Jomtien Immigration - still same? 30 Day extensions can only be done 1 business day prior?
Talk about lots of unnecessary responses for the poor guy wanting a simple answer. I did 4 extensions last year and did the day my 30 day expired as until the last one, was completed same day. The last occasion as seems to be the norm now, is you collect on second day. Therefore this time as I see noone else suggesting more days, like 5, I will begin 2 days before 30 day expires. Also arrive around 3 pm as their not so busy and your not going to leave with passport on the first day. They'll say come back next day to collect. Obviously over weekends or holidays then add days their closed.

Taiwanese tourism in Thailand set to hit one million mark
If there not smokers on arrival they soon will be. Smogers I guess they'll be called.

Thailand faces thunderstorms and high waves, north cools down
Bangkok to Pattaya hard to see anything through smog. Guess if it rains the smog clears and the haze falls. No doubt ending up in the gulf and streets.

Will new air-quality laws cure Thailand’s smog-driven health crisis?
Come to Thailand to get a pollution fix! Passing through Suvarnabhumi airport yesterday, didn't notice the pollution posters, welcoming me! Definitely obvious outside without advertising!

Cricket - England win, Australia lose
Aussies retained both the ashes and Frank Worrell trophy. Great cricket who ends up with the spoils? England still have a series to win for a change, save gloating till that ends!

Suvarnabhumi Automated Passport Gates Not Available for Visa Holders with Re-Entry Permits?
No automatic. I accept 2 departure areas either end departures, maybe it's the Thai airways end not the other, where normal prevailed but now liquids need to have labels of inside. New delay.

Bad experience using Bolt
I'd like to use bolt but put your location and destination and it's booked without quote. You cancel then get charged. What am I doing wrong?

Suvarnabhumi Automated Passport Gates Not Available for Visa Holders with Re-Entry Permits?
Checking baggage still slow and still fronted IO to be stamped out. Nothing changed for all the rhetoric!

Those Kebabs in Pattaya !
If you look closely you'll see loads of white fat between the meat. Rather an all meat even if more expensive. So stopped buying. Also some vendors use variables for lettuce.. cabbage? If I'm going to eat or buy it's just meat with minimal fat. Let alone find red tomatoes not green. There's authentic and copies. There cheap for a reason. Anyone know where can be authentic in Pattaya? Or dreaming.

Young Thai Man Returns To Work In Israel To Clear Debt
Might bear remembering that the talk re Thais being released, during the ceasefire, was, they were of no value. Many who accompany non Thais overseas, are treated similar, and some who leave in search of work, abused. Best not to be so fussy and be prepared to move about the province's, a safer option. More locals working in Pattaya now, than before covid. Never seen so much local faces, in the traffic.

Wise fee refunds
Installed the app. Still trying to understand it's use as I want to transfer funds from an Aussie bank to Thai bank. Why do I need their card? Can't I just specify an account to transfer from and to and walla? Any suggestions?

Has anyone done the application to get a visitor visa to Australia for their Thai GF/wife in the past couple of months?
Not for a long time but I doubt requirements have changed. Lots of paper work to justify and the Thai would need some English fluentcy plus their own funds. Need to have an income and therefore purpose to return if it's a tourist visa only.

Motorbike: Pattaya to Korat City
I've done it and continued to chaiyaphun and later the return. To laem chabang to the road from rayong to chaechongsow and then usual drag over mountains, kabinburi to nakon. Kept fuel topped up, would do it again. Plus I was loaded with belongings, suitcase and a few bags, took it easy and still beat the nakonchaiair bus that left after me. A challenge but had to the desire.

Western union
They don't like continued sending to people. For some reason the recipients are deemed inappropriate, even including self. I've changed emails in an attempt to restart but all got shut down. Over a long period. But as time went by their patience got worse and attempting to correct and justify always fell on deaf ears. Much the same booking.com! Supposedly providing a service, but fail to be customer friendly. Just too big an entity and convenience to respond to complaints. Recently booking.com getting bad press in Australia for slow refunds, joining the queue of many businesses to tied up with their popularity. Shame and sham them.
