As pointing is normally used for identifying suspects, I think he is trying to tell us that God did it.

That's some nice pointing indeed. I give that guy a 9.5 out of 10. Had to minus half a point as his other hand was pointing down making it a bit confusing for viewers.

Sure, buy a large house with a pool ... what could possibly go wrong?

Wanting to buy a large house with a pool, let alone buying in Pattaya or even Thailand just shows that the OP has no idea about investment or where to invest. Thailand ain't the place bro!

"We all know Mobi" - I don't...Never heard of him.

That's a stunning looking car. I might just get me one of those lol

5-7 night stay? Try looking at HOTELS as none of those are HOTELS but condos for long stay tenants. If you really love the location of The Base then I suggest you look at Apex Hotel which is just next door. You can even get an American buffet breakfast for only 150 baht ????

Visacha Bucha day Saturday 18 - no alcohol.

Just to be clear, is that from 12:01am on Saturday till 11:59pm Saturday? So Friday night partiers can't go out then because all will be closed? Or will the clubs like 808, Flexx etc. be open?

"Do you know anyone who got AIDS and died in Thailand?" - Nope, I don't.

Did you not bother reading the comments about U-Tapao above?

I did, after replying to BritTim's post and scrolling down further. But anyway, it wasn't BritTim that commented about U-Tapao was it?

Suvarnabhumi for the 1st time ever asked a number of questions a few weeks ago when I arrived with a visa. 1st commented if it was a new passport which I said yes (old one expired). 2nd commented "tourist visa" and I said yes again. Then said wow you stay here very long based on based on the 60 days I put on the departure card. Then asked where I will fly to next and I told him. Then he finally stamped me in. Never ever been questioned before in the past or had any comments.

Indications are positive as far as Pattaya is concerned, but there is limited data.

There have been some negative reports about Krabi.

Would be interesting to know about Chiang Rai and Samui, as well as Hat Yai.

Surat Thani would almost never be used by posters here, as it only seems to have flights from China.

They have a Pattaya International airport where you can enter Thailand from?

Most reports from the past ~ 6 weeks for Div. 1/CW seem to indicate that a TM30 must be on file for you before you can:

 

file a TM47 in person

file a 90-day report online

complete any extension of stay renewal (ret or mar)

 

Care to explain what is a TM47? Never heard of that form before in my life.

If I had to do it all again, yes I would still consider Thailand as a retirement destination and yes, I would still get health insurance. Why would now be any different to the past??? Or are you referring to the over 50's compulsory health insurance thing? Doesn't affect me because firstly I'm nearly 20 years away from that age and secondly I have health insurance.

It would probably depend on the immigration officer's mood, just like everything else. For the people over 50's that don't have health insurance, they better get their act together and get it asap. They have about 45 days to do it.

I wouldn't touch them. Any Thai suggestions?

What are the good reputable sites to buy/sell Bitcoin in Thailand? Which one is the cheapest & which one gives you the best options to withdraw if you are a seller?

Are there any Bitcoin ATMs located in BKK or Pattaya? If so, what are their spread they charge percentage wise to buy & sell Bitcoins?

I am so glad of the advanced notice. Should I make a booking or just turn up? 

Absolutely you should! Make sure to wear your best & most expensive tuxedo. If you don't have one, maybe one of the Indian suit shops will rent you one for the day.

Russians & ukranians using and making a mess of his toilet ruined his business? lol.....

What about Vitamins? I think only Fish oil can be kept in the fridge and a small amount of others.

The question is how we, as tenants can know if a landlord owns 5 or more properties? Is there some law in place that they must disclose it if a tenant asks? What about agents who manage more than 5 properties which would be all real estate agents?

Dont the home banks also make a charge for foreign ATM withdrawals ?

Sure, $2.50 in my case. Way less than 2.5% of the amount taken out. Way less than $25 per $1k or $50 per $2k!

You could try going into the bank and tell them that your card wouldn't work.

You should be able to withdraw cash using the card in the bank supported by your passport.

Not sure if the same limit applies though.

Not a smart move. Counter withdrawals cost you a set fee from your home bank, usually 2.5%. Withdraw $1k and you get whacked with $25!!
