Camp ground is the minimum standard to look for. Some organized site. There is overnight camping/sleeping in tents in the national parks. But I never saw that for the beaches.

Thailand is still comparably safe for tourists in terms of crime. But sleeping in a tent on the beach? No thanks. I can't comment on the legality.

If you try to use an "open" WiFi (often the case at public/hotel WiFi) the app fails silently. Just does not come up. SCB is paranoid with their security measures. No (copy) paste (sooo convenient for account no. etc). Developer functions on Android must be turned off. Still the worst/ugliest of the Thai banking apps that I have (Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn, SCB). They are still not able to setup face recognition for foreign passport holders. Stupidos. So after a lenghty talk to customer service in Bangkok (me sitting at the branch) I got a waiver. So far so mediocre. Didn't even notice the "French touch" until now : Open issue: two days ago I wanted to do card-less withdrawal. Enter my phone number at the ATM and get some "not registered for ..." message. Worked before. Phone number used since years for internet banking. I am just too lazy for another branch visit with passport and bankbook and receive some blank stares and discussion among the staff

That's what I understand is their intention. When logged in with your Google account they will notice you using adblockers and sooner or later they might lock your account out from youtube. What browser are you using and what device? Above I described a method which seems too complicated for some. It's basically using an alternate browser that is free any blockers (logging in to your Google account) and just search/browse for videos that interest you (from your subscribed channels e.g.) Copy link (no need to open video) and watch video in yet another browser named "Brave" in incognito mode. So far it works fine. Next resort: copy link and use a down-loader like "WinX".

They don't on my X app on Android. Exactly like in the OP. Is it about the app version? Mine comes as "Version 2" only?

And most likely the families now left with debt.

It's not the first thread on this and maybe not the last. Up to now I can get around by using unspoiled Chrome (no blockers) to search/browse for videos (incl. my subscribed channels). Then copy the link and watch it in a Brave (browser) incognito window. Last resort if that fails too would be pasting the link to WinX Youtube downloader and watch the video with an external viewer (VLC). If that fails... I bite my desk. If they look at the IP address another try would be using VPN (very inconvenient). Just "invented" the idea this morning and can't guarantee it will work in all cases. Now it's hackers of the world against Google to circumvent.

Some females are not too keen on Soi 6.

Too little detail to give a meaningful answer. Seven days incl travel to and from? 30 hour flight from the US? NO

I was not in the US but at Google and being quite puzzled that "Wireless Emergency Alerts" comes up as US specific alert system? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Emergency_Alerts It does not look like the system that I heard about called "Cell Broadcast" which has just recently been tested in Germany. (same as planned for Thailand following post above) To the OP: you don't have a second SIM in the phone? You have not been in the US with the phone? You have not purchased and used the phone in the US?

That might be a part of the problem. Relying on Google for each and everything. I stumble upon so many faults. There is really no shortage of pharmacies in Pattaya. But indeed some may have gone. One (of two) in Soi Diana made way for a bar. About half of dozen on one leg of Soi Buakhao. Forget the pharmacies in the malls. Indeed often no pharmacist on duty. An annoyance.

Didn't want to spoil the thread about the student massacres. Just a coincidence in the date. Last Friday was the anniversary of the 36 people killed, the majority of them sleeping children in a nursery. Reminds me of the deadliest thread to humans being humans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Nong_Bua_Lamphu_massacre

Check your calendar! It's now Friday morning Oct 6, 8 AM. A video of the "late night event" had been uploaded 17 hours ago.

0.73% AEON 150 Baht but limited to 20000 Baht makes 0.75%.

Maybe a Thai guy where this is the norm. Just remove the blanks and it fits perfect. maybeathaiguywherethisisthenormjustremovetheblanksanditfitsperfect

Downloading has another advantage: you can watch the video to the very end without last 10/15 seconds being plastered with suggestions (which Brave can not impede). Do not show anything relevant in the last 15 seconds of your yt.

As long as yt on Brave browser and WinX downloader work fine I don't bother. Pay if forced? Not sure. Pay for X. No way.

Official rules: 3 years is maximum overdue for tax pay backwards. After that the registration/plate/book is void. But as far as I know you can go through some new registration process. Don't know the details. Official rules: I do not exclude or argument about exceptions from the rules like above described 5 years. TiT

Just for completeness. These are the other two sheets I got. Looks like Thai version of the police order. The IO had used some color marker which got lost while scanning. The red squares are the sections where some text had been marked.

Is walking through to Soi Buakhao open again?

Thais can hardly pronounce "myth" (trailing f). So you will just hear "midnight". Somewhat snobbish attitude by business owners to choose names that ordinary Thais can't pronounce. "EST" coke ????

I live about 70 km from the site of the Kindergarten massacre by an ex Police in Nong Bualamphu province. Killed more then 20 children around age 3.

I have put the scan in a separate topic in Thai language for now: https://aseannow.com/topic/1308266-checklist-of-supporting-documents-for-marriage-extension/ This is the first of three sheets I got. The other two are obviously just the original Thai version of the immigration order (explaining 40k, 400k, seasoning etc.). I will check this tomorrow and if it makes sense (new or different from what's known) will add it. I reduced the scan to 1280 x 1761 pixel and it looks readable. If necessary I have the full size 600 dpi scan (5100 x 7015 pixel).

I put this in Thai language although visa related. For those interested you can (let) translate. I got this today at Khon Kaen immigration office asking for a checklist regarding one year extension based on marriage with Thai wife. It's dated 27. September 2023. Automatic translation of the title is: "List of supporting documents for applying for extension of stay in the Kingdom of Thailand In the case of requesting support for a Thai wife nationality" Click on image for full size or download.

Was at KK immigration this morning. One year extension with income statement. Documents prechecked by interns. 25 min wait. 10 min at the counter. Checklist marriage: I got two sheets in Thai language. They don't have it in English ???? When I am back home I will scan it and either publish here or send by PM. Translation is another matter.
