    Restaurants In Ban Chang / Rayong

    in Eastern Thailand

    Posted

    I tried Papa Sings last night and I must say its the best Pizza I have ever had in Thailand and i have been in & out of Thailand for 23 years, 3 Military coup etc,

    The base was perfect for me I had the Meat eaters Pizza good taste and plenty of filling on it.

    1 Medium Pizza + 1 Hot dog + 2 Coke and the bill came out at 490B + plus the tip for excellent service, plus the owner gave me a free drink at the end this was a nice touch as it doesn't happen too often in Thailand

    Even the Mrs enjoyed the Pizza saying it was the best she ever had, she is a tough critic as she is a chef.

    I will be going back and that is for sure, I want to try some his pasta dishes, very large menu which he is adding to all the time now doing Breakfast.

    He also has a web site now with the full menu on it.

    I would like to wish the owners and staff good luck for a successful business, there are many Restaurants in Bang Chang but good ones are hard to find.

    Pollution problems

    in Eastern Thailand

    Pollution problems

    in Eastern Thailand

    Posted · Edited by OLDAUSSIE

    I have been living in Bang Chang area for the last 2 years, my health has been on the decline since I first moved here.

    A Dr I know that works in BKK Rayong hospital told me last Saturday night that the air quality in this area is very bad, including all of the Rayong area, Mattaputt and Bang Chang and looks as if its a big cover up.

    I really like living here but I'm going to move for my health reasons. I first came to Bang Chang over 10 years ago and like most places it has changed with

    " progress" for the want of a better word.

    I'm not knocking this area but just putting up a warning to other members about it.wai.gif

    Looking for a new location to move in Thailand. Any suggestions?

    I'm in a similar situation to the op.

    I have been living in Bang Chang for the past 2 years, but I have had a lot of ill health since I came here. Last Saturday night I spoke with a Dr that works at BKK Rayong Hospital. I asked him about the pollution and air quality here and he informed me that " Its very bad" and advised me to move away from this area of Rayong, Mattaputt and Bang Chang............Once again the government is doing a great "COVER UP" about the problem.

    So I am moving >>>> Not yet sure, but the wife comes from Korat, so that is an option because she owns a house there, she can also return to her work as a teacher, but there are always problems in the air. It seems her Ex husband is upset if we move back to Korat.. He is a high profile Thai and will no doubt loose face if the other Thai's see his wife has chosen an old Aussie.

    My loss is the fact that I love the beach and water.wai.gif

    this sums up the problems of Modern Thailand ..ignorance and stupidity

    This one is for Terry the moderator.

    What's up with you?

    You give me a warning for misuse of Shinawatra family names which you said was a post which uses aberrant spellings of politician's names and for insulting the intelligence of other members (Farang) on Thai Visa (Called a poster an idiot).

    But at the same time you and many of the moderators on ThaiVisa continuously ignore posts such as Terry's above stating that all Thai's are ignorant and stupid.

    Everything I said about Thaksin is true and most intelligent people know it and agree but you would not allow me to say that a Farang's comment was idiotic but Farangs on this site can continuously say that Thais are stupid and ignorant as if it was understood and true.

    As you and other moderators continuously accept comments like these about Thai people you have established by default that ThaiVisa accepts the idea that speaking about Thais in this manner is the accepted standard on ThaiVisa which I have noticed for a very long time is the case.

    As a moderator, in my opinion, you must ask yourself if one....you are being fair and equitable to both members on this site and Thais who have allowed your residence here....two....did you stop me for what I said or because you responded emotionally and felt I should be stopped (power trip)....and three....treat Thais who you are a guest of in their nation with a little more respect than that they are all stupid and ignorant.

    I think that this is a fair and honest response to you and this ThaiVisa forum and worth sharing with the members and the public as a whole.

    Let's see if you have the balls and integrity to leave it up for the other posters here to judge.

    Good post

    How Much Does A Catarct Operation Cost?

    in Health and Medicine

    Posted

    I just received a reply from the Rutnin clinic - that was quick - I was expecting to have to wait several days.

    Anyway, FYI

    Thank you very much for being interested in our hospital. Regarding your question about Cataract Surgery, all of our surgeons do Cataract Surgery with the Phaco Emolsification Method. The estimated cost of the operation is aboutTHB 60,000-65,000 per eye (not including the medication). However, the patient needs to come to the hospital for a primary eye check up first (THB 1,500-2,000). If the operation is needed, it can be done on the next day.

    Full deposit of total estimated surgery cost requires to be placed on surgery date.

    After surgery, the patient needs to stay in Bangkok for 1-2 weeks for the post operative follow up. Hospital admission is not needed for this type of surgery.

    For patients who require a short hospital stay after surgery, we provide modern and comfortable rooms, including private or VIP, and with 24 hour nursing care.

    We have 4 kinds of rooms:

    Shared rooms THB 3,050 per day

    Standard rooms THB 4,650 per day

    Deluxe rooms THB 5,050 per day

    VIP rooms THB 7,000 per day

    Please inform us of convenient dates and times in order to make an appointment for you. You may contact us by email at: [email protected] or by telephone at (66)2 639-3300 Extension 1 or 619 (press “1” or “619”).

    Best regards,

    Information Department

    Here is a good example of inflation in Thailand.

    One year ago January 2013, I wrote to Rutnin and asked for the cost of Cataract surgery on one eye, the reply was 41,000B, now they are saying 60 to 65,000B. Also tell you friend to double check his appointment. I made a appointment to see a certain Dr, I did this by email which was confirmed, I phoned the day before to check on my appointment only to be told that they had no record of my appointment....<deleted>,

    Restaurants In Ban Chang / Rayong

    in Eastern Thailand

    Posted

    Romson used to be a favourite, nice beach for the kids to play on while enjoying dinner, but last week we went, and the prices had doubled, and the portions had halved! spent 2400 bt for 4 adults and some kids, and walked away hungry. Bland taste, and same crappy service as usual. I guess they need to support all the villa construction.

    PS so it seems I just joined the debate, (I had skipped ahead to the last page ), I am now reading all the posts about it. I stand by my comments as an occaisional customer and former fan over 15 yrs ; Thumbs Down!

    I agree with you, it seems to be going down hill. I have heard that they are trying to sell it, I am very disappointed in the sea food Restaurants in Bang Chang area.
