The cleaner in my building just came back yesterday from visiting the hospital. She need oxygen mask. Was told it was because the pollution was very bad.

Oh, pretty sure it was the hospital mentioned in article.

As I read this, I am literally in the process of buying an air mask, air filter, and waiting for the pm2.5 monitor to come from lazada.

When is this supposed to be completed?  Seems like forever ago when I could cut through Mike's from Beach Road to Second Road.

You still can. There's a small entrance on second road that opened up to let you in to the mall.

Avenue has Villa. It's ok.
The walk on sukhumuvit had Villa and Starbucks and parking. If I lived east side I would be there frequently.

On the list of things that should die, Mike's shopping mall should be first. The fact it's there means things don't die easily here.

What monitor do you all recommend. I'm thinking of getting one. Would like it to be accurate, but does not need to be super accurate. I figure +/- 20% would be enough.

What has forced you to come to Pattaya; a place you clearly do not like?

He was told it was an international resort and sports hub.

Hello,

 

I read the thread for the 5 year, but wanted to check for the 2 year.

 

I presently have a 2 year license and wanted to renew it. I am not sure about the requirements. Do I need to get a certificate of residence from Jomtien for that?

 

I have a 5 year visa in my passport, and recently did the 90 day report.

 

Thank you

Terrible in Pattaya again. Barely can see the boats from the beach.

I heard it was farmers getting their crop burning on early , in addition to cars

Does this mean all of Thailand is covered in pollution, or are there clean parts.

One simple application form.
All through email.
About two weeks.
Pick up visa at bkk airport if you apply from outside, or Bangkok immigration if you are already in Thailand.

Less paperwork than a single entry visa.

And of course, you do it once, and your good for 5 or 20 years depending which you choose.

I go to central and terminal several times a week each.

Both are busy. Very busy on weekends.

Both have a lot to offer.

I don't see any of them having problems continuing to work.

The food choices at terminal are great. The theater is good. And the variety in shopping is nice. Plus, you know, After You.


Central has its department store and food store, so it's got naught to worry about.

I stopped going to harbor mall when half the stores closed up. Very sad and depressing. So few food choices on an empty bleak floor

Same with marina center. The front half is effectively empty. The big c supercenter back half is doing well tho.

I did not say or imply that.

I think that may be where the confusion and question was.

I too remember reading somewhere that a husband and wife can runa business together with no other people, and the foreign husband can work.

However,, I have no idea if I misunderstood or if this is a very old law.

He could if it was in his job description and the DOE accepted it.

So just him and his wife, with no other people, could run a company and he would be allowed to work in it. Nifty.

Since the Elite application form does not ask for a local address in Thailand:
Can you do the 90-day report in any provinces if you don't always stay in the same place?

Yes. I've moved and did it in different provinces. No problems, just need to update your address with immigration.

Sounds good! Any experiences with:
- driver license and international driver permit? 
- chinese visa and other embassies that usually only allow non-immigrant visas holders to apply?
- certificate of tax residence and annual tax return (for those spending 180+ days per calendar year)
 

I've had no problems getting a Thai driving license with just an SETV, so should be no problem with TE. I've not needed the others so could not comment

Dear OP

I was in a similar situation to you, age, and everything. I thought of doing SETV in Singapore, and KL, as i visit there often. However they were not interested in giving visa even if I'm only in Thailand 6 months a year.

I did some basic maths. If I planned to stay here at least 7 or 8 years. That would be two 5 year visas, which would cost 1M. By paying 1m upfront, instead of 500k, I would get the option to stay an extra 10 years without an additional fee.

This also gives me the benefit that if fur any reason I need a prolonged stay (sickness, accident, avoiding riots in France) I can do so without worry about overstay or doing border runs.

There are also some useful frills:

1) Correct stamp when entering, checked by staff and sorted out on spot if IO make a boo boo
2) Banks, immigration, government offices, police, etc, are happy when they see a 5 year visa in your passport.
3) 90 day report in person is done so quickly I sometimes don't need to sit down.
4) if needed, you can stay in the country without leaving for 20 years.
5) Depending on when, you may lock in a good exchange rate, as the price is in baht and does not change according to world currencies.

Also, have not heard a single story of anyone having any problems.

I did read, but could not guess which road the blue bus goes up.

From second road i could not find one that goes up to suk on south or central road. I found one once on North, but I think it runs only every hour?

On south and central. I normally walk all the way up and never see one, except for private hires.

I was hoping I made a mistake and was supposed to finda white one.

If anyone can tell me what road I will find a bus that goes from second to suk, and how often they run, I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

Is that going up klang, nui, or Tai?

Sorry, from central festival.

I rarely see a bus going up to suk. Are they rare?

What about the poor girl on the lowest tier lady drink price. Not much of a self esteem booster.

I'm a regular at fitness 7. Yes the prices have increased a lot. And not much to show fur it. To be fair, the price went up at the same time the owners of The Avenue raised the rent on everyone.

Cocos is more expensive, and does not have much for heavy lifters. Although the cardio is good, and girls are half price.

I mean they get a discount [emoji14]

Universe has some good equipment, but is a bit old.

Castra has good stuff and cheaper, but it's far away from central.

And yes, it is crazy the prices are more than Europe, and comparable to the fancy gyms in Bangkok, where you get a lot more.

Limited competition, so what you gonna do?

Anyone know if it's possible to get to the Tesco Lotus on Thepprasit and Sukhumuvit by bus?

 

They have a few things the other Tesco does not, but I don't fancy paying 400thb there and back by motorbike for two, for 1000thb shopping [emoji14]

 

 

Thank you

I know France does not accept mail in. However they accept an appointed agent, who does accept mail in.

Perhaps CH will indicate which agent they will work with.

For people living in Zurich, this is very annoying, as it is a day off and possibly a hotel stay to get there in the morning.

It's part of their "Rich tourist out, Poor tourist in" campaign

Canada managed to legalise pot last month without the country grinding to a halt or a run on pizzas. It will change very little if anything (other than legalising it for medicinal use) for the majority of people. 

How are Tim Horton sales doing?
