New passport, how to change drivers license
How often do you need to show your driving licence? I have never needed to show mine 3 years since I renewed it. I think the police have all retired.

VIP Visa?
Hopefully not with a few passports and deposits!

Beer Bar Scam Soi Buakhou
They may be losers, but not the type to be so stupid to pay a heavy bar fine, 10 drink minimum and all the other silly things that might get asked of him! Did he stop off at the gold shop on the way to the hotel too?

Retirement Visa early renewal . (Pattaya Immigration)
I have heard of folks renewing earlier than that there, for example by showing a flight booking that they were leaving the country prior to renewal date.

Professional Dental Cleaning (not Bleaching) – in Jomtien, Pattaya?
She has quite a crowd of assistants around her, all young women, when at work. I recall once one of them stroking my hand and the main lady singing near my ear. Still wasn't enjoying things!

DLT keeping the original foreign driver's license or not when converting to a Thai license
I always drove on my UK one, backed by an International in the USA, and never bothered to get a State licence... moved around a bit, Perhaps I pushed my luck. I only got pulled over once in Kansas City, MO. The police man (big bugger) was a little flummoxed by my licence and had to call it in to verify I could drive there on it. Rented many cars on it no issue.

Pattaya Gridlock Sparks Urgent Transport Solutions
I was waiting to cross 3rd Rd on foot yesterday at the Klang junction, making use of the red and white crossing painted there. The lights changed and a minibus accelerated for the junction and hurtled across several seconds late .. I had fortunately held back seeing him coming. A camera and police patrol a little further North on 3rd could have caught him and many others breaking through red. It was a wild day on the roads yesterday.

Professional Dental Cleaning (not Bleaching) – in Jomtien, Pattaya?
Yeah mine puts me through it too.. most certainly gets under the gums and calls it deep cleaning too. My level of discomfort doesn't seem to play into it!

Foreign Tourists in Pattaya Feel "Short-Changed" Amid Local Deals
Always recall being in Sri Lanka and hearing from a driver that the police won't mess with him as he has a foreign tourist with him, and they are not to be messed with! We are too common here and seem go be generally disliked, and seen as cash cows.

Woman Duped by Younger Man Who Stole Cash & Gold
That is consoling as hearing the comment 'oh we had him in here last week'......why is he not banged up!

Drunk Woman Ignores Pleas, Crashes After Argument
Can't tell many a drunken woman what to do... just taking the keys is the only way. She could at least have hit the illegally parked pickup, parked in the middle of the crossing!

Pattaya's Walking Street to Glow with New 3D LED Sign
That will keep me well away. What a bloody racket that can be. It was an issue in Kuta, Bali when I was there last.

Pattaya Residents Despair as Road Project Hits Year Four
Seen many many examples of this over the years, always think back to the poor buggers with condos or businesses on Soi 15. Not only the slow moving and very messy drainage project, but a few electrical fires thrown in too.

Traffic back to Bangkok on a Sunday vs Monday?
I would suspect more on a Sunday due to day trippers.. but spread out a bit more timewise.

Foreign Tourists in Pattaya Feel "Short-Changed" Amid Local Deals
I certainly have. One case the guy used a lawyer to get his passport back off them, and I recently saw a YT vlogger do a runner on a small clinic bill.
