Hi, if going on a Friday and picking up Monday, what can you do there on the weekend, or go somewhere else for two nights, come back Sunday ??
-
If anyone is getting on in age here, alone, and low funds, I would definitely advise going back home while you can .Giving yourself time to sort out the new way of life there, and arriving say in April, when weather gets better.

If you only want breakfast without a room, sorry, never seen that. Individual small restaurant s offer breakfast, but not buffet.
-
Most hotels these days have a breakfast included in the price. All you have to do is search booking.com and Expedia for example . Put in your date and area’ prefered and hundreds of offers will pop up.

(What’s the salted fish they bbq in the’ markets in Thailand ?And why do they offer so much river prawns? Personally I don’t like them, much prefer fresh sea prawns.

First, I’m home when the maid comes. Second, never leave valuables in drawers , visible etc. Third, if you have a safe , keep it behind a locked door/ cupboard. Cheap safes are easy to open. If you’re that worried,set up cameras. Or clean yourself.

Well, I suppose that news will shut a few of you rumour mongers up!

Unfortunately, it seems that only fixed rates work. Huge boards at taxi stands and’ inside airports stating the price. Maybe even a ticket with a destination number and price. Didn’t they have this in Phuket years back?

Time to bring in speed cameras on all roads, especially up country. The powers that be will make a fortune. If it hits these crazy drivers pockets hard, and has their car taken away, maybe we will see some change.

Every card should have a PIN number, then, if your card is lost/ stolen , no one can use it.

God, this thread is like rumours. Every person adds something on, and all rubbish. It was not him ‘ all over the news’, he earned 15000$ over 6 months, a very average wage for doing publicity .( never seen on tv actors acting as insurance experts/ doctors/ dentists etc ??) he hasn’t earned billions, and billions did not go through his bank account which doesn’t exist. Get your facts right before condemning someone !!!

WHERE does it state that a bank account had been opened and used in Keller’s name ? Can’t find this information.

Why didn’t you write into your contract your terms of days and times you can and cannot work ? Then if they refuse you know where you are .

Taxis, Baht buses , motorbikes, tour buses, all should be banned from where the tram runs. Flood drainage works done before or at the same time as preparing the rails. Special licence taxis allowed to do hotel pick ups drop offs , hospitals etc, from a central taxi station. Barriers put up, police presence on all entrances. CCTV cameras everywhere. All these things exist in popular tourist areas around the world. One of the best examples is Nice. Two big multi story parking buildings at either end of Pattaya would work wonders too. One can only hope that the research team they employ are experts and know the particular problems of Pattaya . People will complain, but will eventually get used to it. The change in the air you’ breath will be truly amazing !

I live in the south of France, now retired having worked there 45 years. Have spent my winters in Thailand and South America for 30 years. If you have worked the necessary years, you get a pension, the best healthcare , fabulous scenery , great weather, fabulous food and wine. I love my winters abroad and travel a lot all over, but I’d never give up my home to live in Thailand permanently. Some of the differences that strike me most between these countries, the beautiful clean blue waters of France and the filthy dirty waters in Thailand, the dirty streets and lack of food hygiene in Thailand compared to the high maintenance of towns and strict cleanliness concerning food. Spain and Portugal have similar housing costs and better living conditions than Thailand.

I dont think the rise in prices would be a problem if the country and its’ leaders were improving the infrastructure, solving the waste water problem, and stopping the road carnage which with over 20000 deaths a year is enough to stop any tourist coming here. France ,for example, had 3000 deaths last year. Instead, they offer filthy streets , stinking drains, and a chance’ to swim in garbage and worse. All with a high rise in prices. Thailand is not a valid tourist destination anymore.

It’s a good mall for me, they have loads of independent shops, not just the Zara’s and Bâta . I’ve bought quite a few things, some inexpensive hand made jewellery, a few dresses, all from indépendant sellers, the food court is super clean and good, the huge cosmetic shop’on The ground floor is a one of its’ kind, everything a lady could want from shampoos to creams and all the make up brands a Thai lady could ever want., There’s an Italien too that makes its own pasta , great. Lots of choice that is different to Central Festival. I’ll still use the two. Of course low season would be quieter , but when I last went there mid March it was very busy .And yes, the toilets and air con are wonderful !

The online visa approval letter is easy to do.

My condo office does report my arrival online as soon as I arrive.She gives me a print out where my name ,and any other ( people who arrive the same day ) is stated. Now certain here are saying I don’t have to go to the immigration to report my arrival myself as well ? But when I ask for an extension of my tourist visa Jomtień asks’for the notification of address slip of paper ??? So, what to do ? Who is right ? ( ps I normally always report myself the next day of arriving as well )

Loved that. I am also very touched when thinking of all those young boys, and not so young, being thrown into another world of war and pain.Not only Vietnam, the 1 st and 2 nd world wars, how those men suffered. I shared an apartment with two American boys on a trip around Europe after serving in Vietnam. I saw close up how it had affected them, I don’t think you ever come out whole after seeing war with your own eyes.

Take all the foreigners out of Britain and Britain will collapse ! It’s the same in all EU countries, they rely on foreigners. When did you last see kitchen staff, road sweepers, building workers being born British and not of Commonwealth descent ? If you have to blame someone, blame yourselves and the government. Brexiteers will build themselves in a lonely corner without a door ! (Ps, I’m British)

I think maybe he was too good for the RTP, and that is no big joke.

Tourists thrown out of Jomtien hotel amid legal dispute
in Pattaya News

I really hope that the police/TAT or someone has found these tourists new lodgings and that TAT have taken on the bill. How on earth can this be allowed to happen ? These poor tourists should cause a big stink international news etc if not.
