The end of this week..... Effectively only 9 days earlier than planned though..... Seems premature although if what Bazle posted is true, a far different case. There is still a threat in this virus.

Don't get me started... I try to lighten the mood over there on TV with a wise crack and it is deleted in seconds and a Mod will make a post calling me a troll! I get more posts deleted over there in a week than I delete in a year on here. Mods don't have the power to re-organise the Forums and Sub Forums, we can move posts between them, but I am rather amused by people claiming there is no information in the Hotels Forum, when often one gets posts about guns and Politics in there. Don't be overly worried about the odd 'conversation,' we let them ride, but ultimately they get so far off topic..... here is an idea, start a new topic yourself in a suitable section. Nightmarch used to be a great regular poster, by Duncan Stern, as per Monkeywatch nowadays. I notice the previous post is discussing Thai tones and eels...... don't worry Bullfrog, I won't remove it,!?

It seems to be the factor commonplace in life these days and I see too much of it watching UK media... how quickly they forget the dead and dying.

And this morning I got an email about their pending bankruptcy, no sorry, business reorganisation.......

You have set your location as UK.....

Personally I hope they give it a little longer, seems like Thailand finds some infected people in their quarantine daily. I would have thought people would need to get back to work after returning to the UK.

So quiet and social distancing in Big-CX. I believe this used to be an 'Erotic Massage' place on Soi Buakhao, perhaps recently mentioned by @tallguy it is no more. Also Nemo's on Buakhao still shut, didn't think to check the one on Soi Diana. Nearby traditional places open. The rate on the street today, a TT Exchange is open! Hellfire crossing, with many fewer casualties these days. Soi Pothole looking quiet to the East...... And the West.... A few minutes earlier I was told 'no customer, no have money, hungry......' Not sure if I covered this with my tip....... I would have got more pics but rain drove me to the Mall.

Here is an archived thread on Thai Visa on this topic... https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1003931-used-car-transfer-registration/ Beware, it is a few years old and I believe that you can have out of province plates now. It is over a decade since I bought a car, and then I did have to transfer it from Bangkok plates to Chonburi plates, which required trips to Chonburi City. I suspect it can all be done in Pattaya now... if it is open currently.

This measure would have been better employed some months back.....

I just did one, to Bangkok Bank via Transferwise. It arrived exactly as an International transfer would. I did select the option 'Funds for Long Term Stay in Thailand'.

I seem to recall the jeepneys being very uncomfortable, hard as rock suspension, but more experience in Manila.

I would rent a bigger bike for the day, like a PCX. What will that be, 300 baht or so, plus fuel? Hence avoiding the biggest problem, being dropped at Robinsons and struggling to get transport from there to the hospital...I know I had problems finding one of them once as it was well away from Sukhumvit. More an issue might be getting caught in a thunderstorm. People who usually spend time in Pattaya or Bangkok are often surprised how getting about on public transport is difficult in other Thai towns.

Is what unprecedented, the drought or the heavy rain? The drought has been exceptional due to poor rains last year, the current rain, well might be slightly early in the season but is far from unusual. Down to a drizzle now but the skies rumble on. https://weather.tmd.go.th/svp120Loop.php

I have no idea, I can say if they had the same rainfall there, their level should be somewhat higher. Trouble is, unlike my pool, a lake gets wider/bigger as it gets deeper.

Again last night was very heavy and persistent rain in my area, and looking at the radar map it looks widespread.Woken up by thunderstorms at 1am, and it is still raining this morning. I expect floods in town and my estimate is 4-5 inches of rain fell (12-13cm). Lakes should have benefited.

Patties or links at Denny's after a night in a bar.....!Heaven knows where they got this idea from in Asia!

Had a lot of rain yesterday in my area, garden needs cutting and I could do a back-wash on the pool!

Showing a bit of ignorance there, Brits would never have hot dogs for breakfast. If I recall even MM thought it heinous. You get the butterflied and deep fried ones here with an 'American breakfast,' truly disgusting!

If my memory does not fail me, I may even have given you a positive nod wrt the O-A some years ago, recommending it as very suitable for you. Then along came the insurance obligation and now I have a guilty conscience!

Yes I quite enjoyed it too, yes a bit gloomy and dark. Fits the times.
