Dark side is so different from 15 years ago! Not so dark anymore.
And Pattaya Beach is so different from 30 years ago. Not so fun anymore.

Open up a "Squab Under Glass" restaurant. Charge 15,000 Baht per head. Within a month every single "Thai entrepreneur" will come to your building and eradicate every single pigeon so they can open up there own "Squab Under Glass restaurant.

Below is a snippet from Reddit. Passports are technically property of the issuing government, not considered personal property of the holder. A passport can be suspended or revoked at any time, even without notification to the holder.
Who owns my passport? : r/LegalAdviceUK - reddit
If you want to get technical, the government owns the passport. However it is issued in the name
of the Queen to the person stated within (you). The government owns the passport, the same for
licenses.
The person who it is issued to is allowed to possess it.- 1

Its about Thailand , not the USA
Mac, if you were in the USA you'd be labeled a "Germaphobe" and be responsible for the formation of the "German Lives Matter" movement.

Remember as a nation they were virtually destroyed by the Spanish and the Catholic church. Then the yanks. They've left scars. Just like all other colonisers.

Like most have mentioned, stay away from Manila. If you fly from Thailand, I suggest flying to Angeles City instead of Manila. AC is where the old Clark US Air Force base was. From there you could head down to SBMA, (Subic Bay Metro Authority about 45 minute drive), that's where the old Subic Bay Navy Base was. It's fairly safe there and has some decent hotels; Best Western, etc. that are safe to stay at. You may encounter a few beggars, people trying to sell you stuff, etc. but they're not to agressive. If you go there, do not venture out to the Barrio or Orlongapo City, nothing for you there.
Someone earlier mentioned Palawan. I highly second that recommendation. Palawan is a completely different experience than Manila / Luzon. I felt completely safe there, the people are extremely friendly and they love thier island. There's a lot of things to do and see there. Very few beggars, panhandlers, etc. In fact if locals see them pestering you, they will shoo them away from you. It's a short hop from AC to Palawan. Again; avoid Manila.

My guess is it's a blank or a starter pistol. Below is a cut and paste from an incident that happened in the 80's to a young actor who was screwing around with a loaded prop gun. Unfortunately it took his life. Blanks can and have killed before.

Who was Jon-Erik Hexum and how did he die? Hexum was an actor who died at the age of 26 on October 18, 1984 after an accident on the set of the TV show Cover Up in Los Angeles. The young actor and model shot himself in the head with a prop gun that contained a blank cartridge.Oct 22, 2564 BE

My friend owns a bar in Pattaya. His wife said there are a lot Bangkok police in town, about 400 of them. They've been going around checking on bars in Pattaya and Jomtien. Has to do with some kind of crackdown because of a Chinese woman that committed suicide because she was being forced to work in a bar.
All the bars needed to close at the proper time, the Pattaya police couldn't do anything about the early closures. It'll all be back to normal by next week.

@Jaybott Do you happen to remember if they were on type F or Non-Imm B...? I ask because if possible I would try to eventually get permanent residency out of it. The salary I'm willing to accept changes a bit based on visa types.
In my situation I never had to get any type of Visa. When in Thailand I worked on US Navy combat and logistical support ships. Myself and the other civilians were basically treated the same as the military was. After I'd arrive in Thailand and report aboard ship, my passport would be stamped out by immigration. From there I was required to always carry my CAC if out and about, just as the US Military was required. When my job was complete, if I left Thailand with the ship I was good to go. If I wanted to take some annual leave and stay in Thailand I'd need to get my passport stamped back in and my 30 days would start.
I would think that your hiring agency should be able to help you with this.

That responsibility should fall on the company you're working for?
Do you work for the US Government as a Civil Servant? If so, it's all done for you. I worked 30 years for the DoD and was covered by whatever agreement the US had with the host country. I spent a couple years in Japan and was covered by the SOFA agreement. In Thailand I worked in Sri Racha, Laem Chabang, Sattahip, Phuket and was covered by whatever agreement the US had with Thailand at the time.
I worked with other civilians that worked for companies under a DoD contract and thier companies took care of everything for them.
All we ever needed to do was show our passports to immigration upon arrival and we'd get stamped in and out. When leaving we go to immigration, get stamped in, then stamped out at airport. We just needed to carry our US Government ID / CAC when out and about.
Are you an independent contractor? That's a different story, you'll need to do it on your own.

Just wondering. If it is a scam and you refuse delivery, does the scammer have to pay delivery / return charges when the package is returned to them?

...Pliers and gloves were found nearby...
Why did he bother bringing gloves? If he wore them it's a possibility he'd still be alive.

Probably that was Angelwitch in Nana, 2nd floor left side. The owner knew what he was doing. But he sold the bar, long before Covid. And since then, it only went downhill.
I thought it was Angelwitch too that he was talking about. Did you ever go to the one on Walking Street in Pattaya? A hundred times better than the one at Nana. Unfortunately that one is closed as well.
