Last time I took that bus, I used Grab to get to my hotel, which was probably somewhat quicker than using their shared van and quite cheap.
Probably depends on the time of day. I think it usually costs me around 200b in the morning from the clock tower area to the bus station, which I thought was kind of expensive. The same trip length in Pattaya would probably only cost me about 75b. I always take the free van so not sure what it is the other way.

I'd expect at least 17,000 change out of 16,000 budget if I was staying there...
I would never stay there. Strictly a very low budget place for people who can't afford anything better. Yes, 16k is super expensive for that place. Most go for around 10k or less. The room would have to be exceptionally well appointed to be paying that much there.

Does anyone have a recommendations for a good rented condo in the Pattaya area.
i) 40 - 60 sq. m.
ii) happy to be well away from downtown, 10 km away is not a problem
iii) maximum rental budget 16000 Baht per month
iv) good security for parking is a must. I have a nice motorbike.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Good parking and security doesn't really narrow it down. There are lots of options for that in Jomtien at that price. ViewTalay 5 Pattaya facing side would be my first choice but everyone is different. Probably difficult to find a decent place at a decent price at that place in high season but low season would be no problem.
If you don't mind staying where there are lots of families and like a really big pool then there are tons of options. Like Laguna 1, 2, or 3, or Seven Seas.

I prefer lemon. I find lemons last much longer in the fridge than do limes. Limes get hard and are dangerous to cut.
You must not be in Thailand. Lemons are way more expensive than limes and harder to find here. Limes taste better here than back in the west where they are picked when not fully ripe and shipped long distances, so they are a good substitute for lemons. No need to put them in the fridge here since they are so cheap and you can get them everywhere. Even in 7-11.

How about a link instead of just a rant?
https://suvarnabhumi.airportthai.co.th/service/way-to-airport/detail/suvarnabhumi_airport_SAT-1
It says the total time for the trains, including wait time, is 3 minutes. Doesn't sound too bad if true.

"That's not the real Thailand!"
I doubt they would know. Probably never even been to Pattaya except maybe as an alcoholic/sex tourist. Those are the only ones who seem to thing that is all Pattaya has to offer.

I use the VIP bus all the time. It's great that their buses have a good functioning and comfortable air con system.
But I've never felt that it was too cold inside or the need to cover myself with anything. Nor have I seen other passengers using blankets typically. YMMV.
It is often cold enough that I want to put on a sweater. Many others on the bus do the same. Carrying a sweater for airports, buses, and vans is standard operating procedure for any seasoned traveller.

Your information is very outdated. There are at least 3 high speed DC chargers on Koh Samui which is probably 3 more than you are likely to need.
I do not know of any PHEV that takes anything approaching 8 hours to charge. Most full EV's are typically charged in 5 or 6 hours. It is extremely rare to charge from 0% to 100% and on the mainland there is a plethora of fast DC chargers.
I am running into more and more of them everywhere. It will only keep getting better.

That can and does happen anywhere and everywhere. No need to beat your dead horse about Pattaya over it.

It's easy enough to say on here that it's no big deal. Totally different when you are in that situation yourself. I had a lot of my stuff in a rented room in Thailand so if I got denied on my re-entry it would have been a major problem. So yes, even just the possibility, standing there in that moment, was borderline traumatic. Not something I want to be put through again.

Hasn't moved in the last 6 years that I am aware of?
Old thread but I read elsewhere that both of the two people mentioned here are no longer around. One moved away and the other passed away. Does anyone have any recent recommendations of someone still around?

If you think Texas is in play you are not looking hard enough. Polymarket has Trump winning Texas at 94%. Realclearpolling has trump ahead by 7 points. Texas will be red.
don't expect Texas to turn blue, but the fact it's closer than usual says a lot about nationwide sentiment. I don't care what some GOP run troll polling outfit says.

He's shouting FASCIST at anyone who disagrees with him.
Not exactly highbrow stuff.
I remember back in the days of Brexit we had some good debates on the single market and customs union, trade tariffs, freedom of movement etc. It seems the left in America just want to scream NAZI/FASCIST. I guess it's easier. Quite sad to see.
Waaa...we support an unqualified convicted felon hitler fanboy for president and now everyone is calling us fascists and not taking us seriously some strange reason...waaa. 🤦♂️

Thanks, when I went to my Bangkok Bank branch to activate the Bangkok Bank Android app on my mobile phone, they checked my passport number in their system and it was correct. My Bangkok Bank Android app is working ok , its just that I can't log into my Bangkok Bank account using an internet browser.
Most likely you are using the wrong user/pass so quadruple check that. Also, try using the browser in incognito mode to make sure it's not an extension or something being cached in the browser.

I have always been able to use the app and the website and still can. I did have to go into a branch recently to have them re-enter my passport info to get the app working again, even though that has not changed.

His reply was with regard to Libre Office. No one is going to discard their Microsoft Office suite in order to use Google Sheets 😊 They might use it if they don't have access to a suitable version of Microsoft Office.
Millions of people have, myself included.
