Friend lives on 8th floor (1 to ???? of a Condo off from Soi Watboon 3 (more or less in viewing distance). No sprinklers. He does not know the exact age of the building just that it is older than 12 years. What he has is a smoke detector in the room.

Treetown disturbs you more than another huge tower? You love the Benidorm touch? Terrible idea to put it on Soi Buakhao which is already a traffic nightmare.

Many recommendations also here in the forum. Interesting that he(?) also advertises with signs in German language. Map link: https://goo.gl/maps/ZkYDzWK8tHw1e26B8 (opposite PEA electric power substation a bit east) And be aware that on some sections of Pattaya Klang rd every 3rd house is a dentist. Don't walk into the wrong one

Buth what kind of legalization services are these?

Of course. At the Avenue they were amongst the last survivors on the upper floors.

You don't like the Old Inn ???? I find it a nice change.

I know. But it's hard to believe that they survived a long walk from the darkside e.g.? Just found an article about an estimated 50 hogs on the darkside (Khao Talo area): And it's a known fact and a plague that hogs walk in city/populated areas damaging parks/greens. Crack open garbage cans. Having encounters with dogs. So maybe these are not missed

Bet someone misses them. Such beast are kept like farm animals up here.

That's where immigration officers on inactive posts are sent too ???? Sit and watch the border. Sorry have no serious answer.

The big bridges yes. Like Nong Khai to Vientiane. But this news is likely irrelevant for us foreigners. Small checkpoints I never heard of and I guess open only for Thai and Lao people. What does "Traditional checkpoints" mean?

Some posters seem to have no idea what "poor" means. Can't afford business class? Hotel less than 5star?

Me too I simply can't recognize them as harmless or not. Asking a (Thai) neighbor for help/advise is probably step 1.

Don't deal with them, no chemicals etc. If you want them to be relocated/released the "Civil Defence Volunteers" can be called (you have a neighbor to call them?). https://www.facebook.com/PattayaCivilDefenceVolunteer/ (stolen from a popular Pattaya vlogger)

He mixed it up. Drivers should wear body cams A myth says that even a well visible dash-cam can lower their greed.

Name the one from the top 5 multi billionaires who is not rich in stocks. Reason why I find these richest lists quite boring. Monday it's Musk, Friday it's Bezos... next week ? Real billion Dollar rich is like the Sultan of Brunei or another person from here who I won't name.

On the news I hear the following sentence translated: "once again they are preparing to battle Russia on >>Ukrainian soil<<" Yes, exactly, you got it Wladi!

Maybe I misunderstood you? He will only get another 2 yr instead of 5yr?

That's the new "drive" ????

I bought at our local Advice shop. Not before I had checked that my 3 to 4(?) year old motherboard has an "M.2" slot (that's different from what the OP describes). Installing is not more than plugin and find a screw to fix it. Then going into BIOS and change boot order. Be aware: many users want to "clone" an existing Windows installation. That's an extra effort. But I routinely reinstall Windows and programs every 2 to 3 years. And so I did reinstall Windows 10 and all the stuff on the new SSD. I withstand the W11 pressure as long as W10 gets security updates.

Is this a specific rule for 2yr to 5yr? General rule is that you have up to one year without "starting again".

Recently replaced my creeping old HDD with a cheap NVMe type SSD of 512 GB (cost 1550 Baht). Max speeds about 3000 read, 2300 write MB/s. After (re)installing Windows 10 and my usual stuff I have 60 GB used It's a Kingston brand, not the latest hightech and as I read they put together "specials of the day" from the semiconductor market. Bulk data (images, videos, documents etc.etc.) is on a HDD (partition).

Enjoy some easterly winds.

We will see. Irrelevant for the topic starter anyway.

Past 31st of March? I missed that?

The 45 day visa exempt stay will be granted for >arrivals< until March 31st. No "capping" at end of March. Arriving 2nd March, you will get permission to stay until April 15th.
