  1. The Aus embassy no longer issues these letters. It certainly was not known by the IO 12 months ago. Has it now been understood?????????
  2. Next the IO will be asking if the GF is a new GF. If so, need a letter from your wife.????????
  3. Similar problem this year @ Jomtien. Passport was ok (15 months new) but my updated bankbook only had 11.5 months of transactions (meeting all requirements.) Had to get old cancelled bank book & take photos of last 18 months transactions and the front page. Haven't come across this one in 10 years. It really does depend on the Immig Officer and the day. Lordy knows what the IO does with all this paper.????????
  4. Guess you haven't visited or lived in East Pattaya (darkside.) Pattaya is not just Pattaya city central. Wonderful area.????????
  5. I don't think anybody would feel safe, more peaceful or comforted with police strolling through the bar in any country. Yes, they are looking for money.????????
  6. Same issue with newly issued Aus passport last year at Jomtien IO. Luckily I had been clever enuff to photograph the Embassy receipt. That got me through.????????
  7. Don't forget to keep an eye out for those pesky 36 wheelers who flash their lights twice prior to going through a 10 second red light on highway 340 (doing maybe 120kph.)????????
  8. Agreed. Personal experience here says that you should not do any of these things in public, even if you are a couple. Behind closed doors is another matter.????????
  9. Nate said she is a keeper and wouldn't stray. How does he know she wont stray?????????
  10. That is my understanding too. A bit like pointing with your foot.????????
  11. Agreed. Small steps are important.????????
  12. "Thai health authorities"...... With a construction worker as Health Minister. Righto.????????
  13. I don't check the price. What is the point? I just ask for 500 baht (or whatever.) Sometimes the car is thirsty and the "k's remaining" doesn't seem to change. I always check that they put the correct baht in. Maybe a hole in the fuel tank. Yes, fuel was much more attractive when it was much cheaper.????????
  14. Where is here? Yes the smell of burning plastic is not pleasant.????????
  15. Agreed. Opened my front doors this morning to smoke. Never mind, all of the Songkran water guns will clear it. (Meanwhile neighbour is burning tree leafs.)????????
  16. If you haven't been out today but you noticed some big puddles in front of some bars, I can only assume you are in a condo upstairs. Good luck this next week(again.)????????
  17. Had a similar experience in New Zealand airport some 20 years ago. Put half of my airport cheese & ham sandwich into my backpack. Forgot about it and got bailed up big time by sniffer dog (who looked hungry) and Immigration Officer (who was too fat to be hungry.) Learnt a lesson.????????
  18. Not sure how 33c can feel like 44c. But if it fits the narrative. Does minus 10c feel like minus 21c? I really don't know. But yes......it is hot.????????
  19. "Not a soi dog to be seen". Correct. But walk out the front gate to go to Mom & Pop store and they soon round me up. Day or night. Time to stop walking. PVC pipe essential.????????
  20. ....or what officer on any given day?????????
  21. Protect your valuables every day of the year.????????
