The amnesty sems to have been extended to Sept 26th. but if anyone wants to stay beyond that they need to move. This is likely been done to prevent a July 31st mad dash to immigration by the rumoured 300,000 to 400,000 foreigners 'stuck' here. Foreigners can apply for visa extensions after July 31 Applications considered on case-by-case basis until Sept 26 https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1953220/ Don't take my word on this as it is fresh news, and usually the dust needs to settle to see the reality. As it reads, if you plan to fly out of Thailand before Sept 26th, no need to extend if you previously qualified for amnesty.

I think a lot of us have our own method and as such different approaches are alien to us, I would be confused by, as I never use, Whatsapp. nor Line and am likely as much a Luddite as you because of it. I also only visit the forum when at home on a laptop or pad. It has become my habit to move or copy any pics, which I do wish to post, onto my Onedrive, and this is then accessible to me from my laptop, That step is of course on the phone..... where the pics initially are created. Then I open the Onedrive folder on the laptop and drag and drop into the lower area of the posting box, next to the paperclip. Every now and again I cannot find pics I thought I had moved to Onedrive, and I need to sign out of it and back in again on the Laptop, to get it to refresh. I really could not imagine doing this on my little phone screen.....with my fat fingers.

I hope so....

It is all about re-work here, makes me think of the R-Con corner.

Never had a problem to get to get a M/C Taxi homeward and it is not far. During the Covid lockdown it was dark and dodgy everywhere.

Me too. Is the bar area going to be open too...? I have yet to see the latest on the relaxation of restrictions.

If it rained in town like it did at my place last night it got a good testing.

A cheap place to stay occasionally for those normally out of town, who like a night out and unable to drive home.

Except my bank which offers free transfers.... TW is preferred simply because they offer far better exchange rates. If anything their transfer costs are high for the type I do.

I had one done 14 months back at BHP.... bloody horrible.

I have never held a bank account with TW, ie lodged funds. Interesting concept...can I transfer Sterling into Thai baht for them to hold and pull it back into the UK as Sterling later at the current rate.... seems a way of currency hedging?

How often are the Ekamai buses running? Might do a few days myself.

Never knew who owned it, but it sure looked out of place empty like that. I would not have sneaked in there for a pee though, all sorts of dodgy characters hanging about there, apparently you were one of them. Was there a pumpkin house in North Pattaya or did I imagine it a few times?

Much appreciated pic report. You mentioned a few places I am familiar with.... no more Windsor Suites for me eh? The pic of your hat, sitting on a stuffed elephant, well I will not say what it looked like at first glance!

It stayed empty a darn sight longer than I expected..... like the bit that used to be between Beach Rd and 2nd... I think it became VT 6 eventually.

Here come a few million quid apartments perhaps?

Are you aware of what has happened recently at Burnley wrt BLM?

I presume this is your question? Personally I just avoid weekends for this reason....Mine seem to take at least 24 hours these days, from the time the money is pulled from my UK account, and I transfer into Bangkok Bank. Thai holidays will extend that but you would be unfortunate if it took a week. Thai banks would not receive over the weekend.

Any BM can use the reputation system within the rules, and expect not to be called a coward, something you seem to like to do. Your post had 23 references to USA, USA Cities, teams or players, and only 3 to the UK, where the Premiership is. We need not discuss this.

I have to accept the predictions of those who likely know better than me, so yes. Short term I hope. Many felt Thailand's currency would fall with Covid, well so far it has not, relative to Sterling, and it has improved against the USD.

Because it is off topic and a distraction!

It is what the BofE is doing, tied in with the predictions of how the UK Economy will fall more than that ot the other developed nations.

All a bit scruffy and unkempt at the beginning, Brentford I guess.

Curse of the Pink Panther

International passengers arriving go into quarantine, and there are not really any scheduled flights out except domestic, would there be many domestic to domestic transfers?
