Or has permanent residency.

Joe I thought PR was still a Yellow Book? Am I wrong on this?

Reason is my work colleague has PR with yellow book and Pink ID--should he have something else?

The juristic manager phoned city hall on Monday morning. Pool was open Monday afternoon.

City Hall have no authority to countermand CCSA regulations (only the Governor of Chonburi province, and then only in certain things), so as per the CCSA orders posted above, all pools (except home pools) are to be closed until further notice. this includes communal Condo and all Housing estates (gated or not).

So if your Estate is getting away with it, then good luck, but it is in violation.

They fall into the same category as my pool which is in a gated estate.

Sorry you are wrong.. see below article from government today.

_____________________________________________________________________________

At a press conference in Bangkok today held by the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration, the English language spokesman for the CCSA, Mr. Natapanu Nopakun, specifically said that condo and public pools would remain closed.

The statement, which can be found at about 11 minutes and 40 seconds below, states that at this time the Public Health Ministry and CCSA will keep pools closed.

The reasoning given is due to health related concerns and inability to limit number of people at condominium pools.

Chonburi area officials with the Chonburi Communicable Disease Committee have previously addressed pools also, stating that they were concerned people would use them, including condo pools, as a gathering location to socialize, drink and eat around pools versus pure exercise. Under the current Emergency Decree laws to control the potential spread of the Covid-19 Coronavirus, gatherings for the purpose of socializing, especially over drinks, is forbidden.

As a result at this time the CCSA confirmed today that pools will be not be approved to be lifted in the next phase, Sunday May 17th, and will stay closed at least until the end of May and the third phase, expected to start in June, based on the severity of the Covid-19 Coronavirus situation in Thailand.

I use my Blue House book

As you are in a Blue House Book, you are obviously a Thai citizen, so why do you need a certificate of residency??

Already added. My communal pool opened on Monday.

Maybe it is, but Condo pools are not included yet. And probably not until the next stage in late may/early June.

As with a retirement extension, the same documents must be provided each year.

There are only a couple of extra documents and photo's required for marriage extensions as opposed to retirement extensions, not the lot's of paperwork you suggest.

Disagree with you on this. At Jomtien for example the paperwork (and the questions) are quite extensive for marriage extensions, plus the house visit.

Of coarse if you have your all paperwork/docs in order when applying, then both marriage and retirement processes go fairly smoothly, but your couple of extra documents (and the time it takes to get them together in a package for the IO) is far from the truth. 

Of coarse I am talking about doing the extensions yourself and not using an agent.

I have a Thai friend from Pattaya who attended a funeral about 60 km outside Khon Kaen. He was there about 8 days and had to have a Covid test before he was allowed to leave the province. He arrived back in Pattaya last Wednesday and was told he had to self isolate/quarantine  at home for 14 days.  He is not sure if they check up on him, although he says they can drive by and see that his car has not moved to confirm he is still at home.

 

Maybe he was just unlucky and picked a bad entry checkpoint.....who knows.

Rubbish...He is not telling you the truth.????

There are no entry points into Pattaya that check where you come from, and certainly don't tell you to isolate.

Last Wednesday the Sukhumvit checkpoints had already been dismantled (and they were only for checking people going into Central Pattaya).

Of course I have been one of those guys, 

as the millions of others. 

Thats why the waitresses are told to do certain things when customers come into the restaurant.

because the vast majority are with hookers and not with their wives.

any other questions Einstein?

Utter rubbish.

If I go into a restaurant with somebody (whether wife or girlfriend), that means we are together and obviously want sit/eat together. You really think a waitress immediately thinks 'oh thats a hooker' they can't sit together, unless of coarse he produces their marriage licence.

@Ron jeremy you really need to rethink your Einstein theories.

Don't be sorry..it's your dick.

Dermatologist will probably freeze it (liquid nitro) or a special laser.  Will heal within a few days.

Over 30 years here with buying/selling properties (just my wife and myself). A few condos, but mainly land and houses.

Always made a profit on selling, plus factor in the rental (if they were rented out). So if you are careful when and where you buy, you should always come out well ahead.

But one caveat...if you do not have capital resources, and have to sell in bad times (such as now), then of coarse you'll lose money, as then buyers have the advantage.

All the big stores  (Watsadu, Homepro, Baan and Beyond etc) have large paint departments with many many brochures with colour charts...free to take home.

Probably never, the days of coming to Thailand and thinking you've landed in paradise are long over, I guess. The reputation lingered on, but Covid 19 put a brutal stop to those lingering dreams. You can't restart something that no longer exists.

There has been so much written on pattaya springing back to life.

But your last sentence  """You can't restart something that no longer exists""" sums up the future very well. (in my humble opinion of coarse).

Note - you should primer those welds

Oy mate give me credit. Not my work. .just saw in another thread, to give you an idea of the foil.

Also you may think about installing reflective foil (comes in rolls) directly on the underside of the roof. This is usually done when a house is being built, but can be done later, although it won't be leak proof, but will definitely cut down on heat.

Pic attached.

After building more than 12 individual houses in Thailand over the years, this is the extent of my wisdom for you. .Good luck on whichever way you lean.

I will look into the whirly bird option.

The whirlybird set comes in different sizes 1m. 1.20m 1.50m. The whirlybird is mounted on a fibreglass/poly/PVC sheet and then part of this sheet actually replaces the existing tiles or roof panels, and sealed with silcone. No motors and if good stainless steel, no rust forever. 

The shop you buy from will include the installation in the price, and its easy and fast.

Re Foam:

If they still use the same method, which is a guy spraying with a huge flexible hose connected to the truck/pump outside, it is extremely messy, dirty and can be toxic until it fully dries.

Plus your 1-1.5m of space is maybe not enough room, especially since you have ceilings already installed.

I would therefore strongly suggest you just go with the extra insulation on top of the ceiling.

Also not sure why you can't install a whirlybird..they are easy to install on the existing roof tiles.

Well, it looks like it's.....Bottoms UP!

 

Am I the only one who fondly recalls many hours down these stairs?

 

Easy to get downstairs.

But some mornings, around 5 AM, just before the sun rose, climbing the stairs back to the street was a true challenge.

 

Ah, the good olde days.

I look back with such deep nostalgia and remembrances of a youth well spent.

 

Yes, to all you drinkers out there...

Cheers and above all....

Bottoms UP!

 

 

 

Wow that name brings back memories.  long long time ago.

Last I knew in February Woody and Bob still own it.  BTW what is a Crumblie?

 

 

Yes they still do, but unfortunately both have health problems, and also the Patpong lease is nearing the end, so what the future holds.. who knows. 

Opening does not mean bars, entertainment places or places where crowds usually gather. These type of places will be a long way down the road... sad for a lot of us, but better safe than sorry.

Great post. .just lucky there wasn't a gay snowman around!!
