    and chocolaty!

    Coco Pops contain sugar?

    I'll be in this situation in 9 years from now. My son will hopefully be able to get his own Education visa and then either get a job or marry a Thai! I'm hoping that having lived his whole life in Thailand, he might be able to get some kind of permanent residence, as the laws may have changed by then.

    Perhaps his finest moment:

    The example I gave was this weekend's New Year concert/festival, although I would also use the recent Fireworks too. Pattaya is very popular with rich hi-so Thais (or maybe their kids) and not just a sex town (although it is that too, if you only hang out around soi 6!).

    There can be no doubt that Pattaya is changing dramatically - this weekend's festival/concert proves that. A "farang ghetto"? I don't think so!

    Why the fascination with Prince Andrew? It's common knowledge that he, and Clinton, was Epstein's friend. The list may contain some more surprising names; perhaps some who are running for President.

    Thanks. No, I don't think diabetes was mentioned. My wife suffers from the same problem, usually brought on my stress/tension. The doctor seemed to think my son's sweaty hands/feet is genetic and said a dermatologist can treat it. BPH is much easier for us, so we will follow your recommendation.

    We took my son to see Dr Hataichanok Bansiddhikongmanast at Samitivej, Chonburi. She prescribed a blood test for hyperthyroidism and the result was in the 'normal' range. She advised us to take him to a Pediatric Dermatologist. Although we can do this at Samitivej, Chonburi, the hospital is a long drive from our home. Do most hospitals in Pattaya/Rayong have pediatric dermatologists and can anyone (or @Sheryl) recommend one? Many thanks.

    I was writing about legal asylum seekers, not illegal immigrants.

    Where should they be put then? With the recent Ukraine example, many individuals accommodated them privately, but those were exceptional circumstances.

    You omitted this bit: "taking part of their earnings in return"

    A little bit of reading might enlighten you: https://www.unhcr.org/th/en/unhcr-in-thailand

    The barfine is just to release the girl from her bar duties. She charges the client for the sex and none of that goes to the bar manager.
  15. brewsterbudgen
    Not really. A pimp takes a cut of his girl's money; a soi 6 manager's role ends once the girl is in the room with her customer.
  16. brewsterbudgen
    Not until "the Spring".
  17. brewsterbudgen
    Not really sure that's accurate as they don't control the girls. Nevertheless a good manager will help the girls make more money.

    Maybe this should be moved to the Pattaya Forum as it seems to only relate to Jomtien Immigration.
  19. brewsterbudgen
    It has better food, TVs and alcohol, and there are no bars on the door.
  20. brewsterbudgen
    Yes, I'm resident in Rayong. When I renewed my 5-year licence 4 years ago (then in Bangkok) a medical certificate was not required. Has the policy changed since Covid?
  21. brewsterbudgen
    Surely you're paying for the masseur's time, not the actual time of the massage.
  22. brewsterbudgen
    Thanks for the report. I'll be using Rayong for the first time when my 5-year licence expires. Were you renewing a 5-year licence? Was it straightforward to get the Certificate of Residence from Rayong Immigration? Is a medical certificate needed for renewing a 5-year licence? What is DLT Online testing and is this required if you're renewing a 5-year licence? Cheers
  23. brewsterbudgen
    It won't be a surprise to see the expected names like Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton; but it will be interesting if Trump features heavily!
  24. brewsterbudgen
    Pattaya's great for girls (or boys or ladyboys) and fun, and the beach/sea has improved a lot. What's not to like?
  25. brewsterbudgen
    Presumably you will be fully compensated by Jetstar? Not really Immigration's fault.
