Greenwich is nicer. So is New Canaan.

You have to give CNN some credit because at least they are finally having some REAL unbiased segments about [Biden]. Finally! What is more amusing is the same six posters on here are still in some unknown foggy place.

I think Pattaya will go a full 30 days since it's at least 9 days already. How will some live under a bed that long?

I lived and worked in Japan for two years. If you read the post the Japanese man was in Thailand a long time. I bet he even spoke Thai and if he was here for sometime he probably should. "Thai taxi" is the easiest and most important Thai to learn when visiting here a lot It helps. You know what's a REAL crime? The price of a taxi in Tokyo bud! When a red eyed appearing to be drunk taxi driver is flagged down by you next time and he rolls the window down to speak with you please say " sayonara krub "!!

Exactly but it seems a lot of posters on here never do this. I mean never ever. I learned this on my second trip and never have problems with taxi drivers. Then there are the posters who will actually go to a sitting and waiting taxi at 2 am and expect the meter to be used!!

Yes I believe once in 8 years to one poster and this Japanese guy ( who got in cab with red eyed drunk cabbie) is unusual. Very unusual. The Japanese guy is a fool for even speaking into a half opened cabbies window! Thousands upon thousands just this week have taken taxi rides with no knifes out buddy! Exaggerating on this forum is full blown. Something happens once it's like it happened dozens of times to some posters/ readers. Something happens twice and folks like you come and text what you did above.

This is very unusual. Also if the cab pulls up and pulls down his window only why even bother to get in? In eight years since then has this happened to you?

Yes easy way to get the TM30 at Hua Hin but now they are just asking to see your room key! Mine was in my room last time but they took a post card I had from hotel and someone else there approved that. I had my hotel receipt and also a list I was on with other foreigners in the hotel ( these things the hotel gave me) but they didn't ask for anything else. I still don't think I have ever been given a copy of my TM30 in Thailand ever. Even though I mention it. I have never seen a copy posted on this forum that was not a copy that someone did on line only. For some reason a " screen shot" picture or a copy ( picture) of a TM30 from a hotel that is required by some IO offices has never been shown on this forum but constantly discussed. Anyone have a real hotel TM30 copy that can be posted?

Millions illegally coming into ANY country is bad. No matter how much you love MSN or CNN. I love how bleeding hearts always think the ones coming illegally are ALWAYS coming to do LEGAL things....

I wonder when he walked into the store with his huge full length arm tattoos if someone paid some extra attention to him on the cctv?

So the OP has lied to his family and then turned around and came on this forum and also lied? Does that make sense to you detective Gecko?

Your point is somewhat understandable by some. But it opens a Pandora's box in reality. But your comment on Rolex itself is pretty lame. Good for you. My only Rolex a Pepsi sub mariner from 1989 is worth 15k now. Purchased used 25 years ago for waaaaY LESS. "Perfectly good watch comment is truly priceless!"

Yes. I have never seen made in England / Great Britain 🇬🇧 on any clothes in my entire life.

Why not do the 60 day TR then extend 30 days in country. Then go somewhere else a week and come back to Thailand and do 30 days visa exempt and extend that 30 days? That's 5 months and one week length of time. Not sure why Laos and Cambodia seem to be popular places outside Thailand. The fares are so cheap to and from Malaysia and Vietnam now $40/50 USD each way or less. But for Vietnam you may need a visa which is easy to get but allow 10 days to get it just in case they need additional info. If you don't want to get a visa to travel then Singapore , Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea are options too. Seems it's not necessary for you to get a second 60 day tourist visa since you don't even plan to stay much over five months.

Good if you speak Russian there. I remember non Thais ( if not accompanied by a Thai) have to park their vehicles at a checkpoint and then take a truck with a group of Russians after paying fee. It's a cool little winding road with monkeys. Beach is smaller than Nang Rum so you feel the presence of the people ( 90 % Russian ) more. Easy to find the restaurants right there for food and drink. That's for Sai Khao

I did mean the distance. I guess I need to get my bike game on! Nice pics too and you're totally right about Sat at Nang Rum. If you have a bike no problem parking anywhere!

The entire forum would shut down.

Oh 21 days of Songkran should go down very well in popularity on this forum!!

I've said it before and will say it again. I prefer Bangkok on a quiet Soi and top floor. Nine years of peace so far.

Nang rum beach first came to mind but that is one heck of a bike ride! By bolt/grab would be fine. I guess they would let the taxi through checkpoint but there is a fee too. I fortunately Thais and Foreigners don't both pay 20 baht. Now Foreigners more thus year.

I guess you forgot the huge market that does not use Farcebook. It's growing. The market this op speaks of are old guys in Thailand that may want to sell junk to each other in Thailand. This forum would be perfect actually. Maybe even friendships can start from it. I know for sure my life is way better off by never using Facebook or Lazada as well. The farcebook market is chock full of low life scammers.

Yes the " suckers" market.

I and millions others have never had Facebook even for one day. The young ones are all dropping it too. Imagine being a teen or 20 something and your Mom , Grand Pa and Auntie all see your life in pics!? Yuck.

Paul rode right past my Massachusetts house that night ( I wasn't around) and theres a small stone monument describing the ride. Obama has a plaque a block away because he lived in a basement apartment for three years while at Harvard Law. Lazada kind of stinks 20 winters here and never ever even considered using it. I don't get habitual shoppers at all.

It's koh larn not Pattaya
