I have been to Da Nang and Hoi An for the last 3 years, no piles of garbage or rats, no idea where you were staying. Scooters do honk their horns as do car drivers to warn you, or they are approaching a junction. As far as the Police were concerned I never saw any, we were involved in a minor road accident in a taxi, no Police involved, drivers sorted it out amicably.

China are investing in Vietnam as well, building a huge hotel/casino in Da Nang.

Just returned from Vietnam our 3rd visit, fast developing around Da Nang Beach only downside will be the Chinese are building a huge hotel complete with a casino. Vietnam where we were Hoi An and Da Nang were both cleaner and brighter than most places in Thailand. I found most spoke English and were more approachable. I think down to the fact they haven’t as yet had the multitude of tourist Thailand has. The majority of tourists were a lot younger age group than in Thailand as well.

I wouldn’t recommend buying from a market stall, the vision in both eyes might be different like mine is,. I use Pattaya Optical on Pattaya Klang who have an Optometrist, not the cheapest but a proper eye test.,Eye test is free if you buy spec,s great selection of frames. I have also used Euro Optics in Royal Garden Plaza, she is also an Optometrist, not a great selection of frames though.

They gave the wrong prescription, it’s a very basic eye test as well.

I am on about the main areas not the beaches, that’s standard for the beach any time of t(e year except when there is an event on at a W.E.

The Grenfell inquiry lasted 7 years.

Pattaya is busy but not with the type of tourists who frequent bars, it would be hard to notice as there are so many bars now.

Will a TM30 be required i will be returning to my home address, Jomtien is my IO ?

I live in Thailand, Retirement Visa, I go for a weeks holiday to Vietnam I have a re entry permit but would I still require a TM6 ?

No more TM30s required ?

We were on Koh Larn last week, I thought we had landed in Russia, it was inundated with Eastern Europeans same as New Year was.

Must have been travelling Business Class to have weight of baggage, economy around 25kg.

I pay her zero same as I did my U.K. wife, I look after her provide a roof over her head and food on the table, why do foreigners pay Thai ladies a salary, easy if they didn’t they wouldn’t stay with the old fart.

No speed humps before the crossing to slow them down then the raised crossing, there should also be a loud noise emitting when the lights are about to change.

Pedestrian crossings with lights were only installed in Pattaya after the doctor got killed in Bangkok, Drivers are unaware of the high level lights or know they are approaching a pedestrian crossing the lights at the sidewalks are not visible to drivers, as well as lights there should a loud noise when the lights are on red as well and warning signs placed 10 metres from the lights warning drivers they are approaching a pedestrian crossing. The ones with no lights are just a waste of paint, most drivers don’t understand or want to understand what they mean.Is ever any campaigns about road safety on Thai tv ? Similar the yellow boxes, I constantly see drivers entering them blocking of exits at junctions.

Read the previous posts it mentions the fellas name, his channel is the sound of a bee.

His initial videos post Covid were ok with videos showing what there is in and around the Pattaya area, now it’s rinse and repeat,

A colleague used an agent to season his bank account, the following year he had the funds, he went to Jomtien, the IO looked at his bank book. He said you use agent last year use agent again then.

So why wasn’t the plant shut down until the reason was found, why did it all of a sudden leak ?

The date is the manufacturer date, it doesn’t mean to say they are unsafe after 5 years, my car just passed mandatory 7 year test and there was no mention of my tyres which are more than 5 years old.

Do it yourself, you provide all the info/documents to the agent and all they do is forward it to Global in Bangkok. I am not sure but the person applying for the visa will have to go to Bangkok like they do when applying for a U.K. Visa.

Recommendations for a Pre Diabetes Clinic in Pattaya, my HbA1c results were slightly elevated on my test a couple days ago.

Another misleading topic, it’s not a new law, it just has never been enforced.
