back home now. soi5 for a day and to agency's. no reentry permits for visa. 2months and done. must get o-a visa. if renter you get tourist visa.

I think you lost🙃

Really good day for this time of year.

Can you still see the islands or light bouy?😷

see what happens when i hit bkk immigration. jomtien will be day 1 for reporting and trying to get multi entry stamp. will have to take picture of e-mail and hope works for drivers license unless entry stamp states o-visa. should be educational and time consuming.

my last o visa (cat-F) was same mail in passport stamp etc. this year was told and just received o-visa in e-mail. print-out or download e-mail. no download from embassy . only single entry given. was only option. anyone entered on this new type visa yet? assuming i will have to report to Pattaya immigration soi 5 first day. hoping to get multi entry at that time as i still travel alot.

they need a bigger truck. 🚳

Seems it is starting a little early this year. did see where they are recommending n95 mask again. If you are outside for periods of time. pm2 is not civilized enough to come inside.

2026 will be 50 years coming here and i still see things that amaze me.

was just there in July. saw utube video of soi buakhao it had bright yellow strips and white lane lines. do not remember seeing those then. not that it matters to drivers anyway.

beach chair mafia is still trying on beach road for parking.

Strong baht 30 vs world currency. weak baht 50 vs world currency, the EEC project to make them stronger has hurt the tourist industry. ( not cheap anymore.) powers at be want strong economic base. it comes at a price.

friend just back from first low season. great trip as always. compares to high season cheaper hotels,etc. the P4P market not so much. maybe juts us or not. girls rates and bar have gone up. we figured in exchange rate changes from previous trips.😪 the strong baht is killing it. average 30% cut. that jumps what use to be the mill to bill. just our 2 bahts worth.

I went thru hkg last august. all united clubs were still closed. no showers or food. they closed the showers in nrt also. ana lounge in hnd/nrt have showers but you have to book in advance. long 17 from ord.flew non-stop lax to bkk on thai arways once. 18 hours it only lasted 1 year.

😃Ah the memories. enjoyable as always
