I had some of that fun last month or so too, wanted to transfer from Bank but it said I had to wait 2-3 days to do a 2nd transfer because the first one was too close to the 2nd I was trying to make.. (a day or two before, can't recall). So I thought I would use one of the other option which is the email transfer system we have back home, it said it would take up to 5 minutes.. so I was like.. fine. I do it, the money disappears from my account instantly (I click that I completed and then the next page tells me it will take up 3 days, so much for 5 minutes. I messaged support cause I "kind of" needed the money now.. not that it was a big issue but by the time they replied (about a day and a half later) the transfer was already done. That's all fine and dandy but, I was expecting 5 minutes when the normal transfers take 15 seconds. Couldn't get the money when i needed it (to transfer to help a friend that was in a bind)

I didn't see none of that no, a little walk in temperature check booth, looked like a metal scanner from airport and an actual xray machine to scan backpacks is all i encountered there. maybe different entrances have it but i didn't see nothing.

well, I went last Thursday, no tests, no form, no temp check. i did have to go through a little metal detector airport style thing and walk through another one and that was it. so much fuss over nothing.

yeah you'd think that but I had a Thai lady here over the weekend and was explaining what she needed to do with me on Monday (tell them it was accepted before and that I was getting annoyed with it) so i wrote passport number, put country, clicked the search thing, it auto filled (exactly the same as it was before) and next day, it was accepted.. the same information as was rejected 2 days before. gotta love consistency! to be honest, i'm thinking of getting on Malaysia trip for a few hours so i can get a new entry date, new TM6 (mine is falling apart) and whatnot. maybe next month!

yep and it was the same information as the first 3 times they declined me.. so 1 out of 5 on the new system I wrote before i went to immigration and pushed a bit and some old lady came out with a printout of my applications with some check marks on it, must have been her that declines/approve them.. quite a pain really, would be much simpler if the site told you why it was rejected. I feel like i'm annoying them when going there but my info hasn't changed in almost 10 years so, not sure what their problem is. so in a few days imma bring my laptop and we can do it in front of her (its auto filled anyways) and i'm sure it will "magically" get approved with the same info. just to get declined in 3 months again, of course.

well well, I was advised that my 90 days report would be soon, figured i'd test the system again (it worked for the first time 3 months ago) I went on, logged in, put my passport number and country and clicked the looking glass icon which autofilled all my stuff exactly as it was accepted before I submitted it as is and it was rejected. job well dumb

hey, could you confirm something for me? I have to go to CW in like 3 weeks for a sticker to be put in my passport, i have an appointment. however, they sent me this in the last email "All visitors at the immigration bureau (Chaeng Wattana Immigration office) are required to present proof of negative ATK Test (taken no more than 7 days) and pass through the thermo scanner for temperature checking before entering the building. This requirement will be effective until further notice. Please be informed that you will be required to prepare proof of your ATK test in order to enter Building B (Gate number 2) for your appointment. You will also be asked to fill in a health screening form (which would take approximately 3 minutes). Without proof of ATK test, you will not be allowed to enter the building, and your appointment will be automatically rejected." is this really being enforced? they sent me a picture of an ATK test with a date written on it and name signed.. it's kind of stupid as it doesn't prove anything but.. I don't want to be turned around for not having one, quite the trip for me

genuine question, do you have to be quite overweight to hit your knees? I'm 191cm tall and had an Aerox and I think I hit my knees on the sides like twice in the year I've had it but not while riding.

oh yeah, I mean I met like two of them in almost 10 years so it's not a common occurrence first was that walk in interaction then second the one from last weekend (Tinder match) I walk on the beach almost every day with my dog.. on weekends there are a lot of tourists (from BKK and outside of here) that come for the weekend and in all those years I was never, not a single time approached by a regular woman I've never ever been close to Pattaya but since I mostly keep to myself at home with my dogs, the chance of me meeting a ladyboy (that is not an obnoxious) out is basically 0%, so the only interactions I have had on the beach were gay men, bar girls and ladyboys being obnoxious.. the "Heyyyy" type.

