Thx in advance ????
  2. Hello All ,,,, I am a solo traveler and have booked a hotel (JP ) already for the rocket festival weekend (4 night) and I would like a bit of local knowledge as to where are the best places to have a beer and get some food and watch the world go round ,.. and any other tips that I might find useful would be kindly appreciated . Cheers Rocketeers ????
  3. UPDATE ! The Land & transport office have a LINE Group .. you can ask questions on there .. They respond fairly quickly during Office Hours , please don't ask me for the LINE address . I added them via a QR code at their Office . The messages I sent were in English and also translated into Thai using Google translator .. that worked for me
  4. If it helps I was there to pick up a replacement Number plate which I lost on my travels "NOT" to renew my DL . different departments involved..... so you'll probably be OK .
  5. I did that last week only to be told there's a delay bcoz of the recent holidays etc and come back in another 20 days .. don't fancy another wasted round trip of 85 km just to be told it's been delayed again ,, the pleasures of Thai bureaucracy .
  6. My vehicle is registered in Chonburi province so going to Rayong is a No Go'er
  7. How long is a single re entry valid for ?
  8. Hi All ???? . I know this is a long shot but has anyone got the email address for this office ?.. Cheers ????
  9. Hi Folks ???? I am in the early stages of planning motorbike a road trip around Cambodia ,, A brief itinerary Is :- November 17th < 20th Surin for the Elephant festival (300+ Elephants wandering around Surin lol). Early 20th leave Surin ( approx 1hr drive) and cross at one of the small border crossing which allows motorbike to enter Cambodia , the Cambodian part of the trip is ongoing and I am still researching the sightseeing options etc en-route If anyone would like to join me please PM me Check out the google map link below This is a VERY rough route and it will change for sure https://goo.gl/maps/dS1AUFDnNPRrQuvd6 Mods please leave in the Pattaya forum as I am looking primarily to meet local people in person to see if we are on the same planet lol
  10. Not a write up as such but here's a short vid I did of part of the trip ,, I didn't have a problem with 99% of the journey but I did feel uneasy in some places ,
  11. I didn't have a problem finding food to eat... most places would cook me something fresh ,, it was the locals that couldn't eat during daylight hours , and they didn't make me feel awkward for asking , I picked ramadan because I thought there was less chance of conflict over a religious period I was advice only twice at military checkpoints not to stop in certain locations for my own safety
  12. Having completed a 16 day road trip on my motorbike around the rural roads of the southern provinces of Thailand (Not larger towns or cities) and predominantly small Muslim communities villages I can attest to the fact it was virtually impossible to find anywhere that sold beer let alone 7/11 's , I sure did miss my beer fix after a long hot day on the saddle
  13. Slightly off topic ,, are motorbike taxis readily available in the City and what are there rates ? say for a 4km journey ?
  14. I had a BP episode a few years back caused by shingles .. I did all the facial exercises religiously and after a week or so it started to improve and by the 5th week I was 99% back to normal . But I know from all the research I did the symptoms can last for years in a very small minority of people , But knowing it wasn't a stroke for sure made me happy is was only a BP episode .(lesser of the 2) evils
  15. yeah ! my hotel contacted me this morning luckily I managed to cancel the previous dates and re book on agoda and get their very last room ,,,,,,,,phew!!
  16. Why OH! Why is any one slightly right of Karl Marx automatically branded "Far right or racist " by the "Lame stream media and gutter press" ???. is no one allowed anymore to think outside of the woke propagandism agenda peddled and funded by the world globalist elites ???
  17. Whoops yes April ???? it's not my every day bike it's my bike I use for longer road trips ,, and I've not got anything planned until mid May ( the rocket festival Yasothon ) so it is not something that really concerns me
  18.

(5) when it is your turn hand all the paperwork to the lady at the desk (she will tell you to take a seat until called for again (6) approx 10 minute later she will call you back ,, she then hands you a new tax disc and you pay 125 baht for the replacement disc she then tells you to return in 20 days to pick up and pay for the replacement number plate .

  20. I did my online 90 day'er this morning sent my renewal at 07:04 for approval and got the approval email back at 08:26 . you can not complain about that service . But this was the first time I did not receive a reminder email ...
  21. (I.) Used the LINE APP to book and pay for the ticket (easy to use quick to received confirmation and a E Ticket) (2.) check in very quick and efficient friendly staff that speak good English, (3,) Boarding with a vehicle simple again and friendly staff . (4) a free bottle of water when showing your boarding ticket . (5.) VIP seat quite comfortable and easy access to all areas (6.) Bars open 17:30 hrs until 22:30 hrs large cans of beer 120b (7.) 12 inch Ham & mushroom pizza 350b Not bad quite tasty . (8.) Ferry promptly set sail at 17:00 hrs (9.) Outside upper deck bar became very windy once the sun set , but not a problem the bar eating area inside the boat has a nice atmosphere . (10) Coffee 's for sale is very nice and 60b a cup. (11.) you can order from a breakfast menu in the morning ( I never bothered coffee is enough for me lol) . (12.) Ferry started to disembark vehicle's at 09:00 Hrs (13.) quick and easy too driving off the ferry . How did I rate the experience 9/10 for the VIP seat 10/10 for staff friendliness and helpfulness . 7.5/10 for the food 7/10 for overall value for money would I use again ????? probably not but this is a personal opinion . and nothing to do with the ferry as a whole A short youtube video I did I didn't take much of the inside of the boat I do not think it is right to video people without their knowledge 0 Comments Sort by
