Pattaya is much more lively, has great shopping, and more interesting.......but it is very seedy in places. But you can avoid most of those areas if you school yourself as to where they are. Oh yea, dont walk down beach road at night. Its a giant flesh market.
Also, it is much more crowded and hectic and loud with traffic than Hua Hin.
Wise tried charging me about 6 times more than what a simple SWIFT bank transfer cost me on $24 thousand dollars. No problem with my transfer between Charles Schwab in the USA and Bangkok Bank here. A excellent exchange rate too. It took two buiness days. Your mileage may vary.
I just ran a price check on Wise for $24,000. It was around $220. My SWIFT bank to bank transfer total fees for both banks was something less than $40. The exchange rate was very comprable to Wise.
But Wise has been great to me on transfers under $1000. A very quick transfer and cheap.
Very good Ma'am! Thank you for that very informative & helpful post to all! I myself did not know that Bangkok Hospital in Pattaya had a dental clinic there. That is good news. Good luck in your continuing dental work.
I had great work done at the dental clinic of Bangkok Hospital in BKK. Not the cheapest, but very high quality and very professional. Still a lot cheaper than in the West in any case. I would suggest stopping in for an exam and a price estimate and a look-see. Good luck in your work.
Just wait and see. As soon as they get the numbers and revenue they are shooting for, it will revert back to 30.......especially since the PM that pushed it was just shown the door. But in any case, I hope I am wrong. But I don't think so.
That would be great Tim! I would be happy to meet & greet! I will save this thread for future reference. Thank you guys there --- you and Mr Nelson --- for you kind hospitalities!
I very much agree with what you said. Or perhaps Hua Hin just down the road if he is looking for a livelier bigger place. It is a bit more expensive, but still relatively cheap within Thailand.
