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.

Western union
Western union hopeless at dealing with for anything. Eventually got better alternative. Good luck

Senate votes against police request to question Senator Upakit Pachariyangkun
All thanks to the last PM. Who himself made sure he's beyond retribution. Can only hope in time farcical constitutional inclusions by previous govts, get withdrawn and the will of the majority gets its way, if a genuine democracy is to exist.

experience with prostate biopsy
OMG Gleeson score. The memories flood back. I've forgotten whatever mine was. We're talking 13 years ago and after 6 then 12 months blood tests, yes, regardless of its use now, no other cancers. Yes just did BC test free, even less invasive. Hope a no result. The helper at Peter Mac, lost his testicles, my brother his prostate. So at 55 then, whatever the inconvenience. I'm still alive, which my father failed to get checked early enough, and in 2002 died from that cancer. I was a fortunate and alert. Strangely at the time, I needed Hep A and B injections, which required 3 doses. I developed a rash after 2. I asked doctor to check immunity after 2 and got alerted to high PSA. The rest is history but alive to encourage even over 40 or 45 the odd check or be alert.

experience with prostate biopsy
Following the biopsy where I had 24 samples, basically painless, as anaesthestize the area, next few times you ejac.... blood comes out, obviously as prostate just been made a pin cushion. First, I had high PSA, but x-ray whatever, scan no signs, then six months later did biopsy and after a sample showed cancer, had gold pins inserted in prostate, so to concentrate treatment. 35 sessions later and some 13 years, reduced, well everyone post treatment probably repairs differently depending on sex life, but maybe over all worse off, but cancer free. In brief.

Voice referendum: Lies fuel racism ahead of Australia's Indigenous vote
Thailand government is a classic example of too many cooks spoil the broth, and of how many can differ on progress. More unlikely as most referendums in Australia, this will fail, bar anthem, and the divide remains unchanged, regardless of the constant hype surrounding, indigenous and fair. Given at every bend, little progress. This is just more hot air and associated waste of tax payer dollars, again. Thanks Aussie pollies.

Did you get surgery in Thailand to repair a hiatal hernia ?
I've had mine for years and repair back home soon. However as often is the case, with so much assistance here, I had no idea stomach issues were related, well aware of those, but take milanta tabs, which I break in 4 sections, and use until improved.

Visa Agent Recommendations - to get Laos gf a Australian tourist visa
Same as above. Been there did that and never again. So much documentation and you have to be prepared to put sufficient if she's unable, funds in her account, plus show that evidence. Could you trust her if you split in the first month. I chose 3 months, but after one month, too much responsibility when they get homesick and demanding. But felt justified to put sufficient for a return flight, which I had to book and ensure they were on that flight back. Then funds for the privilege on return. A nightmare of proportions. But good luck with Australian embassy and agent. Possible all the same, , but don't be in any rush. Give it 3 or more months to occur, as you need flights booked there as evidence, even if you fail.

Thai network petitions for home-grown cannabis and 5-year import ban
Legalise something and you get a list of problems that keeps getting longer. Ban it and get rid of the problems permanently. Easy fix.
