    Thanks for the info, I will avoid Soi 7 then.

    Officially but water throwing will be going on prior to those dates whereas in most places it only lasts for 2/3 days.
  3. Jumbo1968
    When the customers are stood outside throwing water the bar is not selling beer and wracking up a huge water bill.

    Same here, first time 10 years ago, 2 hours was enough never crossed the door since for Songkran, let the Thais enjoy it. Strange you see older foreigners getting involved but never the older Thai people ?

    Thought there was a water shortage, a week of throwing water about in Pattaya will soon deplete the supply.

    I was stuck in the U.K. for 15 months during covid, I assumed there was only a few baht in the account, I didn’t have a Debit Card for the account at the time. I tried to transfer money to the account but it had been frozen, I went to the branch and unfroze it and found out I had ฿5000 in the account !

    It gets passed on to the government.

    No point withdrawing from an atm from a foreign account you get charged 220 baht per withdrawal.

    Will the banks be required to notify the tax authorities if you receive money in your account from overseas ? if you use the monthly income for your extension will you have to increase this to allow for tax deductions ?

    Krungsri froze my account after I was stuck in the U.K. for 15 months, after 2 years they said they would closed it if there was no activity on the account.

    Emirates check in at BKK are very lackadaisical judging by size of some of the carry on luggage. At Newcastle your carry on bag is weighed and tagged at check in, it’s checked again tag only when go through the boarding gate.

    I think coming soon meals will be optional on long haul flights, if you want one you will have to pay for it.
  13. Jumbo1968
    You will, have flown from Newcastle KLM and BA, Amsterdam, Heathrow and you are allowed the check in baggage for the flight to Bangkok.
  14. Jumbo1968
    3 levels of fares when you book a KLM flight, Skyscanner and agents gives the cheapest one which is carry on luggage only. If you book through KLM direct there are usually 3 levels but some times the cheapest ones are not always available although BC always is.

    A few bars here in Pattaya have English managers, how do they get a Work Permit for doing that ?
  16. Jumbo1968
    Just buy what you need here save all the hassle, give the stuff at home to charity, that’s what I did.

    I think Johnson’s misdemeanours were more than a beer, for a start he lied to the Queen, then lied again in Parliament denying any involvement in parties and prorogued Parliament illegally.

    You can extend the entertainment centre all the way up to Soi buakhao.
  19. Jumbo1968
    They could limit water throwing to one day nationwide, that would save millions of litres of water.
  20. Jumbo1968
    I think the thick ones ate those who made a comment on the topic, 7 pages up to now.

    I always stay 2/3 nights, I live in Pattaya, by the time you get there get to a beach you are thinking about coming back.
  22. Jumbo1968
    Bought one in Home Pro, blew out cool air in the shop only because the surrounding air in the shop was cooled by the shop AC, I wouldn’t recommend one unless you have a very small room.
  23. Jumbo1968
    A colleague had his done in the U.K., it was a production line he said, nurses administrating drops, as soon as 1 went patient came out more or less another one went in, waited 20 minutes after the op then home, back in a month for a check up.
  24. Jumbo1968
    Why would they inject in your eye, I had both eyes done recently, a series of drops to freeze my eye which took longer than the procedure. No ill effects after op, in and out in a couple of hours, Pattaya Jomtien for both eyes including medication and follow up checks.
  25. Jumbo1968
    Because the stock on the shelves has already been taxed I would assume ?
