The Gekko Garden Restaurant on Sri Donchai Rd. offers a large Farang menu as well as Thai food. It offers good food and good value for the money. They will be doing a Thanksgiving buffet, as well as their regular Sunday night buffet. -

Bank of Thailand Interest Rate Cut Offers Boost to Tourism Sector
In convoluted theory, according to the article, a stronger baht means lower interest rates which means lower borrowing costs. That means tour operators can borrow more money cheaper, to do things to attract more tourists! Ah believes this is something called spin! -

You might want to leave the new passport a little while. The UK no longer adds extra months to the expiry date in the case of early renewal. -

Why are most movies released post-2000 unwatchable?
The ones that are listed are excellent movies. Asian movies, some, are okay, but Hollywood still reigns supreme and probably always will. I'm not referring to kids action movies, where much of it is CG. John Woo has made some good movies but most of what's made in Asia pales by comparison. -

Re-Entry Permit in "6th Year" of Privilege Visa
Has anyone obtained a re-entry permit after their Thailand Privilege (Thailand Elite) visa has expired, but while still permitted to stay in Thailand (as per the permission of stay stamp)? I read through another thread that mentioned someone else on here had posted about doing so at an airport, but that their request had been rejected at an immigration department. I couldn't find the original post. Any advice would be much appreciated. -

Why is Russia such a cesspool?
What does reading history have to do with your post? Weren’t pretty much all European societies peasant societies? Much like Australia was a convict society and early settlers to America killed, raped and pillaged and practically committed genocide. What were you implying by “They are still a peasant society”? -

Phuket taxi driver hits foreign man on airport zebra crossing
“Safety” sadly is not uppermost in the minds of the Government or the people in Thailand. Tourists should be warned of that but some like those who hire motorcycles would ride without helmets! As one example. parents drive kids on their motorcycles without any protection! I know poverty is a factor but to put your child’s life at risk speaks volumes and should alert us to the fact that any industry or workplace does not implement and monitor health and safety. all should be educated, drivers and pedestrians. I won’t step on a zebra unless the driver looks like stopping! We are responsible for taking our own safety into consideration. Having said that prosecution for the driver for failing to stop, should be automatic!- 1

extension of non-o visa (retirement) with 11 months left until expiry of British passport
Although not relevant for the OP as he's said he's not travelling, one thing to watch out for when you have a UK passport is that for travel to the EU it must be less than 10 years old. I.E. if (like me) you renewed your previous passport 7 months early, you wouldn't be able to get into the EU with 6 months remaining on it as the passport would be 10 years & 1 month old. https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/entry-exit/non-eu-nationals/index_en.htm OP: If you're in the Pattaya area then I'd recommend going to Thai Visa Express https://thaivisa-express.com/ for 12,000B (Includes a Jumbo Passport) they'll do it all for you without you having to go to Bangkok Twice & for an extra 1,000B they'll transfer over your visa/extension/re-entry permits... -

Kamala Harris Defends Policy Stance in Heated Fox News Interview
I think they looked at that juicy Biden/Harris war chest and put Harris forward knowing that's the only choice they had to keep that money in play. Little did they know they'd be raising about a $billion, no matter who they put up against The Donald. Had they known, they'd have chosen wiser.
