If you have decent Wi-Fi, Amazon fire stick and wizztv.co.uk subscription, 3000b for a year. Best for sports, Danny’s Sports bar (for example), uses Wizz. Decent support too, think they are based out of Pattaya too.- 90 day report Online.
Same *exact* thing is currently happening with my 90 day - same information entered for 2 years now being rejected. Sigh…the last thing I want to do is have to go down tot the Jomtien immigration office but I suspect its either that or a trip to the agent.- Looking to buy a condo in Pattaya

Grand Avenue fits the bill and there are a few in your price range on my Pattaya condo.com. Be diligent with your research though, there is some dodgy sh*te going on with the developer from what I overhear in the hallways… Good place to live, though - great location, decent facilities and quiet at night, generally.- Thai baht could depreciate further against US dollar, says K-Research
I hear you about food/restaurant sticker shock - it’s real and more so returning for a visit from Thailand. But, at the risk of straying a bit off topic, you are wrong about consumer confidence, it is in fact surging: ”The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment for the US soared to 78.8 in January 2024, the highest since July 2021, compared to 69.7 in December and forecasts of 70, preliminary estimates showed. Consumer views were supported by confidence that inflation has turned a corner and strengthening income expectations...” ”Taking January and December together, consumer sentiment has climbed a cumulative 29%, the largest two-month increase since 1991 as a recession ended. For the second straight month, all five index components rose, with a 27% surge in the short-run outlook for business conditions and a 14% gain in current personal finances. source: University of Michigan” https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/consumer-confidence#:~:text=January of 2024.-,Consumer Confidence in the United States increased to 78.80 points,macro models and analysts expectations.- Court clears Pita of iTV shares charges

Wizz? Just signed up a few weeks ago - not too bad so far, decent support when needed and a pretty excellent array of channels. I use a Fire Stick and have had some buffering issues (200 Mbps is my Wifi speed, might be a tad slow) and thus avoid FHD channels but otherwise I am happy. Fair refund policy if it comes to that, as well. https://www.wizztv.co.uk/- What's the going rate to use an agent without using money in the bank method
I paid ~16000 in Pattaya - O-A visa extension fee, 2-3k for “no money” bank processing and I think one other small fee. Money well spent. - Last will and testament and inheritance laws with assets in Thailand and abroad?
