Every place has its annoyances. Just have to accept it, especially for a foreigner who is given no more than one year to stay at a time in Thailand. After one year, if you find your home land is better, you can go back. Thailand immigration policy is perfect for the types of foreigners whose only voice is this forum. 

You seem to think that these problems are only related to farangs. How many Thais are bitten by stray dogs and others have a nasty fall as there very are few safe options to walk.

It's the Thai way... 

The leaders get richer by millions and the poor get 500 baht for their vote

both sides are happy.

So who would suggest Thais vote for given the entire political scene here is dominated by money.

Extendable baton for 100bht from Lazada  sorts the soi dogs.

No need to even swing it, they know what it's for.

Thanks for your suggestion Brit Man, if I go to Lazada what's this extendable baton called. Thanks.

In most countries where a person who suffered injuries due to local councils  neglect can sue. Any one going down this path in Thailand is a spend thrift with a sense of humour. So move on. 

Hi all, In recent days Cloudfare has blocked me from aseannow. Has anyone had this problem before and if so what action was taken. Cheers.

I have a holiday house in Chaochoengsao, 80 kms from Bangkok, also 100 kms from Pattaya. Actually the Pattaya train goes past my house about 8.20 am? every morning. We're 20 minutes from the city. As it's a bit remote on a former prawn farm there's absolutely no action. I can't even go for a walk because of the dogs and reckless motor bike riders. I'm out of there after 3 days as the boredom really gets to me. To me thats what most farangs go through as most of us come from major cities. I must've watched every movie on youtube over the years.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm registered in Pattaya but staying at a property I own in Bangkok for the time being. I prefer to do the reporting myself in person. I'll keep trying the online reporting again which I would much prefer instead of posting.

Hi all, Is there any current restrictions in regards to driving from Bangkok to Pattaya and return. I need to do a 90 days report in the next few weeks. I've tried the online reporting link many times but get nowhere. Maybe  I'm doing it wrong, is there any special requirements for online reporting. One would think that living at the same address for the past 20 years I would be exempt. Just wishfull thinking. Thanks.

The Czar has said he will open up.

 

New infections and deaths will decrease not be reported any more, to make it happen

The Czar said he will open up but unfortunately the Czar doesn't control the borders of the countries where all the walking ATM's come from. By the way when the farangs do arrive in Thailand will they need to go through a thorough cleansing process. because they are very dirty people as quoted by a senior Thai MP who is no better than a poo house prophet.

A Non-OA visa can only be applied for at a Thai embassy or official consulate in your home country and it allows a one year entry when used.

A non-o visa can be issued at any embassy or official consulate or a honorary consulate. It only allows a 90 day entry.

Since you have certainly gotten a new passport since you started your stay here there should be a stamp on the first page of your passport that states the type of visa you used and the old passport you had.

Here is an example of the stamp.

 

Firstly sorry Ubonjoe I couldn't find the quote key. As you stated you're right on the money again, so I'll just keep on using my agent until the rules change "again". Stay safe and thanks for your advice.

OA: obtained in your home country. valid for 1 year

        1) requires Medical Certificate

        2) Requires criminal background check

        3) Requires 40/400 health insurance

         4) requires 800 K in home country bank

 

         will give you one year per entry, good for almost 2 years if you plan your final entry well

 

O: 1) Requires 800K in Thai bank

     2) Good for 90 days only

 

After 90 days must file for annual extension

Thanks tonray, so I'm legit. I'll keep on going with the flow and enjoy myself which is a good excuse to have a holiday in Pattaya.

Tony Blair advocated it last week for the UK. He said "Vaccinated people should be treated differently to unvaccinated people." I agree.

Whether you agree with Tony Blairs politics or not please don't compare him with the Einstiens in Thailand.

After living in Thailand for 20 plus years, I'm sure I know why the vast majority of Thais are "devout Buddhists"  Simply put if they were Christians they'd <deleted> up the Lords Prayer. They never think before they act or talk and may I add my good lady is no different.

Believe me this will be total chaos which will turn into a mega <deleted> fight. As Thais adopt their me first attitude, as they're such caring and sharing people with their Buddhist teachings.

My Beer is low in calories.  

BRB , do you know the exact caries in My Beer, what about Archa, that's also 4.5%. Thanks.

If beer is your highest continuing daily calorie intake I think you have other issues that need addressing before your weight problems.

 

 

Its not my highest calorie intake, I'm just looking at eating and drinking habits where I can reduce weight. I'm also exercising regularly which I didn't do after I stopped playing football.

Hi all, as I've been told to reduce my weight I'm wondering which Thai beers have the lowest calories. Where I'm living right now they mainly sell Singha and Chang. My Beer and Archa are also available and both are 4.5%. What would that equate to in calories? Thanks.

Try Yolida, I've used it for years, not a problem. Readily available in Big C and Tops.
