  1. Entered a decent restaurant in North Pattaya yesterday evening and enquired about this ne procedure. The first lady did not understand me and the second said 'ATK, what ATK', 'we do not know ATK', 'please come in'...

    As soon as there are enough customers....

    Traffic

    Have a look at the prices of motorbike taxis at Bolt. You will be surprised
  4. This is caused by the rich people burning their paper money.... Can take a long time before this is finished....
  5. To be honest, despite the paperwork I am very happy with the services of the Bangkok Bank on second Road in Pattaya. I don't mind the paperwork, it's all up to them as long as I get what I want.
  6. I have my reservations. I usually do not have my phone with me. Too afraid of theft or loss. There is also no need, as almost nobody calls me.
  7. In a relatively short time the landscape in Isaan has changed completely. Until recently it was green everywhere. Now that all the rice has been harvested the rice fields look dry with a brownish colour. Personally I love to go around. Made this picture yesterday.
  8. Could the plug and play modem from True / Dtac be a solution ? I have no experience but am considering to buy this as a back-up.
  9. Why are you afraid of flooding. Is it next to a river, is the area low lying, what is the history of flooding. Try to find a topographical map of the area to get and idea of the height of your land. You could also discuss this problem with the local puyay baan (sp ?).
  10. If the pressure is not sufficient you could consider installing a tank of say 1000 liter with a pump. Tank is filled with pwc water and the pump brings it from the tank to the house. Costs between 10k and 15k.
  11. Woke up at 18 degrees ! Really cold. The cold feeling has to do with the dewpoint I understand. Around 10.00 hrs it becomes more bearable.
  12. But I think it also included dumping the old tiles at an appropriate place....
  13. I know that an American guy was blocked from the Mantra Sunday buffet (in Pattaya) for eating too much.....
  14. Try to contact the Office of the Consumer Protection Board. This is quite a powerful and active body. Good luck ! Website : https://www.ocpb.go.th Complaint online : https://complaint.ocpb.go.th Contact us : Call 1166 , Email : [email protected] Provincial : City Hall in every province
  15. Last time when opening an account at scb I used the rental contract of my house as proof of address. Furthermore no problems with opening the new account.
  16. There is a forum for Buriram Expats. Not as lively as this forum but it has some decent info (sometimes). Just check on the keywords I mentioned. Have fun....
  17. Did the same this week. In and out (waiting to go in, 90 days, filling in extension form, making copies) about 45 mins later (including a nice smile from the ladie from the extension desk).... Next day collected my stamps. I had the impression that staff was waiting for me. I don't see the big problems.
  18. Thanks, but how does the level look like. Is this zone already in danger or should the water raise more before there are real problems
