There are at least 6 places around Maprachan renting bikes.

Probably start renting from 8 or 9am. onwards.

Average price 3 hours for 50 baht.

I'm not sure if they charge a deposit or need any ID.

Very busy in the evenings and weekends.

Plenty of car parking opposite the Pong council offices and across the road for Flowerland.

Thanks for the info, will go this afternoon.

Does anyone know if you can hire a bicycle to cycle around Mabprachan lake?

Thanks for the comments, could not find anywhere playing the game, so just had to livestream.

At least I am back in Bangkok for the semi-final.

I think you are little late for the 19th of September or is that a typo.

Sorry yes, October 19, could admin edit for me, the system won't let me edit.

Unfortunately I have to go to Mukdahan on the same weekend as the Rugby world cup quarter final on the 19th of October.

Is there any bar or restaurant that is likely to have the game playing?

The more the better it would be. It depends upon when your extension is due.

For the next extension you would need 12 months of them.

 

The consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam will issue them without financial proof.

Penang with financial proof.

My extension is due March 23rd, so only have time for 2, is it worth going to immigration before this to check if they will accept.

Your income should be from outside of Thailand. You have to be working legally to use income earned in Thailand.

If you are from a country that issues proof of income documents you can use one to prove your income.

If not you need to to show the 40k baht transferred into a Thai bank account. Since it is a fairly new rule you would only need a month or 2 of transfers into the country.

If you are unable to apply for the extension you could get a multiple entry non-o visa that allows unlimited 90 day entries for a year from the date of issue. The consulate in Savannakhet, Laos issue them without financial proof.

Thank you for your response, so 2 transfers of 40k a month should suffice from a UK bank account. 

Also is there anywhere else apart from Savannakhet that issues them?

I am married with 2 children, living near Bangkok. I have been on an extension of stay for the last few years based on marriage, Unfortunately

due to treatment costs for my disabled daughter, which were unexpectedly far higher than normal I do not have the 400k to show this year.

I have income from outside the country. I know you can show 40k a month income but I don't know if this income has to

be from inside Thailand. What is my best visa option? and what are the requirements for it?

Thank you in advance to all those who reply with helpful information.

It is a bit out the way, but i have never had a bad dish at Yok Rok on Rachaphreuk road, it is on the left hand side just after the Circle community mall.

They do an excellent wing bean salad, Dry duck curry and laab badook.

sad...  but... who in their right mind fights an armed cop ...  anyone carrying a gun is best treating with peace in mind ...   yes sir .. no sir ..  3 bags full sir

The Policeman was not armed when they had the fight, he was off duty and got the gun from a waiter in the bar.

Go to one2car.com, you will find Evoques starting from around 2 mil.

Seen better in Spanky's.

As someone else said, Nonthaburi way, particularly around the Rama V roundabout where Nakhon Inn crosses Rachapreuk. 

ladalom on Nakhon Inn is high end, with the lowest rental around 50k per month and increasing. Bangkok Boulevard also is very 

good with prices starting at 35k a month. Ladawan on Rachapreuk is one of the best, but you are looking at closer to 150k starting price.

There are also a number of others around that area, it is easy to just turn up speak to the management at the Clubhouse and look 

around straight away or make a future appointment. All of these are less than an hour to central Bangkok, traffic permitting.

Spend your time looking at threads, replying to them and creating them. This is a great opportunity to

gain respect within the Thai Visa community. The number of posts you have is very important in establishing

credibility. Anyone with as small a number as posts as you is often labeled a troll whose opinion isn't important.

Remember your opinion is more valid the higher your post count.

There are some people who are obviously posting many times every day, these people must have the best opinions

in the world, just wish I had an opportunity like you to increase my count.

Bangkok traffic will be far better in 3 months, because the good General said he wanted it better in 3 months.

You've already been knowingly doing the wrong thing for 3 years why worry about it now?

The post states the reason why she is worrying about it now, try to read a post properly before commenting.

To the OP, yes it is quite possible to get a work permit without a degree. International schools or private schools are businesses and they can easily help you obtain a work permit as long as they don't call you a teacher. Also if you need a work permit just for a mortgage, there are companies who will obtain one for you.

You will get much better value for money in Nonthaburi. I think it is a very good option for families as you can get a big house in a nice village for around 4 million baht,

and renting would be about 15k a month. The only thing missing is a dedicated foreign nightlife scene, but it really doesn't take long to get into Bangkok. I can be in Silom in 30 minutes. Big shopping centers, some good schools, good choice of restaurants with some western options.

I have been in a couple of small accidents, normally just call insurance company and it is taken care of, not a police issue.

As he did not call insurance there and then he was probably not that bothered.

I doubt the cost would be any more than 2000 baht, so just pay it, unless he goes to the Honda garage, which is always expensive.

It was 17000 there for a small dent, but insurance was paying.

You have also been conned by her into being scared about her calling the police.

This is just a minor domestic issue to them and they will not care. Worst result for you 500 baht fine.

I know what most people on here think of Thai men, but if a Thai man heard this story they would 

just laugh their head off at it, and say how weak all falang men must be.

Given proper information to work with I would be glad to, but the OP seems unable or unwilling to provide this, and I am not a mind-reader.

And I dont see you suggesting anything at all: your post was only made to criticise me and as such was completely irrelevant and off-topic. Not that it bothers me at all.

I have had other suggestions which I have thanked them for, thank you for your contribution, I am sorry my post was not detailed enough for you be able to recommend something. I have decided to go to Sunny's as per somebody else's suggestion.

There are only 2 types of people in this world those that can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Sunny's is great. 

I usually take my wife and two young kids to have Sunday Roast at The Loft out by Maprachan lake.  Great food and great price. 

We also take the kids to the Pattaya Sheep Farm quite often as the entry fee is really cheap and the same for Thai's and foreigners.  I think it's 20 or 40 baht to go in so it doesn't need to be a full day activity. 

Sunny's looks perfect, will give it a try, thanks.

I've been hearing good things about Robin Hood tavern , in the Avenue on 2nd road. 

They do a Sunday roast buffet 395 baht or 1 big plate 199 baht   , probably best quality for money in town . 

I went there one time and had the lamb roast, it was delicious.

Ok, Thank you.

Hi, I am just coming down to Pattaya for the weekend with the family, I have 2 young daughters 3 and 4.

I would like to go for a good Sunday lunch roast, not hotel prices. Somewhere family friendly, I am driving

so can travel a bit if worth it. I went to the Pig and whistle a few years back, which I thought was good, but

now I would prefer to avoid this specific area.

We are staying at the Centara Grand Mirage so loads of kids' activities, but if anyone can suggest anywhere else

for fun young children's activities I would appreciate that.
