This is a true story!

Csun13,

Not trying to stop you or your friend from getting a pedicure but Opebo is right.

It is the style in Thailand to round off the nail especially on the toes. Beofore it can be filed it must be cut! and in the toe area there is lots of dead skin that grow that is why they dig and in the end they are suppose to cut not pull the skin off. This is what many untrain ladies do and those who cut them off ( in my unprofression opinion ) can't see very well since they don't have money to get them check and don't want to wear their glasses since it gives the customer a bad impression.

I was a big fan of pedicure. Got them once a month until this happen four years ago. A regular place I was visiting nick me on the left toe, she said "nit noy" thereafter the infection started and after 2 weeks the left toe was a mess, finally went to the hospital and the nail and infected area had to be cut out. Out came the 6 inch needle straight into the toe to numb the area and after that I never got a pedicure again. To this day I can't get the picture out of my mind.

Thanks, I will make sure that he knows about this. I have cut and pasted this and e-mailed it to him. I don't want him to blame me if he got into any trouble. At least he has been warned.

The last couple of days I pulled money out of three different ATMs with my foreign bank card. I found one without the 150 baht fee.

UOB ATM at Nana BTS station right at the top of the escalator from Soi 7: No fee

Please be careful with pedicure gentlemen as many pedicurists will cut the nails far too short or cut along the sides, leading to ingrown toenails. I don't know if this is only a local tendency or is a problem with pedicure throughout the world, but an ingrown nail is no joke - highly unpleasant.

Thanks, I will make sure my friend tell them not to cut the nails too short or on the side. I think he just want them to file smooth the nails since that is something we can't do easily.

Does any one know what is the best way to call overseas from Thailand, Pattaya to be specific, I use IP cards in China and it is soooo cheap, any thing like that in Chick land?

Thanks guys, I think maybe the salons will do a better job on pedicure than the foot massage place.

Good idea! And while he's there he can have is hair color highlights retouched.

I always have my feet done at hairdressing salons. Most of them do pedicure.

Go to August Salon, on Sukhumvit between I think Soi 7 and 7/1.

So I thought I would ask the members here if anyone know where he could get a pedicure in Bangkok. He will be staying at Majestic suite (my recommendation) so anything around there would be great. Thanks

There are a gazillion foot massage shops all over Thailand and BKK in particular, (one or two on every block). Your pal can get a nice pedicure in any of those places.

Thanks for the quick response. So basically all the foot massage have pedicure? I just never had a reason to get a foot massage in Bangkok. There are just better parts of my body I want to get massaged.

I will pass the information on to my friend. Thanks

I have a friend who will be going to Bangkok in a couple of weeks. He is not a member of this forum nor any forums (that I know).

He has being going to China mostly and this is his first trip to Bangkok. He was asking me if he could get a pedicure in Bangkok. I have never looked for a pedicure in Bangkok but I know that they are all over the place in China.

I posted this in the Pattaya thread, but thought I'd link to it here in the General Reports in case people were looking for the best deal from your bank. Here are the posts.

Do the rings still sound funky even when the phone is off? That's a dead give-away, if someone's phone savvy.

In many countries this can be a weak point. Indeed!

Case in point. A mate of mine had told me that he was going on a Management Seminar in our home country.

I called his number a few days later and got the " subscriber can't be reached " message that indicated to me he was definately not in his home country but was enjoying some action in Manila.

He freaked when I told him that I knew where he was. Was VERY nervous his wife would make the same deduction if he wasnt able to answer her calls.
