#1352 Which is your grocery of choice in Thailand?

Posted by zachary on 07 September 2015 - 10:04 AM

I'm looking for which grocery stores have the best online shopping choices in Bangkok. Usually i do my shopping at Big C, sometimes to Tops Market & Villa Market, and rarely to Tesco and Foodland... BigC, Tops & Tesco definitely have the best online shopping setups.

I'm curious, which do you prefer, and why?

 

Big C - http://www.bigc.co.th - get their delivery at HonestBee.co.th

Tesco Lotus - http://shoponline.te...otus.com/en-GB/

Tops Market - http://www.tops.co.th/en/market/

Villa Market - http://www.villamarket.com - get their delivery at HonestBee.co.th

Food Land - http://www.foodland.co.th

Paleo Robbie - https://paleorobbie.com/grocery

#53 Finally found a gym open 24 hours in BANGKOK!

Posted by zachary on 05 May 2014 - 05:07 PM

Hey guys, after searching for a long time, I have finally found a fitness/gym that is open 24 hours in BANGKOK CITY!

 

It's in Ratchada soi 7, it's called "Fitness 7". I think it really deserves good recognition because it's a great gym with an affordable price.

 

1200 per month. The gym is pretty huge. Half is aircon'd, the other half is not (the non aircon side is actually a bit bigger)

 

I will get some pictures and post them very soon, along with full address and information.

 

Anyone know of anymore good gyms open 24 hours in BKK?

#204 Thai Consulate in Cebu or Manila Philippines?

Posted by zachary on 06 August 2014 - 07:55 AM

Hi, does anyone know where are all the Thai Embassy or Consulates in Philippines?

 

So far I've found:

 

http://www.thaiembas...nsular-services

Royal Thai Embassy

107 Thailand (Rada) Street, Legaspi Village

Makati City, Metro Manila, The Philippines

Tel. (632) 815-4219-20

Fax. (632) 815-4221

 

And I am hearing there is also one in Cebu? But the information I'm finding is not checking out (The phone numbers aren't working)

 

Found these:

 

Eastern Shipping Lines Building,

M.J. Cuenco corner Magallanes Streets City: Cebu City

Phone: +63-32 412-1688 (I called, this phone number is disabled)

Fax: +63-32 93013

 

(from a ThaiVisa post from 2007)

Hon. Roy L. Chiongbian
Honorary Consul of Thailand in Cebu
Royal Thai consulate Eastern Shipping Lines Bldg., 
M.J. Cuenco Ave., Cebu
Tel.: 412-1687 / 88 (I called, this phone rang, but finally said "the subsciber could not be reached, please try again later") 

Fax: 254-8827

 

Royal Thai Consulate
Eastern Shipping Lines Building
M. J. Cuenco Street
Cebu City Region 7 
(32) 70261 (not valid number)

Contact Information

Mr. Roy L. Chiongbian
Consul, a.h.
Eastern Shipping Lines Building
M. J. Cuenco Street
Cebu City 
Voice:(32) 70261 (not valid number)

 

 

So basically I'm hitting a dead end here. Any information would be appreciated on which is the best to get a single entry Thai tourist visa.

 

Thank you

Gulliver's both branches Sukhumvit soi 5 and Kao San Road have foosball tables

Flowhouse BKK has in the Chang Surf Bar area

#1334 Best veterinarian school in Bangkok Thailand

Posted by zachary on 27 August 2015 - 07:01 PM

I'm wondering what is the very BEST veterinarian school (university, college, etc) in Thailand, specifically Bangkok (hopefully).

 

I've heard that Kasetsart University with the Kaset Animal Hospital is the best. I guess it's their Bangkhen campus and their programs they have are "faculty veterinary technology and medicine". Anyone beg to differ?

 

Their hospital website is: http://kah.kasetanimalhospital.com

The Kasetsart Uni site is: http://www.ku.ac.th (they have English version)

 

But they do have this website: http://vet.ku.ac.th/vetenglish/ Which is more like a guide (i think) for people going the vet route in university. 

 

 

Oh, and the worst part of the question, do they have somewhere can get a degree in Veterinary education, in ENGLISH?

