What documentation do you require to pick up money from a Western Union agent

Try the Pattaya Utd web site. Does not have the specific info you require but does have contact information.

YNWA

If you wan't to travel by rail from Bangkok

There is a English translation tab in the top right corner of the web page.

A lot of the channels on Sophon Cable are broadcast from Astro TV in Malayasia

Try a google search "astro tv channels listings"

It may be possible to get the income confirmation letter from the Austrian Embassy. Details in a new thread in the visa forum.

Just checked tv listings for Astro Sports and Astro Sports 2 (Sophon Cable) and nothing listed for the fight to be shown.

Normally when Pacquiao is fighting Thai TV 7 broadcast.

Rios is a tough boxer could be Pacquia last fight.

Thanks all.

Dumb question - can someone tell me where in BKK is the Chinese embassy (especially the Visa section)? Their website does not display an address, and their phone number won't answer.

And the name of a good, low-cost hotel nearby?

Thanks,

Paul

China Embassy

I was not aware of that article, but here is a link to it http://pattayatoday.net/news/latest-edition/british-embassy-changes-retirement-rules/

(I hope it's OK to post that link)

Pontious, you are quite right, Barry is saying that there are other consulates in Pattaya which will provide the letter for Brits - and the letter will be accepted by Immigration.

The British Embassy charge approximately 48 GBP (including postage). Apparently, the other consulates charge much less.

Anyone know which consulates are doing this?

The Only countries that have consulates in Pattaya are:

Austria #

Norway

Sweden #

# Members of the European Union.

Sorry post meant to say

Are there any company’s in Pattaya providing a service for getting the letter for you?

If so at what cost?

Thanks in advance

There is secure parking for motorbikes next to the terminal. 30 baht per day. If you are facing the entrance to the Pattaya Bus Terminal on Pattaya Nua, it's just to the left. Drive in and go toward the back. I've used several times and it's a nice choice.

Thanks for that, will go there and check access times.

Is there secure overnight parking for a motor cycle at the terminal? If so what are the access hours and cost?

Thanks in advance

Been following this thread with interest even though I'm not a big football fan.

Re. the last post, Astro Supersport 2 show some Championship matches and it is currently on Sophon. Schedule here :-

Re. the Premiership, Setanta (Ireland) have rights to broadcast & I have seen some bars showing this channel. Am unsure as to how it is obtained though, I would guess a subscription to their online site, hence the internet + a pretty good download speed.

Thanks for the info

Have checked it out and this weekend Sophon Cable are showing 4 live BPL matches.

More info here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/660394-live-epl-football-on-sophon-cable-this-weekend/

The guy that runs the site lives in Chang Mai and is very helpful. You will find a contact email address on the

site.

Try Ally’s Bar and Restaurant at the bottom of soi 17 at the entrance to Suksabai Villas
(adjacent to Lion Bar).

The chicken tikke massala is very popular and you have a choice to eat inside(air con) outside or takeaway.

He has a charcoal oven for the Indian breads.

Sophon Cable TV Channel: Astro Supersports 2 (8.55pm. 27 May 2013)

LIVE: NPower Football League 2012/13: Championship Playoff Final - Watford vs Crystal Palace, from Stadium Wembley, London, England.

bus to rayong sucks, will stop everywhere and go via sattahip etc.. I would go with a minibus, there is minibus service on shuk road opposite tesco south pattaya (a few meters up -> bkk from petrol station opposite the tesco)

Thanks yoslim for the advice, will do as you sugggest
