And thousands of tourists, plenty of other places to visit in S.E. Asia where no Police checks required. What do you class as a scumbag ?

Yawn, zzzz.

Your advocating every one who comes to Thailand as a tourist should have a Police Clearance Check, I can’t see that doing much to boost tourism?

Why not it’s their country, you don’t like how they think go home.

How many countries in the world do you need a Police Clearance Check before going on holiday ?

Typical I am all right Jack, life is difficult enough for Thai people but you are only thinking of yourself.

For a start it was less than ฿10k. how I spend my income is my concern, I don’t go through life trying to save money all the time but anything that saves me the time travelling to and thro from Jomtien is fine by me, money well spent. I also used the same agent to get me a Residence Letter and they do my 90 day reporting for free.

So you want to see people go out of business and Thai people having no jobs, agents are a way of life in Thailand, too many of the higher hierarchy on the take making a lucrative living. Why keep the required amount of money in Thailand paying next to nothing interest when you can keep it in your home country getting interest.

They appear to have added more rooms to the Immigration Office and construction was going on for more space. Thailand makes a lot of money from its Immigration laws so it can’t start enforcing to many rules and regulations. I have no idea who makes what when you have the ฿800000 in your account, it’s deposited and removed within minutes but immigration must be taking a big cut allegedly ?

I renewed my Extension of Stay/‘Retirement Visa’ today, I always use an agent even though I have the money in the bank, too lazy, hate going to immigration and it’s the other side of the city. It was a visit to agent office then the bank, rep from agent there as well who took my photo then I had to go to Jomtien and have some one take a photo outside the office showing me standing next to the immigration logo. Lady in the agent office said more checks were in place now due to the murder of the German fella.

Shop on Pattaya Klang just up from Big C Extra on the right hand side heading towards Sukhamvit sells printers and accessories.

Makes me laugh when people say draught beer, it’s draught fizzy water called lager. At least when you buy bottled beer you know it hasn’t been tampered with or concern yourself when the lines were last cleaned.

Ford dealer in Pattaya quoted ฿9000, shop called Big Key on Thressapit Road ฿3200 including programming.

Why pay it when I can find one cheaper elsewhere, there is a shop on Thressapit Road, The Big Key ฿3200 and they programmes the key as well.

Buy an Amazon Alexa Echo or Dot Alexa, works in Thailand, I have 2.

Yes but all they do is send it to a key shop similar to the one in Big C Extra, they don’t have an in-house facility.

I would like a spare key for my Ford Ecosport which has keyless, push button start, I have enquired at one outlet here in Pattaya in Big C Extra, ฿4500, he said it would take 1 hour, I am not a cheap charlie but the quote appears to be quite steep ?

I have replaced the capacitors in my Hatari floor fans, spares readily available from Hatari, only a few baht each.

Thanks I will have a look inside the unit and the remote.

The system was fully serviced a few days ago, the problem has always existed and the units are newish.

I have often wondered in a country where the majority of the the people are barely on a living wage.but still running around in gas guzzlers ?

Just bought a car, cash, whilst looking for one every advert included finance whilst apparently cheap monthly repayments the interest rate was phenomenal. Looking at the cars history it looked like it had been a repossession from the previous owner by the bank.

By no means expert but looking at the walkways there is an inspection plate at the end of the travelator which must have come loose for some reason and dragged the unfortunate lady down the gap.

No we don’t turn it off to restart the condenser, it restarts itself, at 24c the room feels more cold than our bedroom which is also set at 24c I would find that uncomfortable if I was sleeping in his room.

The external AC Condenser for my sons bedroom keeps cutting out and the internal unit only blow warm air after 10 minutes the condenser restarts and starts blowing cold air again, I have the temperature set at 24c. We only recently had it serviced, my partner said.it has always does that, she was sleeping in his bedroom when he was sick and noticed it going from cold air to hot air ?
