  1. For anyone living in the Pattaya area. I have TMN cable TV which before had Fox Sports 1,2 and 3. Just found out I can now get F1 on Astro Supersport 5, so all good for me.
  2. They get hauled away into hospital and you are not allowed to go with them. This happened to a daughter (Thai/English mix) of a friend of mine who live here. His daughter is 3 years old. It was lucky a relation was in the same hospital and could be with her. A nightmare scenario, dont take the risk.
  3. Lol Siam Puru. Its Siamburis a copy of the UK supermarket name Sainsburys. Similar logo aa well
  4. Lol what a load of nonsense. There is no rule, the hotel are making it up. Officially all you have to do is check in with them once a day and you stay in the hotel to sleep.
  5. Wise after the event comes to mind. Just use Wise to transfer money to Thailand, why use it any other way.
  6. Lol where have you been? Transferwise (Wise) is the cheapest way to transfer small to medium amounts of money at a great exchange rate.
  7. Without looking through 5 pages of comments. Pay pal has been used extensively by the bars in Pattaya whe they were open for live streaming. People could buy a girl or all the girlsa drink remotely using Paypal. I wonder if this has anything to do with the decision.
  8. I agree the Thailand Pass is a poor system and should have been introduced gradually for various embassys a bit by bit and ironing out issues on the way, keeping the COE until the Thailand Pass was perfected. I disagree with you about the COE, it was easy to understand and having used it twice very quick.
  9. You are obviously doing something that the system does not like. Try a gmail e mail address, check your SPAM folder. Use a different browser. Although the system isnt perfect if you have made miltiple applications you would have got one back ok.
  10. Lets be realistic and forget the volunteer visa. First of all make sure stay in Pattaya. Secondly you can either enter either visa exempt and visit an agent and pay about 25k for a combined Non O and retirement extension or get a Non O outside the country and get a retirement extension for 13K. Just wonder up Soi Bukeau and visit an agent.
  11. In a gogo on Walking Street Pattaya. Together 10 years married 7 years, 36 years age difference and I wouldnt change her for anything. First words "Hello Darling"
  12. Thank you Joe, thats very clear. I hope you are keeping well
  13. I know if you are on a retirement extension in Jomtien you normally do not need a TM30 after returning to Thailand and residing at the same address. Last year I returned home via ASQ and registered a TM30 as soon as I could. I am wondering was this really necesary? I have just returned home again via ASQ, should I do a new TM30?@ubonjoe
  14. Ignore the people telling you that you have to book the flight before applying for the visa from the UK. All you need to do is do an online booking and stop before the payment stage where it shows your itinerary. Take a screenshot on your phone and submit that. 100's of people have done it and this is the advice on the Facebook help groups. I assure yoi it works as long as you show flight numbers.
  15. No its not she has provided this service to people overseas for months now. She is well known for doing this on the Facebook help groups. Personal friend of mine on Facebook.
  16. Yes she has done 100's. She is well known on the Facebook help groups for this service.
  17. Lol you clearly have a multiple re entry permit. Its not a visa, nor is your yearly extension
  18. Dont worry if it comes back, which I dont think it will. Dr Donna in Bangkok (Thai approved) will issue one by email.
  19. 60% of 1629 people. The survey is laughable. its only 0.0023 % of the thai population.
  20. Again another uninformed answer from isolated Australia. Not many planes flying in Australia, but in the rest of the world there are many many options to fly to Thailand. Most arlines flying in and out of Thailand. BA no, EVA no and Thai limited but there are Emirates, Qatar, Etihad, KLM, Lufthansa, Finnair, Swiss, Austrian, Turkish to name a few. All operating normal schedules.
  21. Pathetic statement. Australia has really c**ked up the way that covid has been handled. You cant lockdown forever. As soon as you open then you will get Covid in the country, its as simple as that. If Australia wishes to be locked down forever thats their choice. All a zero Covid policy has done is to delay the inevitable and put Australia months even years behind everyone else. They will come to regret this policy, mark my words.
  22. This is not needed from the UK for someone with an existing re entry permit only new Non O applications based on Retirement,although I am aware that some embassy's are requiring it for all.
