  1. Unlikely in this case: some websites block access for all Thai IP addresses. US Home Depot is a well known example: https://www.homedepot.com/
  2. What Internet provider does the "good friend" have? Is there just a basic technical error message or a government official "blocked" website? Read a post about someone with 3BB having problems accessing a Thai company site. And then yesterday I (3BB) could not open iherb.com! Changing DNS to Google DNS fixed the problem.
  3. Just the opposite. Years ago there was an attempt to block porn stuff and show some official site about the blocking. I use a VPN on all critical sites anyway. But just now couldn't resist to open the #1 hub and see erected body parts in a second. But really: get a VPN as officially these sites are not allowed
  4. They come once (unknowing newbie) and never come again. That works to a certain level like seen for Phuket. In the past Pattaya had a lot of regular guests. I guess these numbers are going down. Fed up.
  5. It's easy if they take it serious. The "blondie" who prepared him for the mob to add their kicks is 100% from the area. One of the late kickers looks like one of the quality security guards (Treetown style). The guy does not fight back, all seems over but no, one bastard gives him another kick. Blondie with the unique hairstyle, initiator:
  6. Even the existing are ignored. Law is not worth if it's not enforced.
  7. I would shoot at the damned truck with the loudspeaker tower 😁 There is no peaceful place if you have a conflict with neighbors. But the level of violence is shocking
  8. Thai traffic does not forgive. An 80 year old on a motorcycle. Bad chances. If you are on slow bike: drive up on the far left to the turn, wait for a gap and then short way over to the turn. I am not the only one to do so. On highway 12 speeds of a 120 km/h or more are usual. There is a reason why a couple of U turns on Pattaya Sukhumvit have been closed. Too many deaths.
  9. The borders are closed to everyone! These bastards lock out their own people.
  10. Half a million for a bicycle? That's more than racing bikes at Tour de France. Golden brake levers? Obviously a rich kid. Twist your neck if you have no mirror!
  11. Cheap rooms have no safe. But still possible to hide your stuff. Let the agreed sum lie open. Insurance? No way. Reporting to police? Worthless. "She was about 1.55 and had black hair" 🤣
  12. Tell me what's Nordic on the picture. And that the French press is not typical has already been mentioned.
  13. Was quite surprised that I got this message in the morning.
  14. I was asking because home visits were limited to people on marriage extension. But now there are more reports even for those on retirement extension.
  15. Thanks for reporting. Are you currently on marriage extension or retirement?
  16. Definitely wrong for one-way from Bangkok to London. Air India is cheaper if you fancy 😳
  17. It's outrageous, a shame that they don't let their citizens back in unhindered. Hope they get away with 500 Baht.
  18. Yes I remember the headline about BA. But that was limited to a certain season. Can't remember the details. Sure not now
  19. Just got the approved message. Under 8 hours. Topped up with 1000 Baht from Kasikorn Bank.
  20. Yes and no magic behind. TG and EVA. All else is connecting. At this time of year.
  21. As above: Thai Airways and EVA are the only two airlines that offer nonstop Bangkok to London (if that is what is looked for). And at this time TG offers a oneway(!) for less than 14k Baht. What else do you need? As the OP is not capable to supply some details I am out here. What a circus. https://matrix.itasoftware.com/ and book at airlines directly.
  22. Thrown out of the car. As usual. Not thrown out wearing seat belts would be more newsworthy.
  23. One of many who died same day without making headlines. Just good that no one in the house was injured(?). If your house is at the road: sturdy wall or tank barriers.
