Advice on Panama by Tankgirll
Hello all! I was hoping I might be able to get some good insight and opinions from all of you who have already made the leap! Here is my situation: I am looking at moving to either the Tulum/Playa del Carmen area of Mexico; San Carlos, Panama; or ...
Although we live in Pedasi, San Carlos is one of the areas we researched. It is a town with a Regional hospital and clinic, super-mini groceries, and restaurants. If you need something more, nearby Coronado offers large grocery markets (Rey, Super ... Read More
Speaking Spanish in Panama by Priscilla
Hi everyone, It is widely agreed that speaking Spanish is essential for a successful integration in Panama. Do you agree? Share your experience! Do you speak Spanish? If so, where did you learn this language? Where can one attend a language ...
Yes, I do try to speak Spanish although not very confident at times when I do. And it is sometimes hard to understand when someone talks to me-seems very fast. But I do think that it is important to learn and keep on learning Spanish to communicate ... Read More

I must disagree with Jim about MBE. There must be some extenuating circumstance in his situation. We have an MBE account & mail box in Las Tablas. My husband orders his meds from the VA and has never had those problems as described, as recently ... Read More

Hi, When living in a foreign country, you have to adapt to a new environment, various cultures and different social codes. How did you manage to adjust to Panama? How long does it take to feel at home? Would you say it is an easy ...

Safety in Panama by Christine
Hi, We would like to talk about a sensitive but important topic: do you feel safe in Panama? How would you define the level of safety in the country? Can you walk safely during the day and at night without any fear? Do you think there ...

Coming for a visit - any recommendations on hotels? by bwadetx
I'm putting together our September trip to Panama in order for my husband and I to visit several towns. We need to pinpoint where we want to live next year. We thought about renting a car once we get off the plane but I'm afraid it might get ...
$20-$30. The bus to Pedasi is $2.50, but again most taxis and buses do not run after 6pm. Las Tablas is a small country town, Pedasi is even smaller. Hopefully you stay overnight in Panama City, then you will have all the next day to get to Pedasi ... Read More

If you are arriving late I would recommend booking in advance. Many of the hostels close after 6-7 pm. Casa de Campo is very nice, but expensive. Many other hostels I could recommend in Pedasi (Hostal Dona Maria, Casita Margarita, Casa Lajagua, ... Read More

Yes,Air Panama only flys to Pedasi on Wednesdays, Fridays, & Sundays at 3:00pm. The buses run every hour on the hour up until 7pm from Albrook to Las Tablas. Then you could probably catch a taxi to Pedasi, or a small bus(van), from there. Just ... Read More
