There’s plenty of Thais on the living on the streets too. And plenty of beggars in the uk fwiw.

Regarding zoning, There used to be zoning 12 stories limit height in wongamat but no longer.

Hello 

 

resurrecting this topic for question: Has anyone experience of bringing Humira into Thailand? I have a number of letters (gp, rheumatologist, and Thai doctor) to show it is a prescribed medication. I’ve contacted the airline. I can’t get through to the Thai embassy as I run out of minutes waiting in the phone queue. I know adamulib isn’t a restricted drug on Thai fda website.

Am I missing anything, do I need further permissions?

I will be on a tourist visa, august. Just concerned about getting in trouble at Bkk airport.

Hello

I'm having no luck searching for old posts on the subject of getting a builder to do some work, maybe old posts disappeared following the change to ASEAN? I'd have thought it well covered. Anyway, any tips (or links)? I want to put in a partition wall, redo kitchen and bathroom and build out on the balcony as much as I can get away with.... Start September probably. I'll ask around, condo management etc but good to get as much idea as possible.

7 years for an outdoor CCTV in Pattaya climate is quite reasonable

Should distinguish between general and narrow AI really. Narrow will take our jerbs. General, our lives!

Fascino pharmacy in Pattaya has a wide range of dermatology meds and good moisturizers, and good English.

Maybe Epsom salts as an alternative or mix with more expensive dead sea salts? I used table salt for sometime in baths and only realised it was a bad idea after some complications (also have psoriasis). Bit of a sidebar , but do you use any other (steroid)  medication? I used betnovate N (in Thailand) , but have access to better (Enstilar)  in UK.

Right... beer bars whit girls entertaining the guys. I bet no social distancing and no masks and its safer then a supermarket. Especially with girls being close to multiple guys during the day. Seems to me a high risk factor. If it is only a beer bar no girls then sure you might be right. 

The girls might not be that much of an issue at TJs....

I get the feeling it's not such a big deal in the los? It's the end of the world back in the UK.  Thinking of running back home to my Thailand pad for a while.  Are things (bars etc) still open?  We're heading for quarantine in uk I think. 

There's a word for this - shoplifting.

Hand yourself into the police immediately.

Heat + Pollution, land, sea & air.

I like the food there......

Mostly eating in the malls, lot of choice

And the beer snacks, 'pulutan' I think, they're good with a cold san mig.

I think the weekend is forecast to be hotter still. Add songkran drunkenness + water + 40+deg, seems dangerous.

Think I'll take it easy this year

Look to China for what anti-corruption drives usually mean in totally corrupt societies.

In fact most of the playbook seems similar over the recent past.

Ah well, it'll make a lovely water feature in a few years

i would think that implementing and enforcing parking restrictions, adding adequate off-road parking and a park & ride scheme would have been a little easier and quite effective. Not as glamorus or kick-back-tastic though. And the police would have to actually, well, police.

Anyone know what pub this is? I'm guessing it's a farang place yes?

No its a Thai place on 3rd rd near Nua. Looks a right dump from the outside.

There goes the TAT's projected revenue and GDP down by about 60%!!!

It's a shame that - even in the boom years - tourism is less than 10% of GDP, even with the flow-on income from tourists finding its way into the pockets of Thais who have no direct involvement with the horde.

Recorded, reported revenues maybe. Realistically, 15% easy. There's several million Thais in tourist related industry. -5% GDP will put Thailand into a solid recession. I believe rice only accounts for 8% of GDP, mostly a subsistence industry (FDI is the biggest ticket, also in trouble fwiw).

As far as I know it's not clear. The "crackdown" was to prevent people working here on a tourist visa, not paying tax, which some (mostly Russians I guess) do. If the immigration officer sees numerous back to back tourist visas, and is in a bad mood, it can be a problem.

3 back to back visa exempt entries (30days) is clearly limited now.

I just replaced the one for my Honda City at the new dealership near the Ambassador. I think it was 1800B. Got a free espresso and car wash. In and out in 45 minutes. Great service and nice, new dealership.

I (now) use one of the other new dealerships near the Ambassador and am delighted to finally be rid of the a*swipe dealers in Pattaya. They wont be seeing me again in this lifetime.

My place near the Ambassador also gives a free car wash with every visit (actually a lot better wash than the ones I pay 180B for in town). Good, quick and polite service but the coffee there is only instant.

Anyone know if these places (near Ambassador) handle (old) Toyotas?

Yes she's the best:

DOCTOR NAME/CENTER : DR. ANNA JARUWAN, DERMATOLOGY CENTER

Only 1 Mcds yes, but i doubt you'll find much on sukhumvit in that price range.

I have a cheap 1 for sale as i just use my car now, just emailed you.

How much wine & cheese do we get in the alotted time?

Regarding a double torist visa, has there been any clarification on the amount of time required to be outside the country between exiting and re-entering? 5 days? 7? More?

Thankyou for arranging this.

My question: The housing and condominium market is integral to the stability of Thai banks and the Thai economy, as it is in all economies globally. In this context would the department consider lowering the investment visa based (property value) requirements to, for example, 5m baht ? This would benefit foreign investors and Thais alike.
