  1. I almost missed that Pattaya Beer Garden reopened! ???? One of my favorite spots in Pattaya since many years. Nice location (it is the first building right a the beginning of walking street which is built into the sea), reasonable prices (jug of Chang draft is 175THB) and good portions of food. Plus they play nice music which is not too loud so that you can still have a talk with your friends. http://www.pattayabeergarden.com/ I am afraid that the menu on their homepage is not up to date.
  2. It is probably the best to go to immigration office to do the TM30 in the first 3 days after arrival if there is any chance that you plan to extend your visa. The condo owner can register online to do TM30 online. Be aware that the web page to do TM30 may not working properly. I was told in January by immigration officers that the web page does not work since many months, even so it is online and you will not see a proper error message when using it. They actually found it funny that I tried to use the page and they still can charge me the 1600THB fine. I in turn did not find this very funny. There is an APP which you may be able to install - or not - and it may work - or not. You can find more information in this forum. The risk to pay the fine is practically limited to the case where you need to extend the visa, BUT you better keep in mind that YOU are held for breaking the law not doing the TM30 even so the law clearly states that this is the condo owners obligation.

    Bowling

    I was oping for a hidden gem, if not in Pattaya then maybe nearby. Or some news if there will be a new development replacing PS Bowl and Blue Rythm bowling. If the list was complete it is at least useful information for others. I learned in the meantime that The Wave bowling at Palm Beach has a technician on site from Friday to Sunday. So will play there at weekends.

    Bowling

    Thank you for your reply. PS Bowl is closed forever. I assume that the complete building will be taken down and replaced by a high building, as this is in Pattaya's prime location. I expected the bowling in The Avenue to be closed just temporarily, but the staff of the cinema next to it said it is forever. A shame. Lawn bowling must be something different than 10 pin bowling, as it is on played grass. Not what I am looking for.

    Bowling

    Unfortunately PS Bowl at Pattaya Klang closed last year ???? Blue Rythm Bowling in The Avenue has closed as well. The one opposite of Central Marina closed years ago. There is a small one in Central Festival called SF Bowl, but with 180THB per game they are pretty expensive plus that their fancy light and loud music is not really what a bowler is looking for. I found another small one in Palm Beach at Jomtien with 12 lanes. Actually quite OK and price is 120THB per game. But as these lanes seldom see guests, maintenance could be better, especially the oil patterns. Anyway, this is the best option I found so far. Any other recommendations?
  6. Just did not want to give up, so I tried again today. App installed this time without any issue and was able to register the tm30 notifications. Thank you wasabi!
  7. Thank you for sharing your experience. Which source did you use to download the APK?
  8. The issue wasn't the android configuration. I was able to start the installation, but it failed without a specific error. I assume the instllation might work on elder android versions, but I have none available here right now. You are right, as this will be a frequent issue with every trip to Thailand it would be nice to find a convenient solution as it used to be years back. Maybe immigration can give some advise, but I doubt they can.
  9. Hi, thank you for the links to the App. Unfortunately it is not available in my Playstore. The version from Apkpure fails to install on my device (Android 9). Looks as if we have to head to Jomtien to do some good old paper works.
  10. Thank you for your reply. I checked for an android app and found "immigration eServices" which only allows to do the 90 day notification. The "Chonburi immigration" app allows application for visa, but also no TM30. Looks as if we have to visit the office in Jomtien.
  11. Hi, I am trying to report me and my spouse via the online system for TM30 at https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn24online/ I can enter the data for us, but when I finally save the list it says (translated) that "some error accrued:", but no details about this error. It worked well 2 years ago. I tried filling in directly on the web page as well a using the excel template for upload. By the way: which visa type should be selected for 30 day visa exemption? Thank you very much!
  12. Different media published news, that there are plans to change the rules for "Thailand Pass" from RT-PCR to antigen tests an that "the replacement is in line with the second phase of the reopening starting from Dec 1." Antigen tests could be performed at the Airport. So not more SHA++ Hotels required? It is also said that a fee of 50THB for the vaccination certificate will be issued. Not a big deal cost wise, but sounds like long queues of passengers.
  13. No, you must apply for a new pass. The pass is valid for the one arrival day only. Even if you reschedule your trip you must apply for a new pass. But you may enter twice at the same day - theoretically.
