    My BP went very low and also my heart rate it was caused by the eye drops for my glaucoma which continued a beta blocker.

    Rent not buy, you only need a few bad neighbours or a poor management company and life can be hell, renting gives you more options, dead money but condos can be a poor investment.

    I am not receiving the Asean Now Daily Newsletter, I have checked my spam folder as suggested but it’s not there.

    Only if you were on a data base which shows how long you have been where ever, does the local Immigration Office linked to the one at the airport ?
  5. Jumbo1968
    The scanner only scans your main passport page nothing else, yes airport staff will check if you have a valid visa to enter Thailand as they will be responsible for paying for your flight if Thai Immigration won’t let you enter Thailand.
  6. Jumbo1968
    It’s only scanning your personal details, there might be system in place if you are on a wanted list and the gates won’t open. 9 times out of 10 my passport for some reason never opens the gates in the U.K. and I have to get it checked manually.
  7. Jumbo1968
    But you will be heading to the Departure Gate and long gone before they if they ever do get round to checking the scanning machines.
  8. Jumbo1968
    The check in staff only check if you have the correct visa, documentation etc to enter the country you are travelling to, they don’t look through your passport pages looking for stamps, it’s not in their mandate. We did advise Border Control of the overstay every month but all we had were emails confirming it was ok.

    The scanner only reads your personal details.

    Newcastle and Teesside the same, no Passport checks when you leave the country although they can do spot checks. We got ‘stuck’ in the U.K. for 15 months due to Covid travelling restrictions, my Thai wife was on a 6 month Visitor Visa. When we left the U.K. no questions were asked when she checked in about overstay.
  11. Jumbo1968
    So if you are on overstay you just use the automatic gates also you will be leaving Thailand with out an exit date stamp or am I missing some thing ?

    It’s going to be difficult season for all the Beer Bars in Pattaya but more arm still being opened.

    I beleive Jomtien have said you need a TM30 when doing a 90 Day Report ?

    Rabbits eat lots of carrots, you never see a rabbit wearing specs.
  15. Jumbo1968
    No idea where you’re from but in the U.K. it’s £25 for an eye test although some of the franchises are ‘free’ ,they will give you the prescription even if you don't buy anyspecs. i understand they might not give you a prescription unless you pay for it, they couldn’t operate a successful business if they were giving free prescriptions out only.
  16. Jumbo1968
    Optometrists in Pattaya, they are few and far between, I would only buy specs from the place that I had the eye test as a well know chain of spec shops fitted the wrong lenses.
  17. Jumbo1968
    There might be plenty of shops selling specs but very few employ optometrists, they give you a very basic eye test, an Optometrists would inspect your eyes for any sign of disease not just an eye test. I had an eye test yesterday at an Optometrists last week in Nakula, it was free, they don’t charge for eye tests obviously relying on you buying specs.
  18. Jumbo1968
    Initially it will be busy then people will just start going out later.
  19. Jumbo1968
    Google optometrist and I am sure you will find one, Pattaya Bangkok hospital don’t do sight tests, they don’t employ an optometrist.

    You could repeat this story a hundred times, either ignorance on the drivers part or thick, similar out side my sons school, teachers take their life in their hands trying to direct traffic and getting ignored.
  21. Jumbo1968
    I was merely suggesting closing off Soi Buakho from Soi Diane/ Soi Lenke to Pattaya Klang. if drivers were aware it was closed they would not attempt to access Soi Buakho.
  22. Jumbo1968
    Pattaya Tai.
  23. Jumbo1968
    Because you can go down Soi Diane to 2nd Road or Soi Lenke to 3rd Road.
  24. Jumbo1968
    Put physical barriers up so it is just a single lane creating side walls for pedestrians, I think they did this on Khao San Road in Bangkok.
  25. Jumbo1968
    They ban lots of things banned but they are never enforced, they banned baht any buses a few years ago from Buakhao but it was never enforced. Buakhao should be closed to traffic pedestrians only between Soi Diane and Pattaya Klang from 7 at night.
