I've used Magna Carta for this. Highly reccomend. On Tukcom street 20 metres past 3rd road intersection on right.

I must be lucky. Opened a TMB and Krungsi account on visa exempt entries. First branches I visited so no shopping around or insurance scam either

I doubt any experienced rider would have a problem hitting one. Just the inexperienced, drunk or stoned rider would have a problem. Maybe a good thing, if you fall off hitting one of those maybe don't ride anymore lol

Yeah, rider with no experience in home country decides to ride in Thailand which is the death capital for bike riding. That's the only reason anyone would hit that and come off their bike. Buy a car if you are that hopeless at riding a moped

Yep, 14 years of 6 months per year, ride a 1200 Harley at home, Honda Click in Thailand. Makes no sense why anyone would ride so close to barrier to hit that, never mind have it throw them off their bike...must be a useless rider if so

Why would you be riding a bike outside the road zone and so close to the barrier to hit one of those?

Where is there one in Pattaya...stupid post

I loved casino's in the 90's as A$5 minimum for blackjack. Now its like $20 a hand so if they do that (500 baht minimum) it's a no go for me. 100 baht per hand or spin would be good though

Well if I'm on soi bukhao with 5 TT's I'm not walking all the way to soi 13/2 I go to Bodega Bar a lot though so might check Dimini while there if I remember

If you're going all the way to soi post office to save 60 baht on US$1000 (whereas TT are everywhere), you might as well go to Bodega Bar on the corner for your "free" 60 baht beer ????

That closed before this thread was started. Became "Big and Whistle" for awhile as new owner didn't like pigs????

Still haven't read of a single "favourite bar" that closed in the 160 pages of this thread other than Retox, which is now replaced by a much better Hemmingways

Works when I click on it? Here's another https://m.facebook.com/Z-TVHD-107210222080947/videos/funny-2022-funny-happy-good-smile-amazing-viral-technology/791752848635591/

Maybe you're old and fell asleep when they called your number?

Pre-covid there were minimum wait times at Jomtien. Turn up, fill out forms, 15 minutes all done

I have a Krungsi account already in Pattaya and I asked to open a higher interest account to put the 800k in. They refused as I was on visa exempt. Said I needed long term visa to open so chicken and egg springs to mind ????

Ok, I asked as It was mentioned as a requirement in the list Ubonjoe posted

@ubonjoe could you please advise if a copy of Google maps like below is acceptable to immigration (I'm Jomtien) or do we have to do a hand drawn map?

I don't understand why go to an agent (unless not having 800k in bank). You have to give the agent the exact same paperwork you'd give immigration so all you're saving is lining up at immigration. Note: don't you also have to still go to immigration anyway as I see agents taking photo's of clients in front of building all the time to prove they were there?

I'm sure the longer wait times were due to all the covid extensions being done. Now that they are no more, wait times should be back to pre-covid normal

Brits must be happier today

Doubt it. Any Leaver bar would fail within its first month given his business and economic theories he states here... Imagine how depressing his bar would be lol

If it helps, this site says it's 1250 baht for fast track entry or departure (2400 for both) https://www.limousine.in.th/fast-track-immigration.php

Problem is you automatically think everyone that makes a positive comment about Pattaya must have a finiancial interest here. You're dillusional
