You will not get an ED-visa, but your permission of stay will be changed from whatever to an ED-based permission of stay.

It is possible to do this in Thailand at any immigration, but as with non-immigrant 'B'-visa (for teaching-purposes) you will be redirected to a consulate/embassy abroad.

THB 15,000 is probably THB 1,900 extension-fee and THB 13,100 tip for the immigration-officer involved.

Does anyone know a Pattaya agency who can take care of a Chinese visa?

Thai Visa Express says: Do it yourself........easier and cheaper, so that's no option.

Take care that you buy a spare that fits!

A friend of me has a Triton and bought a spare.......they obviously gave him a Vigo spare which isn't similar to a Triton spare.

Wow, still no post after 33 minutes.......if it were 16 yo boys, the homophobes would have something to bash on again!!

IMHO, Malaysia isn't better nor worse......it's just different.

Found a new car wash place last week:

It's off Soi Khao Noi.

From Sukhumvit into Soi Khao Noi, pass the rail way tracks and turn left into a small Soi opposite the Bangkok Bank.

It's a nice, clean and spacious place and they really take good care.

A sedan inside and outside and underneath (basically everything except the engine) for only THB 120 and you'll get a card: 5 visits and you'll get the 6th visit free. (How can they live?)

Give them a chance!! They deserve it!

In the past many nations have complained about the safety in Pattaya.

The Germans, The Dutch, the French, the Australian, just name one..........

Most Russians come on group-tours and it is pretty common that hotels ask for guests' passports in order to make a copy.

If a group tour arrives, they take the passports and return them the next morning or later that day. No problem what so ever.

A work-permit in application is similar to actually having one.

It happened to me a few years back, when my employer was in the process of getting my WP and then I left.

I supposed that I was still safe with my valid non-B, but NO!!

At some point I was at overstay and luckily the immigration in Pattaya found out.

I had to pay my overstay the next day and got 5 days to start a new WP-application process.

Yes, that is what the re-entry permit is for.

Thanks!

I've heard of an amount of THB 800,000,000 for the whole project.............forget that!!

It will be at least double if not triple that amount.

I really hope that the committee in Bangkok who is supposed to evaluate and approve the plans will have more sense in them.

We planned to visit Pattaya this weekend to meet up with friends visiting from the UK.

This might explain why hotel prices seem so high, Hilton 13,600 Baht, Holiday Inn sold out, with others asking a lot more than I would normally expect to pay, or is this becoming the norm?

You name 2 hotels which offer a 1st class view on the fire-works; next weekend the King Hilton Deluxe will go for THB 7,900 per night. (agoda)

Apart from that, high-season is coming up, so that will increase the room-rates.

I'm carrying a non-B and it will expire on 23-12-2012.

On 22-12-2012 I'll arrive in Thailand from a short trip abroad.

This will give me another 90 days.....so far so good.

On 4-1-2013 I'll travel to China for one day.........can I keep my Permission to Stay alive with a re-entry permit?

Probably an overdose of M150 or similar stuff.

If so, the family would want to sue the M150 or similar manufacturer

If you take it to the bank it won't cost you anything.

A shop owner who would like to get some coins from the bank has to pay a service fee.

It doesn't matter what shop, most will be happy with your coins.

You could use a flat screen TV (LCD, LED or plasma) unless you would like to use both at the same time.

I don't understand the problem between the motorbike-taxi-driver and the passengers of a metered-taxi.

The driver of the metered-taxi is responsible for any damage caused by his taxi to 3rd parties. He should have taken care, that passengers can't just open a door without being sure that it is possible to do so.

OK, this is Thailand and everything works 180 degrees against the clock.

As said in another post: motorbikes aren't allowed to pass cars at any spot they like; motorbike should keep the utmost left of the road.

And the night usually starts around 5 p.m. and lasts until ........ let's say 10 p.m. or as long as there are enough visitors

As with all other rules and regulations in Thailand: They are there, just as in any other (developed) country.

Problem is enforcement, maintenance and safety-awareness.

Usually, a (small) disaster need to happen first before something will be done to prevent it in the future.

Anyway.

Around 5.30 p.m. I found the guts to join the slow moving cue through the flooded area, opposite Tesco South Pattaya, towards Sattahip.

Once passed the flooded area a turn left to the East and after a quiet drive on roads, covered with dirt, mud and sand, I arrived sound an safe at the Naklua entrance of motorway #7.

At 7 p.m. back home in Bang Saen and started my journey at 2.30 p.m from Jomtien complex.

But I don't worry......Thailand will be hub for tourists and as far as technology concerns........well!!

check out the Thai website:

at the bottom of the reward conditions page:

"All applicable taxes and surcharges are the responsibility of the Award ticket holder."

A work permit proves that you are a traceable "member" of the Thai work force.

Therefore a WP can serve as a prove of address and may enable participation in the Thai Social Security which includes unemployment benefits and healthcare (both not free!!!).

You even may build up some kind of pension.

You are also able to obtain a credit card from a Thai financial institute but often at ridiculous financial requirements.

A mortgage in your name is impossible, a car-loan may be possible.

Dis-advantage: you'll have to pay income-tax.

At the moment just outside Soi Kao Talo.

Direction Sattahip no coming through; flooded 500 meters passed Tesco, both ways.

Call 1175 and ask them to stop this service.

Also go through the menu on your phone and look for "services". If you find a service (e.g. MLIVE), deactivate it.

If you find any other service you didn't ask for, deactivated it also.

Isn't there a European consul in Pattaya?

This would replace the Danish consul, the Austrian Consul and "all" other (European) consuls that are active in the area.

Talking about cost-effective assistance.
