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.

...........

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)

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

Because of The Wonderful Countryside and the Temples

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.

Question, Weren't the Banks closed yesterday ?

^^ 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.

sent from my Android phone

Until you get stopped and have to take a Breathalyzer test

Maybe off topic, but what happens if you take (when intoxicated or not) a MotoBike Taxi home and the MotoBike Taxidriver fails the Breathalyzer ? Who's responsible ? The Farang because he hired the MotoBike Taxi or the MotoBike Taxi because he got drunk ?

wheww...thanks for the heads-up! Whereas it is possible to get a Baht bus in town to back home where I live, it is more or less impossible to get into town without your own ride. Around the darkside is no public transport whatsoever so no chance to go to a pub and get home unless you drive by yourself...

I would imagine it would still be wise to just leave one's car/bike in town for the nite and retrieve it the next day. Of course, there is also the option of just sleeping it off in town as short-time hotels/rooms are available all around town (some of the Thai market ones quite plush...uhem or so I have heard) for a few hundred baht for a few hours to 500-600 for the nite.

that's a very good advice, but most people (that drink and drive) don't want to spend any money on Taxi Drivers or cheap hotel rooms they want to keep their money in their pockets (because they think it's a waste). And when they are too intoxicated that they don't care anymore about the consequences, they just take their bikes / cars / whatever and head on home. When they get home safely without getting caught or causing an accident, they say: "You see, I'm a good driver even when I'm intoxicated, so I can do the same again next time when I go out for a Drink."

^ and 2014 and 2015 and 2016 and 2017 and 2018 and 2019 and so on and on ....

Airasia tickets that far ahead are dirt cheap

It already started in those area's mentioned late afternoon on the 11th.

how many units of alcohol is a small bottle of heineken?

Check it here: http://www.bhf.org.uk/alcoholcalculator/

.......

Do you have any idea what a taxi charge you to take you from downtown to the dark side? Not all of us live in downtown Pattaya.

True, but any taxi is a cheaper then spending 19 Hours in a stinking Jail cell and paying 2000 +++ THB in fines.

What difference will it make what we think or vote! It's a bloody stupid pole. You can't have it all, if you come here you have to put up with it!!

Let's have a Poll if we can have a Poll !!

I guess, the next solution People will come up with to avoid SongKran is to move and or buy a car.

When we got married last year, they asked my wife a couple of questions at the Amphur.

The questions where something like, how long do you know him etc etc, but I wouldn't call it an interview more like a Chit Chat.

Thanks for the replies.

I looked for a shops list but the web site does not really seem to list them - at least I could not see any in English.

....

The AIS shops in Sri Racha and Rayong are the only ones in the link I posted, just feed that in to Google Translate.

After you done that, you will get this.

Chon Buri

21-23 City Road, Sriracha, Sriracha, Sriracha, Chonburi 20100 2.

Hours: Monday - Sunday 9:30 to 18:00 pm (closed holidays).

Rayong

550/7 Sukhumvit Road, the Phra Muang Rayong 21000.

Hours: Monday - Saturday 9:30 to 18:00 pm (Sunday) (Closed on public holidays).

Thank you. I remember now that is possible with online banking. I had been looking for a place on the TrueMove site to do that.

However now I am still uncertain how can I purchase a package (I want unlimited internet) without a cell phone (dialing). Thanks.

I think the only way is put the sim in a phone and dial a Code (but this just guessing), maybe you can call the True Helpdesk ?

Edit: //

I am looking for you on the True Website, but it seems that they have updated their website, and the English Language Button is not working on many of the Pages.

Can you send sms's ??

According to this page: http://www3.truecorp...ackagedetail/79 you can subscribe packages by sending an SMS (with the package number) to 9789

Another simple solution would be, find the code for the package you want, go to a Phone Shop ask them to borrow a 3G phone (maybe the sim even works in a normal (no 3G phone) ) and punch in the codes and press send.
