What's lurid about wearing swim wear on a beach ?. Surely in Australia that's normal on Bondi etc. It's great news the expanded beach is still there and pulling in the locals and tourists bringing business to the city.

Thanks, I'll wait and see whether they ask for all the additionals as it's a few.

Did you have to provide copies of all the previous extension stamps ? Thanks for the list, about to do the transfer exercise myself.

How are you going to learn from this experience, what are you going to do differently in future to ensure you receive urgent healthcare when you require it ?

September's official tourist numbers should be released this week, wouldn't be surprised if it's the first month this year that shows a decline, August barely increased from July. Not surprised some realists in authority are expressing concern given the low base of current numbers.

I got my Covid injections for free here in a well organised professional process, certainly grateful for that experience of Thainess.

Was going to use them myself, any particular reason you wouldn't used B-Quick ?

Received my email today that mine was ready for collection, 11 weeks and 2 days.

Not surprised you're missing the point when you can't even work out how quote a post correctly.

Could it be the receipt for payment mYBE, I've had that before with re-entry permit payments

From what I've read whenever this topic comes up 1 bank in particular is always mentioned, I would never use said bank as a result. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence as a depositor in their internal control systems and the checking of them from within.

Thanks all for the helpful replies. ????

Using this thread to ask if anyone knows the best place in Pattaya/Jomtien to get replacement A/c remote controls, my A/c's are LG. I guess the cleaning guys would know, just wondered if anyone has had to replace theirs.

Out of curiousity if you are okay to share how did the occupancy % turn out on the first attempt ? Hopefully you'll get a smooth and successful run next time.

The OP - YOU - posted an incredibly helpful link to an agent that apparently handles renewal of US passports. I'd recommend it's probably easier and quicker to take your own advice and contact them directly with all your questions.

" Where Westerners met local women " - sleazy sex prowlers negotiating with street hookers, it must be uncomfortable for them now with no shade.

I once saw in recent years a pick up truck from a well known late night venue in the middle of walking street, ( the exterior was emblazoned with their logos ), offloading a full load of the woman with kids gangs, (Cambodians ), in walking street late at night. It must be a big earner and clearly an organised operation. Expect Pattaya to fill up with the nefarious as we enter high season, 2 1/2 years lost tourist income applies not only to legitimate business, and worth bearing in mind the police have likely lost out more than most.

As well as the expansion of U-Tapao, fly them right in.

Don't expect to, which is why Leaver can only continually deflect, go off topic, speculate generally about the future rather than produce any compelling current real world evidence of a significant change in the viability of the Pattaya hospitality scene. No-one denies the odd place will close as per normal.

Economically it will have a positive effect on not only surrounding businesses but the city overall by bringing in more customers. You only need to look at how modern day Las Vegas transformed itself through a casino plus entertainment based model to see the benefits it could bring.

I was referring to posters on this thread on this forum, weren't you in your original post ? The fact you keep having to ask posters to name bars they've been to that they thought were busy rather than them voluntarily naming them doesn't sound like owners pushing their business which was my point. Virtually all the posts refer to bar areas rather than specific businesses.

I went for laminate flooring when I bought my condo from new, one of the companies selling in Homepro, ( Leowood ). I can't remember the exact fitting cost but I don't think it was anything as high as that so I'd recommend double checking in person in-store. The one thing I forgot to do was to buy some extra pieces for potential damage replacement, I can't get an exact match now.

I think we've seen during Covid that those with vested interests in the bar industry here have set up their own social media channels communicating quite effectively and directly to their customer base, I've never got the impression that posters on here are anything other than customers.

I daresay those coming this high season will appreciate the lack of Chinese tour buses clogging the place up, like you I prefer Pattaya without that aspect of tourism growth. A few years ago the growth of Pattaya tourism was qualified by those unhappy to see the city doing well that it's down to the Chinese and Russians and they are not big spenders, now the numbers are down the absence of those supposedly low spending Chinese and Russians are a disaster for the city. What a u-turn. ????

I rest my case.
