I agreed Jomtien is easy and really good considering so many factors. But I am just itchy feet and thinking about exploring other type of lifestyle.

After a year at Jomtien, I am thinking about moving to other province - Bangkok, Udon Thani etc. I have things to consider - my agent assist non o visa, my Bangkok bank account at Pattaya branch, my vehicle purchased here at Pattaya car dealer and everything else. Anyone got experience to share?

Some people think victim are stupid but I think scam pray on one's fear or greed.

From paper straight to AI skipping paperless. 😀

When I came to Pattaya last year, I rented a car for almost 4 months from Expat Car Rent at the junction of Thepprasit and Thappraya road. Their service is alright and their fleet are quite new and clean compare to others that I saw. They have long term rates.

Just saying I don't like "something" instead of saying "something" is crap can avoid topic descend into argument in so many online discussion.

Thailand's millions of problem are systemic and "cultural". It will take decades and semantic changes if its even possible.

You can see live cam around Pattaya. https://ioc.pattaya.go.th/live-cctv/NC-108 to see live situation.

I have witness a few time the arrogance of these visa free low cost tourists talking down to Thai as if they are better than them, I am sorry, Thailand, you have a problem and its not these trashy import you allow in the country easily.

I used Cana, quite effective for most scratches. might work for paint remove.

I hope they fixed the squeaky toilet paper roll dispenser in all their toilet!

From my own research. I intend to park at car park zone 2 or 3 which is just across the terminal(less than 100m walk) All zone from 2-7 can park full day at 250b/per day. If i go away for more than 8 days, i think getting a taxi to and from airport is better cost wise. Assuming one is from Pattaya or nearer. I remember the last time i parked there, they issue a small hardly readable receipt. Best is to check with them. https://suvarnabhumi.airportthai.co.th/service/airport-guide/detail/All_parking_zones_at_Suvarnabhumi_Airport

Construction is still going on. The front part start from Dongtan looks completed but still dusty and messy the whole stretch till Chaiyapruek T junction.

Not only that, people get triggered with the answer they don't agreed or like.

I came to Thailand last April with a 1 way ticket. No problem for me.

I bought a Toyota Cross from a dealer in Pattaya, quite fuss free. compare price from 3 dealer in the vicinity and chose the cheapest one.

Never happened to me or rather I never check. Just be careful next time. We are in foreign land, its good to be careful whether at the cashier or on the road.

The Decathlon store at Lotus north has closed and move to the above new store.

I drive on this road regularly. I have seen vehicle on the right lane going for quite high speed considering just ahead you will have to stop for traffic light at Theprasit or the bottleneck at Pattaya South road. Its crazy to jaywalk on Sukhumvit road regardless.

Bus driver in Thailand are big bullies and some of them are murderers.

This incident has make it to UK news. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14235943/Brit-36-stabs-Japanese-tourist-death-notorious-Thai-resort-video-shows-pair-brawling-street.html

I did not use it with lazada due to reason nothing to do with WISE. Lazada wouldn't allow me to have an account because the Thai mobile number that I have is previously registered with another user and Lazada wouldn't want to do anything about as far as I know.

Strange for your case. I use WISE for shopee online no problem. I have physical card and on my apple wallet. I use WISE just like any other credit/debit card.

I have been driving here for 6 months now. Buses are big bullies and drive like they own the road. These supposedly "slower moving vehicle" are the king of the road, along with the usual Fortuners type speedster, oblivious food cart and suicidal motorcyclist.
