Wah wah wah....no fair. Typically Thailand. Whine & cry about the truth and constructive criticism instead of addressing the problem. Get yo ???? together and solve this forever problem. Been a problem long as I can remember...and I can remember LONG.

If ya gonna go all Grand Theft Auto...ya GRAB Taxi⁉️⁉️ ????

Vegetarian spicy stir-fried basil with brown rice. Found in the freezer section and available year-round at most 7-11s. I keep a couple in my freezer at all times.

Amusing Thailand. Fake plates get 5 years. Murder a Thai girl, hack her up and pack her up and dump in river...get 8 years. Sounds about right.

Thai driving license will suffice. Foreign license will not. That was my experience anyway with ThaiSmile. Other PP will be fine.

Don't get high on your own supply❗????

Have called 800 772 1213 twice in the past month. First time, after listening to a couple mins of automated babble and finally stating my SS#, name and DOB to the voice response system I said "representative" and was connected to a person after a few mins on hold. The second time going through the same rigmarole followed by 35 mins on hold before someone answered. Just like you, have tried calling the 410 number with the same BS unsatisfactory and unacceptable result...'all agents are busy. please call back another time'...then disconnected. Typical government runaround and ????????. U-2 good luck. Imagine we will both be processed in their inept and excruciatingly slow time, but yes, extremely frustrating.

So I initiated another call to the National SS Office in Baltimore. Talked to them for 25 mins, then was given the SS Workload number in Birmingham, Alabama and talked to them for 8 mins. Both offices saw my application claim, saw it was submitted online on 5 July...but neither could give me any further info other than it's still under review. Workload found the person directly assigned to my application and gave me her direct number. Called it and got thru immediately to her, or rather her voice mail, as she was "currently not available" to take my call. So left a detailed voicemail asking her to return my call. Not holding my breath, but did finish with...'if I don't hear back, I will continue to call every day and leave a msg until we talk or I am informed as to the status of my claim '. FYI...The lady at the National Office did allow that the online info stating "2-4 weeks" for processing most applications was total BS and the average time was 8 weeks.

Prober is now being probed.

Yes, have seen it and for items considerably more pricey. It's never been so much so that it put me off purchasing.

Caution❗ Some of them are Wile E elephants. ????

Great price...regardless all the other ramifications.

Red light alert, more like. ????

No shortage of beauty in this country. Brains, uhh...not so much.

555 good point❗Disregarded that paltry detail. If only had $10k, I'd off myself before the 6 months ‼️ ????

Shouldn't be a problem as she is Thai. Could renew it at Thai Embassy in DC beforehand.

Start hitting ???? hard‼️ Go on a Galapagos Islands adventure. Do alot of "caving". Really change some people's lives with my money. Will prob still do most/all of these regardless.

Used to be a great metal bar on Wireless Road...The Metal Zone. Think it's moved since Covid. There's a great band named "Hard Boy" and if you Google them or find them on Facebook, can see where they're playing. Also a really old band called Tornado who've been around since mid-90s. If ever in Pattaya/Jomtien be sure to hit Take Care Bar. The band (start every night at 8:30) is very good and can really nail most requests. From AC/DC, Black Sabbath and Disturbed to Linkin Park, Pink Floyd, Van Halen & ZZ Top. Did "Whole Lotta Rosie" recently and killed it❗Fab ???? player. Often wonder why he's in Jomtien⁉️

Coke or Walking St? Or both? ????

The USA should hang it's proverbial head in shame. As backasswards countries like Thailand and others are actually progressing on this issue The Christian Nationalist States of America continues to regress because hypocritical, far right-wingnuts and an unSupreme Court full of loonies whom place their ridiculous superstitious beliefs before The Constitution, which they affirmed to uphold.

I believe what you say and it makes sense, but think many/most will find the driver wants B20 past Central Pattaya Road. Not worth the ire of a songtaew driver. Found. that out a long time ago.

It's 10 baht from Jomtien (or anywhere in South Pattaya area) to Pattaya Klang (Central Pattaya Road). Go further and it's 20 baht. Last year during Covidiocy, it was only B10 to Pattaya Nua (North Pattaya Road). Some will claim B10 to Pattaya Nua, but just stick to this and you'll have no issues. It's worth the extra B10 and you definitely don't want a potential problem with an angry baht bus driver.

That's great. Lucky you. Mine's been on the "Step 2" since 5 July and I've called them and emailed them to no avail and no answers. I'm totally underwhelmed with their service and this excruciatingly SLOW process. Regardless of why it wasn't completed in 2 to 4 weeks, as they claim...it is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable that it's still under review after nearly 4 months.

Just another day in Amazing Thailand.

See, now you need to find yourself❗
