Traffic is just so bad, live near the bts somewhere and grab for anything beyond that. There are also great services available for further trips like huahin etc.
Though with a surname like yours you may prefer a car 😅
i don't make a habit of eating live creatures but of you think about it, fish eat live shrimp. And i think it would probably be a less painful death than being scooped up in a net and thrown into a crate to slowly suffocate on my way to a fish market to be eaten dead.
It's a pity fast track just means a longer wait for luggage. I used fast track with my APEC card last week and my colleagues arrived at the luggage carousel 15 mins later and ended up leaving a few mins before me
When searching for a place to live, the "dog friendly" filter takes about 80% of options out, but it does mean that the 20% left are full of dog owners which is good as they understand the needs of dogs and the dogs have others to play with. Our apartment near Nana has a fantastic dog park on the property and they're even building a dog friendly restaurant due to open soon. I suggest to find a good agent and speak to them about your housing needs. If you want to pm me i can give you the contact for the one we used, she was great
