  1. 086-843-2611  Call "Q". 

    Q is a Thai national fluent in both Thai & English after living in Minnesota 5+ years and studying English language at a University there.  He tutored my Thai wife in English while we were in Jomtien & she learned far more than in a classroom here in Chiang mai.

  2. fhickson: I would think that with the increase of condos, people & cars, that it's clear traffic has worsened & I would say that must have impacted unhealthy aspect of the air.  In any event I suggest you read a well written posy by donnacha's in the following link:

     

  3. Ah yes another bureaucratic make work suspense established by some Immigration offices.  Not only is it a burden on the farang but "make work" for the Immigration office.  

     

    "Make work" entails an expense, even if that expense is nothing more than frustrating both the farang & Immigration employees.  Accordingly, the farang must be made to pay for that added expense. 

     

    Don't be surprised if a fine (perhaps 1,600 thb) is ultimately established if the suspense is not met within a 7 day delay.

     

     

     

     

  4. Massive massive influx of condos / people & their impact upon traffic & pollution in the past 10 years has probably had a negative impact upon Thai CM natives attitudes.  Then also with respect to the farang, if a fair percentage may be more interested in sex than marriage with their daughters, that may also have a somewhat more negative impact toward the farang contingent.

  5. Pib, I may have asked this before but with all these alternatives its confusing. 

    Does DFAS do the method you described in the following quote?

     

    "Now if your do not want to use the SS IDD program, you can use the SS ACH program to a Bangkok Bank special Direct Deposit account...those SS ACH transfers will be reflected as FTT/International Transfer.  Bangkok Bank is only Thai bank with ACH receiving capability.   But this special Direct Deposit account comes with restrictions like no debit card allowed, no ibanking transfers from that account, the account only in your name, and you can only withdraw/transfer funds from that Direct Deposit account by "you" with passport in hand visiting any Bangkok Bank branch to prove your are still alive each and every time your want to withdraw/transfer funds for that Direct Deposit account."

     

    Again, my question is will DFAS do as described above?

    I hope this post doesn't get anyones dander up..., but can someone recommend a 3 or 4 star hotel to stay in for a few days at Jomtien..., somewhere that is reasonably close to the beach, bars, cafe's and restaurants, markets etc ? Please excuse if this is a bit too general in it's scope. I'm no kind of monger..., I just want to check the place out and get the feel of the place(as opposed to cop a feel at the place).

    Would Jomtien Palm Beach not be 4-5 star?  

     

     

  7. Hmm,  Perhaps I answered my own question via the pinned topics.  Just saw this with th post dated 23Feb19:

    Quote: "

    One original residence certificate from immigration (3 days old) , one colour copy (signed) of residence certificate, original for MC license, copy for car license. Both original Thai license. For each license, one each of the following, (each page signed), passport photo and data page, passport extension of stay and multiple re-entry permit, current arrival stamp. Also included copy of original non-o visa and arrival card, but I'm not sure they were needed. No medical certificate.
