Thai woman found murdered in Bangkok hotel, Indian guest prime suspect
TimBKK replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
i agree, that lot are pretty f’ing creepy, pity that TGs who have to endure it. -
If you have decent Wi-Fi, Amazon fire stick and wizztv.co.uk subscription, 3000b for a year. Best for sports, Danny’s Sports bar (for example), uses Wizz. Decent support too, think they are based out of Pattaya too.

90 day report Online.
TimBKK replied to Gee Bangkok's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Same *exact* thing is currently happening with my 90 day - same information entered for 2 years now being rejected. Sigh…the last thing I want to do is have to go down tot the Jomtien immigration office but I suspect its either that or a trip to the agent. -
Correct, left side coming from Buakhaow.

Fair enough, though you mentioned Centara in the OP which is across the street from GA. Best of luck.

Grand Avenue fits the bill and there are a few in your price range on my Pattaya condo.com. Be diligent with your research though, there is some dodgy sh*te going on with the developer from what I overhear in the hallways… Good place to live, though - great location, decent facilities and quiet at night, generally.

Thai baht could depreciate further against US dollar, says K-Research
TimBKK replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I hear you about food/restaurant sticker shock - it’s real and more so returning for a visit from Thailand. But, at the risk of straying a bit off topic, you are wrong about consumer confidence, it is in fact surging: ”The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment for the US soared to 78.8 in January 2024, the highest since July 2021, compared to 69.7 in December and forecasts of 70, preliminary estimates showed. Consumer views were supported by confidence that inflation has turned a corner and strengthening income expectations...” ”Taking January and December together, consumer sentiment has climbed a cumulative 29%, the largest two-month increase since 1991 as a recession ended. For the second straight month, all five index components rose, with a 27% surge in the short-run outlook for business conditions and a 14% gain in current personal finances. source: University of Michigan” https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/consumer-confidence#:~:text=January of 2024.-,Consumer Confidence in the United States increased to 78.80 points,macro models and analysts expectations. -

TimBKK replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Thailand wants mass tourism from India and unfortunately this seems to have attracted the dregs of their society. Especially in Pattaya.- 159 replies

Which cities in Isaan are the most English friendly?
TimBKK replied to smallchungus's topic in Isaan
KK has the Queen Sirikit Heart Center which is, apparently, pretty renowned in Thailand - +1 for KK. https://www.kku.ac.th/gateways-for/student/medical-services/queen-sirikit-heart-center -
Wizz? Just signed up a few weeks ago - not too bad so far, decent support when needed and a pretty excellent array of channels. I use a Fire Stick and have had some buffering issues (200 Mbps is my Wifi speed, might be a tad slow) and thus avoid FHD channels but otherwise I am happy. Fair refund policy if it comes to that, as well. https://www.wizztv.co.uk/

medical cannabis for arthritis of the neck
TimBKK replied to fvw53's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
We just bought 30ml of CBD oil from Sundara - won’t get you high and use a dropper for under the tongue - very good reviews online. Good chance it helps with pain, if I were to guess. https://happylyfe.in.th/th/product/wellness-retreat-th/rest-relax-cbd-th/new-to-cbd-th/น้ำมันซีบีดี-น้ำมัน-cbd-sundara-organic-mint-flavor-5/ https://healthfoodthailand.com/en/cbd-oil-sundara-organic-mint-flavor.html https://www.highthailand.com/strain/sundara-cbd-oil/ -

Looking for 1 place to get everything, can’t be fussed to get meat here, veg there etc. I am in Pattaya Big C, Lotus, Tops, and maybe Friendship (not sure if they do online…) seem to be the choices. Villa too expensive Tops has unlimited delivery for 99b per month, minimum 250b order - seems a good deal Is there consensus about “best” (value for money) option for online grocery shopping?
