You ARE correct.. The shuttle bus is only available to those who can show they have an onward flight ticket. It's not available to "anybody" , as others are suggesting.

Depending on the area, it may take years to sell. Best way is to list it for sale with several good agents..

They do NOT enforce wearing masks.. Last week, only a handful of the staff were wearing a mask.

Good job then

Bank letter with latest balance, must be done SAME day that you go to immigration

You would need a lot more than 1mil baht, itself insure. A heart attack would cost you far far more than 500,000baht,in a Thai hospital.. Your 40,000 baht month income, would not be sufficient to support a wife and a child, as well. Your 9mill baht savings may last last 20 years if you are careful and not buy house for Thai wife or family etc etc.

The hop hop off bus, is a brilliant idea... But too expensive at 800 baht. Biggest problem is the traffic jams in Pattaya, due to roadworks

Of course he is wrong,. He's being ignorant and stubborn.. If he walked to the bottom of the hill.. Between 3 Mermaids and chocolate factory.. There is a gate with steps, that lead down to cosy beach...

It depends what go-go bars you go to.. Some girls enjoy passionate kissing.. Some not like..

\your life must be very boring, if you spend so much time worrying about frig warranty..omg.. Are you realy serious about this....

Whether you like it or not... It's still called Cosy beach...

Lucky you.. I'm same age, but find it very very difficult to sleep..

You may be better back in the UK, where it's could and miserable..

Pattaya, to me, is far far better than Phuket, certainly less ripoffs.

Good job.. Where should a landlord not receive his required rent on time.. It's cheap enough..

There is Canterbury tales, but I doubt if he buys books, does trades though..

good job.. Why can people not act normal.. The pandemic nonsense is over..

You are correct... It's mostly people who have NO money, that make claims that it's better to rent it buy. I bought my condo, which is far more secure that 'buying' Thai land..

Haha...expats who don't pay their rent on time... Do not deserve any sympathy.. If you can't afford your obligations, go home...

Very true... Alcohol is usually part of the problem..

Maybe it is sad... But if 800,000 is too much for you.. Best Not to consider retiring in Thailand.. To most of us, it's just a pittance after working for 30-40+ years.. Cost Of living is much cheaper in Thailand, saves you more than the interest you could earn From investing $30,000 opprox in home country. You would also pay 15% + tax on that income..

Me same same. No problem at Bkk bank

I doubt that that is correct..

Yes, I'm sure there are more tourists pattaya/ Jomtien,than there has been for many years. The beaches are certainly busier on weekends. Maybe people, like the Russians etc, are now staying longer.
