How does Bali compare to Pattaya or Phuket
NicoBKK replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Become far too expensive compared to Thailand. Couple of retired friends with family married with Indonesians are selling their properties in Bali and moving to Phuket. -
Sometimes they did ask.. and if so when only my wife (Asian) and kids (Asian looking) were in the taxi, the army guard waves them though, when I -farang- was also in the car.. 20THB

Elevating National Science Museum to World-Class Status
NicoBKK replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Agreed, it's a good set of Museums, with one ticket (cheap and the same for Thai and foreigners) one can visit three or four Museums. I did notice the issue with maintenance, the Science one is very interactive but some experiences are closed or not operative so I am happy of budget will allow technical improvements. Agree it is far and not many tourists will venture there - also many Thais do not even know it's existence - may be shuttle buses can better connect with the city while BTS can possibly connect the Technopolis Complex in future -

Visa for Filippina partner
NicoBKK replied to joethejobber's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Many Pinoys which I know in Thailand are here on tourist visa and do extensions plus the visa runs - no longer sustainable but in the meantime can see how things works with you and about possible marriage - if ED visa prove to be difficult to get. -
Bringing wife back
NicoBKK replied to Bangkok Alex's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
she can be his dependant or can get visa as the tutor of one of the kids if studying in Thailand - the school will need to prepare some paperwork. Suggest him to get in touch with an Agency example Ernst and Young they will take care about her. I think she will need to contact Thai embassy in ID to get non-O visa then transformed into resident visa. Agency will tell him. -
Russian Man Returns Home After Living at the Phuket Airport for 14 Days
NicoBKK replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
may be he did book with Aeroflot as it was cheaper.. lesson learnt, go Emirates next time -
Secret Beach, Koh Raham. Might suffer from low tide sometimes, then dive in from the nearby restaurant area - even if not a guest can still go there and jump in the water to swim around corals.

It's not BTS - but yes there is a train now, Red Line from the new train station connected to MRT. Need a bit of walk to terminal and 's not well indicated from Airport, might need to ask once there

The future of masking -- will it ever end?
NicoBKK replied to ultramarine's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Depends where but I see still 90% of Thai wearing masks expecially indoor and 5% foreigners. Even in parks when walking alone, 50% of Thai wear the mask. In my company (Thai) masks are still mandatory if not sitting at own's desk -
Company can do it if they agree to absorb the cost - they will outsource the service to a Lawyer's firm e.g. Ernst and Young, Deloitte.. These firms will take care of the transfer and you will not have to go to the Immigration in person - I did it last year. If your employer is not covering it watch out as these firms are not cheap might be between 12k to 20k so better you do it yourself

Tragic discovery: Father finds son’s body in septic tank
NicoBKK replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
I suspect the monster uncle did "annoy" the boy and when he threatened to tell the father he did kill him.
