  1. Been taking Tamsulosin and Finasteride for about 4yrs as treatment for enlarged prostrate. 0.4mg and 5mg once per day. Initially results were good but have reduced as time goes on. Side effects: E.D, Retrograde Ejaculation.
  2. My friend who is currently in the UK has sold his motorcycle to a Thai lady. I accompanied her to a local MOT testing station who also provide tax and insurance services and other things, such as change of ownership. They informed us that Name changes can only be done if the current owner provides a certificate of residence, copy of passport and visa. As he is unsure when he will return to Thailand, I am interested in any possible solutions to achieve the change of ownership in his absence. We have the green book and a copy of his passport and we are in the Pattaya area.
  3. I had a very large incisional hernia (13cmx17cm) repair done at Smitivej Hospital about 3yrs ago following major abdominal surgery in Bangkok hospital. This was done using Mesh and the laproscopic method which was a 5 hour operation, involved 17 minor incisions and cost 250,000 Baht. There are now 3 separate small hernia's showing through the mesh which developed over the last 3 years but are not causing any problems.
  4. PM me and I will give you the name and number of a guy I use who is based in Nernplubwan. Have used him for years for all kinds of work and always been satisfied.
  5. Newbie to this forum maybe but 16yrs in Thailand, married for 13 of them and owned a very popular bar in Pattaya for 5yrs.
  6. I ended a fairly new relationship for this very reason. Despite attempts to get her to explain it to me, she couldn't. All I got was "I'm shy" I tried to get her to understand that without some kissing and general foreplay, it was not possible to get in the mood for what might follow. They don't seem able to show their feelings, except anger when they are offended by something.
  7. Poolmaster, Sukumvit Rd south Pattaya near Makro on left hand side. They have a good selection of everything.
  8. Rather than worry about a small fine, what you should be concerned about is the fact that without a Licence, your Insurance is invalid. Imagine the cost of repairing someone's Mercedes, or worse, a large hospital bill for someone you injure. A Thai Licence costs a few hundred baht and can be done in one day.
  9. I too live near Mabprachan Lake and have a similar situation. Around 4yrs ago my pool was re-grouted with what I was told was top quality grout, but after only 4yrs, the water had completely destroyed 100% of the grout and began eating away at the tile adhesive, resulting in tiles lifting all over the pool. I decided to re-grout the pool again, but this time I did the job myself using Weber grout and replaced or re-laid the tiles. This done, the pool was re-filled with crystal clear government water delivered by tanker. As the pump was also leaking, I attempted to carry out repairs to it, but couldn't get the correct spare parts and as a result, the pump needed to be replaced as it wouldn't even self prime any more. A complete pump and sand filter were ordered, together with Zelbrite media but this took 12 days to arrive, by which time my pool had become a lovely shade of dark green. Since then, (2 weeks ago) the new system has been running for 18hrs p/day and although not green any more, the water is still cloudy and despite chemicals being added every few days by my pool guy, it is not improving. Standard test kit shows PH way too low and Chlorine does not even register on the scale. Having done some research, it would appear that you need a more comprehensive test kit and a good knowledge of the myriad of chemicals that may be required to correctly balance the water. If anyone knows of a competent company in my area that could carry out this exercise, please let me know.
  10. Do TQ's Agogo on Beach Rd in Pattaya know something we don't?
  11. Follow on from my previous post. Having received no confirmation email from the 1st submissions on Nov 1st, I re-applied on the 2nd, using a gmail address and edited my NHS Covid pass, inserting a passport number. Successful submission and confirmation email received instantly. Approval and Thailand Pass QR code received 5th Nov for myself and Thai wife. Please note, I applied on both occasions selecting the Test&Go option. My NHS Covid Pass contained no QR codes. My Thai wife could not get a NHS Covid Pass, so I uploaded 2 copies of the same hand written appointment card showing the dates of her vaccine and the type of vaccine administered. It would seem that human verification is being done and thankfully, common sense is being applied. Good luck to everyone still waiting, but patience might be the name of the game.
  12. Okay, here's my story which may help someone. Currently in UK with Thai Wife, planning to return to LOS 15th November. Apple Macbook Pro using Chrome. No problem until it came to the final Submit which returned the API Sever error. Multiple re-uploading Insurance file and Re-submit achieved nothing but the same error message. Closed Chrome, opened Firefox and entered the wife's details. Sailed all the way through and successfully submitted. Then, still using Firefox, entered my own details again. Had no problem registering using same email and passport number but once again final submission failed with API Server error. Using the back buttons in the application, edited my passport number by putting a space at the end of it, next, next, next through to final submit button again and it worked. No confirmation email as yet or message at the end of the process as to how long I might have to wait. Hope this helps.
