Assuming they get off at the airport, bus is a good option. Still would take a taxi or grab within Pattaya to the bus station

There are several grades of journalism on YT. I watch the good ones. Is that enough for you?

I can recommend Chulalongkorn Dental Hospital. Basically they have three departments: Urgent / small cases (basement in the building at the end of the internal road), private treatment (building to your left after entering the gate), student treatment (new tall building directly at the gate). I ever used the urgent case (short waiting time or appointment within one week) and student treatment (cheap, but you need time and patience)

How Long For First Non B
CLW replied to Siamesepiggster's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
When asked about the legal way, 3 from 3 agents recommended the embassy in KL. Maybe faster service and less stringent -
Recently watched a YT-video that said the current heatwaves have to do with El Nino and La Nina events. For this year it is also forecasted to have a stronger and longer lasting La Nina which could lead to heavier rainfall in rainy season as usual

How Long For First Non B
CLW replied to Siamesepiggster's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
With an agent / lawyer it's possible. But they will pay some extra fees to get it done. Not sure this will be cheaper than leaving the country and apply for temporary Non-B at embassy or consulate... I would let the employer sort out the details. Normally none of your business as employee -
British Tourist Warned Over Criticism of Thailand Online
CLW replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So what exactly did he say in his videos? -
GPX small motorcycles no ABS at all, newer Bajaj above 200 cc have ABS. I'm regularly going to SIA (Siam Inter Auction), as it is very near to my home. Motto is another one, but I have never tried it there. The motorcycles can be started but not driven. Here is some issue. Every Tom ,Dick and Harry starts the machine, revving up to the limit from a cold start. VERY bad for engine. And the staff there of course says nothing. So I tend to stay away from auctions now. Found a few good offers on FB marketplace that I am observing now. CF Moto NK250 and Bajaj 220

Okay, I read that you are existing customer of Pacific Cross already, so this might not affect you. But they are very thorough and picky during initial screening of documents and previous treatments / underlying diseases. So much, that after two months of underwriting process I cancelled it and changed to another provider. My insurance broker warned me about that before and unless their client want (or have to) save premiums, they are no longer recommending Pacific Cross because of these issues.

Favorite source/product for hamburger buns in Thailand?
CLW replied to TallGuyJohninBKK's topic in Western Food in Thailand
That's the good ones from Villa that I meant -
Hey guy, looking for a small CC motorbike (preferably with ABS) for commuting and short weekend trips. Budget not over 30.000 THB. Eying Honda CBR150, CB300F or Kawasaki Z250 SL. Honda CBR150 are plenty available however not my first choice because only 150cc and would need to change handlebar to touring style. Therefore CB300F or Kawasaki Z250 SL. I found this one: https://www.kaidee.com/product-368039498 Other choice would be Bajaj 160 or GPX Razer 220 at much lower prices below 30k, around 10 to 15k THB. I'm wondering if those bikes last long and about the part situation. Also, of course they don't have ABS.

CLW replied to TallGuyJohninBKK's topic in Western Food in Thailand
I consider the villa buns as emergency, like you said they are just slightly above average or that crap from Farmhouse -
Not wondering since I have seen that you can buy airline tickets or do hotel bookings now on installment. This must be the paramount of credit giving to people who actually can't afford it

Favorite source/product for hamburger buns in Thailand?
CLW replied to TallGuyJohninBKK's topic in Western Food in Thailand
One of my nearby Makro branches has it's own bakery and decent western bread, including burger buns. According to label not margarine and preservative, just butter, flour, yeast, milk and egg powder. Villa used to have brioche buns (frozen) but can't find them any longer. The burger buns at the bread section are okay, too. -
Where can I get tactical gear such as gas masks, vest and helmets? Just asking for a friend....

Thailand’s FDA warns against popular ready-to-drink product
CLW replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Bacillus cereus potentially lethal but FDA and press are not allowed to show clear picture of the product with full label and visible brand name due to defamation laws. Unbelievable -
Kudos to the driver of the silver Toyota CHR that drives through the accident scenes as nothing would have happened. In other civilized countries that would mean a hefty fine, if not suspended jail and for sure not having your drivers license for a long time. But here, business as usual.... Edit: Thairath TV even managed to get the dashcam footage of the silver Toyota CHR https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=295661972939995&__ft__=AZWZA4ieXpIs2RTvpdg8NDvvFsM54lEYzpdIHQgP8gXIwZRy9O7co4MudB4_Ipf7pDROtnomQbTTlWWg3GIJNwANmH9JM16hmTArRgus_zd5sxbW-2zEDOY9NgSamPAaRxB09jVGuqxCP0tKCI8zzTEKhXBWJpGpS5SRTsgF72BA8sJcQ_7GbfnlFUHcG279PR50gnYrgBTdRzlQWiiz63sE_O_KoSMR3ZOGAWAZsw-UyUJn4XrWqxEajIlQaJp1fqw5UmtBOAdJnU5-CmlOlKK_62qTVgUJ9JVBtDGyi8iyCPb-1mcOtW-kJBjXO5IYqT8u9Iyv5FHzaX61Ch_JOGm9hE4_SqkHfn-qDq_IrPY36uJPcXrZxLDzTHa8fgclruY478Qvq_A7q1q9UQaKeKGqp1cXwFuOs5dTbS6GBiMhIlMA2wcqrkoULWjArntiH5KX-esjjhce93zCB6xDe6ULIf8IwJprl1b7hS9Dn6DyalScHjj1NRz5xQECg5DRcxTAyCkJttQVxo9zfgcCBHx7OQxVg8FJ9PhXKz7oZKVMRCkH1bcz74YflkROsSVxNP3JAW-xrxmRxQZcSywh2o3DyaNkVYoKtdRc93pjw5B4PZi-G3v6mWYulliAqT7Sf8klFEMBEbtb-4vfhPG09ieiMprN0sy9LVzXlXjEI75q6s8Tf2wRP-eaF9Fs3jaK6GWYgzSmueeUMaHQi_68BdFOxe5n_I-TafsCVZNrmU7cPE-xPJGTkOHyT9ZSVETstmHzfXEJgYVFTj607KDvV9TWZjm53fJebW4G6FKl_rVDWMw5l0nPpze_FuuuBUviU8TSL3nHJIrr7-dIMLHp5DrpLFLfcJW9CgR4Zz6EU9ISpndSNBIRxOqCWf6s9tW8EMHJ4KQZkJufgPY8KGb2Iqf_ZrX32-FT7QMTedNpogguw4uxARtNuCs1x-UCFmWqlrq7hUExfHmIhvmHw48v-MHrN-mZE6CiT-j6PFDeCxX2cpapHk1QrF4hZnwXbw0DF4k4fJDCXUcm6ld2LoK1TcYCgPEJB2jOAIcY7ddn_n5X0Q&ref=external

Broken suitcase wheel may have caused Don Mueang moving walkway incident
CLW replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
From this picture it looks like a combination of factors has caused this accident. Maybe there were broken comb guards with some missing teeth that then caught a wheel of her luggage and jamming one moving metal step so wide off that her foot or leg was trapped in that gap. -
Job offer in the middle of nowhere - would you take it?

Korat, where. The city or province? That makes a huge difference -

CLW replied to CLW's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Oh really, what do you want to do or talk with village guys? Daydrinking and talking about the upcoming lottery numbers? The place is a ghost town, because everyone who can, left to Bangkok or another city to work and have higher standard of living. -

Nope, some other foreigner from abroad is coming. The last guy from Canada lasted three weeks and I doubt the new one will be any different
