Since when have Thai authorities shown any consideration for long term expats? on the contrary, it is much more the case that are making life increasingly difficult. //

Uh? It may be a bit difficult for those on Mariage extension (lot of documents!), but for those on Retirement it would be difficult to make it easier! One visit a year with 4-5 page of paper is not what I call hassle. (and again, problems coming from USA or UK embassies are something else)

The alternate-side parking on South Road in Tukcom area is a good thing. It took a very long time for people to accept and adapt to it. If police stops to enforce this rule in this period, police will have to restart from zero after theCovid period, with nobody respecting this rule...

I was in a disco on Saturday night completely full, no social distancing or masks inside except for the staff. So the comments of everyone wearing masks in Pattaya are incorrect. 

Uh? I thought that all discos in Pattaya were still closed (not authorised to open).

Did I miss some news about that?

Not Thailand driving on the wrong side of the road nice try though .

Not anymore. 

... but still a faked photoshopped picture.

Not difficult to see that blocks of lines have been duplicated

to make the streets look wider.

Doing online would be great if only it was working. Probably it will never function properly for people who got a new passport or those who are staying in the country for more than 10 years. ????

Uh? I am living here for more than 10 years, have to replace my passport at least twice during this period, and never* had problem doing my 90-Days reports online... 

*never, except one time when they closed the system during a few months, a few years ago.

Why did you bother [to do your 90-Days report] ? //

Because it takes just 3 minutes to do on computer,

and because it will avoid to have to go to the Immigration Office after Amnesty finished.

One visit a year to Immigration Office is well enough ????

Was the waterfall open?  is it still double price for tourists?  Welcome to the Selfie Zone! Sanook Mak!

Ok... And now be a little honest and tell us how many times a year this is happening... 

And second, tell us if you ever saw that not-after a strong rain who caused overflow in many rain collectors.

Sure it's a bad thing than need to be fixed. But that only happen a few times a year after an exceptional deluge. It's certainly not a frequent "waterfall"

Are you being serious ?

I have never left an Immigration office without leaving a "tip".

I am serious! I have NEVER left a tip in Immigration in 20+ years !

(only exception could be the 200B for the occasional Attestation of Residence for DL renewal)

VISAs is the MFA's way of making money.

Extensions are immigration offices way of making money. //

And brown envelopes are their employees' way of making money.

- Never heard of brown envelopes in Thai Embassies or Consulates ??

- Very rarely heard of such envelopes in Immigrationgration Offices. I read about a few cases on this TV forum, but clearly it's the exception, not the rule.

Two companies selling the same product, up to you which you buy from..

Uh? These are not the same products!

And you say it yourself: Visa vs Extension. Very different.

What is the obsession with new infections?

The death rate in Spain, highest in the world,

was 660 people per million (0.00066 percent).  //

Uh? Spain death rate is not the worse!

Belgium mainly, and UK have higher death rates...

See by example: Coronavirus (COVID-19) deaths worldwide per one million population

I doubt the tree will survive the transplant.

Why? If done correctly nearly all transplanted trees survive 

And looks like they made it right here.

You can see they preserved a big part of roots with its soil/ground.

He will just need some support to stay vertical in its new location,

and someone to check its need in water during a few months.

There are between 750,000 to 1 million unsold cars sitting in German dealerships, the vast majority of them are conventional petrol and diesel cars and no-one wants them as majority of people are moving to an electric vehicle if they are thinking about purchasing a new car

Big exaggeration !

Sure that many buyers think about electric or hybrid, but did you see the price of electric vehicles ?!!!

Still many years where majority of people will continue to buy conventional petrol cars.

Whats the use of your own 'serving' spoon and fork?

In Thailand once they have been in the mouth they go straight back into the shared food! Nothing is mentioned about separate eating utensils.

Uh? Did you never learn to eat properly?? 

Only the spoon must go to your mouth, not the fork,

and you must use your fork to take any food in a shared plate.

Brexit had a bad start, thanks to Sister Theresa and Boris the Clown, four years to get out and still in!

Funny how so many Britishs are still not aware that UK is no more in EU !

Nobody in UK to tell them that Brexit is done already? 

Google:

When did the UK leave the EU?

Hopefully you don't have to go to Banglamung Hospital for a dog bite, my mate was here from Brisbane  a few years ago and had Tetanus injections into his fingers,cost....Bht 10.000.00!

Sorry but I am tented to call that full B.S. ... 

Why?...

Because I was unlucky to get a severe calf bite by a soi dog in last November.

I went to the public Banglamung Hospital.

- first bill was 645B including care and dressings, anti-Tetanus and first shot anti-rabies

- bills #2, 3 & 4 were 256B, for successive anti-rabies shots

A total of about 1'600B only ????

Edit: I see now it was an already old post. But still, Banglamung Hospital is the best choice for many cares in Pattaya

I didn't find any recent data with Google.