this is on point. here's my little experience vs them, it adds nothing to answer the original post but.. idk, i'm bored and it might make someone laugh so, very recently met a one who was a tourist and within 100 meters of where I live.. I had nothing else to do so I said why not. the particular one I met was rather tall, not feminine face and had an obvious male voice and at least double D. It was awkward, not much English was spoken and my Thai is rubbish at best. if curious, no sex happened. it was offered (I think?).. I got touched inappropriately and all that, I expected that. first experience I had with ladyboy was like 8 years ago, while I was talking to lady friend at a little restaurant, one of her friend comes over.. very tall, looks like a man with long hair ladyboy. sit right in front of me, asks me whats my name, where i'm from and then 10 seconds later "do you want to F me?" apart from this, all of them have been very forward like that.. now don't get me wrong, if a woman does the same thing I get equally turned off, similarly with gay men. for the women, I instantly think they are "pro" and it's a massive turn off. for the gay men/LB (I get cat called by both) then I know they are basically men and yeah. anyways, my opinion on it might be rough from meeting the wrong types of LB. nothing against them but I don't go out of my way to interact with them (or avoid them) but if you meet the right kind, very feminine or if none of the above bothers you then I'd say go ahead, who cares what your friends would say anyways. like, really.

this is a fact of life nowadays, almost ANY woman that looks after herself a little bit up to probably mid 40s (if she looks good) and even if fat can have a lot of guys in her inbox nonstop. I have a young lady that lives across from me that is I think 22 years old and she has over 600 matches on Tinder and they are constantly messaging her so she can spend all nights every night just replying to them (if she wanted to) but from what I was shown she exchanged messages with about 5% of them (30 or so) and seems to choose one once in a while to have some fun with. I get some women sometimes asking me why I am single and I tell them because I didn't find anyone I wanted to be with yet.. they always tell me that it should be easy for me because blablabla but what they fail to understand is that men don't have 600 matches on Tinder fighting for my attention 24 hours a day. In fact if I get 20 matches then I will have replies from maybe 2 or 3 and it goes nowhere because those 2-3 women also have several hundreds of guys to talk to. sometimes I ask those women who tell me it's "very easy" to find someone if they like Justin Bieber (or use an older popular person if they are older) and if they say yes.. I ask them "why don't you date him then?" answers vary but it's always "he has millions of women after him, he don't care about me!" well, exactly! you don't need 1 million men or women after you to get to that point that you are messed up... if I had 50 women fighting for my attention that would probably damage my ego and I'd likely be extremely picky, because I can afford to.. now imagine 10-20x that starting from probably age 14 and all their life, nonstop nowadays.

I used to have True internet several years ago, I don't remember it being great but I'm sure it 's better nowadays When I went back home and came back I took 3BB and never looked back, I used to have 100/10 package maybe 7-8 years ago and then they upgraded me for no extra charge to 300/20 (can't remember the exact numbers) and then later to 1000/300 About two years ago I saw there was a promotion to have 3BB and DTAC together (which I already had) and it was 1000/300 and 20GB of Mobile data for like 750 baht per month. I took that, they forced me on a year payment because apparently foreigners can't have monthly (don't know if it's really true but whatever) and paid about 8000 baht with a yearly discount per year. The only thing I have to complain about is that they forced a new SIM card and phone number on me even tho I already had a DTAC account so now since I am used to the old number I keep 2 SIM in phone, one for incoming calls (mostly deliveries) and the other one for Data. I remember about 2-3 times in the last 7-8 years that 3BB went down for extended periods of time (more than say 15 minutes)

40 years old, no drinking, no bars, no massages or any paying for sexy times 3500 rent (4x5 meters simple room) including water and electric, 50 meters from the beach 750 baht gigabit fiber home internet and 20GB mobile (combined) 150 baht per day for food = 4500 60 baht for 4x 20L delivered jugs of drinking water 1900 baht per year for visa extension (160 per month) 1000 baht per month for grain free food for dogs all in, simple life but about 10,000 a month my internet is paid yearly, not monthly with a discount so it's not technically in my "monthly" budget but it would be if they'd let me pay per month so I include it. I "need" nothing else.. it's about 10% of my income and I just save the rest. so yes, I still think I can live on less than 50k a month and I've been doing it for almost 10 years now and in 10 years, the only thing that went up for me is the rent, the landlady jacked up the price because of "electric" by 500 baht twice by now.

well oh well! 3 months before my visa needs renewed it finally worked! I had a look at the previous rejected ones and it was exactly the same information on the PDFs I think either they really "fixed" something or the old lady knew I would be there the next day if she rejected my application again and didn't want to deal with me. (I don't blame her, lol) technically because I went and did this early, I have to do it again on the 9th of October (just before renewal) but if everything works well then i just have to put my passport number and country and it would be autofilled. we'll see!
