Have you ever seen a Thai care home? no electricity after 9pm, no running water at night, absolute hell holes.

Yeah mate, the country runs on expats!! They are the golden goose!

No mate, I’m sure you are a golden goose. expats in Thailands really are the backbone of the country

Ha ha, good lord. Describing the sad old soaks who retire to Thailand as the “Golden Goose”

He took no gamble whatsoever, the people who own the bars did and it doesn’t look like it’s paying off. Well, unless the bars are being used for another purpose.

Where did I claim to be his friend?

They are all crap

Well I’m not on Facebook and I know him personally from his days as the Assienda

Imagine thinking Nick Dean is a name to drop? he’s a YouTuber. Just a normal bloke in Pattaya scraping a living

Did you just describe Nick Dean as a tall poppy? good lord, will screengrab that. He’s a YouTuber that’s all, I know him, he will tell you this after a few beers

He makes money from his members and the people who send him money in those “super chat” things he does. a fool and his money, etc

They are marketed different and they do the live streams from there, but they are exactly the same as all other bars in Pattaya. Bored girls sat around waiting for customers to walk past. They are empty most nights

He really doesn’t. He makes YouTube videos in Pattaya and occasionally hangs around the bars he fronts

No, he doesn’t own anything and never has. He’s just a YouTuber. I knew him when he was fronting the Assienda. He doesn’t even claim to own anything

Nick Dean neither owns nor manages any of “his” bars. They all belong to Flowers

Sampanthamit was positively thriving as of a few months ago. Many bars have changed hands, but it was a good night out

Yep, there isn’t any use by date on it anywhere cheers

Dtv just approved with start date of today. Do I have to use it within 3 months or is it valid from today and can be used on a few months time?

You boys really love to over complicate or just not bother to read the requirements. you don’t need to have a single penny in a Thai bank and there is no requirement never to go below 500K THB in your own currency

Have applied with my UK bank statement and confirmation from a Singaporean company saying I am employed as a consultant. let’s see what happens

Just booked a fast track departure today. Hope it’s honored

I was taken into a room at BKK last year and questioned about multiple entries over the years and the long stay during Covid. They were fine when i showed them my onward ticket. You never know but I wouldn’t try it without a valid return or onwards

Took a bout 75 mins to get processed but they were great. No questions and did the photocopies I forgot to do for free and she corrected a couple of mistakes I made on the form. could not have been nicer

Young Male guy at the desk and an older male who pulled me to the questioning area, and I was using fast track

Had some grief last year at BKK while entering on Visa exempt. Pulled aside and asked questions. It was disconcerting but probably overdue. Had a lot of covid extensions and an expired B visa from a brief period of employment here. Also a handful of visa exempt entries from that year. Flown in twice to Phuket this year with “minimal” questioning on Visa exempt and plan to take a 2 month break From Thailand to get a tourist Visa from UK (will then not visit Thailand again until 2025) Hope I don’t get any problems next time around. Would recommend avoiding BKK There is no “proper Visa” I can get, before anyone starts.
