When you come to Pattaya,you need to wear a bulletproof best at all times ,also make sure you are armed and never ever walk alone after lunchtime,especially down beach rd ,there are lots of Indians who will acost you ,and blue pickups with seats in the back ,they will honk their horns and ask you to get in then try and get as much ofyour money as they can,beware it is an evil place ,and don't get me started on the Russians up in Jomtien
If you're old enough to know better.... why write such crap ?

"It shouldn't be a big deal for anyone. I wouldn't go into a government office in Australia dressed for the beach. Why would anyone think you can do that here. Respect is universal."
Me thinks you haven't been to a Centrelink office on the Gold Coast or Cairns district recently.

Thais attach a stigma to shorts.
You think ! Maybe in BKK but in the part of Isaan I reside no problems whatsoever. Most of the neighbors, Thai male, wear shorts into town for hospital, visit, banking & government business.
Just saying..... Mal.

Dress code for sure, but be sensible about it. I see nothing wrong with short sleeve, ironed, collared shirt..... not polo shirt. Tailored, knee length shorts. Enclosed sandals.
Pity the airlines don't introduce some sort of dress code. I fly dress as described as above. I don't consider it acceptable to see pimply, sweaty arms & shoulders & dirty smelly feet old in old flip flops. But that's just me.
Immigration & for that matter, all government offices suggesting farang show respect by way of dress. Does such respect extend to not demanding, accepting under the counter payment ? Silly me for thinking such a thing.

I doubt if an farang or half intelligent Thai would disagree that the RTP, in the main, are ineffectual as far as traffic & road safety is concerned.
You don't need to intentionally break the law to prove your point.... it's a common know fact.
Something along the lines of " two wongs don't make a white"

Fax (short for facsimile), sometimes called telecopying or telefax, is the telephonic transmission of scanned printed material (both text and images), normally to a telephone number connected to a printer or other output device. The original document is scanned with a fax machine (or a telecopier), which processes the contents (text or images) as a single fixed graphic image, converting it into a bitmap, and then transmitting it through the telephone system in the form of audio-frequency tones. The receiving fax machine interprets the tones and reconstructs the image, printing a paper copy.[1] Early systems used direct conversions of image darkness to audio tone in a continuous or analog manner. Since the 1980s, most machines modulate the transmitted audio frequencies using a digital representation of the page which is compressed to quickly transmit areas which are all-white or all-black.Whats a FAX ?

You mean its like the gramaphone of the communications world grand dad ? Or the precusor to email ?
Up until now I've considered you somewhat genuine & a legitimate human being. Starting to think otherwise.
OP asked a reasonable question. Why such a smart arse response ?
For what it's worth, I know several older generation who can operate a fax but have no idea or desire to upgrade to computer. They can still communicate in almost "now time" instead of snail mail. At least they are doing their best. Maybe you'll be old one day.
OP, PM me & I might be able to help with fax on line for you.
Soupteel.....sober up, this isn't your usual self.

It never ceases to amaze me how many continue to complain about 90 day reports. Yes, I agree, waste of time & serve no legitimate purpose other than to let us know "they" are in control. BUT, it has been the rule for decades. You knew about it before you settled here. If going to immigration is too much trouble, post or online is available. If this is the biggest gripe you have in life you are doing extremely well.
Cheers..... Mal.

Bought a Weber ( round charcoal grill) knock off, at Global for 1400 Baht. That's all you need.
of course charcoal grilled taste a lot better, but some people prefer to eat worse quality at higher costs but have it more convenient.
I can't understand how someone could BBQ with gas.....BBQ with gas is a stove and should sit in the kitchen......
I got a charcoal grill first, but the charcoal around where I am is crap. Big branches and little pieces mixed together. No way to keep an even heat under the grill.
Plus, they don't have mesquite, or even hickory, around here. That's what adds the flavor. Plain charcoal just adds carcinogens.
Anyway, a gas grill under a grate will char your steak, and you get an even heat, so you're not raw on one end and burnt on the other. The flavor has to come from the dry rub, or the marinade depending what's being bbq'd. I'd trade it all for a few bags of Kingsford Mesquite charcoal, though.
I bring charcoal from the States, as well as hickory, apple, mesquite, and red oak.
Some of the charcoal here is fine, but it takes longer to fire up. As far as wood, mango is readily available and is pretty good for pork, chicken, and fish. There are a few other woods I've tried, but I forget the Thai names offhand.
Let me understand this.... "You bring charcoal from the States" ????
Isn't that a bit like taking coals to Newcastle ????
You must be one very wealthy gent.

why would you try to use a GPS in Thailand ,,,If you try to enter a Soi name from any village or back street of a City it will NOT work,,it comes up like unnamed road near such and such a village or a street from the other side of the country,,,or it just doesn't compute,,,,,,,,Had my GPS in car updated last week,,,,,now it comes up with more errors and unnamed streets than before,,,best thing for GPS in Thailand ,,,Keep it turned OFF.
Rubbish ! Traveled over 35,000k in LOS with a Garmin. Never been lost or misdirected. If not sure of exact address coordinates always spot on.
soda-tax ...is Thailand ready for one?

"Never seen one of them so can only assume they are isolated in their usage so no point in scratching it from my list just yet."
Start scratching ol mate. You obviously don't get out much. Sakon Nakhon, relatively small city, have lots of handicapped parking signs. I recently drove to BKK & return & encountered several car parks with designated handicap parking.
Cheers..... Mal.
