My former Passport Number is shown on my only recently acquired renewed 5-year Motorbike and Car Driving Licences because their renewal preceded a trip to the UK during which time a new Passport was obtained.

Is any action recommended?   I always carry a minature laminate of old and new passports with the licences.

Thanks anyone.

Yes, you need to get the new passport number put on your DL

Thank you for your reply

 

My reasoning on the matter is that - In the 2019 AGM co-owners voted for 9 committee members to represent them and that should stand and be cast in stone.

 

As 3 that have now resigned I would have thought it more than just a duty to at least ask co-owners to vote to elect and try to replace those 3 at this years AGM. Surely they have to uphold the 2019 vote on this.

 

Another 2 points are that of the 6 remaining 2 are husband and wife which could be seem as a conflict of interests although I understand there is unfortunately nothing from what I can see in the condo act to prevent this from happening.

This couple are also only here over the winter months so for 6 months of the year we will be down to just 4 committee members.

 

With this in mind I think I have a good case that the committee must ask for new members at this years AGM.

not quite.  It's a crowded environment in most bars, with most people sitting next to each other

I can highly recommend Meat Stuff on Soi 8 Theprassit. On the left if travelling from Theprassit towards Caddy Shack, in a soi by big 7/11. Pork sausages, bacon are superb, with no additives.

If what you say is true then why are they calling vaccinated in the U.S.A "Super Spreaders"??? Why is it that Israel the most vaccinated country in the world is currently having a massive outbreak and the majority of people hospitalized/dying are those vaccinated?? So many things we don't know about covid still, lot more research and statistics need to be done/gathered still!

Why is it you can have had 20 other vaccine shots but if you refuse covid vaccine you are now an anti-vaxxer?

The trend has brought a slew of questions about the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and the implications of new strains for future outbreaks. While these trends initially seem like cause for vaccine skepticism, a closer look at Israel’s current outbreaks shows that vaccines are effective and working — even against the delta variant

If you read other articles floating around, I would say yes. Property groups are going to spend billions in developments, conference centres etc...

Pattaya is a big red light district. And sadly this kind of business has a problem now. Perhaps it should try to get transformed into a high quality family tourist destination and/or a normal city like Bangkok that doesn't depend on party and sex tourism so much. But not everything is lost. There is still a stretch even now in front of Tree Town with many hookers and farangs every day. It seems to be an allowed area - we had the same last year. Sadly at this time an entertainer picked up at this party mile got killed by a Farang. Was in the news everywhere. Hard to forget. And one more thing is surprising. Many shops close but they build new bars like crazy - now at this time. So the future of Pattaya might be - more of what it has been already. 

u could be right

If walking 3hr 30m-3hr 45m even in Thailand. If in buggy, 3hr 20 min is enough.

Very tough in Thailand these days to get a job as an expat. Most companies are only hiring Thai nationals as there is now an good supply of them after many years of drilling activity here. Best way is to register with agencies, Brunel etc.

Sorry just saw this post.

Company just outside Pattaya supplies all PPE.

No spectators are allowed this year. Players are in Q bubble.

That whole public/private thing was started last lockdown, but was not really the case. I'm on the committee at my condo, and we called City Hall during both lockdowns, and were instructed to close the pool. Public means shared across households, which is the case in a condo. And while you deride the manager for following the law, it's the manager and the committee that would face the fines and possible jail terms, not you.

That's complete opposite of what they told our condo! We stayed open.

Currently this is just a theoretical scenario, but it could happen to any of us any day, so i was thinking about what would happen if:

 

Somebody with who you had close contact tests positive for Covid, could be your girlfriend, or maybe somebody who sat in a bus next to you, and the government considers you as "high risk".

- Are we forced to get tested for Covid?

- If we are forced, will the government pay for the test, or do they expect the foreigner to pay for a forced test?

 

The worst case scenario happens, we test positive.

- Does the government force us into a hospital?

- Can we choose the hospital?

- If we are forced, will the government pay for the stay in the hospital, or do they expect the foreigner to pay?

- What happens if the foreigner refuses to pay?

You will be made to take a test, and if positive go to hospital at your cost. It happened to a guy in our condo when he arrived back from France. We were lucky we weren't all tested, but he got sick on his first day back so hadn't mingled. hospital cost were 500,000 for two weeks

Thanks for your response. Have no doubt that your noted experience is a genuine memory. I do recall that a number of private companies operated the Bangkok-Pattaya service and the Nipa Hotel link may well have been one such option.

My memory is linked with the Ekamai bus terminal to Pattaya service with the Pattaya end being as I noted. I have a distinct memory of catching the bus at Pattaya in 1988 when my departure coincided with the Seoul Olympics 100m final and the infamous Ben Johnson drug ban. I managed to catch the final live on TV before boarding the bus. Also recall that the bus, to reach 2nd Road, needed to ascend a bit of a hill from the bus park before heading to North Road and then onto Sukhumvit. That also seems to match with the topography at the north end of Beach Road, rather than the flatter Klang area.

Looking back I do wish I had taken more photos of my earlier trips to Pattaya (plus many other places) rather than having now to depend on a memory that is nowadays more prone to fail.  

Anyway, thanks for allowing me  to think back to what I always consider to be the best days of my long connection to Pattaya. Cheers.

 

I think it was called Soi Regent Marina, now where the Holiday Inn is situated. It had entrance to both beach rd and 2d rd. Tropical Bert had his first bar there.

I've heard from friends in Bang Chang that it will eventually link up with the dual carriage way into Ma Ta Phut. Not sure when.

Just wondering, how many types of visas this country have? i guess like 2 dozens and even more,

the day that this country will streamline their visas type that will be the day they send home half of the people that work in immigration centers in the country and confusing will be minimized...

It's no different than many Western countries. UK has over 20 different types.

Bring it on, they will get what they ask for!!
