Most used cars seem to be selling for just as much as a new car by Paul Miller
Hi, I am new to Pattaya. If any other expats can help me to find a used car at a reasonable price, it would be fantastic. Most used cars seem to be selling for just as much as a new car, I don't understand this. Any suggestions?
I bought a 20 year old Honda City a couple of years ago for just under 100k baht.Not worth buying new as we’re only in Thailand a few months each year.It’s done about 180k Km’s but it drives great. Had it checked over at a local ... Read More

Gardening Question by kevh
We’re trying to get rid of weeds from our lawn in Thailand. In England, we use ‘ Weed and Feed’ which kills the weeds and promotes grass growth but we haven’t seen anything like it so far in Thailand. Can anyone over here ...
@martinoo2002 You have quite a lot more garden than we have by the sound of it, My wife’s removed all of the weeds by hand from areas of the lawn where they were. So we’re going to have a look around for some turf to fill in the patches ... Read More

Hiring gardeners is easy Martin, finding someone who’ll actually do a decent job is a nightmare! If you live here all the time it might be easier but as we only get out to our place once a year it’s been a real problem for us.Our ... Read More

@martinoo2002 Last time we asked around in Thailand, a couple of years ago, all we could get was weed killer, was hoping things might’ve changed. I’ll keep looking. Thais don't seem to be into gardening like we are in the West sadly. Read More

Entering Thailand with Prescribed Medication by kevh
Anyone entered Thailand recently from UK with prescription medication?Just wondered how many days of medication you’re allowed to take in. The Thai Embassy website says 30 days but apparently that info is out of date and the FDA of Thailand ...
Thanks for the suggestion Martin but I already have my own medication, only for blood pressure but we’ve decided it’s just not worth the hassle. The likelihood is we probably wouldn’t get stopped but knowing our luck we would and ... Read More

Just spoke with the FDA of Thailand. Only 30 days supply allowed unfortunately. Sure, we could chance taking them in but the possible repercussions should we be stopped just aren’t worth it. Just have to see if the local pharmacy has our ... Read More

@simonbolton79 Thanks for that info. We’ll be going through Dubai Airport en route and they allow 3 months supply of prescription medication to be carried so I’m hoping that Thailand will be the same. Better safe than sorry I suppose. Read More
