    Also foreigners, many Asians. There are now many more bars and hotels/family hotels on the island compared to 10 years ago. I usually park at the Bali Hai pier automated parking, board the boat around 9AM, by 10 AM am on the beach then leave around 4PM to catch the 5PM boat. Parking is about 250 max 300 THB for the day, there are free parking spaces around but get filled up early and too many mobs.

    Sadly, in my own Country in EU the Officer would be 1) prosecuted for attempted murder, 2) arrested for excess of self defense and 3) asked to pay millions to the burglar.

    Guess his bosses did not like him to nap, that's quite a good hiding spot..

    Lego in Pattaya?

    NicoBKK replied to PJ71's topic in Pattaya

    Never seen real Lego in Mega Plaza, only Chinese fake. But many. For a couple of months during Covid Lego had a temporary sales area at T21 - but not a shop and did not see recently. There used to be a Lego shop at the Siam Outlet near Suvarnabhumi, also closed now. I usually buy online (Lazada, again watch out for fakes) or in CW/Central Rama 9 or Siam Paragon.

    She is Thai, it is Thai passport, no problems, it can be used until the last expiry day - she can't just stop over through customs in another Country

    Savannakhet far better, avoid Poipet! All should be fine with the rest of your plan

    all this mess just for some (additional) envelopes to exchange hands

    Yes, LagLag bala - I used to travel very often to Manila and was always worried about this scam. As they "found it" here the scam did not work? In Manila, after was found, the officers were asking money and after payment some of the victims revealed what happened or call their lawyers to expose it. Does not look the same case here, may be it was planted by other people to put the guy in troubles.

    not piggy banking, will be very expensive and perfectly legal choice to stay and support kid's education
  11. NicoBKK
    yes possible - one kid, one tutor.

    If it is the first time no problems. If someone has already history of visa and/or visa runs, SG is not the friendliest as far as I remember from this forum.

    "reciprocal visa-free scheme" this is why

    In the Philippines they shoot, plenty of guns on the roads

    Fully agree, my experience too, and I am in LOS since 2012

    They are listening too.. days ago I was discussing with a friend which is managing a surf's company in Bangkok. I did just enquire about his job, I do not surf and have no interest in such activity, never checked anything surf related - phone was in my hand. Following day, YouTube reels prompted me surf adv first time ever. Spooking.

    Obviously both rigorously with no helmets - and in front of police officers.

    The same is happening post covid to Gateway Ekkamai. Mostly of coffee shops are now closed, as well as Educational, Yoga, Toys, stalls. In my view as often happens here in LOS, landlords are trying cover the previous year's losses by doubling rents and tenants just give up. May be the value of the area will eventually justify a luxurious condo vs a relatively old mall and both malls will disappear in some years from now.

    Hypoxic blackout, is more common than one thought. Hyper ventilating can be a cause, but also trying to keep the breath while diving.

    Cialis used to be called the "weekend pill for married men". Works great and half pill might be very well enough for some fun time

    I think the unpaid bills are from foreigners which were transported to the hospital following an emergency e.g. accident, stroke.., not planning to go there for a disease. After life saving treatment the bill is asked and in some cases their funds or credit cards cannot sustain the expense.
