Having an International drivers license makes it quite easy to obtain a Thai License.Got my car and motorbike in about 40 min. in Pattaya.I was also stopped about 2 weeks ago and ask for my passport witch I don't carry with meI, I have a picture of my front page and visa on my phone and they accepted that and I didn't have to take a drug test 555 on the side of the road like everyone else was having to do.

My rental contract is in english,wouldn't that work for you.

Hello , I have a Cambodian GF that is here on a tourist visa and has gotten her 30 day extension,she has to leave on the 25th,is there any other kind of long stay visa that she may apply for.She used to have a work permit but doesn't work anymore.Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks Craig

I live behind Big C Extra and it's as busy as always you enter through 3rd road maybe he's talking about Big C on Pattaya Thai and Sukhmavit.

Next to the 7/11 and theres a good one by the Family Mart, 555.I Rovers is good value but it has been hit and miss the last few times I've been there,The Golf Club in LK is good and also Kilkenny's next door.Enjoy.

a please wouldn't go amiss either.

PLEASE

Hi Guy's,I'm sure there's been a post about this but I'm traveling to Manila then a cab to Angles for Sonkhrun,it's my first trip there so can anyone tell me where the best place to change my money as I'll have to pay the cab. Thanks in advance.

Hello BM's I'm wondering if anyone can recomend a good Podiatrist in Pattaya.

Thanks in Advance

Try Pattaya Plaza Condotel,Google it and the have a pool.

Check out Cherry's or the VFW

I don't understand the responses thus far. Does anyone know the best spot to watch the jet ski scammers? Or is it not a daily event?

Across from Mikes Shopping mall

The Village,or soi 31 3rd road,and yes english speaking.

Yes in the begining i went,motor bike accident,broken ribs,emergancy room ekg,x rays, rapped up,talked with the Dr.and medicine,760 baht.

Went back a while later and there was a sign saying that there was new pricing for foriengers.

Thanks I will give it a try,being from Vegas,I've ate many buffets.

Move on or walk next time,or maybe 80 or 100 baht for a motor bike taxi ( each ) 15 baht is not out of line from Jomtien to Central.

Try Rolling live on soi 8 ,60 baht beer not,maybe 80 90 but the bands not bad they alternate to the oter bar on WS

I been stopped there 2 times as well, Thai 5 year motor bike licence, copy of the green book, insuance sticker up to date, legal scooter, all ok and I am sent on my way again.

They don't bust anybody without a valid reason but yes okay it's easy for them to walk 25 meter out of the police station and set up shop and if the rain comes they will bugger off into the polece station. Easy money for city hall.

The tourist can then brag to their frinds back home that they got stopped by the police and paid 200 baht and was sent on their marry way again, I guess some of them will find that quite cool/funny.

In how many countries are you allowed to continue after being busted without licence?

Why do you carry your green book on your bike,I was told to leave my book at home.

For gods sake man, stop complaining. It's not harassment, it's a routine check.

They probably thought you were Thai, they don't usually stop foreigners who wear helmets.. but they often stop and question/search Thai's.

Oh no, that's discrimination !!

I was stopped the other day on sai song and soi 16 by 2 volunteer police and 1 thai police I was wearing a helmet ,showed them my Thaai lic.they said thankyou and I was off.They were stopping every farang that came by it took me a min. to get on my way because there so many bikes stopped.

From my experance having beers on BR next to the police station I see the police only target farangs helmets or not and they write tickets all day long.

I was talking to one off the volunteers as they were stopping a lot of bikes but not stopping the young Thais with no helmets and I said whats up with that,he said there too young they don't stop the young ones. ???

Coop at Chic-n-Coop bar does a good one.Only 90 tickets.Also Dicey O Rileys.

The Edge buffet at the Hilton

Go in the morning and pick it back up at 3pm.

If your really serious about her,I would advise you to get her out of the bar,and just remember she make's about 20,000 baht a month has rent to pay has to send money for her child.I hate to be negitive but she will be BF by the guy's she likes. But good luck to you and don't do anything too serious,the only way you are going to know what she is doing is to be here full time,I am also a casino worker (retired) Las Vegas. Maybe you can find work somewhwere close,They just opened Japan,Maybe Cambodia ect.ect.Again good luck.

Im American and Im proud of that fact. I really dont care who YOU are and as long as you are decent to me we will get along and have my respect. But that being said, there are many people who open their a.s.s. traps here that spew hatred who would never see the time of day in my world. The OP posted an article an interesting one at that, and out spews hate from the masses.

There jealous that there not Americans.

If you plan on living here I'd say you have enough,Iv'e known other blokes that came at 48-50 and ran out ,so they had to go back and work.i don't know what the cost of living in OZ is but I konw it's a lot more than here and I believe you have to live in OZ for 2 years to get your pension.Lets not forget what this lifestyle does to ones health so think about it.
