I guess the other 96 tonnes are safe for now.

Trump is going to jail. Put that in your Putin and smoke it. Russian draft dodgers are all over Thailand and probably a lot of other countries as well.

I have an M-pass. I bought it at Krung Thai Bank next to the Big C Marina Shopping Center on Second Road. It came with a card and a device that you glue to the inside of your windscreen. I last used it in May when I took the motorway from Pattaya to Bangkok round trip. Had no problems. I started my May trip with 1000 baht credit on my account. I last topped up the account with 1000 baht last December. I should have around 700 baht remaining. I think I'll drive to Sattahip just to see if it's still working. Oh, and on that May trip I drove up to Khao Yai and used the M-Flow lanes. I believe you have 7 days in which to pay for unregistered vehicles. I went on the M-flow website and paid with a QR code connected to my Bangkok Bank savings account. Again, no problems.

24/7 is probably a good thing. These venues are already open all night with only the ones not stuffing the brown envelopes enough getting nicked by the BIB. If course, Walking Street, Soi Bua Khao will be thrilled.

Lazada has the wheels in the form of a kit with rods etc. If DIY has them, buy them. YouTube has a tutorial on how to install them. I make sure you buy a set of 2 or 4. 4 if you want the bag to roll evenly. 2 if you don't care.

If this man owes 71580 bht, then that means he actually owed about 7158 bht originally. It's 60 bht to use those 2 lanes one way. The fine is 10 times, so 600 baht if you don't pay. I was under the impression that you had 7 days to pay and not 2 days. I've used those lanes several times and went to the website and made a QR payment and had no problems. Apparently this driver use the lanes about 60 times round trip. I tried to create an account, but because I don't have a Thai credit card, I wasn't allowed. They wouldn't accept my Thai bank visa/atm card as well.

I prefer to use foreign bank credit cards that have no foreign exchange fee. My bank seems to have better exchange rates than KK bank, BKK bank, and TT exchange booths. Plus I can pay using the checking account in my country. Thereby not having to send money into my Thai bank. A win-win situation. Also, if I need an ATM, I use a Charles Schwab debit card that refunds any bank fees. A win-win-win!

Is this for real? Have any projects in Pattaya ever finished within the projected dates? That was a rhetorical question. Most times I add 5 years to a projection and 300 percent extra cost. This dream looks like 10 years and 1000 percent. I guess pigs are flying again! I hope the cost of port goes down.

This post is interesting? When there are more important things like the inflationary nature of bar fines. Or as one beauty put it: "Everything up up!"

I got my M-pass at Krung Thai bank ( the blue bank logo) next to Big C Marina. I've been able to top up at the bank branch on Threppasit Road. I can't remember how much I originally paid, but I had to replace the signal fob and they charged me 300 baht. I used mine last month and it worked fine. I also found out that I could use the M-flow lane on the ring road and avoid the long lines for the M-pass without formal registration of my vehicle. You have 7 days in which to paid. It's 30 baht every time you go through. On the M-flow website there is a link for unregistered vehicles. You input you license plate number (you'll need a thai keyboard) and your province, then the amount you owe will pop up. You can paid using a QR code linked to you bank account. The first time navigating the process seemed a bit arduous, but after that doing it a second time seemed very easy. Hope this helps.

Is the Apple store in Central World?

He's got a great hair cut.

Put me in agreement with all the posters than complain about the US embassy. They simply don't care about US citizens in Thailand. They're doing everything to do less work and complaints are going on deaf ears. Years ago, they used to do satellite visits around Thailand where you could get extra pages, letters of income, and other services during a 2 day visit. In Pattaya they used to use the Dusit Thani Hotel at the dolphin roundabout. Very good service. But times have change and their attitude about service has done a 180degree turn. It's embarrassing to be a US citizen and have this embassy as the protector of our interests.

What major businesses are closed during songkran? Banks, Post Offices etc.

Did my 90 day report online yesterday April 10. Receive approval with new report an hour later. Worked good for me.
