Should be really fun navigating after a big rain.

It is closed and being torn down or ? I walked by several weeks ago. Shame as it was one of the last of old Pattaya type of hotels. Never stayed there though but admired it.

I just moved out of the Grand three months into a six month lease. HAPPILY forfeited my deposit as I’m not putting up with the road construction and mud that will follow and trying to drive my motorbike through the mess. TG in high heels won’t be thrilled about visiting either.

One way or round trip?

Forgot to mention that I plan on returning October 15th. As of now if you’re vaccinated and arrive after 1 October you will not have to quarantine. Subject to change of course.

As of now, yes

I plan on going back to the USA in July for three months. While there I will get my vaccines (Pfizer) through the VA. Getting back shouldn’t be too much hassle as I already have my retirement visa and re entry permit. Hopefully upon returning I won’t have to quarantine if vaccinated if the policy remains in effect.

Because of white privilege. No doubt.

That’s a great price. Never seen that route so cheap. AA does not fly into BKK so must be a Japanese carrier from Japan. JAL is a good airline. My preferred airline when I would fly to BKK as they depart directly from San Diego. I didn’t see the layover time.

Good point. I had mine set up and activated when I opened my account. Not sure if you need to go to your original branch when you set up your account. TIT. I really like this feature.

I also have a Kasikorn account with the mobile app on my smartphone. The careless feature is great imo. Uses scan technology. No need to carry a card and worry about losing it, leaving in the ATM, phishing etc.

Agree with the above post and many older units have larger balconies. The key is to find one that’s been updated.

I have come across a good deal on an auto purchase from a local Pattaya Thai. I have my Thai drivers license, residence certificate and retirement visa. They have the paperwork for the vehicle. I’m curious if there’s a link for the buying procedure. My first auto purchase in Pattaya. Or is there any third party agencies to bring all requirements and have them complete the transfer and ensure everything in accordance to Thai law. I’ll pay the fee to avoid dealing with DLT office. Thanks

Ive never had to lie on my income verification. I have supporting documents to prove ready to show. Sounds like a good idea to me. Keep out some of the riff raff that should not be here anyway.

Care to post WHY your selling?

I'm into nonfiction. Mostly military history, U.S. Civil War, Philippine Insurrection, China, WW2 (Pacific).

Google "St Brendan Isle mail forwarding". I don't need their service yet but when and if I do they would be my first choice. They are based out of Florida and work alot with full time RV people, yachtsman, merchant mariners etc. They also have the physical address you want and can use them as your state domicile.

Not a problem if you file and pay your taxes like the majority of Americans do. While I don't like paying taxes as much as the next guy I do it anyway to avoid issues like the OP posted.

Very interesting. Thanks for the input.

To add to this, last week I was there for a seven-day extension on my 30 day visa on arrival. I use the private office next door for my photo and to fill out the forms. The immigration lady gave me 30 days versus the seven days I had requested. That was 30 days from when my original 30 day ended. The price was still 1900 baht. I must be hansum man.

Thanks for all the feedback fellas!

Hello All, First of all I did use the search engine on forums but got nothing directly related to the title. I have several Tommy Bahama silk shirt here that look like crap when they come back from the regular laundry shops even when "pressed". I looking for a professional dry cleaners like I use back in Cali where they come back looking great. Anyone know of any good dry cleaners in Central Pattaya? Thanks

May I suggest 1. Helmut For My Pillow by Robert Leckie 2. With The Old Breed/Pelilu/Okinawa by Eugene Sledge 3. Red Blood Black Sand. These are WWII books written by the Marines who experienced the battles. HBO series THE PACIFIC was based on these.
