I hope you are joking? 

you need to go to satire dot com and do the online course 

my vote would have gone to 'laptop with external keyboard/mouse/monitor/hdd/speakers.

also i tried a bluetooth keyboard once, still got it actually,

but it lags, i bought another mini keyboard with usb connection, no lag

i cant comment on the technical bit, but for sure i would not risk

being without an account to my bank, which is what is going to happen the day she cut it.

be proactive and set up a new account

Pattaya Klang just up from Foodland or just pass Welcome Town on the right you will see one or two vans at times one of the larger mini buses you will see a office. Up further already noted the Gas Station on Sukhumvit

the place on klang above foodland almost at sukumvit does not go to ekkamai,

they suggested i try pattaya nua bus station.

the place inside gas station on sukumvit just after klang pointed me to sukumvit rd,

and that place between the gas station & sukumvit claim they go to ekkamai,

the minivans just stop there to pick up at the sidewalk of sukumvit

Thai people are very generous with those less well off, especially those in need of 17 baht more than they are. Well done shop assistant good karma coming your way for helping the needy.

its the spirit of covid shut down times, i see it all the time they support the less fortunate in these times

I beg to differ.  No tourists, no Chinese with their endless coach trips blocking all the roads. Empty malls, beaches clear mid week, it's a great place to be right now. So OP,  absolutely skip the holiday.   

now that not everyone is hunkering down in their condo, the traffic is right up to the usual jam,

if not more so on pattaya tai. i guess i cant comment on going out drinking,

but the rest is down so i expect the gogo's too arent in party mode

There is a minibus stand on Pattaya Tai (South Pattaya Road) between Wat Chai and Thai Military Bank. In front of Center Condo.

yes, i have seen it, but most of them are going to airport, bang na or something like that,

in worst case scenario they will still get close to skytrain so either will do,

but ekkamai is near nana which is my end destination

If the backs of bus seats are too low, you must be well in excess of 2m tall ?

But as said many times,the bus drivers are far far safer drivers..

I doubt if mini van seats are any better.

 

yes, minivan back support can in fact be worse then nothing at all,

i'm just hoping i will get an old fashion one when they could build it to adequate standards,

else i will suffer twice as much

i suspect he had a higher speed then what friction with the road allowed at this particular time

Take a small cushion or maybe could use one of those inflatable jobs. Adapt or die

the back support is too short, nothing can be done about it.

...and i think i found another location better suited for me,

on sukumvit from pattaya tai its a gas station 40 meters later,

and right before that gas station on soi 48 is a minivan station,

i asked repeatedly if it was really going to ekkamai, and i got a confirmatory YES every time

there is graphs suggesting the states that were hit hard are on steady decline 

while those that got away with it arent getting away with it this time.

 there is no correlation to make out of mask enforcement.

at any rate, its retirees and especially advanced age retirees that fall victim

I find quite a few of the minibus seats are small and uncomfortable too , especially the single ones down the nearside. The trip is usually only 90 mins and I often get off before Ekamai to get on the Skytrain.

i am aware of it, its such exciting times to find out if the back support will be bearable or not

i predict the masses wont be coming at all,

its going to be for the most part limited to those that already made time in thailand tradition

Better arriving with an aching back than DEAD ! 

i chose death over this aching any day of the week,

and that is before i sit for hours in an undersized chair with inadequate back support

it gets horribly cold in january on ime

so i went to the gas station next to intersection central pattaya rd & sukumvit,

the girl in the hut pointed me to sukumvit outside gas station,

and the guy there at the entrance of gas station told me they head for ekkamai,

now i just hope he didnt just want to be helpful but actually meant what he said to the letter.

the minivan just stops at the side between sukumvit and the gas station

According to the map link, it is IN the gas station that is on the Northbound side of the Suk (Pattaya side of the highway). 

I've never tried using those minivans myself. It seems though that you'd be better off just taking the normal bus.

i really hate buses with a passion, the back support is too low,

anyway thanks for tip i will check it out, and hope by god its gonna get me what i want

According to Google, there are two spots around Central Pattaya road and Sukhumvit.

On spot is on Central Pattaya road, just before the off ramp leading onto the Suk (Northbound).

The other one is on the Suk, just down from the Central Pattaya rd intersection, in the Bangchak Gas station

If you are looking for an online website for those minivans, can't help you. 

The regular bus service from North Pattaya to Ekkamai is 119 baht: http://pattayabus.com/V2/en/from-pattaya/
 

 

 

hi, on central/klang just before sukumvit is one of the places i went to,

but they arent ending up in ekkamai.

on the other place on sukumvit at the gas station just after klang,

is that place on the same side as klang road or dark side ? and is it between klang and gas station or closer to nua ?

you need to forward this picture to the proper authorities right away.

 

or maybe its just a reflection of light and the angle you took the picture ? 

i was leaning on gravitational lensing from moons gravity field,

but moon just cant warp space that hard, so i am all ears for how the reflections came to be ?

im trying to find the starting point of a minivan going to ekkamai in bkk,

but all places redirect me to some other station except the bus station 

in pattaya nua that dont even bother to open the shop
