  1. A few Years back they laid the gravel already to allow to settle.
  2. I express an opinion sadly poor sods like you cant seems to understand it feel Thais owe me something nor do I owe them.
  3. Incorrect! This story is reference about Pattaya! I specifically reference to you a number of locations these locations are extremely heavy with traffic throughout the day due to one lane in each direction crossing the current railroad tracks which several times a day the train comes through traffic comes to a stop. These intersection during morning and evening hours come to a standstill cause drivers dont know or been taught proper rightvaway and a simple stop sign. There is no wetland from north to south along this road called Railroad bypass the train travels slightly on a upgrade above ground they have already laid dirt gravel for the so call bullet train it will run nect to the train currently. As it heads towards Soi Nerpludwan it goes under this Soi there is a bridge vehicle travel over the trains goes under! The major intersection I mentioned the same should be done to these intersection I noted. When the train comes the closure will be more frequent a major accident is going to happen with the volume of vehicles crossing. If you know the area travel on the bypass one can see easily done. Currently between these intersections they run 1-2 KM, because the train runs above ground in between there are zero way even bike to cross to the other side it forces every vehicles to travel KM out of their destination just to turn around. By digging a bit lower at these intersections as they have done at Nernpludwan building wider bridges adding additional bridges along the bypass so vehicles could turn around instead of sending everyone to one intersection causing massive bottlenecks. There is no medical facilities east of Pattaya, medical emergency vehicles all from the otherside West of Pattaya. Your quick sarcastic reference to wetland and so call submarines just shows your ignorance to the area, problem, and greater population on the Eastern side that must travel across these tracks daily adding the bullet train to above with the railroad will add to the nightmare.
  4. Thanks for info about revolut, sound a bit complicated I really dont need or want all those services. For years Wise never had a problem good rates worse 24 hours, or less as noted if amount was under USD 1000.00 within seconds. Ive written them and the normal general reply each time yet they are sending me email how they are working to cut fees, faster transfer, etc.. But each time transfers are taking longer and longer no longer as advertised past or present. My transfers are simple from my U.S. bank to my Bangkok Bank which I access with my ATM card.
  5. Poor use of words, these are overflowing it is overflowing from the inadequate drains in place no different in town too small so water just run down the roads toward the tracks then Sukhumvit.all one has to do heavy rain stand bottom of Khao Noi or Tala watch the garbage white water, if I was younger I get a canoe and take a wild ridethen thete are no real engineers all family nepotism keep the bandaid system is money in the bank.
  6. A tunnel like they are doing everywhere throughout Pattaya square or round slightly larger so one can drive a mini cooper? Bullet train has nothing to do with any delay it wont come for years and years. The runoff from East is do to zero infracture drainage to these so call reserves nothing but holes. As we know water runs down hill these drums just hold more water below surface so people dont see. Take Sukhumvit. From Thappasit to Pattaya Tai water runs downhill, north from the tunnel to Tai, runs downhill all in the middle a ditch at the end everything drains throught a 1 meter cement drain that drain goes down Tai all the way to beach road and WS, in the end drain at beach are too small along with water rushing down Thappaya to south end of WS. Reason road collaspe sinkholes everywhere. Instead of patch work which produce yearly budget so Mayor can skim off have a master plan with other surrounding district to solve the problem but of course that ends much of the brown envelopes. If they have the slightess clue bullet train need to start digging put the current tracks under ground at these location Choppawthi, Soi Siam, Khao Noi, Khao Talo, the bottle neck are already massive it id going to be even worse.
  7. The truth? These are basically illegals here doing work Thai dont want or brought in by Thais for lower wages. Reason coverup verbally is the decline in their own population It is even a race issue as an Expat I dont expect or want citizenship it isnt going to stop the discrimination I feel daily and Ive been here 2 decades and it isnt the duel pricing stuff. But I do feel if you been here like 10 years clean history done all ask in obtaining Your visa for whatever reason thrown a bone so one dont have to jump through hoops, TM30, TM47, IMM-O! Im not asking for much am I?🤔
  8. Thanks give it a look.
  9. Sorry on my phone unable on forum to locate any ongoing topic on Wise? Ive been using Wise for years happy until 6 months ago Ive read posting as to why? Gotten recent email things are faster fees are lower. Anyone know of another comparable to Wise on this board. Ive yet to find better rates and fees. Why Im asking instead of faster it is getting slower much slower! Im not doing anything different massive large amount for example in the past I transact 1500.00 USD. 24-36 hours tops if I request anything under 1000 USD, as noted within seconds. Last 6 months not so although they are noting before submission seconds after noted a different time 2-3 days. Today 900 USD noted within 4 seconds after noted not until the 4th Monday WTF. It isnt getting faster but much slower!
