Only a matter of time for casinos in Thailand.

 

Pattaya could very well go the same way as Sihanoukville - Cambodia.   

 

Pattaya - The Las Vegas of Thailand.

  

Hello.

Oh, i'd forgotten about this..... will this prediction be as 'correct' as the downfall of Pattaya - lol.

How long have you been predicting this now? has it happened?

Which is still quite a lot for an average tourist only staying for a few weeks.

Especially when you consider that for a family, it's per person, and the ramifications of failing the "Day 5 test"

As i've ( and others ) have stated many times it's not worth it for regular 'tourists' for long stayers it's acceptable.

Everyone has their own agenda.

It was you. 16 hours ago. Post is still up. 

He asked about the 15K, not me.

On another thread you ask about the 15k minimum balance for hotel to a poster. They prove it to you and don't respond. You can't even use several email addresses like a Hotmail account with no explanation. Some people have waited weeks to get approved. The sight was hacked........  but you must be perfect.  

It was n't me that asked.

Apology accepted - lol.

It's worth bearing in mind that in the car crash that killed Princess Diana, the only one to survive out of the four occupants was the guy who was wearing a seat beat.

What's a seat beat - lol.

But yeah, normally a seat belt helps to save lives or reduce injuries i agree, this is a horrific head on though.

All i needed was passport, no bank book.

Probably not wearing a seat belt.

Judging by the state of the vehicles it's unlikely a seat belt would have made much difference.

That does n't make sense, there's loads of 2 day packages available for less than 15K.

Where does it say that on Thai Pass?

Is this for T and G or 5/7 day quarantine?

18k for 7 day v 12k + your 5 day stay and meals  for T& G

T & G can get for <9K

2 day hotel packages 5 days between is not free and vaxed or not on arrival no different

Extra documentation and moving hotels/locations is not what i want in my first week

I think if you dont have a condo, same same but up to u...

Nothing is free.

2 days against 5 or 7 will be much cheaper.

But yeah, up to you, i will do day 1 and day 5 test with T & G.

positive or close contact on arrival under any option for internationally vaxed foreigners is a risk, but the 5 days would need near isolation to be sure for the final test is neg.

Better imo, to arrive as unvaxed less complicated 1 hotel inc everything no vax cert detail issues, ie missing passport # or name not exact as in passport

Lots of certs have social security no. as the main identifier

Non vaxed 7 days.

This would be quite a bit more expensive than test and go.

Last two years i have been told to come back on exact date mentioned.

It's always been ready.

I am not a tourist so have visa might consider 1 week quarrantine probably a better option

Yes, so long as you're confident you'll arrive with a negative test this a more secure way 'hopefully' eliminate getting covid between day 1 and day 5.

I think it's only 5 days you'd need to do.

Your glass half full attitude on TP is so out of focus we all can just laugh. Lol. Lol 

Can we, pls explain why?

Was easy last time, why would it be difficult this time?

Have you any experience with it? did you find it too hard?

Does it really matter if the Thailand Pass hasn't come through by the time of departure from Thailand?

Thai pass is for entry TO Thailand not departure.

You'll be asked for it at check in from wherever you're travelling FROM.

As someone said, the ride to Chantaburi is ok once you can join the coastal road.

Check out Peggy's Cove at K Wingman ( think that's the name of the beach ). A very unique hotel, nice quiet area to hang out at.

Little bit further you can get a photo at the thinest part of thailand, i think 4kms.

Fortunately any Thais engaged in the "red light" trade around the world are more than likely to have excellent English, so Thai language skills will be redundant.

Awrite for a bit of fun tho.

I can't think of any reason why Thai would be useful outside Thailand.

Totally agree.

Very ignorant argument.

I think becausevyou are <deleted> at it, you think it's "compmicated" and of course Thsi is useful outside Thailand. It doesn't compete with English but it has its uses...you just don't know about it.

Which other countries speak Thai where it would be useful?

It's handy in red light districts throughout the world tho!
