Pretty keen observation....been on the steady slippery slope downward for ages.....once in a full moon I will saunter down Soi Sex (6) and will see a few stunners just to remind me of the good ol' days......lol....????????

Just go down Soi 6 in Pattaya....they ladies are so freaking hot....why not rent a coin operated gf and be done with it....????????

Amazing the Fast Track corridor wasn't swamped. ????

 

Did you come back on a re-entry permit? Tourist Visa Exemption? SETV? METV?

 

Unless you have some unusual entry patterns otherwise unsupported by valid visas, I can't see why you need a folder full of documents or expect anything other than a smooth entry. 

 

 

Just a 30 day entry visa.....and the folder with lots of paper because...TIT!!!!????

Fast track was quiet because they had two lady screeners checking everyone's documents....cuts out the thrill seekers.....????????

Making my way back to LOS after a spell across the pond for a 30 day vacation and look around....just  to make sure to take the worry out of the equation....came to Swampy Immigration with a folder full of documents....proof of outward bound flight, copy of hotel reservations, 20,000 THB in my pocket, etc., etc.  Used the Fast Track Lane as I am over the ripe old age of 70.....was the first one in line....greeted with a smile and no raised eyebrows as the Immigration lady went through my well worn passport with umpteen canceled retirement extentions and multiple entry visas....quick stamp in the back of my passport and Bob is your Uncle.....bag was waiting for me as was my driver, so from the time I left my seat on the plane from Tokyo to putting my head on the pillow in Pattaya was just a shade over two hours....????

My guess is that it will somehow be a shi*t storm when I leave.....just cannot be that simple and direct! ????

as long as you really have some money retirees are more than welcome here..

They welcome me with open arms each time I make the trip to LOS....????

Good grief, God?  Best fiction story going....????

Well, if Danang does not suit you one can always jump up the road to HoiAn.....pretty quiet spot in the road if that is your cup of tea...????

Once all the dust settles, we shall see....me thinks that they will raise the minimum requirement to a million baht in the bank sooner than later, just for fun...????

Yup, several times in the lift at the Hilton Hotel in Pattaya while trying to get to the EDGE for the buffet......emergency call button worked and the boys with the ladder were at the ready......????

I have found the BEST way to stay cool AND CALM is to leave the country and all the Songkran crazies far, far behind......????

I like the view view of downtown Las Vegas at the moment...????????????

If you live in or around Pattaya, it never stops...????????

Feeling bad in Pattaya?  It will go from bad to worse once your butt hits BKK....????

Most likely start tonight and end the end of the year....IF you are lucky? ????

Yup, I guess the local folks just got sick and tired of all the idiots and their stun guns......I have enjoyed Songkran for the past few years in the comfort of my hotel far from all the crazies.....feel better, look better, smell better....????????????????

Geez, like anyone would want to cut off the brain food for all the idiots doing Songkran.......????

 I bought cryptocurrency a few years back and made a killing.

I bought gold from 2001 and sold in 2012, made a killing.

 

I set up a dividend TMB SET50 account and got 18 % in 2017.

 

Buy XRP, the future world currency, it's still very cheap.

Love these comments.....bet you've been killing it for years....I smell B.S., go back to stuffing your mattress with your gains.....????

I was off of the radar for over 25 years.....when I landed back I the US of A was a nightmare with Social Security and Medicare, Medicare and the like.....most everyone had a problem trying to find me in the system.....some are still looking.....good thing I had my birth certificate in tow....was my life line for most mundane things in and about town.......good luck old timer...getting old sucks.....????

Always have a Plan B in your backpocket....and lots of cash in your wallet....after that it is a cake walk....????

I like my option of doing things in Lieland....I just have a coin operated gf and Bob's your Uncle.....end of story.....do not have to grow anything but my bank account....????????????

I usually figure Songkran starts in March and ends at the end of April in Pattaya......????

Not sure, the Pattaya City Expat Club is a pretty tight little group of guys.....maybe you just hang out in the wrong area of town...like WS?????

Shakedown time....reminds do me, mine asked for the 1 million THB, my counter offer was ZERO!  I walked!  ????????????????????

As a fellow Rotary guy, my take is just shoot them all.....and have Rotary pay for the bullets....????????

The best solution for me has been to head to the local Buakhao market amd buy a cheap thick blanket cover and just sleep on that....easy, peasy....????