  10. 😂
  11. Know first and told first hand from the horses mouth. Yes first and foremost money in bank her mame not joint, a business a real business not a personal small minimart for example. They know documents forged are very common. Major red flag is she is here in Thailand you in U.S. that being said you are anchor there their concern legally regardless of thousand crossing the border illegally once she steps foot on U.S. soil and she ends up overstaying it is tough to remove her especially if you have resources to delay her departation. Although my situation this was a long time ago I was married to her explanation provided interviewing felt we were lying (then I was allowed to attend interview) told why arent you applying for a marriage even though I made it clear we arent going to live in U.S. If you use a law firm make sure it has a reputation with the Embasses of applicants returning. Im not a fan of Siam!
  12. Used bikes are dime a dozen! but they aren't all the same, many like Mityon don't have use bike lots, if you need to buy one buy from a friend why as noted from the responses I would never buy a bike from a Thai or a Thai shop unless I have the book in front of me, even prior I look at the service book to see if it was service regularly majority aren't! Many service book I view never serviced the ones that have been you noticed the ink and writing is all the same which the person filled in using the same pen all at once to update. You look at the miles and compare it to the tires! then if the bikes has all these fancy stuff like what a young boy or man would do then I pass cause the bike has been abused raced wheelies etc.. I rather buy new than from a Thai in general, give them a residential certificate month later I get the book etc...
  13. Don't worry what you can't control! If it dies for the West it will die everywhere. This is to me nothing more than a end of the world type post! Enjoy Enjoy, Mai pen Rain, if it ends it will affect everyone and every place including Thailand. Don't live beyond your means is what I told Brits when rates were like 70-1 many never listen when it dropped many left to go back home.🤔
  14. There are seems to be the route with Thailand leader who has funds to use this statue. Many of red bull charges were dropped using this, so recently Thaksin, the former Mayor of Pattaya who allowed the Condo to be build was charged with brides but his brother appointed next mayor while former Mayor served as a MP for the country. They stretch and stretch it out so when it came time ??? he left the country just in case, the same decision Statue of Limitation there is a pattern?😂
  15. Thai guy what a puss, the current mosquitoes bites on me are larger than those wounds. I tell these Thai Soi Dogs all the time even though this is thailand, no such thing as free puss😂
  16. Maybe I'm wrong written confusing? but I believe the girl is now 12 years old! noted he as been taking care of her for 10 years my which makes my opinion when he started they met she was 2, she isn't of legal age since he is talking still of school?
  17. Just my observation here! Anytime the Trump name comes responses are loaded with negatives. This Trump winning and making the Baht weaker strong for the dollars and elsewhere non of them got any bad to say or is it just me 😂
  18. Thanks I second your comment! I could never remember the Department in Bangkok, I just remember a road near Monument up that road a red brick looking building. I started the process with an agencies or Thai Lawyer had no clue then but early process i was thinking WTF? What I do remember the little contact I had with the center all the staff spoke really good English I mean really good and that was just rare to me since I had only started living here that was around 2005. What I do know the Center a group of ladies came to Pattaya one day while in the area they called my wife. Just thought it was part of the process but their visit was to asking why we using an agencies or lawyer. After reason, they told me that since I'm adopting a Thai and remaining in Thailand to rest him that they would do it for free. Thereafter we just provided them and went wherever they told us when they called. The process took less or close to a year the final day we were ask to go to Bangkok to the center. I remember lots of people majority I found out were adopting to take out of country. It was basically a final interview in front of a panel of around 8, at one point they told me to leave the room and they interview my wife and son he was 7 at that time. I remember having to provide financial docs to show I have funds to take care of him, I had to go back home and obtain a police report from the City I lived also legal papers I was divorced from my first wife, had to go into Bangkok to police HQ get a police report from Thai, had to go to U.S. Embassy to obtain a letter that I wasn't already married, there is more but that what I do remember. Good luck!
  19. And what is the saying? Let him who is without sin be the first to cast stone? or the saying about one living in a glass house. Please name a country or countries that is great immune from the problems of this world along with listing were you're from! Thanks
  20. What is faulty is your lack of understanding and any sense of having any humor! 😂
  21. Noticed although nothing but speculation at this point nothing from the Trump haters. Leaders just looking for an excuse to weaken the baht since some are unhappy with its strength when that happens slowly it swings always the case to do with Econ 101🤣
  22. Solution to every problem here is a fee!🤑
  23. No one is saying it isnt our definition of lazy isnt the same to Thais.
  24. They made it one way with very little alternative for motorist to get to point B, but to break the rule because they know it is the rule but no enforcement.
  25. You are talking Steam fish, Thai or Chinese style? I take the time songthaw or motorbike go all the way South to the very end as it turn there is a restaurant there each corner is the same restaurant. On the Way down south on left big outdoor place with a giant crab outside lots of tour buses more expensive in my opinion Not as good.
