  1. The stamp in the new passport clearly shows all details of your last entry incl. visa class, point of entry etc. They even replicate the entry stamp. Of course the original visa remains in the old passport (expired in most cases). Call it what you want. This stamp has been put in the new passport in 2016 showing entry from 2011 (border run).
  2. Seems I fall for fake news/video blogs. Do you live in Pattaya? Even in July it was far from dead.
  3. Whatever the reason for the sacking was, the "early" closure is very likely related to that.
  4. Sudden removal of Pattaya police chief yesterday. Obviously related to the suicide(?) of that woman being hunted by the Chinese trafficking gang. And then? New acting police boss in "bad mood"/show force or not familiar with the rules in sin city? https://thepattayanews.com/2022/09/18/pattaya-police-chief-removed-from-position-by-chonburi-provincial-police-commander/
  5. If you want to go without a separate tank, at least opt for a pump with a small attached pressure tank. Like this: We have this with 255 Watts for a two story house. (but still a separate tank for the deep well water)
  6. I would not go without a tank. Think how much space you can free up for a tank. If you want to limit to buffering for pressure there are tanks as small as 100 or 200 liter preferably placed protected from sunlight. If you want to be able to span a longer water outage like a day you should look for 1000 liter or more.
  7. There can't be a general answer about departing. Where from? What airline? Arrival: from many reports here and first hand there seem to be close to no more checks at Suvarnabhumi. Worst case: undergo another ATK(ART) test on arrival.
  8. Obviously. To add to the confusion some countries/organizations seem to call it ART (antigen rapid test). Not wrong but confusing. Others call it after the kit used (ATK, antigen test kit). In my last country they call Covid-19 simply "Corona" ????
  9. Surprised. Really poor. https://www.facebook.com/KhaosodEnglish/posts/pfbid032kFeSnoRV7h3skT7YU7d2TcE9eXaEZKQri3LMSCHUYZuz8DoyKyAkKEcUsyb8chcl
  10. The usual scooters have a small 6 AH battery. Likely bigger in such a 160 model. But I guess it is still less an hour needed to recharge to the point where you can start. My small old charger does about 3 A at the beginning. I do not use the big car charger. Our old Honda Click still has an emergency kickstart. Need to put the bike on the center stand. But the first time I wanted to use it, it was completely stuck Needed some oil. Quite poor that forgetting to turn the key still drains the battery. How much would a simple timer cost?
  11. To the point. But an everyday experience. Is there a bus or heavy truck in oncoming convoy? Prepare for the worst, lean to the shoulder and foot over the break pedal. Buses are even worse. They make three lanes out of two.
  12. Have you invested a view to the photo? Pulling in from the side? Where the hell in this construction area. Wrong way? The truck driver would surely have claimed. This idiot was simply not willing to slow down and drive behind the (annoying) side car until the road is clear or construction area ends.
  13. To break/slow down is not an option for our kings of the road. Roadworks, solid yellow line, all don't matter. Should receive a heavy penalty. RIP to the deceased.
  14. For "high season" (if that still exists) hotels will usually expect a deposit for the room reservation.
  15. Always worth to check the hotel website. At a hotel in Pattaya : Just managed to book a room category which does not show up or shown as booked on Agoda, Booking.com or Expedia. Booking though was fairly complicated through Paypal, VISA credit card (VISA secure). A hell lot of logging in to my banking app, requesting codes bla bla... Jumping/changing through the websites on the mobile. But I could pay 2000 Baht deposit from my VISA with proper exchange rate and no fees.
  16. Case closed. He has been found in Laos! He finally contacted his family. https://www.facebook.com/KhaosodEnglish/posts/pfbid0MpSiNpfqxx2kLFyxQfbqdqqs5FC2M4Em18FL9G6Tip9WibubAcih425vJ3gt5BuYl
  17. Not even knowing/able to find what model of phone one has at hand? Seriously? I am out here.
  18. I would be surprised if no high ranking Royal attends the funeral. Princess Sirindhorn was traveling in Europe over the last days (Germany, Switzerland). Maybe she will attend?
  19. Since May 2021: https://aseannow.com/topic/1214662-driving-licences-new-international-permit-to-drive-can-be-used-in-84-countries-and-for-three-years/
  20. Both are accepted. 1968 has finally been added last year. It took them decades.
