It gets glowing reviews. I think I'll try this next time I'm in Pattaya

Especially since Opey only 1000 baht a night on Agoda. So that's actually not a discount at all.

Read the views for Nova Park on Google Maps. Very entertaining for the reader, not so much for the people who stayed there!

Checked it out, only available rooms currently are 1440 baht. Jomtien must be rocking at this time of year.

Sorry, I many any idea about how much per month?

Thanks, Thanks for the useful reply.

They have monthly rates?

How's the noise level? How's the nojse level?

I have a friend coming, plans to stay a month or more, and would like to do it in a decent residence hotel rather than an AirBnB. I scanned Everything Pattya but the places I found there were mostly in the cheap category -- maybe not good in terms of safety and convenience? In any case, I was wondering if anyone might have a recommendation for a monthly hotel in a reasonable location with a budget in the 15000 to 25000 range? Or just someplace that they have had a good experience with.

There's also a voice over that some may find annoying. I learned to like it though. And Vince Vaughn isn't my favorite but he captured this character well. He's annoying but he's supposed to be.

Is anyone going to take one for the team and tackle The Brutalist to see if its worth watching?

I'm watching Bad Monkey, which is about a suspended/ex-detective in the Florida Keys who is trying to get his old job back by investigating a wife for the possible murder of her husband for the insurance money. Based on a novel by Carl Hiassen, it's got a little bit of everything: romance, murder, family troubles, and some great locations (and a beautiful Mexican actress). Oh, and also a bad monkey. I like it anyway. Starring Vince Vaughn.

Has anybody tried using authenticator apps for avoiding the need for SMS codes?

Reddit has a crowd sourced list of 2FA codes that work with Google Voice

Joe has completely lost the plot. He's entered Rush Limbaugh territory on his way to Alex Jones. His show is one conspiracy rant after another. The other day he was ranting about fluoride. "It's a MF neurotoxin!". Joe's a prime example of how a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

Immigration guidelines, not laws

The fee was charged in January and it's 200 baht

And who's in a better position to do it than the owner of Starlink.

Well, there was a new charge of 100 baht right after I updated the passbook. I don't know what else it could have been for. And it's the first time I've experienced it too but before there were always update machines with the ATMS. Not anymore.

Hey, Musk kept telling us that all voting should be done in person and by hand. You think maybe he knew something?

I went into an SCB branch today to update my passbook. The update ATM was no longer there so I had to go inside and ask a customer service rep. Imagine my surprise, when I looked at my bank book afterwards and saw that they'd charged me 100 baht for the "service."

That's the charge for credit cards, I think. They sometimes add that on. I've never been charged for my debit card.

Cyber security experts are saying that voting machines were undoubtedly hacked and Musk was probably behind it. The result was that Trump stole the election, irony upon ironies. https://www.planetcritical.com/p/cyber-security-experts-warn-election-hacked

Trump doesn't have to care about what anyone thinks anymore. Now he can do exactly what he wants to do and by the time the American people realize they've been duped, it will be too late. Welcome to the Technopolis Surveillance State.

The same thing happened to me in Jomtien. The woman barber started cutting away without even asking me how I wanted it cut. It ended up being not quite a mullet, more a kind of flat top, the shortest haircut I've had in years. To be honest, I liked it though. And it only cost 200 baht.
