Immigration don't follow their own rules, eg. TM30 reporting, so why should foreigners not follow the example they set?

You can pre-book tickes using 12goasia otherwise just hang around the airport for a while until the next bus. I did that trip two weeks ago and had to wait 90 minutes for the next bus because it was very busy. Luckily the ticket office is right next to the cheap food court so you can get fed and watered for normal prices and not the insane numbers they're asking for upstairs. You have to exchange cash for a plastic card to buy stuff there but they'll do it for as little as 10 baht so you can get bottle of water without breaking the bank (vending machines upstairs want 40 baht, McDonald's want 54 baht!)

The first stop isn't really Central Pattaya, more like North Central. If you look on Maps you'll see where it is in relation to Pattaya Neua and Pattaya Klang. Not really a big deal unless you're walking to your hotel 😅

Both Supperiches, and Vasu, are quoting AUD buy rate at ฿23.40. That's at their Bangkok HQs on Ratchadamri and Sukhumwit. They're considered to be the best rates in Thailand and from what I've read over the years they can handle big amounts and may even give better than the headline rate if you know how to negotiate.

OP, are you absolutely sure that cash is not an option? Snatch and grabs are virtually unheard of so what is your main concern?

2nd world is the Communist bloc. Thailand is far from that, despite its close ties with PRC.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

I live in Bangkok and am on the lookout for a Bangkok based agent who can facilitate a non-O retirement extension at Bangkok Immigration office a.k.a. Chaeng Wattana a.k.a. CW. For the Full Monty, not just hand holding. The conventional wisdom is that agents cannot get this done at CW and therefore have to send yor passport upcountry. Or you head to Pattaya to get it done on the cheap. So I was hoping you could PM me your agents phone number so I can chat with them about their services.

Are you absolutely sure that your extension was issued at Chaeng Wattana and not upcountry? If so would you be able to send me their details via private message?

Baby talk.

no, but it's really, really sad 😢😢😢

if you have to toot your own horn then you don't really amount to much. anyhow, carry on telling us how good you are, there's not much else going on in here today.

That's how I feel about where you live 🤣🤣🤣

Nobody likes a FIGJAM.

Baby talk.

I don't think there's anything Argentinian about El Gaucho except the name. Their steaks are from Australia and USA. https://th.elgaucho.asia/contact/about-us

Roong Reuang Coach run big buses from Mochit to North Pattaya bus station. Dunno how you get from DMK to Mochit, taxi mafia I guess. Or maybe you can order a Bolt or Grab car... https://pattayabus.com/

No worries mate. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours 🥳

Ah, that explains why you're out of pages.

Not your business. Advise him of the pros and cons, sans faux moralising, and let him make his own decision.

YMMV as the Yanks say. A good buddy of mine had to leave the country to kill his first agent-assisted retirement extension get a new non-O in a neighboring country. AND a 15-minute lecture from the dragon lady at SP Immi 🤣

you're a noob, as evidenced by your simplistic comment re using an agent.

yes I think you've already made it clear that you are a massive wuss 😹
