Don’t tempt fate, remember this is Thailand where some drivers here think they have the right of way no matter what colour the light is.

Yes check the Highway Code, you would fail the UK Driving Test if you said green means go, my driving instructor emphasized this years ago

No you don’t, you might have the right of way but only if the way is cleat ahead, https://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/light-signals-controlling-traffic.html

They lease the bar in general not unless they buy it in the wife/girlfriends name which has led to a few disasters and penniless foreigners.

Wikipedia, Wrong. In the UK, normal traffic lights follow this sequence: Red – Stop, do not proceed. Red and Amber – Get ready to proceed, but do not proceed yet. Green – Proceed if the intersection or crossing is clear; vehicles are not allowed to block the intersection or crossing. Highway Code, Green: You can go if it is safe to do so. Give way to any pedestrians who are crossing. Amber: Stop. If you have already crossed the stop line when the amber light appears or are positioned close to the stop line where stopping may be dangerous, you should proceed.

I think the main reason they don’t want a canal is because it would be a physical barrier dividing Thailand and i believe some Southern Muslim provinces want independence.

Not sure what the rules are elsewhere but the green light in the U.K. means go if the way ahead is clear not carte blanche to proceed just because it’s a green light.

How much it’s going to cost to stay open till 4am ?

Effective training is a waste of time, the majority wouldn’t listen, effective policing, I regularly see people run red lights, the policeman in the box never bothers. CCTV at every traffic light to catch the offenders that is if their vehicle is registered.

So they are going to unload containers at one end reload to a different vessel at the other end for its onward journey, surely a canal is the better option ?

Not many if any foreigners in the photo, do foreigners not own or run businesses in Pattaya ?

YouTuber did this one, looks ok,

I agree but why do they keep moving the goalpost, we all thought we were moving forward when they ditched the TM6, 2 steps forward 1 back now, It’s not as if the TM 30 generates any cash only from owners who don’t comply with it. I asked my owner for the receipt, it was obvious he hadn’t done one and he said cost him ฿500 via a ‘friend’ for a receipt.

We are speaking about Jomtien who appear to be keep moving goalposts every now and again.

A colleague was at Jomtien today for a Re Entry Permit, the I.O. informed him even though he has a ‘Retirement Visa and lived at the same for years when he returns to Thailand he has to report to Immigration, is this an old rule they have reintroduced ?

Looks like they knock you out in Thailand which would add to the cost, in the U.K. you get the choice, I decided on staying awake and used gas and air once when it was uncomfortable. I watched the whole process on the TV screen above the bed.

At Central Festival in Pattaya you enter by the main doors from Second Road and pass through a scanner which is unmanned. You can walk into the Beauty shop no scanner from 2nd Road pass through it straight into the Mall avoiding the scanner, farce comes to mind.

Isn’t the Chinese economy in decline, maybe that’s why they are not coming, they don’t have any money.

Do it yourself. https://www.thaicontracts.com/samples/64-last-will-and-testament-preview-thai-english.html

Rod Stewart in Bangkok next March.

My 90 Day Report is due at Jomtien in a couple of weeks, I have a ‘Retirement Visa’, Immigration now require a TM30, what happens if my house owner has never done one ?

Get your facts right Chang is wife neater, great news you won’t be hanging about vetting people as they go into Cheap Charlie’s, we can relax now and carry on wearing our drab clothing

Maybe the clientele can only afford the cheap drab clothing and shower shoes, not everyone is a millionaire. You must walk about blindfolded in Pattaya the attire you describe is what the majority of what foreigners wear more so the shower shoes. Do you walk about with a 3 piece suit, be interesting to know your dress attire ?

Yes more so you don’t know the clientele personally who eat in Cheap Charlie’s and you probably have never set foot in the place, do you stand outside scanning the clientele as they come and go ?

You don’t pay for the ambience, that’s why the prices are reasonable, I have had Guinness in there and I can’t see why you make such a rude comment about the clientele, do you know any of them personally, you are very judgemental and snobbish.
