went few weeks back on weekday mid morning....not at all crowded....samae beach was pleasantly uncrowded...chair was 50 baht..best to avoid holidays as it is popular with the Thais....

Thanks for some actual info.

More troublemakers! 

For all he knows they could have been smoking anything or sniffing glue etc, kids will smoke or sniff or take whatever is around!

So no real update etc, re best beach, prices, etc?

Note I wanted updates from recently if possible, not the history of Chinese refugees!

Thanks again.

I was thinking the same as we're in Pattaya at the moment,

 

I was hoping it would be quieter too. We'll just grin and bear it in one day in the next few weeks.

 

 

Please let me know etc. Thanks.

I know, hence my question.  It was you that suggested to uninstall it which didn't make sense.

 

 

Yes, I agree my response was too casual, I meant initially to delete the shortcut, clear the browser cache, etc, restart and effect a new Facebook shortcut, etc.

The height of shame, Police looking after their own!

How do you uninstall a website you access with your laptop browser?

Facebook is not effectively installed on your computer rather it is a web page I suspect you have a browser problem.
 

Uninstall Facebook, restart the laptop, reinstall Facebook, use an alternative browser, ie Edge or Firefox, etc.

Unfortunately, most servers in Thailand have very poor security so you will get viruses and Trojans here.

It certainly does not help if like some friends etc you look at certain sites and download pictures etc.

The best way and simplest is to save your all passwords and important files to a USB memory stick etc, save all your contacts and emails and phone numbers and then reformat your laptop to a fresh setup and reboot your phone. 

Quite simple to do at any shop etc (Dr Com, 3rd floor, TukCom) if you are not confident doing it yourself.

Windows Defender is a great protection system, but not foolproof.  

Never open emails and files from unknown sources.

If you have a true Windows then make sure you keep the Windows Key etc to reload.

I'm in Pattaya Dec for 6 weeks, and my bike and car licenses are 1 year out of date, where can I go to get sorted, rather than the hassle of the license center?  What sort of costs etc involved?

Thanks for any constructive advice.

Perhaps true for some EU countries, but Denmark is an EU member and insurance there is for the car.

As I stated there are exceptions!

Sorry to say, but rather wrong, for instance, in the EU and particularly the UK the insurance is specific to named drivers and named cars.....of course there are exceptions.

I thought most knew that DHL is the worst to deal with when you have issues etc, they are unhelpful at all times and charge a fortune in fees and duties.

Best to find a different delivery option or order elsewhere.

OP, its the car that's insured anywhere in the world, That's why its called car insurance and not driver insurance, Thailand is no different.

The default for any car insurance is usually any authorized driver, with possible exemptions for under a certain age, learners etc.

As others have said, check the policy, but unless its a specific policy that only covers the owner of the car, it should operate as any other car insurance.

Sad.

How is Nong Khai today?

Points for Scotland:

They speak Scottish (Which might be harder to understand)

They are in general friendly

It rains and snows.

It can be very cold

It can be expensive

It might be lonely

Short winter days

Need a visa

Health treatment would be expensive

Need a car

Points for Thailand

They don't all speak English

They are in general friendly

It can be hot and sunny

It can be inexpensive

It will not be lonely

Need a visa

Health treatment would be expensive

Long sunny days

Might need a car

Hard choice?

More like perpetuating ignoronce and worry!

RIP terrible way to leave us.

Good idea about the overstay if it's not too long.

 

I think I can leave and come back with emergency travel document.

Nope!  Emergency travel Document is normally just to get you home!

Currently not from U-Tapao to Udon.

 

Plenty of flights from Suvarnabhumi which I would prefer (closer, easy bus/taxi).

 

Plenty: well...

3 in the morning, 4 in the afternoon until 6:05 PM

So not Don Muang?
