For those of you older members you may remember 20 - 25 years ago when "content farms" were pumping out garbage, low quality website content and entire websites that could be used to post ads at. It was terrible, Google eventually woke up and changed the algorithm to push those sites and pages far far down off the search listings and the practice went away. AI has re-launched the same idea, this time with humans barely involved. -

Google is already full of total crap that is AI produced. Don't believe information unless it is cross checked in a few directions.... - Yesterday

I think AI development needs to be slowed down so that humanity has a chance to really understand the risks associated with it. Unfortunately, human greed makes that very, very unlikely - technocrats see billions and trillions of dollars to be made by this technology and using caution is just in their way. This goes way beyond image generation, of course. YouTube is already filled with AI generated garbage content that isn't declared - it should all be required to be labeled and filtered out if the user wants. -

I agree there were not as many exhibits as the previous year. Overall I enjoyed the day. I did manage to secure entry before the public were allowed to enter, which was a big advantage. I left round about 1400 hours so I may have missed some late arrivals . The rest of mine are on https://forums.pattayatalk.com/topic/73046-bangkok-expo-motor-show-plus-previous-motor-shows/page/4/#findComment-1340028 (I am just waiting for the moderators to update the title.) -

Pattaya Secrets still a thing?
Bruce Mangosteen replied to edwhy's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Hmmm... -
Thanks Jacko. Who was the owner and where did he go?
-
No, it has been gone a while. (Like the owner). It was empty and doing nothing for some time and has had a few attempts at reopening under various guises. Since Walking St area has been mostly taken over things have changes somewhat, couldn't tell you what it is now.... maybe a curry house.

Greetings all, Is Pattaya Secrets still around? Can’t seem to find the web site or the club itself. Years ago, I remember this place was a must when visiting Pattaya.

Hi Guys, Got a fairly strongly worded email informing me that my neglect of updating Pattayatalk needs to come to an end (haha). Its quite a bit behind in its security updates, so I am going to do a massive update today. With any luck at all the downtime if any will be minimal, but this update also moves us from PHP 7 to PHP 8.3, which is a huge jump... so I expect things to break. Once the site is back up I will post again here - and if you see anything broken, please yell out! --Frosty

Booking from Heathrow with Eva air .
awesum4 replied to Bamzzz's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
years ago we went to Rarotonga via Auckland. We booked the flights with my wife having her married name but her passport was in her former name. They weren't going to let her on the plane in Auckland because they wouldn't let her into the Cook Islands as the names didn't match. In the end the let us on and we worried all the way there. When we landed the really relaxed immigration official didnt even look at the passports just stamped them and said Haere Mai. -

" Whether this causes a problem is at the discretion of the ground staff. " Bruce has it here and its a shame because of the uncertainty . ANA fused my first and middle names on my tickets for 12 years. I kept expecting a problem but never was one on that issue. However at check-in at Dulles the agent refused boarding because I had no onward ticket. After a few tense minutes a senior staff arrived understanding what a Retirement Visa was and cleared. Maybe have a chat with Eva?. As always with anything to do with travel have a plan b. -

The name on your ticket won't match the name on your passport. Whether this causes a problem is at the discretion of the ground staff. Immigration and customs are generally not interested in your ticket except to check for whether you have an onward flight booked. I know this because the last time we went to Thailand the travel agent I used misspelled my wife's name on her ticket, replacing an "m" with an "n". That error is pretty subtle and I doubt all of them caught it, but the American ground staff for Asiana did before our trans-Pacific leg. -

Have to say I never put my middle name into the booking form. Never ever had a problem personally -

For an accurate response to prevent everything going tits up at the airport, you should be directing the problem to either Eva Air themselves or Skywings. Telling immigration/checkin as they refuse you boarding that a guy on an internet forum said it would be ok isn't going to wash!
