He probably didn’t own property in the U.K. so couldn’t provide the required documentation.

Many Thais don’t live where their House Registrations are, my partner House Registration is in Isaan, I doubt very much we are going travel 12 hours plus house for 10000 baht.

The Chinese do visa on arrival.

More coming as flights from are going to increased in the coming months, I thought Russians weren’t allowed to leave Russia ?

What happens if he/she is staying at a friends house not a hotel or guest house, should the house owner have done a TM 30 ?

For me the high season starts later now mid November and ends the first fortnight in January, the days of long term holidays for foreigners has disappeared never to return. Still hotels closed including the one on Soi Bukhao where the dining area is now a cannabis outlet.

Very personal attention that’s why GC are behind closed doors, posh name for a brothel.

When I used B.A. a couple of times it was a 777 albeit it the seats were well worn.

I agree TAT need to start following the Chinese economy and realise it’s not booming like it was pre Covid.

High season will be interesting to see if all the people who watch the YouTube blogs by various bar owners in Pattaya actually turn up.

For some reason B.A. said they won’t reinstate the direct flight from Heathrow, could be it’s not profitable only 1 flight a day and having to use 2 flight crews. When used the flight pre Covid it was more or less full.

I flew from Utapao to Dubai, looked arabic families people returning home, Fight from Newcastle to Dubai was tourists, Dubai to BKK looked a mixture of returning Thais and tourists.

If airfares drop it might encourage more tourists but on my recent trip to the U.K. the flights were more or less full both ways in economy therefore fares are not going be reduced by airlines. I travelled Business Class from Dubai to BKK, A380 handful of passengers in Business Class, 2 in First Class no idea how Emirates make money on that flight. On a side note the food was disgusting, economy meal served on plates but it appeared to have been reheated several times over. I have sent a complaint to Emirates but no reply as yet.

Buy an Amazon Alexa subscribe to Amazon Music and you can ask for what oldies you want and also listen to radio stations as well, I use mine here in Thailand, think you can buy one from Lazada.

A bit of sarcasm I assume.

Gentlemen’s Clubs another name for strip joint or a brothel is that why they are behind closed doors ?

I flew from Utapao the other week with Flydubai, 2 young foreign lads were checking in with oversized carry on bags quite clearly they knew the weight and size limit. Initially the girl refused to let them fly but gave in in the end not wanting any form of confrontation. My thought was why didn’t she contact a Flydubai rep. to explain to the 2 foreigners there bags were over sized and overweight ?

It depends on the check in staff when there is a limit on carry on baggage, they don’t like confrontation so just ignore the oversize or number of bags. Another whinge when flying, it states clearly on your boarding pass a zone for what order to board in unless you are infirm or travelling with children. Its amazing how many passengers apparently ignore the zonal boarding only to be stopped, they forget there is a seat for everyone. I some times just wait to everyone has nearly boarded to avoid passengers who crowd round the gate waiting to board blocking the way for others.

I agree, I see people on flights attempt to take carry on baggage over the weight limit and size, don’t they ever read the what baggage allowances are or just pushing their luck. Try doing it on an EasyJet ot Ryanair flight, Servisair / Emirates at Newcastle weigh your carry on baggage and on many occasions I have witnessed people being told it’s too heavy/large and they then are frantically trying to put it in their hold baggage. I always get concerned when passengers are putting heavy bags in the overhead lockers, if they accidentally slip from their grasp they could do a passenger a serious injury. When B.A. used to fly from Heathrow their carry on baggage limit was 25kg but the size of the bag limited, try lifting 25 kg into an overhead locker.

He has a bar in Soi pothole now.

Trevor Buzzin was involved in that business was he not ?

I see you only joined in 2021, i would say would you have little or no knowledge about Pattaya, probably don’t even live here or even in Thailand. Stop trolling me, what an ignorant reply you posted.

I know a few bar owners friends, I know what their overheads are but I am not going to divulge them on a public forum.

They are, many bars sell for 60/70 baht a bottle with the same or similar overheads.

Do you ?
