  1. I went there this afternoon expecting to be the same as before. Hand the passport in with the last 90 Day attached. No, you need a copy of this and a copy of that. Why? This is (by my reckoning) my 66th 90 Day report. In all that time I have lived at the same address and on my 17th Visa extension. They have multiple copies of my passports and all the other information that they need. Surely they don't need another 5 sheets of paper, God knows how many trees get cut down just to fill Immigrations paper requirements?
  2. Two things, Tigglebitties will be packed out and Lewinski's will be busy but you should be able to get a seat.
  3. I'm pretty sure someone on overstay would ensure they didn't have to show their passport to anyone. Bus or train if they have to travel.
  4. Thailand may be unable to change other countries but even a long road starts with a first step.
  5. I thought you couldn't be deported to a country where you are not safe, and why don't they ask for political asylum?

    Salaeng

    I'll take a ride up there tomorrow and have a look.

    Salaeng

    I've asked this before but a long time ago. I want to turn my bike into a Salaeng (I think that's what it's called) like a food cart but with seats. You see them all the time at Bal Hi Pier. Does anybody have any idea where I can buy one? I already have a motorbike so I need the attachment. I know it will slow me down thru traffic but it's a lot more stable than 2 wheels and at 76 I'm not as stable as I used to be. I have just purchased a 3-wheel electric scooter for short distances but I need something for travelling from one end of Pattaya to the other. The businesses that used to sell them on Sukhumvit don't seem to exist any more.
  8. Does anybody think the new Central Meridian and u-turn places have made Theprasit Road's traffic run smoother and safer since it was built? I know I don't.
  9. Walk the pavement, don't make me laugh.
  10. Sitting in a bar in the early afternoon having a quiet drink as I do before I go home and cook dinner I noticed people coming in and buying a beer to take to the beach. I thought there was a 7/11 next door why come into a bar and pay their prices? Of course, it was 4 PM.
  11. When I first looked it came up as Out of Stock then changed to normal. I think I was too quick to come out of those sites while searching. Just what I wanted. Thank you.
  12. Does anybody know where to buy these? I found what I wanted on Lazada but was sent the wrong item. When I went back to Lazada every site I looked on at the right price was sold out. It will only be used to carry a battery to my condo as I can't plug my 3-wheeled scooter in the car park, Suggestions please.
  13. Would have been nice to read in what direction the one way would be.
  14. I didn't think of putting wide brim into search just golf hats. I found what I wanted in women's wide-brim hats. I have a small head 6 7/8ths in old money and none of the men's sizes were small enough.
  15. The Doctor at BPH told me to wear a hat when out (possible cataracts). So I looked at Decathlon and Lazada, but virtually all they have are baseball caps (which I already have). I want a hat with a brim all round. So where is the place to look for a selection of hats at a reasonable price?
  16. So how do my retired friends own cars? I don't own a car (hire one when needed) but I do own my motorbike and I'm on my fourth set of driving licences and have never worked here.
  17. Years ago it was a Thai restaurant.. Good food excellent prices. We used to eat there a couple of times a week. The same lady still owns the whole complex but I think nowadays she just leases the businesses out.
  18. It is, 3 years if you're rich and 15 years if you're poor.
  19. This reminds me of that highly educated politician who a few years ago said Korean barbeques caused the air pollution in Chaing Mai.

    Candied Peel

    I don't eat Bread and Butter pudding. If you like it carry on, but I won't. By the way, Lotus's (South Pattaya) didn't have any Candied Peel when I went yesterday.
  21. Every day while riding my motorbike in Pattaya I see loads of moving traffic violations. Ones which if you did in England you would get pulled over for (and probably breathalyzed). If I can see them every day how come the Thai Police can't?

    Candied Peel

    Thanks for that, I will be off to Lotus later.

    Candied Peel

    Where to buy in Pattaya. I've looked for it but can't seem to find it now. Does anybody know where? It's not for a Christmas Cake but a bread pudding. I can make it without but I would rather include it.
  24. I know what the tyre pressure should be . 29 Front, 33 Rear. It's just getting Thais to do it with a pressure gauge instead of using their judgment on what it feels like.
  25. I have asked this before but couldn't find it again , so. What's the best motorcycle shop in Pattaya to have your tyre pressure checked? Every time anyone inflates my tyres the pressure to me seems too hard. A friend checked my tyres the other day after seeing a mechanic inflate my front tyre. It was 60psi. I have difficulty doing it myself as my mobility is not what it was and getting that low is a problem. So I need a shop that checks tyre pressure with a gauge, not the traditional Thai way of squeezing the tyre.
