Only one class. Just make sure you buy your ticket at Window No. 1. Bus leaves from Platform 1.
Onboard toilets are often non-functional and usually reek.
Almost nothing fits in the overhead bins on the buses. A near-empty backpack can slip in.
It's only 2 hours to Pats and only 108 baht.
Does that mean if you lots of people pee in the toilet then it will just build up and overflow? ????????

If taking the bus from BKK (Ekkamai) to Pattaya, do they have different classes of busses like VIP and 1st class, or are all the classes the same? Do all the busses have public toilets? If you are only travelling with a small suitcase the same size as a carry on suitcase that you place on the overhead compartment of an airplane, can that same sized small suitcase be carried on the bus and placed on the busses overhead compartment? Is there enough space for this?

I've read many years ago people recommend Mr. T Taxi Service but then I've also read some people say they are no good anymore. Has anyone used them recently and are they good? How much do they charge from BKK lower Sukhumvit to Pattaya? Does Mr. T Taxi have a website? Are there any other recommended companies, what type of car do they use and what do they charge? Thanks

That type of work is still not allowed.
Sunrise Tacos - Why are Filipinos & Indians allowed to work as waiters/waitresses? This is at one of the big shopping centres in BKK. Surely they'd get busted by immigration easily working in a busy shopping centre?

"I'm not on overstay right now, I'm just considering my options." - Have you considered the other option how comfy you will feel if immigration catches you and hauls you off to spend some beautiful nights at the immigration detention centre in a nice comfy cell? Don't drop the soap in the shower lol

"This is is bad experience because I never carry anything except passport, wallet and a phone. No clothes and cleaning up stuffs." - Since you have a wallet I assume you have money in that wallet. You can buy some cheap clothes, toothbrush & toothpaste while you stay in a hotel for the night.

The African nation was Libya. Thailand's now number one, although from the way I read it, that's more due to the fact Libya has been undergoing so much turmoil for years, they haven't produced any statistics.
From memory, the last published figures from those two winners: Deaths per 100,000 head of population - Libya was 67 and Thailand 'only' 35.
Ah, Thailand made it to number 1 finally! lol

Is Thailand still ranked as the 2nd most deaths on the road in the world after some African nation like it was a few years ago?

"A MEDICAL student and a 10-year-old girl are among the latest victims of Thailand’s notorious roads after their cars crashed head-on in Si Sa Ket province yesterday morning." - What the hell is a 10 year old doing driving a car in the first place?

Grab is definitely much better than the crap taxis here.
That being said, the drivers do have a bad habit of asking the users to cancel so they don't get penalized by cancelling themselves.
Why do they want people to cancel in the first place?

"Grab Thailand called him to issue an apology and was offered Bt70 of discount codes for five uses. He was also asked to remove the post."

Sidagra 4x100mg Bt 180 Foodland soi 5 pharmacy.
I'm surprised that Foodland at Sukhumvit Soi 5 is the cheapest at 180 baht. Would've thought they'd be more expensive than the other cheap pharmacies, and also since that area is the Arab area where everything is overpriced. Do they sell Apcalis and Kamagra Jelly too and at what price?

No matter what reason they mention.
Then why are there a lot of retired old folks, others on marriage visas and people on Elite visas staying here more than 180 days annually? I'm sure there are over 10,000 of them that do. Oh, forgot to mention all those who are here working on work permits. There's a number of foreigners in my condo that stay here nearly 360 days a year who are on work permits.

Dress in a clean newish looking tshirt and jeans, not in a homeless backpacker look that Khaosan is famous for lol

I never carry that much cash. I bought travelers checks just in case Thai Immigration ever asked to see cash. Where would I spend 20K Baht on in cash - where I could not use plastic, instead?
I never paid condo-rent in cash. But when staying in a series of sea-view condos close to the ocean over years, I never paid close to that in condo-rent. I rarely ate there, and when I was in the condo, I was either asleep or staring at a screen - so what would more rooms/space be useful for - dinner parties?
I would rather have cash then traveler's cheques. Never heard of anyone still using them for maybe 15 years already. Not to mention traveler's cheques are expensive, they rip you off in fees.
20k cash can get used up pretty quickly, or even last up to 2 months even with using credit card for many purchases. There's so many places that only take cash or will require a minimum purchase of 300 or 500 baht to use a credit card.

Probably aimed at the Chinese - buy one meal, get the other free.
I've seen some deals posted on signs in some shops in BKK that are in Chinese for the Chinese. Why only give the Chinese special deals and not allow the other nationalities to get promo deals? Totally stupid...

26 minutes ago, TSF said:Is this 20,000THB cash a requirement for every foreigner entering Thailand, or just tourists? In my own case I'm on annual retirement extensions with multi-re-entry visas, and have been for the past decade. I probably make 3-5 entries each year - some by land and some by air - and have never once been asked about money. But could I be pulled up over this 20K requirement, and denied entry?
Often I just have 5K or 10K Baht cash in my wallet but I always carry a Thai bank book with me that shows a balance in excess of a mill THB. I always figured if I was ever asked I'd show my Thai bank book which will prove that I have sufficient money to satisfy requirements. But reading this thread perhaps not.
EVERYBODY entering Thailand should be carrying a minimum of 20k cash on them in person. Is it really soooo much money for someone not to be able to carry 20k cash on them into Thailand??? Are people worried about getting robbed at the airport or on the streets of BKK not to carry enough cash to make sure immigration can't reject you entering the country?

In and out of thailand often and you do not know about the 20K cash requirement... many like to claim they have tons of money in banks...but can't show 20K baht, USD 620....(not small money)..
Exactly, 20k isn't big money to carry like the OP claims. 20k isn't even enough money for one month's rent of a condo.

did u specifically ask that they let you use an atm to show the cash and other funds? if not do not expect them to connect dots
Why should an immigration officer waste 20 mins of their escorting one person to the ATM to withdraw 20k in cash when there are huge lines of people waiting to clear immigration? Make the process for the thousands of others waiting even longer because one person doesn't have the required cash? People should have the required 20k cash on them, as is clearly stated on an Embassy/Consulate site under "Tourist Visa" when someone is looking for the application form and also the required documents to submit for a tourist visa.

The OP posted a poster of Foodland having a "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" until the end of the month. Does that mean any item bought at Foodland you get that same 2nd item for free?

Happy to report that MEA finally got their shit together and entered the 21st Century. I've been using their iOS app to pay my bill for the past few months - and they even offer a payment channel that accepts international credit cards.
Does the MEA app charge extra for using international credit cards?

Would the staff allow people to carry on a small overhead luggage suitcase that is the same size as the airplane carry on one? Or would they make you put it under the bus luggage space? I want to take a laptop in the carry on suitcase but don't want it to go under the bus space.
Is that run by the same bus company from the airport?
