".......the jail term of two years and 14 months"
Is that the same as three years and two months ?

It is not over until he is inside in the suite reserved for those that can pay

Not a deliberate misread, definitely a misread.

 

That said with no mention of how many 60-75 have been done I would suggest it's a big-fat zero otherwise they'd be broadcasting it to the moon and back.

A whole seventy-three (73) jabs out of >600 registrations!

 

We're all saved!

 

It's a start, hopefully jabbing will accelerate faster than the virus!

 

Deliberately misread. 73 over 75 yo. No mention of how many 60-75 have been done.

Jesus Christ

I was vaccinated on July 22. All through the process rigid controls were in place and seemed highly professional at least for us 75. I admitted almost immediately  and was wheelchaired from station to station in the process. However very long and slow queues waiting outside for ordinary citizens with minimal distancing outside the facility may be problematic. I think they were aiming at 20000 jabs on the day. To yesterday 73 oldies like me have had their first Astra Zeneca shot about 90 minutes in all if you forget the horrendous traffic jams.

Despite a lot of confusion on the issue I understand Chonburi Province has allowed hairdressers to open.

I need a hair cut badly. Can anyone kindly give me a heads up on an open in the Pattaya/Jomtien/Ban Amphur area please?

I ride my pushbike on that motorway. There is a major section NOT finished. Not large, could be completed in a few days, but there is a reason it's not finished us minions aren't allowed to know. Some stupid politics I'm sure.

It is my memory that a new roadway can't be completed except for the last few metres until the total project is approved and allowed to join the road system

Why are the military involved in clearly a civil matter?

This will really upset phantom recruits who are alleged to turn up once a month to collect and disburse their pay

Some many years ago I remember reading this "welfare" programme was allowed to import 37000 (yes 37,000) pistols. Does this give you some idea of the scale of stupidity?

My puppy had given all my specs a good chewing and I have a habit of sitting on my glasses accidentally.

So repairs were needed and I spotted a repair section in an optometry shop in Lotus Tesco South Pattaya

What a great find it was. Excellent and comprehensive make over of 3 sets of specs. Technician seems to have extensive supplies to match most frames.

Work took about 40 minutes and the charge was ridiculously low B200 which I gladly doubled.

Now the stupid part I took no note of shops name but it is the nearest such store on the ground floor to Svensens. Maybe someone can supply the name. Technician has Fridays off.

There should be an apology for Szbreniza also where Dutch UN troops declined to fight to protect the people and 8000 men were slaughtered

You don't have a problem as already advised. As for your reentry permit its very straightforward at airport. Download form (double sided) fill out include you photo. Copy of id page pp and your extension stamp with departure card. Easy peasy and takes minutes.

Remember to organize you "visa invitation" letter for Vietnam if your from country that requires same. 

reentry visas are NOT issued at airport. this practice ceased some time ago

Bought one at Index on Sukhumvit yesterday. In kitchenware section. B130 marked down to B85. Tons of them there.

Problem solved!

In case it is a help to others here is the procedure to replace a car tax tag/sticker that is lost or destroyed while current.

First you will need a Residence Certificate from the Immigration Office. Available within an hour for Baht300. This requires you to present your passport, one set of signed copies of visa pages including TM card, front page and latest entry stamp as well as 2 photos. I provided a recent receipt with my address as proof of location.

The Motor Department near Highway 36 and School of Regents requires you complete a form in Thai which briefly explains loss. I got the form filled in across the street by concessionaires. You get the blank form at the front desk on entry to ground floor. The completed form is then tendered after you have a queue ticket to Window 4 on the ground floor. Form must be accompanied by passport, signed copies of visa and TM pages thereof and the Residence Certificate from Immigration together with the Blue Book for the vehicle.

Fee for this is Baht25 and replacement is available within a couple of hours. You can come back the following day if you wish. All this took about 20 minutes. They hold the blue book until tag is issued.

All this hassle was caused by a super senior moment when I "replaced" the tag with the old one and threw out the new. I am no expert on Thai year dates!

I wish to compliment both Immigration and Motor transport offices for prompt service. One wonders how friendly or at least neutral service can be maintained when you look at the immense volumes of work especially at the crowded Immigation Office where the work is absolutely non-stop.

One last word. The Thai for car tax sticker is "tag"; just the English word I guess.

The reason for three bills is clear-each doctor has a lease style contract with the hospital rather than being a straighout employee. This for tax reason. Hence separate bills.

Strangely enough I noticed it only yesterday when shopping at Big C South Pattaya.

It is on the street that runs along the northern side of the Big C complex which runs from Sukhumvit into the old shopping zone. Many food carts on one side and businesses like AAA insurance on the same side as Nokia. It is well signed.

Good luck

You can charter baht buses from anywhere you find a baht bus!

All I'm saying is there is no BUS service at all on that Soi. Nothing.

On Beach road going past that soi, yes.

Yes that road is usually the end of the line (sometimes before then) for buses going from Pattaya.

Any further, almost always would need to convert into a private charter. 

I have no comment about your picture. 

You might want to look into a private vehicle.

It seems to me that would be an area where relying on public transport would be impractical. 

Hi all and Jingthing (thanks for constant informative posts)

Now tanon Chaiyapreuk 1 seems to have a Baht Bus service. Always seeing 2/3 baht buses during the day queued in front of Mimosa Restaurant about 100 metres from Sukhumvit when I drive past which then take off towards the beach.

Also someone (Baht Bus Co-operative?) is trying to establish a service along new Jomtien Second road. A dispatch station ( a table, a chair and a starter) has been established at the head of Jomtien Sai Song within 30 metres of Sukhumvit. I followed one bus which after travelling along Jomtien Soi 2  turned left at Chaiyapreuk lights to go to Jomtien Beach Road. OK I realise this seems stupid but duh!!!

My guess is it will be very unlikely that song thaew services will extend to the La Royale/NaJomtien Police HQ area in the forseeable future. Hiso area with very little traffic

I have lived here for 20 years. Moved out to Ban Amphur by the beach 12 years ago. It is paradise. No noise, no bars and touts but 20 minutes from everything that can be useful in Pattaya

I have lived here for 20 years. For 15 of those I have used Dr Tapasit who used to be at BPH but now has his own sophisticated practice next to Dolphin Roundabout/Dusit entrance.

he is US trained speaks perfect English and is besides extremely competent fair with his pricing.

Highly recommended
