  1. Very helpful! Im in that category my 2016 HP 19inch is on the last leg. Recently had to replace the hard drive here in Pattaya. While it was being worked on I stepped into Tukcom to look, Im kind of set on a Dell, 14 inch price was like 14,000 another upgrade I forget 12-16 gig also more memory for another thousand baht? This Feb back in States I went to Best buy nothing too pricey some stores dont stock have to order then you need to buy a membership for like 250USD crazy. I figure with not having to pay sales tax 9% here I could spend up to 20,000 baht with favorable exchange rate I could get a better printer too. At the airport going through security TSA girl joked pops whstvyou got there a T.V.
  2. Grab driver dont go to any special driving school in Thailand, it is the same school same as Bolt.
  3. Up from Foodland same side just pass a dental office called Dental Idea? You see one or two mini buses parked outside or a white Van stripes on bottom you see them running up and down Sukhumvit to Bangkok. I believe the office or offices looks liked two opened at times with a few people waiting. Too late now but depends on when going I might be able to go by tomorrow and double check. I remember my brother mention 200-250 baht. It travel down Sukhumvit-Chon Buri- Bangkok, I last use them near end of Covid to Ekamai it was 130 baht. They do stop to pickup, dropoff even wait a few minutes during the trip said it took 2.5 hour.
  4. That article was very helpful thanks.
  5. Several times a year especially when it rains these come out by hundreds, thousands. At the wife restaurant build around undeveloped land they are all over the floor crawling everywhere. Several times I swept turn around and there they are again. I bug spray around restaurant building area slow them down. Their outer skin seems hard I step on them and pop they die end of week the floor is stained with their markings I power wash the floors next day they come marching back. What are they what is the solution?
  6. At that location, or near this is a Van service that actually takes you to the DMK, My brother took it last year for a Air Asia flight to China.
  7. I had a buddy who used an agent in Pattaya, live in Bangkok too, when he moved to Khon K, register a new TM30, he was knock back. Wife had to look for a new agent up at new location.
  8. Your agent doesnt have any pull outside of Jomtien reason she told you go back. Pull means he/she paid off IO for your extension at Jomtien. Using agent get a new one where ever you plan to go.🤑
  9. Resign! He was kicked out replaced! She was elected! Hand pick more like it. In a year one mis-step she be sneaking off the dead of the night like her aunt in exile. As the world of politics turn in Thailand
  10. Elected or selected? As soon as she slips those old dogs who run the country will find something she did wrong. Better plan an escape route like Auntie.
  11. It has been going on for months, but yet they are still at square one! Prior it was going on and after it will be going on we all know why.
  12. In and Out! What kind of government is this called! And these are growm men running this crazy place.
  13. What does being a cop have to do with anything. Here is your problem the objective is to pass the test get the answer they want not what ypu think or how it should be. To pass get it out of your head you arent that important no one is messing with you. You think because you were a cop your answer is the right one look around figure out where you are you are a nobody don't control anything you dont hold the cards any longer they are holding your balls! Their test question has very little to do with the proper way to drive. Ive got 35 years with the Transportation Dept so I know a thing or two about driving. You should have gotten an Int permit show it to them and a written test would not have been required.
  14. You know how things words here! It took lots of work to get the marriage sure I know the tons of useless repeats to go through each year but personally I would wait a year or two!
  15. Im not complaining just commenting and curious as to why? Freedom? Im Chinese American still have some family in Canton.
  16. Ive read that a number of months back even about Pattaya but yet they keep doung everything possible to bring them in. I remember after that article the hotel association complaining not enough business? Here is the problem my comment isnt about tourist! Tourist dont buy homes, send their kids to school, go to Tops and but thousands of baht of groceries nor tourist go Home Pro to buy furniture, appliances, or open bank accounts! I know Triads been here a long time and how they go about things to stay but young families as if they are escaping China, relocating permenent too young to retired all within working age. So where is all the money coming are they working.
  17. How is it possible! Slow got to repost a thread that started 2021 with 87 pages! Rules and things that never work the way it suppose? I read somewhere early this year they upgraded the system linked 90 days with TM30, last year I left the country return report date reset when time I logged on and TM47, day later it got accepted. This year 2024, left in Feb, returned time to report went online it was rejected first time with explanation when return first time must do in person.
  18. In my twenty years here Ive never seen so many and they arent tourist. In Pattaya, talking the darkside I run into lots of families that are living here purchased homes using agents to set up companies, kids go to schools my granddaughter attends that receive heavy funds from Chinese government, I see them at Tops super market, Home Pro, majority are much too young to be retired so wherecare funds coming. A few weeks ago I needed a new ATM card. The waiting area was packed with Chinese couples Thai agents opening bank accounts.
  19. This goes on day in day out! But as soon as it hits media they are are outrage! Thais in general live in the darkness of denial especially the males who show how small their brains are one wrong word they are breathing, walking time bombs!
  20. Real Americans what is that? Free Market dont these companies have a free choice to be friends who think alike and have a right to support or not. I know guys living in Pattaya who dont like a group of bar owners and on nights out boycott these bars.
  21. They are all design with a safety feature. Man or not we all panic my fully loader and I mean fully loaded Hemi engine back home worse car I have ever purchased I was cleaning the inside as I started to start the engine as I turned the key nothing happened but the doors automatically locked I flipped the handle nothing I panic even started to hypervent then I gather myself push the button opposite from locking show red door open. Lucky no one was around I thought I wet myself
  22. I dont believe there is a car on the market that is design with a battery being charge. They all are done manually!
