Yes, it’s an entry card.!!

Try Mr Jacks a few metres up Soi Bukhao from Pattaya Klang. He’s the best guy I’ve found to service watches. He’ll give you an honest opinion as to what he can / can’t do and an estimate of the cost. He serviced a 70’s Tissot for me. Very pleased with it.

Do these people put their brains in a locker at the airport when they arrive ? I ask you.

I’ve got a Toyota hybrid. Dealer advised service intervals of 10,000 Km or 6 months, whichever comes first.

There’s definitely a place for the older style bars and establishments, but charging top dollar for drinks etc won’t wash with those that don’t mind paying more, but want the aesthetics and ambience of a modern establishment. I think one of the problems with Pattaya is the eclectic range of visitors. Trying to work on a one price suits all regardless of the venue doesn’t fit.

You could try The Grass on Pattaya Tai. They have an Apart/hotel block. No idea what the availability might be or indeed the rate, but maybe worth checking.

Last week the plan was two way traffic on Bukhao and one way traffic on more of the sois off of it, like Soi Honey. Next week …..who knows ?

I guess what will be interesting is when a tourist gets nabbed for having a beer at 14:15, and it hits the headlines. And believe me it will !!

Honest officer, the ATM machine just got stuck to my card as I drove away !!

I hope the expansion also includes additional parking areas. Difficult to park at peak times.

Beginning of the year, we were quoted 50,000 for SS gate approximately the same size as yours. Didn’t get a check price, but believed that was the going rate.

This week via WISE I’ve sent a transfer for 100k Thai Baht to Kasikorn and transfer went through in seconds.

The Expat shops (Like Siamburys) normally carry PG Tips and Yorkshire tea bags. I do understand that supply can be a bit hit and miss though.

If your friend applies in October for the extension it will only be valid until the April passport expiry date. I renewed my passport in March of this year myself (not through an agent) and it only took 2 weeks from first visit to Bangkok to make the application. My suggestion would be to get a new passport in the next month or so. Process is pretty easy.

I guess if many people are applying on line it should make the process at the DVLA easier and quicker for those that have to apply physically.
