Hey guys,

If you are in Jomtien area or Pattaya. Would love to connect with other mongers and head to the Lady Bars! And make some friends in Pattaya. I am here for 5 months.

Cheers!

Gentlemen,

I hope you will allow me to ask a question from those who are most likely to know the answer.

I am wondering if anyone knows if I can purchase nitroglycerin paste or patch, and Linsopril at a local pharmacy without a prescription. If not can someone recommend a GP doctor I might visit to see if I can secure the necessary paper work.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Sky.

It will be a challenge, no doubt. Yes, going to a soapy or oily will be far better than a live in. With that said, what better way to have my body and mind prepared to go to one of the real venues than being prepped by an at home massage. There must be some expat they enjoys this type of situation.

Actually having one of the soapy or oily girls take the room, and she can warm up for her job right at home with me! But she needs to cook and clean too! Anyways, only want someone for 3 to 5 days a week. Don't want a full time live in. Might be more attractive to someone if they know they can go do whatever they want for half of the week.

Plan to find a part time live in maid / cook. That is why I would need 2 bdrooms. She will be required for massage, but no sex. Wondering how to find her.

Something says me that it will be easier to find someone for sex than for "massage only".

May need to stay longer than 30 day tourist visa due to medical treatments. I understand there is no 'in country' extension. What is the quickest cheapest way to exit / return for another 30 day tourist visa?

Cannot you apply for a longer visa? I don't think that can be done at the border, you will have to do it in your home-country through the local consulate or embassy.

I usually stay at one of the Condo's on Sukhumvitt, as there are so many short term monthly leases available there. I have stayed at the Trendy. Expensive about 30,000 baht a month for a studio, includes everything. Wireless internet, cable with English stations, great gym and pool, super close to all the action, secure building. Or you could stay at the Onmi Plaza on Soi C Nana about 1/2 mile down from the Nana plaza. Rates are better and the building is well known by the Thai girls so having a visit will be easy without too much explanation.

Is 'Condos on Sukhumvit' the actual name? This is my first time posting in the Living inThailand section, so can anyone point me to a resource for locating property agent, and any general tips on making Bangkok my new part time home.

Sometime next year I plan to lease a 2 bdroom condo, somewhere nearby either the Asoke or Nana BTS. Seen some ads on www.bangkokcondofinder.com, and quite a few nice looking 2 bdrms /1 bath for 30,000. My budget will be 40,000 plus whatever additional costs for cable, wifi, and electricity. Nearly every condo I viewed on that website has everything I need, a gym, pool, and security.

Hi Amavida. You might consider going to Kuala Lumpur and return the same day. It's possible for about US $100 and beats sitting in a bus for hours on end.

Also, you might ask your medical provider about getting a visa extension for you. If my memory serves, medical treatment is one of the very few visa extension loopholes. Good luck, TTG.

Good idea! Thanks for the suggestion TTG.

When you entry Thailand by road you get a 14-days visa, when you fly in its 30 days, at least for European pasport holders. So that route to the Cambodian border is giving you a 14 days visa.

I heard some months ago from a British girlfriend who said she goes to Laos and when she returns she gets a 60 days visa. She always used a travel agency from Khosan Road.

Thanks, very much appreciate the additional info!

Move to Cambodia from Bangkok and return. The are travel agents on Soi11 who have a return transport to the border.