 

:D   :wub:   :unsure:

#1303 Tourist-boosting 6 month visa with multiple entries coming soon

Posted by onerom on 11 August 2015 - 04:06 AM

Has anyone seen this? Supposedly there is a plan to have 6 month tourist visas with multiple entries, tourist-boosting visa, to help Thailand tourism grow. 

 

 

 

The Tourism and Sports Ministry and tourism operators have hailed the approval of multiple-entry visas effective for six months as a measure that will help to attractmore tourists to the country. 

The ministerial regulation under the Immigration Act of 1979, approved by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday, will allow tourists to get a visa enabling them to make multiple entries into Thailand during a six-month period

The multiple-entry visa will cost 5,000 baht, while a visa for a single entry will be 1,000 baht. 

 

More at the Bangkokpost article here.

#112 Bitcoins in Bangkok?

Posted by zachary on 25 May 2014 - 08:34 PM

I'm just curious, as I'm sitting here watching bitcoinity website and seeing that bitcoins are on the rise again, does anyone here in Thailand, Bangkok are into bitcoins?
 
I really love the concept behind it, the fact you can send "value" to anywhere in the world so quickly, and FREE!
 
Just curious if anyone here owns them, or what is your opinion on them in general?
 
I've seen lots of nasty threads about opinionated bitcoin people, on each side of the fight, lets try to keep this fresh, fun and non violent hehe smile.png
 
Edit: btw BX.IN.TH (BX is closing) & coins.co.th best exchanges for us ppls in Thailand. New one is Satang Pro (previously named TDAX, Thai Digital Asset Exchange)

#68 Went to Tarad Rodfi Train Night Market last night

Posted by zachary on 11 May 2014 - 11:18 AM

Last night I went to the Tarad Rodfi Train Night Market (aka Talaad Rod Fai, talad rot fai) in Sri Nakarin (Sri Nagarindra) near to Seacon Square and Paradise mall.

 

It was pretty awesome. Tons of shops lined with clothes and kanoms (snacks). Lots of desserts and also many little hip bars with live bands. We chose to hangout at "About Time Bar", pretty cool little place, with lots of antique type feel. Live band was good. They have food and lots of beer choice too.

 

Here are some pictures of the Tarad Rodfi market that I took......

#349 Best place for plastic surgery in Bangkok?

Posted by kimmynyc on 11 November 2014 - 02:30 PM

My girlfriend is from Vietnam and going to Bangkok soon to have her eyelids get some plastic surgery done. I think she wants to make her eyes appear to look more rounded or big. Anyone know what are the biggest, best, most famous plastic surgery hospitals in Bangkok?

 

I've was there earlier this year but was on different plans than surgery tripping lol. Thank you

Posted by zachary on 23 April 2015 - 09:41 PM

Anyone heard of Matcha green tea? It's some tea from Japan.
My mom has requested I bring some back to the states for her. Anyone know where to find in Bangkok?

 

I've been through Carrefour and Big C so far and have not seen anything mentioning "Matcha" yet. Still looking, maybe Tops, Villa Market, Food Land? 

 

Thanks

#194 Asian dating sites? Your experiences?

Posted by zachary on 27 July 2014 - 07:18 PM

The best by far is Thai Friendly, I met my gf from there actually :) It's clean, fast and the owner actually cares to make his site the best, and to always improve, every day.

 

Thai Love Links was the biggest for the longest times (until TF came along) but I could never stand being on that site for more than a few minutes. Too cluttery or something. I do think they have a huge user base though, since they are the oldest around (I think).

 

Good luck man, oh, and that sucks you got screwed on that GoodThaiGirl bs site, that site needs a makeover bigtime! yuck!

Posted by robin_the_hood on 30 April 2015 - 09:29 AM

I knew already that Phuket has a hooters, but I just read today that Pattaya is launching a Hooters on beach road very soon too. I love Hooters! I'm just curious, how does Phuket & Pattaya get Hooters restaurants but here in Bangkok we get none?

 

WTH!

 

Anyone been to the one in Phuket?
