More bad news for the world class family destination I see. The good old Visa exempt for all at work! -
Report Pattaya’s Safety Facelift Meets Skepticism from Long-term Expats
jacko45k replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
I was thinking this as I sat in immigration only the other day (although the place has got much more efficient).... they do make it difficult, a trip to immigration for me is about 14-15 km and I don't enjoy the drive. Forcing me to do that for a trivial 90 day report and the TM 30 nonsense and palaver of the extension each year. Gets harder every time.... -
Yeah, I sort of go there purely because it is the most convenient to get to and park in...... coming from North of town, plus I can do the trip both ways with zero or only 1 set of traffic lights!. Pretty good Mall and Big-CX has a lot of variety. Not sure how long the ceiling will hold up though, or whether it will be closed for a while to get it fixed.

Crime Police Called After Indian Tourist Climbs Onto Taxi in Pattaya

Did the driver not have the 10 baht coin for change? -
I suspect some conditions come along with getting a Permission of Stay, or an extension of it, surely behaving oneself is one of those and respecting the local laws. Break those terms and the 'visa' can be revoked. The deflection to the locals is not relevant, we have enough scofflaws in the country!

So many claims and explanations and yes, excuses, I am left cynical!

Too cheap to even put on the AC.......a stand fan usually helps.

In my early days in Thailand, helmet wearing was actually more common. Certainly on the highway roads and in town. But then there were also police at major junctions pulling people over who didn't. Last 3 or 4 years, lack of policing has led to lack of obeyance.

She was pillion of course in this case. But more often than not, you will see 2 or 3 girls on a bike, a 13 year old driving, and no helmets. Was thinking this as I was at the 7-11 at school chucking out time just the other day. So sad.

A bunch of flowers from some low City Hall official maybe?

No, no screens, never liked them,. Pain to clean, get a lot of dust in them and darken the room.

Rooftop pool is next door mate! -
I get a few too many mosquito bites through a mesh back.... had to add a floor mat to it.

Sounds like someone else is using the same or very near frequency.

Crime Woman Injured in Violent Bag-Snatching Incident in Sattahip
jacko45k replied to Georgealbert's topic in Pattaya News
Well done, drag him along to the cells then! -
You didn't read comments directed at him and his subsequent responses did you?
-
It s beginning to look like a good place to catch these fraudsters is at the high end German car dealers!
-
Glad that it wasn't a chunk of the main structure, but still vey much a concern if bits are being later attached to the main structure of buildings which are unsafe.

restaurants and pubs with live pop/rock in style of hops brewhouse
jacko45k replied to kriswillems's topic in Pattaya
How about the Rolling Live on soi 8, is that still going? (Or has Nick Dean bought it?) -
Yeah, I saw that post, wasn't it by a 'Mr Bleeding Obvious'?
-
And then switching on data on my phone and then Bluetooth and pairing.... all irrelevant really as my truck radio doesn't have Bluetooth. I firmly believe my phone should be left in my pocket while driving.....
-
Are you proud of this or something? Nearly 50% are immigrants?
-
Notwithstanding that these loans are more likely non refundable gifts!
