If you've got a visa on file the IO will insist it is used on your first entry. You cannot pick and choose

Yeah, good point.

Some people climb Everest knowing they will die too. 

 

Yep, most of the flying falangs in Pattaya have a death wish. 🤣😂🤣

Warning for all those out there. At least a couple of bars in Cowboy are scamming punters.

I will not mention the names, due to Thailand's laws, but one is a reference to memory in French and the other is a time that 7Eleven stop selling booze.

 

Taking into account that I have been here 24 years and my mates are far from bar novices, and in their 60s. No one was drunk. This is not Patpong....

 

Order a lady drink and she brings two (a shot and a cola). In bars in Nana this is classed as one drink and costs about 200B.

More girls turn up and when you offer/say yes to a drink for the new girl, ALL the girls on the table get a shot and a cola, not just the extra lass. And the price of these lady drinks is 300B each glass, so you're looking at 600B/pop/lady.

There's a chitty/bill that the lady asks you to write your name on, but it's not like a bill in a plastic pot like normal bars. For me, it was in her bikini bottoms.

 

Then when the punters question 'what's going on here?' and it all kicks off, the management say 'you signed for it, and it's all on CCTV'

 

Two mates had one beer each and the bill was 4,300B but I negotiated down to the 3,000B that they had signed for.

Two mates and I had one beer each and the bill was 2,700B.

 

We all know that there are a few options to resolve the situation, and each has his own way. Yes it cost us a lot, and we made our feelings very clear in Thai language, and in a Thai way.

As I wrote, this is not Patpong and we have all been to many many bars before, hundreds of times and none of us were drunk. Yes, we should know better, but if we can get caught, others are likely to as well.

Strikes me, about time you silly old fools grew up. Not that clever and experienced are you 

Do you halfwits actually think these products are the real thing. Be very very careful what your putting in your body.

There are very few fully refundable tickets. Most tickets have penalties for no-shows, cancellations, changes, and refunds.

 

 

A throwaway on Thai Air Asia for DMK-PNH should be 2,000 THB or less.

 

 

Skyscanner issue tickets almost immediately. Print off PDF photograph it, use photograph combiner with original ticket. Then submit as E ticket. 

Can't you make a decision yourself. Absolutely pathetic grow up

Border pass can only be obtained if you live near the border and reason to go in and out regularly. Other Thais all need passports. 

B.S.

Thanks Ben and Denim.  I have done the drive/hotel/fly option during covid and it is ok but not needing the room for more than a night makes the whole process of arrive, check in and out almost as bad as the connecting flight process.  For this domestic travel I am going to try driving down.

 

My car is a Toyota hybrid and I use 6L/100km so 300km is 3L x 6 @35B = 630 THB minus 3Lx1 @ 35B = 105 THB. so 630 minus 105 is 525 fuel cost difference.  I know this is silly and does not reflect the true cost of driving but you did ask.  555

 

Thanks very much for your interest 🙏🏼

This backwater becomes my pathetic by the day

Can't remember I time, over the past 22 years, where I boarded a domestic flight WITHOUT my passport!!!

Neither can I, the idiots are paranoid 

Leaving it 2 days before is a bit tight. Horror stories from Jomtien immigration. Taking between 3 and 5 visits they don't want you doing it yourself trying to push everyone into the hands of agents. More wedge for them,  just horrible people that's why I never tip any of them bars restaurants anywhere

To clarify what I think you meant (?)

Visa is usable for 90 days from the date of issue (Date of grant)

Once entering Thailand one's duration of stay is maximum 60 days...note the use of days, not months - that's important, especially in a leap year!

Yes, your days of arrival and departure are included in the 60 day total

 

From my visa:

 

 

See my post above for my link to a VERY recent experience as it has changed since early 2023

 

No I meant the actual 6 months duration of the Visa
