Yes, hotels? Two posters have asked. Anyone? Ive seen signs at the low end short time/overnight "resorts" round here saying closed until 1 June.  And proper resorts and hotels? I don't know. Haven't been near any of any kind since February. On line those I've looked at say closed until 1 June also. The wife and I would like a couple of nights from home ( and her family!) in a nice place!!!

I just spent a week at the Hotel Kantary Bay Rayong. Beach in front of the hotel is public beach so you can find usual beach chairs and restaurants. Hotel pool is open but gym is close.

And what is this area?

 

An area where you can travel freely back and forth to other provinces, where hotels are open with their pools and restaurants, where movie theaters and entertainment places are open, schools are open, in short where life is back to normal???

 

Almost. I am now staying at Rayong. My hotel pool is open since 17/May. Nearby beach is open with usual beach chairs and swimmers. Restaurants are all open. It is only 3 hours drive from Bangkok. No check points along the way to and from Bangkok.

Why are beaches closed?

Beaches in Rayong are still open and people are allowed to swim. Beach chairs are back.

It's either cellular or Wifi/LAN or (unlikely) satellite internet. Regardless, cellular has IMEI/SIM, so does satellite connection, and LAN/Wifi has external IP of the router or to the router. It's possible to trace if one is determined.

Any free VPN can hide the IP address of the user.

I hold the tablet with both hands like holding a book and use my thumbs to scroll down the page or typing on the on-screen keyboard. I read a lot of paper books in this position so found no difficulty when I switch to reading e-books on the tablet.

You don't need to load money into True money app. True money wallet allow directly charging your credit/debit card for the purchases that you made.

Do you know that the charges are, if any, assuming there are charges, e.g. nothings for free

No additional charges for paying with True Money wallet linked to Thai bank issued credit/debit card.

My wife said when we were at Makro last week she asked the guy at the check out before paying cash and he said True Money is accepted there.

 

I don't like the fact that I would have to use an app to get a QR code after loading my money from SCB to an app (True Money), like I said it defeats the purpose.

You don't need to load money into True money app. True money wallet allow directly charging your credit/debit card for the purchases that you made.

I added ten digits Kasikorn bank account number in my Thai paypal to withdraw funds. No branch code added.

I was able to make true money wallet charge my linked credit instead of using preloaded balance for my true bill payment.

I need to select the circled radio button. It actually said credit/debit card in Thai.

I was able to use True Money Wallet at many 7-11 in rural locations.

Kids can get non-Immigrant Visa type “ED” at nearest Thai embassy or consulate for studying in International Schol and mother can also obtain Non-Immigrant “O” visas in relation to their child's visa. Many international schools will assist with students’ visas by issuing the necessary documentation, although parents are responsible for all applications for student visas and visa extensions.

You can choose Domestic Arrival floor exit 11 or 12 in Grab app for pickup.

Kasikorn Bank allow Supplementary Card Applicants from 15 years of age.

Older devices are still using Wifi standard 802.11g which max out at 54 MBps. Newer devices are using Wifi Standard 802.11n which can support max 450 MBps. The best is to test using Ethernet cable.

My idea is to make this tour in October from Chiang Mai with my own in Thailand registered car. Which permits do I need? 

You will need Myanmar Overland Permit. You need to go through a travel agency for this permit and need to have a license guide along the trip in the car.

Read what it actually says.....

He said he was being detained on the second floor of a police station in the town of Bokpyin 900 kms from Myawaddy where he crossed into Myanmar

Town of Bokpyin is 900 km away from the nearest border crossing called Myawaddy. How he drove this far without being noticed at many police checkpoints along the way is a mystery to me.

I for myself drive 4 times with my car to Burma. 6pm I must go back to Thailand. I can enter again 9am. This was the rules till 3 years ago. 

Normally, Thai registered cars without permit are limited only to vicinity of border towns in Myanmar. The problem is OP drove 900 KM in land from the nearest border town.
