This is a pretty informative video which covers things like changing your departure date:

I have a mate who is flying from the UK to Thailand tomorrow with some other guy (XXX). I have just received this message from him, which I think is worth sharing: "XXX and I had a fun time trying to get our TDACs sorted yesterday. Whether it was using my phone, my PC, XXX's work PC or his private one, we were getting drop-downs that didn't do so, text that we inserted into those fields disappearing, and eventually getting Bad Gateway error messages that even prevented us from getting back into the site. We tried again around 10pm, and it was an absolute breeze, with no issues whatso

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but I have just logged-on to their website with no problems at all - https://www.namstaxiladydrivers.com When you click on "Book now", all that happens is that a draft email is created (to namsladydrivers@gmail.com). You don't really need the website to write an email, provided you know her email address.

The last two times I have arrived, the entrance to the main area was cordoned off, and non-Thais were being told to move along to the next Immigration area. Thais were being allowed through, and I saw no sign about Priority. It was only that I knew where I wanted to go that I was Mr Awkward, and joined the Thais. Inevitably, I was challenged by the IOs, and had to show them my passport to prove my age. (Aged 70 and over entitled to use Priority.)

According to a paper published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal on Monday (3 February), air pollution appears to be a major contributor to worldwide cases of lung cancer.

I think it is a contract (often for 10 days) under which the girls work.

If he is realistic about the price (yes, a big IF! ) I think the adjacent ladyboy gogo will take it over.

Members of the third sex, I think.

The air pollution has started in Bangkok again. I guess it won't be long before Pattaya is suffering as well. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2879792/toxic-smog-returns-to-greater-bangkok Several areas in Bangkok and nearby provinces were blanketed with hazardous levels of smog on Tuesday, the pollution trapped in stagnant air.

Same, same!

That sounds like the CIA!

Here's one!

Apparently, there are 12 of them around, so it might not have been the same one. https://www.pattayamail.com/news/pattaya-launches-electric-baht-buses-to-tackle-long-term-pollution-459186#:~:text=A fleet of twelve electric,and embracing sustainable transit solutions.”

An article in The Pattaya News back in April said: "The Bay Pattaya, a beachfront project located on Soi 5-6 along Beach Road, is set to undergo a significant makeover to become a 24/7 entertainment and shopping complex." (https://thepattayanews.com/2024/04/18/the-bay-pattaya-to-transform-into-24-7-entertainment-shopping-complex/) There are certainly changes going on there. Starbucks has been established there for a long time. Now, on the opposite corner, there is a new restaurant - "Dolce Vita". Immediately to the left of that, another transformation looks to b

One of the new electric Baht buses, with apologies if already posted:

This place has opened relatively recently. It is on Second Road, at the intersection with the sub-soi that leads to Ruen Thai and Casa Pascal. Their website: https://www.njshabu.com Please leave a comment if you have tried it.

The number of palm trees along Beach Road seems to have increased considerably over the last few months:

I'm very pleased to find upon my return that the air pollution in Pattaya is not noticeable:

Walking along Beach Road (Pattaya) this afternoon, I noticed a new Korean restaurant - Hanok, beside Basaya Beach Hotel, between Pattaya Klang and Soi 6. I think it might just be on the verge of opening as it didn't look operational, but there were girls inside taking photos of each other - like a staff shoot.
