Village. Not sure if its the same sort of paint but maybe worth a look.

I second that completely - a lovely post. Those who are in a position and who can secure their stay because of wealth are sometimes to quick to judge others. There are many good people here who are not working and who are no threat to the Thai system but they simply don't have enough money to get th...

Hi Dawn Yes family is doing fine and we have another little one on the way. I must be a late starter (lol) We,ve just taken on two strays that a builder dumped so just as well we're not at our old place or else we could have had the same threats as you and your Mom had. The two are really nothing to...

Takiap. How on this earth did you manage to buy a house in Thailand but, not have the wherewithal to get your visa sorted out first? You guys really amaze me :shock: I have a wife and a child and I don't view them as "Thais" but instead as my wife and child for whom I must provide. Maybe ...
