Many people say "get it at the airport its easy". Well that may be so, but this is exactly the reason why I never do or advise others to do. It's not worth the worry, get it before at immigration.

That's worth knowing. May I ask what Schengen country issued this please. I havnt visited a Schengen country since the freedom of movement for family members ceased, this information would be good to know.

So many different responses some vaguely correct most wrong. No one knows when the water throwing will start however in some of the Pattaya bar soi's it will start as early as the 10th April. It will then continue until the big day in Pattaya which is always the 19th, I don't know where someone got the 20th from. There is also a small continuation in Bang Suary on the 20th and that's it.

As one of the major wind up merchants on here I am surprised you are still allowed to post. Tinder is just like Thai Friendly, a place for anyone of any age to find sex, that's it.

Yuk can't think of anything worse. The drug stinks and I can't wait until the Thais do a u turn and ban it again.

Yes as I say, the middle of the night.

You can run it on a non anroid smart tv via an android box or a firestick. I take my box back to the UK when I go every summer, hook it up to my older Sony non smart tv via the android box and perfect.

OK not my experience, thats why I only use Lazada.

Morning coffee? It's the middle of the night

Bin it and get Wizz TV 3200 baht a year for everything you will ever wish to watch. https://www.wizztv.co.uk/downloads

I think the manager and staff enjoyed their Uber Eats lunch on you.

As far as I know Shopee does not accept foreign credit cards whereas Lazada does.

It's a troll post, so obvious.

This is common policy in Thailand. My wife's Thai friend visited from Sweden. They drove around all afternoon trying to rent a motorbike in Pattaya. "Farang only" was the answer everywhere.

Apologies yes just checked. Republic of Ireland is not a Schengan country because of the existence of the Common Travel Area CTA agreement with the UK. Meaninh anyone with a UK visit visa can also use this to visit the Republic of Ireland.

I leave and return to Thailand to the same address with a Retirement extension/re entry permit once a year. I never do a new TM30, my last one was 2017. A guy down the gym did a 30 day extension of his visa exempt entry last month. His TM30 is 3 years old, no mention ofa new one.

I don't know why people keep saying this. If you get a new passport, go to immigration, fill out the form and have the extension stamps transferred to the new passport. As long as this is done, immigration have your new passport on record. You can then do the 90 day report online as normal. Jomtien immigration. I did my first report online last December and this week I did my 2nd. Reported online at 14.30 and approval was back 08 30 the next day.

Just go onto Lazada and buy a DTV box and an outdoor antenna. That's all you need, very basic set up

Well The Pattaya Expats website is wrong. There is no need to do a new TM30 after leaving and returning to the same address. I entered with a new passport, transferred the retirement stamps over to new passport and have since done 2 90 day reports online including the first one with a new passport. No mention of a new TM30 at any stage. A chap down the gym has just extended his 30 day visa exempt entry and again no mention of a new TM30. Yes this is Jomtien immigration.

Incorrect, you will be forced left not right at beach road. Most Thai's on bikes will of course ignore this.

You are lucky. I manage to get about 8 hours sleep but I wake up about 5 or 6 times in that period with a very dry throat. I normally manage to get back to sleep but I have not slept through now for years. I am 67 years old

Please note new location from March 18th. Trendy building no longer being used.

Exactly the same with me. Despite many posts by people who don't know, Jomtien is very efficient. For me stamps transferred over in October to new passport, no new TM30 required and 90 days completed online with new passport in December.

They are owned by Thai Watsadu. Just go there instead. One on the Suk towards Na Jomtien.

The issue is yours. You didn't say a different bike turned up then the one you expected. You just said a different bike turned up. As Bolt have many bikes I would expect a different bike to turn up. So rather than posting rude insulting replies you should look at the reason for my comment in the first place, that was your unclear first post.
