  1. I had good success at Bumrungrad with Dr. Yot Navalitloha..
  2. Ford Raptor or Everest my choice; unless you want to spend a bit more and go for the Porsche or Benz.
  3. Chuwit is the governor that Bangkok needs. With his binoculars and sledge hammer he got style.
  4. Especially good for white color cars as they tend to yellow here.
  5. Clean, good for short laps. Have to wear bathing suit not shorts and a cap. In the gym you have to wear long pants. But they have now started duel pricing for one year membership; 300bht for farangs, 40bht for Thais. I have been a member for years at 40bht. and refused to pay the increase so they gave in. I never use it as I am a member of RBSC and The Polo Club and only wanted to support the membership. I also refuse to enter any temples or parks where they have dual pricing. The real annoyance is that BTS will not give farangs the senior discount of 50 percent. In fact this rule changed after they had sold me my card. When they stopped me they confiscated my card and fined me from the amount on the card. My friend who is more fluent in Thai carries a copy of the Thai constitution in English and Thai that states that it is against the constitution to racially discriminate against even farangs. He has has had several confrontations where he had to read out the constitution in the BTS station at which point they dropped this insulting demand rather that call more public attention. I have lived here for 50 years and paid more tax than most Thais. All the Thais that I know or have been in business with always found some way to avoid paying. Long wait for Thai citizenship. Several friends who have gotten it even though being here less time, did so through some political connection: my friend is a general.
  6. Lam, saw you play many times in the 80s when I was windsurfing and hangin out in Pattaya. Wishing for your speedy recovery. Best of luck.
  7. My favorite is Japanese macrobiotic brown rice. Found some in Gourmet Supermarket last week. Problem it is many times more expensive than any other rice including the Thai grown Japanese rice.
  8. What about permanent residents, who are supposed to have the same rights as Thais except right to vote or own land?
