A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

[Froggy]

Sawasdee krup everyone

Hi bro... that is always the hardest part... i have had a dog died prematurely right before my eyes coughing blood.
Now i have a 4 year old dog which i treat like a son. I am sure your dog has had a happy time and will eventually depart peacefully. Jie Ai Suan Bian.

Than you LeMans. Yes She lived a very happy life with us. One one hand I don't want her to go but on the other hand I urged her to go so that she will not suffer again. She is a Silky, what's your's?

Bro, what kind of sickness is it that the even Thai vets are not able to cure ?

She developed seizure and out 1.5yrs ago and this is due to virus attack. They had not been able to find the source which they suspected is hidden in her brain. Thai vet or animal care is far better and of higher quality than Singapore, vets and caretakers are also far far far more compassionate unlike the pinoys FTs most vets in Singapore employed. I don't blame the FTs, its always the bosses' fault for improper training and education and business values.

I think the vet calls it old age. The police calls it natural death.

knn chey chey chey, she still alive la.

To all fellow Singaporeans and ex-Singaporeans who are planing trips to Thailand, be warned. It very hot these few days and is expected to continue or get hotter till May when rainy season starts.

Past few days temperature at noon onwards was like 38degC (don't believe the weather report of 36degC). I heard from my northern salesman that Chiang Mai is equally hot like 36 degC but evening is very cooling. Wonder how's Pattaya but guess same same Bangkok, Pii Chon how's it over there?

Be prepared, bring a lot of water with you and drink it.

Thanks for the reminder. The temperature in RoC fluctuates about 10 degree Celsius between day and night. The humidity is tak boleh tahan. Just as I was looking forward to return to LoS to catch some sunshine, you're now telling me that it's not sunshine but scorching UV that I should be expecting.

It's equally hot over here. Luckily, I installed the polycarbonate roofing in my old office. Also installed a vertical blind at new office. Also thinking of getting a fan with mist to cool down the surround area outside my office.

Hehehe. Sometimes, find it strange that I have been living in this 'unreal' place for the last few years. Didn't like the place initially when first arrive in Sin City. Now find myself lazy to even travel elsewhere outside Sin City.

Yes, weather is freaking hot. Have not been riding my bike for the last one week. Yesterday and today is the first weekend of the month and so be the shopping malls and supermarkets are really packed. Many like to do their shopping during the first weekend after their pay day. It's quite frustrating when the queues at the checkout counter/cashier are so long.

Re: TGIF: New office theme

Was at this place call Sut Tang Rak at the end of Jomtien. Restaurant/Pub is 10 meters from the beach. Place is packed at 6:30pm. Can tell from the number of cars found at the car park. The also have a seperate section for Wine Lovers.

Many Bangers tonight.

View from my table.

Stead flower crab (Plu Ma Neung)

Forgot the name. It's cabbage with lots of fried small shrimps (Hae Bee).

My favorite. Ordered 6 big ones.

Not convenient for me to take pics openly.

Took this pic while GF when to the ladies.

Overall, will be back again.

After this, went to a friend's bar at Third road. Support one bottle of red label and also whack 2 long island tea. Knn, that's why this morning woke up with a bad headache.

Pool table empty cos' everyone watching football.

Beside the bar also have a 'Ya Dong' stall. Ya Dong are herbal liquor. Have never try so don't know.

Wah. Waitress not bad leh. Hybrid rear braking a little loud so sent to B-QUIK to fix it. Did not make any appointment with them. Turn out B-QUIK also quite crowded. Apparently, folks here like to do everything at the beginning of the month. Hybrid right at the far end. Think another 2-3 hours before my turn.

Weather forecast for Sin City now become Sky Black Black. Think it's going to rain soon. Just had my car washed yesterday.

Today, Toyota not open and happen to be free today. I quite like the service of B-QUIK as their products are usually better than the Toyota or Honda. B-QUIK in Pattaya branch is next to my office and also know the branch manager. Also considering to use nitrogen for the tyres. Anyone got experience with nitrogen? Does it improve the life span of tyres and increase fuel efficiency?

Wah piangz, still got 2 hours more to go. Thinking of dropping by at Aussie bar for a round of beer before coming back to office.

Many of the world's screws come out of this one place GangShan. The moment you arrive at this town its screw factories everywhere. The word screw is a generic name for bolts and nuts, machine screws and anchors, so screws can mean many things. My products are the small ones for roofing not those big bolts and nuts. Yes some of the factories in GangShan are humungous and these are probably producing big bolts or anchors.

Had 2 Singha beer at a bar call D2. It's late afternoon but can see many Aussies/Kiwis already start their beer session.

This joint is kiwis. A boring one.

The neighbour is a Danish joint.

One small bottle (330 ml) is THB 50 all night long. Cheaper than Sinkeeland and got many zha bors to see.
