It’s not private information if you are paid by the public and pending 3 convictions of corruption. Then renter the country and avoid a jail sentence relying on I’ll health.

So crime does pay! This is unbelievable and if it happens will have many Thai people shaking their heads even further at the current govt.

You will pay 20k at a local hospital or 40k at Bumrungrad- BKK hospital. You can get cheaper like I did but I would go to Bumrungrad and get knocked out. They burnt mine and the smell of my tubes burning wasn’t great. The Doc said he was sending the tubes cut off to the laboratory. I asked “oh to check for cancer” . He replied, no, to check I cut the right ones. True story!

Was there last week. 500thb entry fee.

Those flaps on the top pockets are a work hazard. They have to unbutton them to put money in them often in heavy traffic.

Put mum and dad in a home 3 years ago. $800k deposit for each of them and $54.00 per day each. Thats in Australia…and they both don’t stop whinging how crap the food is and all staff (and chef) are Indian.

You are generous. I avoid tourists and only talk to people that I am introduced to by friends. Often met at golf or at a persons house for bbq etc.

Dressed too well to be an Aussie.

I think the locals realised they have more money than most broke ass farangs. Money is object number one in Pattaya. Not many are working in Pattaya for love of the job.

Imagine the poor policeman trying to make sense of statement from Indians 4.30am in the morning. Then deciding who is telling the truth 555

I’m still waiting for the road to be finished from BKK…I am 52 and will probably never see it complete in my lifetime. HH better improve their taxi / grab situation as getting a car there is next to impossible.

The Chinese are masters of worming (paying) their way through society regardless of which country the penetrate. Hurry up and enjoy your holidays because they will soon be allowed to travel again next year.

Golf Mon / Wed / Fri mornings nearly single figures which is my aim. Walk my dogs every day. Try and ride 100km each week. Get 2 massages and sneak in a beer each night. After food shopping and organising things around the house I am done!

I suggest hotels concentrate on training staff better as the service in many hotels has slipped and esp on front desks when busy. Obviously there are a lot of stresses out people that I see on both sides of checkin / checkouts. Once that is all sorted along with food and beverage I would happily pay and extra $8. As usual, the good places prices correctly will be booked out and the remaining will struggle until we return to normal. i much prefer to stay at independent hotels than the cookie cut chain groups, but that’s just me….so Bill probably won’t get any of my business.

Not to my knowledge. You can obviously deposit usd into your thb acct with the banks nominated exchange rate but there are no platforms available similar to hsbc etc.

300 thb is here nor there, but it’s not a good look for incoming visitors unless they can guarantee what it’s for. i would increase it to 500thb for every two weeks stayed and put it towards a health insurance fund, then everyone is a winner. What they should do is ensure the funds are correctly spent which will never happen in this country. They just can’t help themselves.

All show. Why else would they spread them out like this. Wonder where all the designer gear went. Probably into their own shops.

Yes, Pattaya attracts possibly the worlds worst tourists. Nothing good comes out of Pattaya. Don’t go there.

List hasn’t changed since last year and likely not to change. This country is structured so it can’t change. If i was Thai I would almost be embarrassed to be on that list.

Damn…I better start start paying them from now on. Have had a good run for 12 years so can’t complain.

I have entered 5 times using Thai pass doing work trips outside Thailand and think it is just a complete waste of time. I have HR at work do mine but I see no sense at all in it neither do the people working on the counters. It wouldn’t stop me coming as a tourist though as it only takes an extra 5 mins but not sustainable as it gets busier.

Www.yarontida.com ask for Q the owner. She knows everything in the area and speaks perfect English. Sold me 1 house after renting 2 in the area…Bang Na , Prawet etc. I have absolutely no affiliation but she is the best imo. Have tried most of them. note; she doesn’t do budget places…mid to better end. Rentals 30k + sales 6 million at lowest.

Even the USA has stopped wearing them. BA does not even require them on flights and good luck finding anyone in Australia that has a mask on anywhere!

Why is it when these people have injuries they cry to the public. Do not come here unless you have insurance and if your insurance does not cover motorbike accidents (as mine doesn’t) then don’t get on one. It’s called being accountable for yourself.

Rent in Thailand and never get married. Keep all of your money in home country. Then you are worth more alive than dead in this country !
