Oh it's still going but the last time I was in there, about 5 months ago, it was no longer a restaurant. It had morphed into a pool hall / staging area for the Kings Castle girls to pretty themselves for the night to come.

Wise is a Visa debit card, not a credit card. I was responding to your question which was something like "why not use your normal bank card". As I already mentioned, normal Aussie bank debit cards are prohibitively expensive for ATM pulls which is the topic. There are only a few options to reduce the fees, ING Orange Everyday being one of them. I note from another post that you might be Canadian. If so then there's no point comparing your card options to Australian ones, it's a totally different universe down there.

I don't know for sure, that's why I was asking if you knew. For all I know "webfact" is a multi-user account that is used to post these "news" articles with the clickbait headlines and childish humour.

if you really want to know then Google "St Regis Bangkok John Shepherd" and prepare to go down the rabbit hole.

what Aussie credit card gives cashbacks and fee-free ATM withdrawals?

Adapting to life in Thailand ... you're doing it wrong.

you omitted the part about the tourists bring on a "central reservation", according to an eyewitness.

In the middle of Pattaya? Wow, can I come visit and help out with I'm there next?

Yay Region 2 police! Just don't target my favourite speakeasy ????

thanks ????. btw it's not my case so I'll tag @ultramarinein case he doesn't see your response.

you're a bit late to the party fella, OP's already got it sorted with no fine. he's also going to sign up to the web-based tm30 portal. you should know better than to post a reply without reading ALL the replies, there's really no excuse.

I need to go out to drink coffee. Even better if the café has a nice view. Do you know of any places in Bangkok that have a range of coffee from different countries? I was spoiled when I was younger, the local shopping mall had a place called Coffee Emporium that stocked coffee from all around the world. They'd happily make you a shot of whatever you chose for an extra 50 cents. The place was started by Macedonians then taken over by Lebanese so they had decent coffee, not the swill that Aussies like ????

How would the consulate know where you are located? Are they doing stuff like logging IP addresses or browser fingerprinting?

Nobody on this forum has uploaded a copy of a Tourist e-Visa so I don't know how it compares to the good old one page sticker which never showed such detail. Does it show any of this info? I doubt it, and the IO at Swampy won't have access to it on his system anyway as it is held with the consulate in Canada. So you should have no problem using your visa before it's use-by date. Come on over and have a great trip.

that's what poor people say.

Other recommendations for Pattaya-based agents in this thread, but you'll have to wade through a lot of "agents are bad mmkay?" comments to find the info ???? https://aseannow.com/topic/1264956-pattaya-visa-agent-recommendation/

Other agents that get mentioned quite often on here are: Key Visa - Pattaya Thai Visa Centre - Bangkok

why pay an agent when... nah just kidding. yes it should be cheaper for an agent to provide the "non-workaround" extension service. Maneerat on Soi Post in Pattaya have a very good reputation and quite reasonable prices for the "full Monty" (12.5k-14k) but I don't know what their discount is for a non-workaround extension. https://m.facebook.com/maneerat.fon.0818630320/

I use a password manager called BitWarden but that's not a perfect solution either.

That's Rooster aka BostonRob2, right?

"It goes to eleven"

i understood it and im a mental midget. but im man enough to admit that I have no solution for the op because I ditched facebook a few year's ago and have no intension of jumping thru the hoop's he has discribed.

Where do I pay? I'm willing to fork out 1,000 baht* for all matches. UHD/HDR and ad-free of course. * incl. VAT

Ban Laem immigration officers are the shady ones. "Too many visas" isn't sufficient reason for them to deny him re-entry to Thailand and he hasn't used up his two land entries per calender year. And how shady is refusing to let him exit the country without a valid reason? An actual legal reason not just something they pulled out of their jacksy.
