Retirement in Bangkok by Cathychan
What is life like to retire in Bangkok?
Great news! I found out I can follow my former attorney to the new law firm after all. An exceptional attorney - an exceptional anything - is hard to come by and I'm very relieved. I'll still happily stockpile any suggestions you might have ... Read More

What is life like to retire in Bangkok?
Hello - I'm in need of a new, competent, no drama, proactive Thailand immigration attorney. My first lawyer, American, made Shakespearian dramas on Broadway look like flatlining by comparison. I've never seen histrionics like that in my ... Read More

I get killed by mosquitoes here. by yamcha
This place is great besides the humidity and mosquitoes. In fact, I could probably live here permanently if weren't so. I get bitten every day whether day or night, indoors or outdoors. A few months ago when I was back in California, it was ...
KruChris, if you think you have dozens of "mosquitoes" in your bedroom and in your things, and a net tent failed you, it seems likely if they're biting you - you don't mention that specifically - that you too are being bitten by no ... Read More

Repeat: so far there are only two people, the OP and myself, who are bitten by these bugs currently in all of Asia. Your experience has zero applicability to what the OP and I are experiencing. The suggestions given so far apply to what ... Read More

I do wonder about cigar smoke. I don't smoke but I think a fine cigar is a heavenly smell. But it seems to drive away all other humans. A control experiment is in order if I can find someone with some Havanas. Only problem if it works is that ... Read More

YOU, OceanBeach, on the other hand, should feel free to chime in. I'm glad someone sees the humor in this. I've found that midges bite me through tight clothing of any thickness, and fly up loose clothing of any thickness. If I am wearing ... Read More

Jiim-Minh, you are talking about mosquitoes. Midges can bite you through any thickness of clothes because the smallest ones can crawl through. They can bite you through layers of heavy jeans. They are not deterred by pyrethrin. Midge behavior and ... Read More

Bad news. You're not being bitten by mosquitoes. They're no-see-ums, or midges as they say in Europe and Australia. I'm probably the only person you will encounter who knows about these damn bugs, and it took me at least a year to figure ... Read More

Any recommendations for the best pharmacy in Bangkok? There was an old post somewhere on some site for Charoen Pharmacy, I think it was called, and a smaller one next door called something like JR's, both on Sukhumvit next to an expat bar. ... Read More
