Sun is busy now. air good. 900/mn There is also coco gym (air) in Mike's mall and 24/7 Fitness (half gym is air) all within same vicinity of central pattaya. if in Na Klua, you can go to the Muay Thai training gym across from Terminal 21. Weights usually not busy, only the thai boxing area busy. if in Pratamnuk, Human strong (usually empty) and Muscle factory (best gym, big, modern...but I'm told it's like a bunch of fitness models in there lol). All gyms this area no AC. or pick a condo complex that has a little gym to rent at.

try FB marketplace from personal sellers. Might as well check lazada pricing too. All brands pretty nice now if you are not looking for the latest and greatest tech. Just make sure if you buy an offbrand that it has the features you want. For example, I'm in a rental and I think this is a 60 inch, or maybe 55 Hisense. For example. Pic is good. But I hate that it has no blue tooth so we cannot connect a good sound system to it and the internal speakers are really bland (to us). One quick search of google on the search page shows 55 Hisense 4k LED's going for 10k to 13,000 baht new. That is without any deal shopping. Plus, it's almost new year and after christmas, so many many many sales going to happen in electronics so you should be able to get a steal.

or the junkier. No F's given when driving a turd.

I've thought about driving myself, but I really don't want to be DRIVING 8 hours either if I can be on my laptop or phone or such making use of the time.. if it were 2 hour trip both ways and I can see driving though. sorry. Hope you can get teh overstay wiped off due to the illness

that reminds me. I need to move to Arizona for my next US drivers license and I'll be set for 40 years in the states.

Looks like @Hellfire was deported. He never made it back into the forum at least lol

How was this trip and how long the drive?

Do you have any agents recommended in Pattaya for an "organized" run with guarantees?

how did it go this time?

I take it you like Cambodia better? Where abouts?

I don't think vaccine or even covid tests are any longer part of requirements for Cambodia entry for land or air. I'm intending land. https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/asia/cambodia

@ OP. getting CC's is seems near impossible. I've successfully gotten ONE out of 6 sent by my banks. #1 Solution: Go get yourself a thai bank account immediately. Bangkok bank has the least hoops to do, basically just a residency cert. Or pay an agent $100 to set on up where ever you want. Getting money transferred from wise and remitly is a godsend for lack of high fees. Also kills all the $20 ATM fees I was paying with my USA debit card after both sides extracted their blood. But the bank apps are great and even all the street vendors take payment this way. Oddly...only 7-11 doesn't , but you can use rabbit pay WITHIN the app. Don't concern yourself with that at this time. #2 Short term solution: Send yourself money thru remitly to a local bank: https://remit.ly/115ga6kz that is a referal link. You and I both get $20 in you use it to send yourself $100 or more first time. Exchange rate is very competitive, only a $1 fee. #3 I just found this out and now have all my cards in it in case I need to use them locally: get your Credit card/ debit card number from someone at home. You can then input them into your apple wallet (Google has Google Pay, I believe). You do not need your physical card. You just put this in your phone and it's easier than using the bank app even. **however, unless you using an international card, many banks will charge you upto 3% international fee on top of whatever you purchased. <deleted> thieves. Best of luck man. Wish I knew how easy it was to get thai bank account here earlier. Would have saved me a TON.

is that done at the border, or something done online? or option C This will be my first land border crossing since being here. Thanks UbonJoe ????

I was thinking more about will this get the attention that a woman at 4am was groped on walking street got by the police.

thought about that myself. @DrJack54 is there any paperwork required when going from here to cambodia and back? or just stamp into cambodia and stamp back into Thailand?

IDK. maybe he open to a weekend vacation at the beach before doing run. I think round trip flights less than 2k. Kill 2 birds with one stone for same prices he mentioned. just info he can assimilate and make decisions with.

Pattaya to Cambodia run is 3000 which includes the immigration fees. nit sure how cramped or uncomfortable the ride. but another agent does them for few thousand more where you share a car instead of van/ bus

Are you the guy that rents above the bar and has a fire pole in the floor to get to your saved bar seat quickly?

If you get fined you get ticket that gives you two day get out of jail pass if pulled over again, no new fines

This is not a war, this is a fascade for something else. Russia is the #2 military force in the world and could crush Ukraine in a few days if it were war. They are all playing chess and people debate on it as they only can comprehend checker board-level moves.

seems dumb way to get rid of but I truly don't know proper safety protocol/checks for animal products to end consumption. but surely there is a more useful way to utilize it than bury it all.

While despising google and limiting as much as I can. Especially for searches for information There is nothing that compares to their local offline biz search and maps out there unfortunately. I am currently unable/willing to give those services up at this juncture .

To be honest, I've had mine for 10 years or so and I'm not sure of the exact process anymore. But more than likely yeah you'd have to trust someone with passwords to do it for you. **what vpn did you use? Some are just plain overused and get warnings in their own right when you use them. I mean, the sites, etc know you are on a vpn when using that vpn.

have someone at home sign up for you or use a VPN

Data collection is happening all around you on every device now 24/7. Where you go Where you've been. What you've been messaging about is even open to the platform owners data collection and censorship. All those TOS that you agree to to use the phone and app you agree to let it happen. There is no newsbreaking story to write about when it's in TOS you agree to. All this info is bought and sold in the open market daily. Hardly a conspiracy or secret. Sorry to disappoint you.
