My American friend sent a package   to his brother in 2 months ago  EMS tracking says it got to Swampypoom Airport   never reached USA    the local post office says its due to America not excepting any mail from Thailand due to Covid (zombies)...why would USA not except mail from Thailand  when there have been no Covid (zombies) reported in Thailand for months ?????

As far as I'm aware the "residence certificate" should be acceptable  ( don't offer the work permit)

you could try any of the shops displaying this sign for a second opinion.

If you go yourself  you have to go to the DLT in Chonburi town   not the one near to the Regents School

Yes  and if you kill a Soi dog (that may have killed your chicken) all hell breaks loose.

The nice thing about the View Talays is they were sold as empty shells--not even a finished floor.  Buyers got to start with a blank canvas and do whatever they wanted.

Yes but one  bad thing about that is the years of "renovation" work  until all units are fitted out ...constant sound of "berk with angle grinder"  gets quite annoying after a while ????

Why aren't they using  the  huge foreign currency reserves ?

"Regulation" mostly  all ignored   except for the closing days  yesterday (Monday)  there where only a few deckchairs set out  I imagine they just don't have the customers to even bother setting up during the week now.

I promise you, no operators are checking out owners of parked cars. That's imo nonsense. I live here and have done so for years and very often walk along the beach. 

And I promise you that if you park  a car in front of their "concession"  they or their "minions" will more often than not rush up and ask how many chairs you want  a few times they have "shooed" me away saying  the space is for their customers only...I don't argue as I don't want to come back to flat tyres etc.

I live here and have done so for years and very often try to park along the beach.  ( Jomtien beach  not Pattaya beach )

I have seen quite a few with the screws pulled out of the plastic frame and the door falling off.

They work perfectly well  as long as  you don't misuse/abuse the door 

(teenage temper tantrums or drunk couples rowing)

One thing to look out for is the hinges becoming rusty  that will pull the screws out  especially the bottom hinge   best to go with stainless steel hinges from the start on any door likely to get wet at all.

My girlfriend tried to find some lobsters to eat, but all proper restaurants are gone or only have dead lobsters

Not my recommendation but if you had gone to the far south end of Jomtien Beach  there are 2 seafood restaurants that do a "roaring trade" at the weekends.

There where quite a lot of Tourist at Jomtien beach over the weekend

Pattaya was quiet for a Sunday  I think most people went to Jomtien or further south ?

At the newly opened just before the WuFlu crisis struck  Central festival food court  they might have realised the prices where silly  (200 baht for a plate of pad Thai)

1.  On what date am I able to take out any/all of the 400,000 from the bank

I have always waited until I got the final year long stamp in my passport before letting the balance go bellow 400,000 baht

2. Should I be able to do the 90 day reporting online

Yes if its working..often not working.

3. Up to how many days before and how many days after the 19th

I believe seven days after  but only if you go in person  not online.  and 14 days before.

In the above video why do they call it a "furry" boat ?

China didn’t want to s**t on its doorstep.

I really wouldn't be surprised if it was "engineered" (or by accident)

to be less lethal to Asians.

Yes they dont like you parking on the road by their plot without renting a chair from them...on Tuesday there was an older Thai man offering mats for rent near to a deck chair operator...she went and gave him an earfull...he didnt say anything just moved a few more meters away and carried on.

I saw beer being discretely delivered and drunk.

Jomtien has lots of chair/umbrellas setup  food and drink available

jetski,banana boats and  rubber ring rentals,hawkers and massage...just like the "good old days"
