Do I Have to Carry My Passport
I only time I carry my original passport if I am going to immigration, if I have a significant bank transaction or if I'm entering or leaving the country. Otherwise I carry a color copy of my passport with a color copy of my current visa page on the back, in my wallet and that's always sufficient along with a Thai driver's license or a pink card for hotels and such. Never been an issue. -

13 years since my last visit
What I forgot to say in my post above was my first visit to Pattaya was a holiday in 1997. I returned frequently and then lived there from 2004 for about 14 years. I particularly remember a visit in November 2001 when there were very few tourists and the girls were quite desperate. The go-go bars in Walking Street would be empty at times or just a few punters. The girls were extremely ‘friendly’, would want to stay all night and ‘go the extra mile’ to ensure satisfaction and that I’d go back for more. Their cunning tactics certainly worked and I went back for a month several times a year. (After 11 flights Thai Airways gave me a free one, plus upgrade to Business) I recall walking down Soi 7 which was lined deeply with girls. I was the only foreigner there l, and as I continued down the street a roar went up of the girls shouts ‘Whoaaaaa’, this followed me all the way down the street accompanied by the ‘sexy man’ shouts and girls grabbing me and trying to drag me in. Everything was very cheap and with the high exchange rates I needn’t consider the price, and had the most wonderful times. Those were the days! -

Lifeguards and Foreigner Save Man from Sea Suicide Attempt in Pattaya
Photo via Facebook/ TMN Cable TV Pattaya In a dramatic rescue off Pattaya's coast on March 26, two Thai lifeguards, Chayanon and Narongrit, along with a foreign bystander, successfully saved a Thai man named Pisit from an apparent suicide attempt. Pisit was struggling in strong waves, having choked on seawater, when the rescuers pulled him to safety. The incident began when a concerned beachgoer alerted the lifeguards to Pisit, who appeared to be intentionally entering the turbulent sea. Despite the challenging conditions, the lifeguards managed to bring him ashore with the foreigner's assistance. Exhausted and clearly distraught, Pisit declined to give much information, only requesting the lifeguards contact his mother using details from his suicide note. Once at the Marine Rescue Centre, a video call was made to his mother, during which Pisit tearfully expressed his love for her. Pisit's mother, upon learning of his whereabouts, travelled from Saraburi to Pattaya. She revealed that Pisit had run away from home on February 14, the same day he was supposed to graduate. Unknown to her, he had dropped out in 2022, a secret that came to light only after his disappearance. While his mother suspected Pisit was dealing with depression, she assured the media of her unwavering support and relief at his safety. The lifeguards decided not to press Pisit with further questions, allowing him to rest and recover emotionally. This compassionate intervention underscores the critical role of both professional lifeguards and vigilant civilians in responding effectively to mental health crises, offering a lifeline to those in distress, reported The Thaiger. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai), or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress, or depression. Seek help. -- 2025-03-27
