Unless I am mistaken, the Thai national anthem still proudly declares that every piece of Thai land is owned by Thai people. เป็นประชารัฐ ไผทของไทยทุกส่วน... Until that changes, I would be suspicious of anyone making claims that foreigners can own land here. Just saying, na'

Pattaya Beach water quality has improved dramatically in comparison with what it used to be like when I first came to Pattaya, 25 years ago. Back then, with a 4ft sewage outcrop belching filth from the bowels of hell into the sea at the end of the old Navy pier (near the entrance of Walking street)... we were less worried about pollution and more worried about the sea catching fire ????

'20% tourism levels' ... 'The next high season' ... Maybe. In 2022 ????

Is it just me... or are there some serious kill-joys trying to make a bid to turn Thailand into an alcohol free country where all music and public fun is banned? In my minds eye, is a vision of government house, populated by glum faced Quakers tut-tutting over every one caught smiling. 'Burn them at the stake' ...

Apart from a translation, my degree certificate, UK ACPO background check and divorce certificate all needed an 'Apostille' attached to them. I hired a legal firm in the UK to carry out this onerous legal task for me. Word of advice:- insist on having a member of your UK legal team hand carry any important documents to the Thai Embassy in London for any necessary admin processing and stamps - They informed me that while queing to get in the Thai embassy, there was one guy from Thailand in the que who had sufferred the Thai Embassy(UK) loose his original degree certificate and other important documents 3 times before he eventually bit the bullet and travelled all the way to the UK so as to handle the Thai Embassy visits himself...

Hello All... Here is my live report I travelled from Pattaya to Bangkok SVM Airport today 31 July 2021 with a bus full of the Sandbox 'New tourists' - I drived them there myself so as to able to handle any <deleted> the Thai goverment migtht try to throw at our 'happy group'.... well... There was NOT ONE road block/check point - even though we had all registerred on the BS govenernment web site for inter province travellers, At the BKK SVM airport - not one hand wash dispenser worked - all the medical staff looked bored. Really bored. Bangkok SVM Airport was a complete ghost town. No shops open 'ZERO' were open. ZERO. Its finnished. The Airport and its tourist services are non-existant. /// Some one, somehwhere is looking at zero tax revenue, zero rental income. Billions... Maybe trilions of revenue gone missing.

First rule when dealing with bureaucrats worldwide... 'Give them the pieces of paper they want and they will give you the pieces of paper you want'
