Relax man, you got calm down. Not that serious. However long it takes you to go 80 km is up to you. Have a good one. ✌🏾.

@Ken ********

exactly to each his own,.that is the most beautiful thing about Thailand so many choices for everyone. Pattaya is the very best place to drink beer and hangout with females. But it's cool that you can find whatever you are looking for in Thailand. Paradise. 😃

To the Pier is an hour and 15 minutes from Pattaya Central.

@Ramses *************

not helping the economy, more money in the economy chasing the limited amounts of goods and services, equals inflation. When expat comes in and is willing to pay more for an apartment or condo, it means that Thai person does not have the opportunity to competitively compete for that same apartment based on their income. It will drive the citizens away or increase prices for them. If the amount of goods and services does not increase, it does not make life better. The gentrification of Thailand is a real possibility, and we can at least acknowledge that fact.

But you know, China is making it easier to obtain Visa as they are seeking more expats. 🤷🏾‍♂️😁.

Drug use by young adults is extremely high in Thailand. Many are smoking methamphetamine for cheap. It's a real problem unfortunately. Too cheap and too easy to get. Other drugs as well amongst the kids. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I must admit, I just did this and was drinking on a motobike. I just stopped and turned around.

Book another hotel and then dispute charge with your credit card company. Tell them your complaint. Not sure your travel insurance will cover you..all worth a shot, but me personally I would just book another hotel, even of it's just to take showers in. 😀.

@Marty ********

sure was not quite clear of all the requirements needed to be met or just one requirement to be declared a wealthy individual. The 500k invested in Thailand would be a challenge.

@Marty ********

so the $100k is that an actual bank account or could it be a brokerage account holding. What is the cost for LTR?

Did you do FBI check or local? When I was adopting I wrote down a disorderly conduct charge. There was absolutely no record of it anywhere. Took me more effort to explain why there was no record of it, I had to get affidavits from city and state saying they could not find a criminal record. Moral of the story don't disclose frivolous stuff, especially if you had no conviction on a misdemeanor 🤣.
