You can catch those mini so call buses at specific locations on Sukhumvit. Myself I use to start at the gas station just off Pattaya Klang also know Pattaya Tai near had station which has a bBurger King inside. These Vans makes lots of stops they travel on Sukhumvit 3, stop for locals through Chon Buri to Bang Na then to Ekamai. I've found after all these years to take the bus now 131 baht North Pattaya, tell driver I want off at Udon Suk first station into Sukhumvit, then I walk up to BTS, rest of way so not to have to sit in traffic to Ekamai. I find it also much safer.

British Couple's Thailand Dream Becomes Legal Nightmare
thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If as noted unless there is smoking gun the old couple pay or use influence to get police 15 to set out on the attacker that's on the locals. Of course getting the full details from Thai media is slim and none.🤣 -
British Couple's Thailand Dream Becomes Legal Nightmare
thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In spite of so many good things about Thailand and living here this is a prime example of stupidity in general of Thais the lawyers who would take such a case and the legal system They are caught on CCTV, admit to guilt cause the problem their own anguish them sues file charges yet the system would take on such a case. Case should have been laugh at by lawyers thrown out long ago. I really hope the two Thai f--kers meet a violent surprise soon. If the court has any dignity in justice rule properly when they do continue to sock it to these two until they are destroyed -

Thailand Faces Trade Challenges Amid Trump's Tariff Strategy
thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Exactly, when Trump was in office 2016, Thailand was targeted because of its trade surplus well below the trillion now red flagged as they called they did nothing but talk. I have many family in China with factories in conversation since the real large fight is with China many factories exporting to U.S. tariff targeted made deals with Thai factories thus shipping China tariff products to Thailand repackage as produced then shipped to U.S. to get around the tariffs. Whether sounded by Trump or not these and all tariff conflicts with countries is to meet at a reasonable point! In spite of Trump big mouth and stuff stance show boating stance this is all he wants for America. All one has to do is go into any market selling imported goods know fairless isn't even close on many products. -

A greater stance by the people got to happen for what is 99.9% sure to happen. These leaders lead for themselves, greed, lies and not as they want it to appear to the people. Time to stand up and be counted. -
Why do they never stop at Zebra Crossings?
thailand49 replied to Robert_Smith's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Simple! Education and enforcement 24/7, The driver education you look at the booklet their videos it is nothing more than getting them to pass in simplist terms same with all their test question. The question should have critical think but of course that isn't taught or neuture in Thailand. The driving test go in circles no pedestrian crosswalk the whole test doesn't test the intent or decision making of the driver only can a road type test can. Then even with the best education the major factor in all is enforcement that is a built in education. No country has enough police force the factor of doubt is the major enforcement create enough, cost, time, to make driver think twice. Today, in the States major cities who went defunding police I notice more and more driver breaking the law. My last visit there are more delivery services like Grab, these scooter drivers are now like drivers here in Thailand, stop signs mean nothing. -
From my experience I never but my brother did but years back I showed him to use Wise. Before the switch I map out the negatives particularly the basic rate he was getting by the time it got into his BB account by using Wise how much more baht he would get in doing so he would switch back his SS to his regular bank. For myself I was having my SS put into my Charles Schwab Checking from there since they reimbursed me for ATM use but I wasn't getting the highest exchange rate. Using Wise gave me the top rate so high even paying fee I was still ahead. Using Wise I just listed My CC checking by wire to my BB withdraw from BB ATM.

thailand49 replied to Banana7's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I found from my experience Jomtien to be otherwise. The TM 30 I have I have predate COVID, 2022 I got a new Passport they transfered the TM30 to my new Passport. A year ago confusion as to whether a new one needed to be obtained I returned March 5th, visited Immigration prepared if necessary to file new told by two IO, desk not necessary since I had a Imm-o, returning to same address. Due to age of my TM30, they offer to replace it if I wanted but I decline due to time of waiting. -

thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
"prompted reflection" No surprise here you got to know the problem to do something about it, expert have told them for years what need to be done but nothing to move the needle forward. Everything is about tourist, appearances as a world class destination while leaders do little.🤣 -

Insurance company only want to pay 50% of the claim
thailand49 replied to advancebooking's topic in Insurance in Thailand
My experience with insurance here. The policy does it indicate it is to be taken to dealer or an independent. If independent the insurance company normally dictates to their shop they do business with. As far as I know you can't decide on your own or get estimates. -
