  1. Did you try the Bangkok Bank branch across the road from Thepprasit Night Market? Also just around that corner they have a small/micro branch in Lotus/South Pattaya on Sukhumvit.
  2. Had it 2 weeks ago here in Pattaya......woke up 4am from the sound of my teeth chattering. Went straight to the hospital and diagnosed with Dengue. Dr. said good thing I got there right away. Had an IV, and a few hrs. later sent me home with a "ton" of meds. Had the back pain, headaches, bone soreness and everything else for about a day or so but not long. Went back 3 days later and all I still had was slight upper chest soreness but had x-rays and told I was good to go. Not as bad as last time I had it in Korat in 2014. Young Dr. misdiagnosed me saying I had an oncoming cold!! And 2 days later my 2 friends carried me back into the hospital. Had it so bad I was in there for 4.5 days!
  3. Well 2 weeks ago I went in to get a 30 day extension. When I asked for the TM30, my Residence lady at the front desk said "Dont worry, its in the system just go". So I went and all was in order except guess what? Yes, they said the TM30 wasn't in the system. They asked for the phone number here and they called and after the talk she said come back tomorrow because now your landlord was just fined 1,600b for not reporting me. Immigration lady said they will pay in the morning and for me to come straight to her in the afternoon. They must have paid it as I walked in straight to her and I was gone in 5 minutes. My advice...do not hire anybody......just take a phone/contact number with you of the landlord and they should take care of it......and I am sure your landlord won't like paying the 1,600b.....555555.
  4. Exactly!!.....he should have picked up and left as soon as the other 2 were arrested. I suspect Mr. Patten or good old dad gave up his location in a cooperation agreement/less sentence.
  5. Correct....but a few minutes later. My brother a cop in Canada just said if he had complained of the chest pains at home, but was able to communicate that well enough to an officer, they would call/notify the ambulance right away to transport him and as soon as he was wheeled into that hospital, his first stop would be the blood-withdrawal room. But for here......we all know, that don't happen as TIT !!
  6. I'm sure with a leader like they have, he will not forget......and you have to go home someday......just saying!!
  7. They may be made to participate once they arrive back home.
  8. Exactly correct. Went yesterday for my 30-day extension and had asked for a copy of my TM30 from my residence/hotel which they said "don't worry, no need". IO said I had everything in order, only problem was, my residence didn't enter the TM30. Going back today meeting the landlord there as he will pay their 1,600b fine for non-reporting and getting my extension .
  9. 3am likely as final word/approval comes from Thailand, not a Canada office, and so with the time difference, it was put through then.
  10. Single entry 60-day is what I got. Will extend for 30 more days to match my 90 day stay. As for travel plans, there wasn't a real question as I remember. One of the 10-12 things I had to show was the flight ticket of course, and I just showed proof from my apartment here where I rent year-round. Again, I contacted them a few times but they didn't contact me directly about anything which made me happy as I knew it was all going okay like they said.
  11. Yes but it was the father(51), not the child (25) that threw the hissy fit here!!
  12. Love how they hide the faces in the still pic but the video clearly shows his face LOL. I wonder if they will show his Rocky movies in jail? LOL!!!!
  13. "A danger to society"....be on the lookout / and he walks among us....yet they blur the face....what a place! (but again TIT!)
  14. Good for her!!! Accept the apology + don't drop the charges. If victims drop the charges, it would be open season on the disabled / others as these pea-brained idiots would just think a couple wais and they can walk away. Enjoy jail buddy!
  15. No need to submit actual passports now. E-Visa is mailed to you/print it off/done!
  16. Well I had no problems with Ottawa and got my E-Visa about 2 weeks ago and depart in 1.5 weeks). They had said to make sure you applied 2 months before and it could take up to 20 working days to get approved. It was over the 20 days, about 24 maybe, but got it. They also reminded me with the application that they would contact me directly if any problems arose and so with no word from them, meant it was likely going alright / no discrepancies The Ottawa office always got back to me through fakebook DM's a day or 2 after inquiring about anything. No real problems.
  17. Hands up if you agree....Odds are he was looking at the phone!!!! Most idiot accidents like this are caused by the good old phone but they have to make up some BS excuse to save face/never take responsibility as we all know.....TIT!!!
  18. I live right around that corner next to Laguna 2 since about 2017 and haven't seen any kind of club like that open near there other than S Club. Walk by it many times a day so I guess it's gone..
  19. Not sure this is what you want but it's where I go with all my Thai friends for Isaan Music.....and never dull! https://www.facebook.com/SinlapinEsarn/
  20. It's about time......although it will still not change anything as TIT !!!
  21. Many possibilities tossed around above of which I agree....but I think "looking at the phone" could plausibly be thrown into the mix would you not agree?
  22. If you want Jomtien, well my apartment is a 5 min walk behind Rompho Market with pool view for 4,000b/month. It's a year lease but I am sure they would do a few months same as they need tenants. https://www.city1residence.com/
  23. Thanks for that, feel a bit better but not counting my chickens yet 5555. Haven't been there in a while / card expired Feb 2021 / home branch in Korat and was going to get a new card next month in Pattaya and was feeling the same as you before entering 555. At least I have my book and 3-4 empty pages so maybe I will make out okay too....but of course we'll see as TIT!!!
  24. True, but if they make it anonymous, it will likely work. In Taiwan it works and has for more than 15 years. From dripping AC units to motorcycles spewing excessive exhaust or sidewalk driving, there are all kinds of narc lines. You phone it in and receive a code. You call back in 15 days, enter your code and it tells if they investigated and if they were fined. If so, they tell you your 40% (or higher not sure) share of the fine and you enter your bank account # to direct deposit it, finished!! While living there up until last year, I never heard of any problems and seems to work if run properly. But here in Thailand, well, good luck with that as TIT!!!
