Whyowhy - if I'm not mistaken you used to be FOR songkran? Were you not laughing at those of us who think it is out of control earlier in this topic? (now apparently deleted)

Another fallacy was sewer water being thrown, it's just the same water we all shower with.

People shower in sewer water ?? I doubt that sincerely.

Approximately how many beers does the limit equate to?
If I venture out I have a maximum of three draft beers over a period of about 90 minutes and usually ride my motorcycle home.
I'm a big guy and never feel anywhere remotely drunk after three drafts.
I have been stopped many times not at Pattaya Tai but at the Soi Kaow Noi/Railway road junction but have never been breathalysed they just ask me for my license.
This is a quote I found on the net,
There is no definitive answer to this one. It entirely depends on factors to do with the alcohol i.e the strength of it, and on factors which relate to you as an individual.
Those factors would relate to your weight; height; general health ( particularly relating to liver function) but also to whether you had eaten beforehand and to the speed of consumption of the alcohol.
To summarise, there is no absolute way of saying at what point you would be 'over the limit'
I would add, alcohol, even in small quantities, can affect the ability to react appropriately when driving, and the safest thing would be not to drink.

Little off topic
One of my customers(guests) was arrested for drink driving the other day at 6AM.
He was taken into custody and is awaiting court hearing today.
What is the procedure in Thailand? DO they just get fined? or jail time? does anyone have any idea???
PS. He does not have a lawyer
I think this is perfectly laid out / explained in the OP (or Opening Post or First Post which started this Thread)
Did you read it ?

Absolutley, let's give the boys in brown more ways to line there pockets and hold a gun to the nations head!
People only worry about money and not about the consequences of Drinking and Driving. If you killed someone because you where drinking and driving, that doesn't go away in the Morning after you sobered up. It's stays with you for the Rest of your Life.

What about never ever Drink and Drive and not just 1 single month ????
Let's be constructive and try to give good advices for readers !
PS: Read my posts once more, I used to take taxis BEFORE the songran check-points..
My Constructive point is ......... Don't drink and Drive because that's the only solution to this problem, as you won't get caught
..............
And I suggest everyone to avoid to drive drunked in Pattaya for at least 1 month, wait & see !

Depending on your IPS and router, when you log into your router, open DHCP in the basic settings,and in the choices, there is a DHCP table that tells you who is logged into your Wi-fi.
If you don't know any of the Host names or MAC addressees there, go to your Wireless settings and there is a MAC address filter , that you can copy and paste MAC numbers into this table, to disable their access to your Wi-fi.
No need for a program to monitor your traffic, it is already there.
It all of course depends on the brand of your Router if it's there or not. A lot of the standard / cheap routers don't offer MAC address filtering.
But this is where draftvader's suggestion (Tomato) can come in too play (His post about this: )

How sad, soo many people wanting to have Children but can't and then this

The MAC address can be spoofed.Yes but you have to know what value will be accepted , and that is not so easy.
The standard value for most routers is 00:00:00:00:00:00, so it's wise to change that a More difficult value (Only numbers (0-9) and letters (A-F) accepted)
It is not the MAC address of the router, but the MAC address of the machines which are allowed to be connected to it which you need to know.
I have never sen a MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00
Sorry Small mistake, it should read "the standard value in the mac address filter for most routers is 00:00:00:00:00:00".
But then again everything can get spoofed

^ surayu. I have to take my hat off to you, You prove Chivalry isn't dead yet ! Respect
-
Shame they dont crack down on the jetski scammers the same way.
True, but how many people get killed daily because of Drunk Driving ??????
-
Yes true, but you have to prove it not they, and that's why I don't share my Connection. Too much hassle which can easily be avoided
-
^ But how can you prove it ? It's done via your IP Address which was at that time assigned to your Router by your ISP. Isn't that all that counts ? Guilty Until Proven Innocent ?

A friend of mine was checked last night at 4h45 AM on second road.
He told me that he saw police check-points for alcool the whole week and every nigths: pattaya Tai, 2nd road, 3rd road & pattaya Nua !
Someone can confirm ?
what difference does it make, don't drink and drive period........I don't give a shit if you don't wear a helmet but when you drive while drunk you are endangering me and and everyone else - knock it on the head before you kill or seriosly injure someone
Hear, Hear. I only wish that they have those checkpoints on all major Sois and not just on the obvious ones ! This way it's too easy for them to dodge it (So many back roads)
-
Your router should have an option where you can see whoever is connected at any times and also keep a log of the connections, what model and make it is?
I keep mine open, as long as i don't get penalized by this, i don't have problem in sharing it, as at the end of the month the bill will always be the same....
Up2you if you keep it open, but when you get penalized because of it, it's too late to do anything about it.

aside from the problems caused by these guys renting a jet ski, (and i sympathize,) why would you ever come here from Macau ?
perhaps they felt like slumming it......
Cheap sex and booze perhaps?
No No No

Notification of staying over 90 days - present a TM 47, can also be done by mail...
my friend is still waiting for cards he send (In February) to his new House in Soi SIam CC from BIG C Extra.

@4evermaat.
Wife always has to be present when going for extension of stay (First time and subsequent times) based on Marriage, don't leave the door without her then. Other times up 2 you
Witness is only necessary the first time you apply (In Pattaya that is, don't know about the other Immigration Offices)
-
Question: What is a 90-day renewal?
I believe people on retirement visa's have to go in and verify their address every 90 days in order to stay in the country.
All people who are on a extension of stay (1 Year) (Retirement, Marriage and other visas) have to do that.

^^ and Kudos to you Thaidiver, to bring into a thread about Breathalyzer and alcohol in Pattaya the feared leader of Thailand once again Maybe it's because of the word jail ?????
-
well raro i wish no ill feeling towards anyone i just hope you never have a accident and if you are drinking and driving don't be speeding.I don't know how much you drink but if it is less then what you would pay for taxies then either you must not drink to much therefore are never " pissed out of your mind "
or you get a lot of free drinks
everyone just stay safe
Well, a beer at Leo's is 80 Baht, my bill hardly ever exceeds 500 Baht. Over the limit, but OK in my books.

Until you get stopped and have to take a Breathalyzer test

Bigjimmy,
I sincerely do sympathize. The noise factor in Pattaya is what's driving us away from Pattaya and going to more rural surroundings, where you can buy 10 Rai of Land (not costing an arm and a leg as in Pattaya) and not be bothered by any noisy Neighbors.
I know what I said doesn't help a bit, but I hope you get it resolved as it's one of those things that can spoil / ruin everything
