Pattaya57

Seems a bit backward. Australia police clearance was online and a Certificate emailed to you. There is a tick box option to select a free hard copy certificate mailed to your address but no need to do it

Interesting that the MFA site you linked to says: "The visa fee is 10,000 Baht (or local currency equivalent if applying outside Thailand)" Surely that implies you can apply in Thailand?

If we have to leave 3 million baht in a Thai bank that would be pretty silly. You can easily get 5% in an Australia bank and what, get 0.8% in Thailand? That's losing 126,000 baht per year

Yeah I can not figure out why Sydney Consulate is so different to the Thai Embassy in Canberra. Sydney does make more sense though as if you're not in Thailand on a non-immigrant O/O-A you can't get bank account to put the 3 million in. I do like Sydney rogue rules though as I just got a tourist visa from Sydney without a flight booking or any accommodation booked and yet Canberra insist on copy of flight ticket in and out and 60 days confirmed accommodation

Thai Consulate in Sydney has O-X requirements exactly the same as the O-A except need A$150k in bank. So anyone applying for O-A might as well go for the O-X and get a 5 year multi-entry visa if they have the cash in home bank For info both O-X and O-A visa requires police name check, medical check, 1 year health insurance certificate and the 6 month bank statement

Thai Consulate in Aussie says needs to show $A150k in bank for last 6 months. You would only then need to show the same for renewal at 5 year mark so free to spend as you like up to 6 months before renewal

It's Bodega Bar on corner of 2nd road and soi 13/2. Prices have gone up 5 baht each drink since photo (first incease in about 6 years)

Could zero pools in UK have to with it's bloody cold there year round? Total opposite to Thailand. My Condo block has 3 pools

The general rule is police clearance for every country you lived in for last 10 years. To get an aviation job in my home country Australia I had to get police clearence from Bahrain and United Arab Emirates (but not Australia as hadn't lived there for 10 years plus)

Thai Consulate in Australia already asks for A$54,545 in bank for Non-Imm O-A. At today's exchange of 22.50 that's 1,227,262 baht

There's a road directly behind Grand Avenue Condo's but there's a 10 foot wall to climb over. Don't remember seeing any entrances other than the soi 15 one

What's the difference if people drink 10pm to 7am, or 10am to 7pm? I'd rather the day drinking

OP made up entire first post. What do you want moderator to do when it's all fantasy?

I saw a waitress bring a bag of clothes and shoes to the bar I frequent. I thought I'd do the same and the girls loved it. They obviously all have brothers, dads or boyfriends that would like the clothes so win win as they think I'm nice guy ????

Who are you to be so condescending? The proven liar thinks he's so far above others in Pattaya

Why do you care so much about a parked BMW that isn't yours and you don't live there?

I got my Tourist visa approved by Sydney today. Confirm no flight booking required as I made up return flights on application as well as no 60 days hotel bookings required. Life is good ????

I don't need a menu in my local. Sit down and ice cold beer Singh always comes to my table within 30 seconds without asking ????

So again, why are you posting in a Pattaya forum if it's your idea of hell? We don't need your Bible input

Yeah, 700k sounds very cheap to me... ...oh hang on, it's got an abandoned BMW in the car park...now 250k baht ????

Seems appropriate ???? https://www.facebook.com/reel/1333282354239119?s=yWDuG2&fs=e

If you don't live in Pattaya and think it's your idea of hell, why are you bothering to post in the Pattaya forum?

I've never run a business before and am a grumpy <deleted> that hates stupid people but I think opening a bar in Pattaya would be a good fit Any chance a death watch bar would give to me for free since they are obviously dead already by having to sell?

Isn't that the point, how would you be able to tell which set of books they provide

So OP, any update on why you lied about having to share a table with 2 drunk morons at Kilkenny Bar when it's not actually open anymore. Maybe add in why you needed to lie to create this thread as well. A reason why you make up stories about chang drinking morons may be helpfull to us Singha drinkers that haven't fallen as low as Chang yet
