Only from the USA and on one of about 10 airlines. The entire pool of the settlement is $39 Million for what must be hundreds of thousands of flights over such a long time. Don't plan to retire on this any time soon.

Police curb searches of foreigners Harassment claims spur tighter rules Police in the Sukhumvit area have been ordered to halt all searches of foreign nationals without due process following concerns of police harassment. Pol Col Khajohnpong Jitpakpoom, the newly-appointed Thong Lor police superintendent, said unless a foreigner is acting suspiciously, his officers are prohibited from conducting random searches. “I have instructed police under my command to strictly refrain from searching foreigners or asking to see their passports unless it is necessary,” Pol Col Khajohnpong told the Bangko

tourist visa for Thai girl to UK
Grandpollo replied to Anfield's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
By up front is that the total cost and you pay it all at once or is that part of the cost and more to follow? 5,000 or $160 is not that bad to get someone to drone through paperwork for you, 50,000 or $1,600 is lunacy . You can get a lawyer for that. -

Grandpollo replied to MM's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
If you write to Da and Ib directly (having stayed there four times in the past) and ask for the RG rate for FLB do you get credit, MM? I found that if I failed to mention the FLB rate (which once happened in error) they did not deliver the FLB rate so now I mention it and the fact I have stayed there before. I hope that works. I am retiring end of July and before the year ends I will come back to Pattaya for maybe a couple months.- 24 replies

I can't see it working 100% of the time any more than idefix does. You could take over an account for malicious reasons by pretending someone's number was yours and you want that SIM deactivated and a new one given to you.

tourist visa for Thai girl to UK
Grandpollo replied to Anfield's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Is there anything a visa company can do that an individual cannot? I doubt it. 50,000 Bht for someone to fill out papers seems like a waste of 50,000 Bht. These documents cannot be that hard to either understand, or complete. Do people believe that these agencies which are just hole in the wall small businesses somehow have a pipeline into the decision makers in a consulate or in the immigration departments everywhere in the world? I seriously do not believe for a minute they have any "connections" at all. There are legitimate agencies that expedite visas for a fee but the qualific -
If you can get by with readers with the same scrip in each lens, like +1.5 or +2.5 etc., they are 100 baht in the Buaokow market and they have thousands. Warning, about 75% are the ugliest frames and colors you have ever seen, but the rest are OK. At home I buy mine on Amazon $20 for 6 pairs at a time because I set them down all over the house or I lose them or sit on them so $3 a pair is an OK price. Same as the market, how about that. Prescription are not really worth it unless your two eyes are wildly different for reading. If they are you can buy two pairs and make one by popping t

He was beaten with the tablet? The daughter had a tablet? Or he used a tablet? Inquiring minds want to know. There are a lot of Rooskie gals there and almost no men. Are they all on Soi 6 during beach time? Or invading Ukraine? -
registered sim cards and banned internet sites
Grandpollo replied to 9cisco999's topic in Technical problems or questions.
1. VPN for $35 a year 2. Go to Japan. Gaijin cannot have a cell phone at all, ouch. 3. Ask any convenient TG to get the phone for you. Keep in mind you , an ordinary guy get a cell phone and make ordinary calls and these mean nothing to anyone (the Thai government hasn't got a football stadium full of people listening in to a million simultaneous calls, especially in a language they don't understand). -
Under 50? Got a bit of cash? Here's your visa solution
Grandpollo replied to MM's topic in Expat Issues
If someone has the dosh and trust Thai banks, a term deposit is not the end of the world to stash $300,000 and make some interest. Probably less risky than a condo, especially at that price. If $300,000 (or so) is too much there is the renewed Thai Elite program - THB2,000,000 for a 5 year multi entry visa with no need to leave to reset annually. Strangely it is a 5 year visa granted but the program is for 20 years (elsewhere like the Thai consulate in Vancouver says it is for life), so after 5 years you have the privileges and no visa. OK Also free golf and free VIP at the airport -
There were announced flights from a startup LCC from "Pattaya" airport to Siem Reap and that seems to have vanished, if it ever started.

There are a few where you can download without using a torrent using one of the Firefox add-ins like videodownloadhelper in FLV format to watch or easily convert to MP4 such as movie4k.to, alluc.to and g-stream.in and for porn, playporn.to These let you stream to the computer and at least watch a bit to see if the download time is worth it. It is very easy on a mac to convert FLV to MP4 using handbrake as one free fast method. MPEG Streamclip as well. A lot of the movies are in MP4 anyway if they are hosted by Streamcloud.eu which many or most are.

Fingerprick INR test anywhere?
Grandpollo replied to Gus's topic in Doctors, Dentists, Clinics and Hospitals
Go to the Lifelabs lab off 3rd road just north of the overpass and before Soi 17/3rd road, on the water side of 3rd road. It is a 10 minute walk from the RG. There is a huge Laundry Express sign on the corner (on 3rd road) and it is only 1/2 a block in from that sign on 3rd road. This test they can probably do while you wait but you can come back an hour or 2 later. Very inexpensive. They do complete STD checkups for around 600 Baht which is an amazing deal. -
