Foreign “managers” on soi 6
I was and still am irritated by male serving staff.... damned Peppermint was the place where I first saw them. Back in the days there was a surplus of willing female staff.

Foreign “managers” on soi 6
There have always been a lot of foreign bar owners and managers in Pattaya.....the profusion on soi 6 was a different and more recent business model that produced a marmite type of reaction. They accept commission drinks but not sure if they can be barfined.

Thailand ranks bottom of the pile with ASEAN English score
That would be over qualified for someone only expected to give you a dirty look, grunt and stamp a passport!

New 90 day check in requirements at Jomtien Immigration
Well if you insist on being pedantic, it was immediately 'received'.... no mention of 'accepted', then 'approved' after a few days. Did you book the long argument or the 5 minute one?

That said, I have recently noticed quite a few families with young kids, often have a bit of English in their interaction. The parents are far younger than I am of course, and they may well be middle class. Perhaps it is a status thing?

Didn't that start with them allowing foreign owned casinos to be built, then hotels etc etc? Indicative that if Thailand does decide to allow casinos, the control of them should be kept in domestic hands.

New 90 day check in requirements at Jomtien Immigration
Accepted was near immediate, I just got the approved yesterday. Approved being the whole point of the exercise.... print out the receipt and paperclip into passport and nothing to fret over for 3 more months.

New 90 day check in requirements at Jomtien Immigration
I put mine in on Thursday and surprisingly not had it accepted yet, usually same or next day. Not been out of country for an age so not expecting issues, but I too always have a little concern. I live to the North of Pattaya, so it's a fair drive to immigration and I struggle to keep up to date on road works around town!

Bank account freeze scam strikes fear: Fraudsters use shocking new tactics in Thailand
Heaven knows.... I suspect people are persuaded to give out access information. I know one of my apps allows me to block all outward transactions.

Thai workers left in the lurch: Government’s broken promise leaves evacuees stranded
They were quick to make promises then are slow to act out. In reality this was not the fault of the Thai Government and offering compensation to people who chose to go and work elsewhere is a generous move. I worked overseas and would have only expected my Government to help get me out of there if things went unstable.

Lazada deliveries require a phone call very likely from an unknown number. I was told the agent required a call pickup for him to be able to flag an item as delivered. It is possible your message answering service makes that work.
