Can I cycle along Wing 41 road without a pass or would I get turned back?

I also went Wednesday around 11.00 & found it surprisingly busy. Took me about an hour to get my second Pfizer and I also got my yellow book stamped. I had a good friend die in ICU of lung fibrosis caused by long covid in March, vaccines are the main way we can change the odds in our favour & I will keep getting boosters for as long as necessary.

I have had to make a similar purchase decision and went for the new Samsung M33. This is a 5G phone, has Android 12 already installed, 8Gb memory and 128GB storage - still showing 83GB after OS & Apps installed. Has dual SIM slots on the SIM tray plus another separate slot for a SD card. Samsung say they will provide 2 further Android updates & 4 years of security updates. I found their migration App worked well moving files & apps from my Moto phone. Priced at B6990 from Samsung Shop on Lazada. Week 6 and all working as it should, fast responses on screen & battery averaging over 2 days. US usage you would have to check, I had a query & an English speaking Samsung rep phoned me back within 90 minutes.

Thanks for everyone who responded. I took the docs I had prepared as if going to CW - annual letter from bank HQ, copies of each FX transfer note & matching bank book - to Jomtien. I was firmly told the only thing they wanted was a bank letter confirming each monthly transfer. Helpfully the lady provided me with a sample to copy & show at nearby Bkk Bank (see below). This I did and thankfully they agreed to do it for B100. They prefer a day to produce it but I managed to get it mid afternoon. Back to Immigration & with the magic letter my other documents got a cursory check (no proof of pension requested!) & I paid up B1900 & was told to come back to collect in 2 days.

dddave. Thanks what dates were required for your bank docs, firsst of the month to end month? Longwood50. Thanks. I use the identical method for transfer that you do -all my monthly's are FTT via Wise. I went to Bkk Bank HQ to get confirmation of transfers - I got a copy of each monthly FX transfer & a letter that set out the total paid over the period, ie not handily divided into monthly payments as per your letter. (CW is happy with this but maybe not Jomtien?)

I have done this successfully in Bangkok the last 3 years based on B65,000 transfers each month. I now have to do this in Pattaya for the first time & wondered if anyone had recent experience of their document requirements. Any tips very welcome. I have booked an appointment via their Internet appointment service & believe I show a printout of the appointment at the entrance rather than join the queue. In Bangkok I got copies of each monthly FX transfers of B65,000 (all FTT designated) from Bangkok Bank HQ & then a letter confirming 12 transfers totalling the required amount. Is anything else required (aside from normal forms & copies etc) here in Pattaya? I don’t have a pension so transfer from savings. This is my main concern, in Bangkok I don’t have to prove my ‘pension’ source the Bangkok Bank docs do the job, is that the case here? Other than that I understand they want property/rental details. I have a rental contract - mine is monthly so I have March’s, plus passport copy of owner.
