  1. From website for Tokyo Metro Police Dept: IDP in Japan "Only International Driving Permits (IDPs) issued by a signatory to the 1949 Geneva Convention in conformity with the Convention’s provisions are recognized as valid for driving in Japan. An IDP on the other conventions or treaties, including the 1969 Vienna Convention, is invalid even if it is issued by a signatory to the 1949 Geneva Convention."
  2. For those like me who had never heard of Go Wholesale I just googled and found out one opened in Pattaya about 6 months ago on Sukhumvit. South Side of Big C Super Center just South of South Pattaya Rd (Pattaya Tai) Go Wholesale
  3. It's a torrent file on Pirate Bay (Pattaya FRENCH DVDRiP x264 2016) and maybe other sites. I'm not sure a direct link is allowed. I you aren't familiar with torrents and Pirate Bay you may not be able to download it.
  4. I downloaded it but haven't watched it yet. I also recently downloaded another movie just titled "Pattaya" from 2016. It's in French and has English subs. Haven't watched it yet either so not sure if it was actually filmed in Pattaya or not. IMDB - Pattaya (2016)
  5. Louisiana now requires public schools to display the 10 Commandments. But check this out:
  6. Thailand has the same number of Olympic medals as India yet India has a population of 1 Billion.
  7. Bangkok is most famous for holding the Guinness World Record for having the longest place name. It is commonly shortened to Krung Thep or Krung Thep Maha Nakhon but the full name is: "Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit" in Thai: กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยามหาดิลก ภพนพรัตน์ ราชธานีบุรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์ มหาสถาน อมรพิมาน อวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยะ วิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์
  8. Thai athletes have won a total of 35 medals, 14 in weightlifting, 15 in boxing and 6 in taekwondo. Among countries in Southeast Asia, Thailand ranks first in terms of the number of gold medals (10), and second in the number of overall medals (35), only behind Indonesia which has 37 medals.

  9. As of 2021, Thai athletes have won a total of 35 medals in the Olympics.
  10. That is a 25 pound practice bomb. probably a Mk76 or BDU-33. It is just a big chunk of steel. It does have a smoke cartridge that looks like a shotgun shell that is hazardous.
  11. It means "Sea". View Talay Condo means Seaview Condo
  12. I was impressed with how extensive the eye exam was at Pattaya International on Soi 4. It was included with a full physical checkup package. They do have an eye exam package on their website for 2990 Baht. Seems expensive for an eye exam but they have some very high tech equipment that an eyeglass retailer like Euro Optic probably wouldn't have. Eye Check Up Package
  13. I do agree with your views on Ukraine and Israel so at least we have that in common.
  14. Your far left woke liberal socialist postings are like a broken record.
  15. If you have a military affiliation of any kind Navy Federal Credit Union has no problem with members being outside the US and they are ok with using a mail forwarding agent as your address. They are the largest credit union in the US by a wide margin and have many overseas branches. Nearest ones in Singapore and Japan.
  16. So many people taking this seriously. If you are going to roast the OP at least be creative.
  17. Somewhere there is a tree whose sole purpose is to replace the oxygen that the OP is wasting. He should go find that tree and apologize to it.
  18. If you own something you don't have a lease. If you lease something you don't own it.
  19. I think that was a tongue in cheek post since the op says "I know everything about Pho" except that it is Vietnamese.
  20. The basic date of the Nationality act is 2508. Amendment #5 is dated 2555. From Thai Council of State website: https://www.ocs.go.th/council-of-state/#/intro-page NATIONALITY ACT, B.E. 2508 (1965)** ** As amended up to the Nationality Act (No. 5), B.E. 2555 (2012). NATIONALITY ACT, B.E. 2508 (1965).pdf
  21. Indonesia has not ratified the 1949 Geneva Treaty nor the 1969 Vienna. The UN Treaty database has the current listing of which countries ratified which treaty. Parties to 1969 Vienna Treaty Parties to 1949 Geneva Treaty That doesn't necessarily mean that they don't accept IDP's but they may require that they first be endorsed by the Indonesian licensing office in Jakarta. As already pointed out, the ASEAN Treaty allows the use of licenses issued by member countries (no IDP required) but possibly there could be an issue if the person has a ASEAN license, but the passport of a non-ASEAN country. Just speculation on my part.
  22. I would recommend a Swaine Malacca Prince of Wales for Men. Excellent quality and you can order online. https://swaine.london/products/malacca-prince-of-wales-for-men-black
  23. I figured you had done your homework but wanted to make sure.
  24. You don't have to be drawing, or even being eligible for Social Security to sign up for medicare.
