I don't live in Bangkok any more but for what it's worth, friends who still live there tell me it's exactly the same in Bangkok as you describe things in Pattaya. Police stops on Sukhumvit late at night are a problem and their frequency has increased. The Immigration Department at Chaeng Wattana is horrendously busy and what used to take less than 30 minutes can now take a whole day. Prices in Bangkok at many farang restaurants, supermarkets and bars have gone through the roof etc. I hate to say it but I think it's not just Pattaya....probably most of the places where you have a large number of foreigners in Thailand have become more expensive and are much less laid-back....

Terminal 21 stills sells Most dishes average 40 baht in the food court as do. Most malls

groceries from Tesco on line is the same price for all of thailand

What prices gone through the roof?

Can you not simulate a 737 MAX, you could get to the bar earlier then!    LOL

would laugh but to many dead. It was funny though

I also have the 737 simulation but before the max. No secret software on that one can confirm

I don't know the correct price from Pattaya to Jomtien we paid 500 baht one way
and of course 500 back again and no I did not hire the taxi my lady friend rang

Yes, I have seen that.
A certain bar on Soi 13 and Second Road had about 20-30 people sitting in the dark in the rear of the bar. I am certain they were all drinking water though.

Bluetooth headphones.  I use Bluedio T6 and Jabra Elite 65T depending on what I want.  My TV is non bluetooth so had to buy an adapter from Lazada to broadcast Bluetooth.  I also have sound bar for regular listening.  You can also get normal headphones with a cord.   
 
The advantage of the Jabra is you can listen to sounds outside of the earpiece if you need to hear the doorbell or dog or phone.  
 
If buying a new TV make sure it has bluetooth 5.0 would be my choice or 4.2 if the 5.0 is not available.  

It's never going to change. Punters need to always always ask how much BEFORE buying even a kilo of tomatoes.

It's always been that way but social media will become there undoing now

Some bars serve beer in a glass and it becomes soda.
I think the only ones who abstain for 4 months are the very light drinkers. I know I don't want to around an "alkie" having withdrawal symptoms.

Chinese

They've just gutted a few old shophouses opposite us in Thonburi and are putting up a condo tower. They're going up faster than mushrooms.
I now have a huge Tesco next door,a smaller tesco opposite side of road a new huge Homepro and two 7/11 one big andone average size.Third 7/11 closed recently.

 
She's been to all those places with me, and many more, but what is easy about telling your wife she has to leave all her family and friends behind? Which is why I moved to Thailand in the first place. Then, it was a good idea. I travelled extensively for work and could base myself anywhere. But Thailand 2019 is very, very different to Thailand 1994.

Don't they read thai visa. Clearly the bar stool boys have declared pattaya permanently dead

All of them sell WATER !

 

Pepsi Max & Diet Coke and all similar drinks contain aspartum which is possibly worse for you than sugar.

Sugar = weight gain. fatties have a lot of possible health issues

NO, I am talking about the army. They have been the most destructive force for this nation, during the past century. They are leading the nation backwards, and are doing absolutely nothing for the people.

Still sounds like the BIB to me. Sack the useless BIB and install the army a fantastic solution

As we all know Military Rule had nothing to do with rescuing the boys and coach from the cave. I find this comment highly derogatory to all the people who risked their lives and lost a life during the rescue. It's all quite sickening. I don' know who disgusts me most him or Trump.

Sorry but it did by allowing foreign experts to take the lead, something that previous governments would never have allowed..to much face loss. The right decisions were made all the way down the line approved by Prayut  and a hero lost his life over it and here you are a sad keyboard warrior tearing all of that down

You should be ashamed of yourself ????

OK. Now that military rule is supposedly over, I have one more suggestion. Disband the army, entirely. They seem to serve no useful function for the nation, except for consuming vast amounts of oxygen, and cash. They are not wanted, they are not liked, they are not needed. Most despise them. Get out. Get out now! 

Surely you are talking about the BIB and not the army. When was the last time the army forced you to pay tea money?
