Why care, the jabs are useless after 6 months.

That's what i don't understand about the strike. Unless he is a owner/driver then his employer will pay for the fuel increase.

There was a GAR place on Thepprasit Road road in Pattaya and it was great, loved the food. Closed though about 10 years ago.

No tourist in their right mind would come now. Imagine Christmas and New Year without a drink.

If most of the thai population will be jabbed by the end of 2021 why do they need another 65 million doses?

Must be all teetotallers

Yes they want to travel abroad so they can buy a beer or a glass of wine.

Yes this will be the only thing that works. I don't care about being denied entry to a restaurant etc but i need the visa.

All they have to do is charge the farangs 6,364 baht each, sorted.

Depends, if you rented from a thai kiss it goodbye.

So what do you do if you have a family of four but can't afford a car, walk?

You could book flights and stay at a nice hotel for a week for that.

I was just about to book a hotel in Koh Chang for a week in December but they can stuff that. Can't even have a glass of wine with my dinner.

I think it's a major issue. We have the last 3 F1 races in the Middle East (4 this season) in countries that have zero motor sport history. But then most sport is blocked to the average TV viewer so does it matter if they race around the sand dunes. We lost Fox Sports from 1.10.21 so there goes any coverage of F1, MotoGP, WSB etc. (Don't mention Truevisions i wouldn't give them a single satang).

Yes the beginning of the end for Pattaya. I feel sorry for the younger guys now, all the best places have gone.

I am not defending lawyers but he was quoting from an official Thai Embassy website, not speculating. Why would they put in those figures?

An interesting video on Youtube yesterday from Integrity Legal (a Bangkok legal firm) saying that the Thai Embassy in Los Angeles was quoting retirement visa requirements of 1,200,000 baht in the bank or 100,000 baht a month income. I wonder if this is an indication of a general increase in retirement limits in the future. I guess the 800k/65k has been around for a long time. I would bet a big increase is due soon.

Yes an interesting video by Mr Egg (a Walking Street bar owner) on Youtube was quoting this saying it was a direct comment from the PM that there will be no bars/nightlife until 2022. We shall see.

Must be recent, i went with my details late September.

What are you talking about. I have been here 15 years too. The annual extension to my visa takes all of 2 hours, ONCE a year, total cost 2000 baht. The 90 day reporting takes about 15 minutes each time, total cost zero. Hardly a reason for leaving. I think we might have a problem if they added insurance requirements to Non O visas but no sign of that yet.

So the jabs don't work

Another nail in Pattaya's coffin. In a few years there will be nothing left of the Pattaya heaven we had in 2006-2012. Won't be worth flying 13,000 miles.

Last orders at 9pm or last drinking at 9pm. I presume you can't order 5 beers at 8.59 pm and keep drinking till 11 pm?

I booked a hotel for the night in Chantaburi. It was so boring i didn't even stay and drove home (to Pattaya).

Does that help? it just shows who stole your stuff.
