Fire Breaks Out at 7-Eleven Store in Sriracha, Customers and Staff Flee in Panic
This CCTV footage clearly shows that the fire started externally and people inside the store are unaware of the fire, until a passerby runs in and warns them. ScreenRecording_02-12-2025 09-57-00_1.mp4 -

Guesthouse in downtown Hua hin for a Family 1000 baht/night range
Don't know what 'downtown' is, but most things are within walking distance, or short hop from the baht bus route on Phetkasem Rd. Try Ree Raa Resort, (resort is a stretch) though not sure what they consider a child (age) vs an adult. Also across the street, from BluPort Mall for reasonable priced dining in their food court, in AC comfort. booking.com info: May or may not get charged extra, if not requesting a bed. We find calling direct is cheaper some times, and higher priced durning weekends. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ree+Raa+Resort/@12.5486641,99.9608787,497m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m10!3m9!1s0x30fdaa613cc1b553:0x1c6d6d41dcf742f4!5m3!1s2025-05-04!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d12.5488017!4d99.9628736!16s%2Fg%2F1hc7wtdzh?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDIwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D -

A little help please.
The answer to your Q is NO.. As part of the transfer process you will need a FET(Foreign Exchange Transfer ) certificate. This is only available with new money coming into Thailand. In practice you may be able to do a deal with your bank manager. You may have to move your money to a bank with a co -operating manager. -

Pattaya's Pedestrian Perils: Crumbling Walkways and Traffic Chaos
In a nut shell , Thai walkways are acceptable to Thai folks . They know no better . Walkway tiling around shopping malls may look nice but come the rain it turns into a slippery surface because non slip tiles were not used . Below are extracts from the Tourism authority of Thailand . The vast majority of physically challenged Thai people live in rural areas. Generally, it is the responsibility of families to care for and provide for their disabled relatives, and there is very little government help available. This includes a lack of services for physically challenged travelers, such as wheelchair ramps and elevators, and consequently, those who attempt to travel with disabilities in Thailand can have a challenging time Travel & Getting Around Thailand is not an easy place to visit for people with reduced mobility or other physical challenges. The larger resorts and tourist attractions provide facilities for disabled people, but in rural areas public transport is limited and often inaccessible to wheelchair users. Moving around the city can be extremely difficult for disabled people. The streets and pavements are uneven and few buildings provide ramps and handrails to aid disabled access. Guide dogs are rare and there are few audio signals for the blind at traffic crossings. Nonetheless, a project has been announced by the Bangkok governor along with the Disabled People International Asia-Pacific Region to ensure that Bangkok pavements are easily navigable for those with reduced mobility. A commitment has also been made to make public transport more accessible. So by their own admission they are aware of the hazards for pedestrians but as yet I have not heard of any plans to make improvements . Maybe the TAT should conduct a survey of tourists opinions of Thailand to include questions on health & safety .
