I got a car last Tuesday to pick me up from the travel agent I normally use and take me to Jomtien, at the same price as before 1.200 baht plust tolls.

I questioned the driver about the cost, since the new airport is a lot closer to Pattaya. He smiled and said "now a lot of traffic", which was true. Hopefully prices will go down after the works are finished.

Hi all.

Had found this forum some time ago, but I started following the messages only a couple of days ago. Reasons, more than obvious. A lot of interesting information.

I've just registered and hope to keep learning, getting information and throwing in my 25 satangs from time to time.

Stating the obvious: Delivering mass messages, not my thing. Best to all.

New posting in the forum, not so new in Thailand, although haven't been here forever. Greetings to all.

I know some Thais who have "life visas" for the UK in their passports. With his money and contacts, it should not be surprising that former caretaker prime minister Thaksin has one of those.

Good that he stays away and declares his intentions to enjoy some "well deserved" rest. It should help to keep the process peaceful. Surely there would/will be different views on how the rest comes to be "well deserved". Maybe that will be addressed in the future. It doesn't seem a top priority right now.
