Some areas in Thailand are flooding and of course that impacts rice production negatively.

Two cases of new COVID Omicron sub-variant reported in Thailand
I am very concerned when I read recent commentary from these deniers... as if the time of the pandemic was just a long bad dream.. the images coming out of the hospitals, the statistics and numbers, mass burials in various countries..... all forgotten and denied now. If we failed to learn anything from it, we will suffer more from the next one.

PM to look into extending tourist visas to 90 days
People who live here don't use tourist visas or visa exempt entries so that can be understood. It was all different but a year or so back, with the temporary post Covid measures too. My computer doesn't have a Sterling (£).....key either.. I just copied yours.

I did.......

Bank letter for immigration
Yeah, they shut the branch in Big-CX and removed the convenient ATMs at my nearby gas station...... the small branch near Numchai, which is convenient en-route, doesn't open until quite late....

I have not been to Pattaya in nearly 20 years. Tell me what I should do when I visit next month.
Perhaps the way you put it, but sounds extremally rude.

Names of Condominium Juristic management in Pattaya
Overly negative... they do exist..... one has to be prepared for rules though.

Hop on hop off bus
I don't see the baht bus mafia having much of a concern with this tourist bus..... unlike the transport buses they tried to introduce many years ago. Hardly seems a good decision with current state of Pattaya's roads and how they get on holidays.
-
Bank letter for immigration
Yes you can..... presuming you mean the confirmation letter and not the monthly income verification. Just seems to be a regular teller function in the Bangkok Bank branches I have used.

Very hot fridge.
One of my fridges gets hot to the touch on the sides...especially if some stuff has recently been put in there, like a case of beer. Try and maximize space around the sides and rear as BritManToo suggests.

A little Advice
Might be a bit noisy for anyone wanting to get to sleep.... but good food and sit near the window for the best show in town.

New visa-free regime plan for Chinese tourists will see more criminal elements entering Thailand
True for any nationality... do the Chinese have a higher proportion of undesirables than say UK or Germany?

Soi 15 Grand Avenue roadworks
And soi 15 between 2nd and Buakhao.......never forget that major effort, or lack of.

The pretty ones are shy and work indoors.
-
A little Advice
Yes a bit away from things there. Use Google Maps to get an idea of the area, you would have been better off more central or Buakhao area.

Gen Prawit Warns of Future Water Crisis, Urges Conservative Water Usage
I thought he was retiring.... he should be more concerned about his own waterworks.

Driver License Testing: No Win (Catch 22)
Just read a post saying no, that was not what happened for him.

Seems to be a long way to go.....nowhere closer? Or perhaps other reasons.

Hurry up.... my electric bill is due next week and with the current hot spell and my Mrs recent run of absent minded behaviour with lights and fans, I need a break!

Seconded, always use that place. And a liberal approach to companions. Couple of nice pools if one needs to relax for an hour or so between adventures. The old locations of the soi 13s and soi 7/8 are dead.
