  1. Basically avoid the checkpoints and use the back streets. The checkpoints are always in the same place. Outside Tony's gym. At the junction with the Pratumnak on the Thrapaya road. At the roundabout near Terminal 21. I don't know of any others
  2. 8 years ago like an idiot I drove after a few beers towards the checkpoint outside Tony's gym in Pattaya. I was stopped keys to my car taken. I was taken into a small office with my wife at the checkpoint, he took my licence and he left it on top of a cabinet. Whilst he was out my wife took the licence and hid it. On his return we insisted he had my licence already and he said he would find it later. Anyway we got taken to Pattaya police station and sat down in the waiting area. After a while a policeman came out of the negotiating room and asked for 30,000 and no overnight prison or court. My wife negotiated it down to 20k. We did not have the money or ATM card on us so we agreed to meet him in Jomtien the next day. He took my wife's ID card as security. He then took us outside, called the checkpoint to expect us and got us a motorbike taxi. On arrival back at the checkpoint I was given my car keys back and allowed to drive home. Next day we met the policeman and gave him 20,000 and that was the end of it.
  3. You are obviously doing something wrong. Alternatively they are worried you won't show up.
  4. Don't you just love it when an OP asks a question and then doesn't check back for replies. Can't be that urgent.
  5. Unless you have travelled in Thailand and a TM30 registered in your name in a hotel or something a new TM30 is not required in Jomtien. My TM30 is from 2018 and I leave for 4 months every year and re enter Thailand with a Retirement extension and a reentry permit to the same address. Never had to file a new TM30, yes at Jomtien immigration.
  6. First 90 day report after what. Have you ever used the online system before? If you have ignore those that tell you the first one has to be done in person. I am on a Retirement extension and every year I visit the UK for 4 months and return to Thailand to the same address with a re entry permit. First online 90 day works no problem. This year I entered on a new passport. I had the stamps transferred to my new passport, again my first 90 online worked perfectly.
  7. I agree, coupled with the fact that she has to have lived continuously in the UK for the previous 2.5 years. Now if she has had many 2 month holidays in this period they may consider that she has breached this requirement.
  8. Just another of this OP's wind up posts and everyone falling for it.
  9. Its you that's getting confused pal. He is not talking about a yearly vehicle inspection to get road tax. He is saying his car insurance wants photos of his car and bodywork before they will insure it for another year. This has to be carried out by their rep. This has nothing to do with a car reliability check, totally not the same. You need to offer an apology for your condescending posts.
  10. Pill with imprint NL is Brown, Oval and has been identified as Imipramine Hydrochloride 50 mg. It is supplied by Abbott Laboratories. Imipramine is used in the treatment of Enuresis; Interstitial Cystitis; Depression; Primary Nocturnal Enuresis; Pain and belongs to the drug class tricyclic antidepressants
  11. Don't get sucked into the OP's post. No way is he serious and it's just another of his mindless wind ups. Along with certain other members, they should be banished from the forum.
  12. Yes exactly. When they restocking the fridges they don't move the bottles from the back to the front. The other thing some bars do is turn the fridges off overnight and then on when they open. The fridge then has to work extra hard to chill the beer and use more electricity. At home my beer always goes from the fridge to the freezer for 30 minutes before I drink it, I like it ice cold. I also drink from a Yeti stainless steel tumbler which keeps the beer ice cold in these hot temperatures.
  13. Must be the only beer with a best before date over here then. Most have fill dates.
  14. How about me. Sleep until 9am. Make a coffee and take it back to bed with my young wife until 10. Quick shower and both down the gym until 1pm. A bit of lunch and then do any necessary jobs, if not chill inside with all doors and windows open in front of the fan. Too hot and too many flies outside. 5.30 take the dog for a walk she likes to sleep all day. 6.30 pm hook up my TV outside and watch anything I want via my IPTV service. Have a beer if I want and eat when hungry. 11pm bed. 12 midnight sleep.
  15. Horrible beer. How is it possible to have a fill date of 10/24?
  16. The supermarkets like Big C and Lotus's are the worse. They do not rotate their beer stocks. Its quite common to see a large stock of beer ie Leo with the new cases on top whilst underneath there are cases months old.
  17. That's told me then hasn't it. I wonder why they have this facility to hold the rate for 2 hours etc. Surely its to help the customer get a better rate, that's what I assumed anyway, obviously wrong.
  18. The whole point of the transfer later option is to get a better rate. That is why Wise introduced it. You are not gaming the system by doing it, just using the option provided. I can't see why any penalty would apply. Have you got any evidence of this?
  19. Tree Town Bar 39 previously Buzzin Bar. All local bottle beers Happy hour 39 baht, great deal.
  20. It's so sad that people like you just don't get it. My retirement extension is totally legal and is authorised by my local Immigration office and is signed by exactly the same senior officer who does ALL extensions. No special markings to highlight how it was obtained. Get a life, this has been around for years and will be for many many more.
  21. Why not fly EVA, as far as I know they allow 2 x23kg hold luggage
