They have said the area is best avoided today: https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/998623-advice-to-avoid-chaeng-wattana-immigration-tomorrow-august-25th/

Best advice is to try and get there as early as possible, but that is the advice for most days!

In fact, if you are reading this you should already probably be there, or at least on your way.

Nice report. Thanks for sharing

Yes but it's not the UFC who have the rights time around. Showtime are the primary rights holder for the fight

The pay-per-view portion of Mayweather vs. McGregor is expected to get underway at 3am BST (7pm PT 9pm ET). Be good if some 'shop' was doing breakfast and showing the fight ...

Where abouts are you? I'm sure lots of bars will be showing the fight. I've seen places in Bangkok and down here in Hua Hin advertising it already.

The fight is being shown at a good time for us in Thailand. 

Not sure about Mayweather - McGregor but McGregor's previous UFC fights have bee shown on Fox Sports on Truevisions and on Thai Channel 8

I've posted about this before but there has been a massive improvement at Hua Hin immigration. The staff there are actually friendly now. The new office at BluPort is excellent

Q & A from the TAT about reports that some tourists were refused entry to Thailand

Popular Thailand based blogger Richard Barrow has spoken to TAT regarding the recent issue of some tourists being asked to show 20,000 baht in cash when entering Thailand.

It seems that reports of tourists being asked to show cash and being refused entry were due to Immigration carrying out a "random inspection of tourists’ means of living upon arrival at all ports of entry".

Richard believes that immigration are cracking down on people who are not genuine tourists and who may be working in Thailand illegally.

Nobody has got back to me. I'll follow up tomorrow.

I often think it would be tough living so close to the in-laws, and that goes for in any country, but especially in Thailand! 

I'd recommend Hua Hin as a good place to raise a family.
