😆 a no thank you isn’t always going to get them to leave you alone.

it’s not an easy language to learn. I’m still not where I want to be. I’ve been coming to Thailand for 10+ years. I’ve been married for almost 7. I was always spending a month here and there during the year. I’ve now been here a year straight. I find being here, listening and watching TV helps a lot. I still can’t get the pronunciations down 100%.

YouTube and Facebook have been a help as well. I was signed up for Thai language class but I had to exit as I had a family emergency back home. My next step is doing classroom learning. I personally think that is the best way to learn Thai.

Absolutely the worse taxi guys, after Phuket of coarse. I was there with my wife and her cousin after a trip back from Roi Et. They would not stop harassing us to take a taxi. All they did was assume we wanted to go to Pattaya. They can be aggressive until you say something back to them. It’s funny listening to them speak as they assume I don’t speak or understand Thai. Needless to say, once I spoke up they backed off.

@Callum *******

you didn’t do a visa run. You did a border bounce, big difference.

From what I gather, you’ve flown in the first time and you used a land border the second time. So you’re ok with doing one more land border crossing for the year. As you’re only allowed two land border crossing in a calendar year.

You should be fine re-entering Thailand. I would suggest you print off all documents you have pertaining your future employment offer.

Paul James that’s understandable. Helping out your own staff and being employed as a bar attendant or sever is another story. I’ve seen mangers helping out around their own bar many times. But, I have yet to see a foreigner employed in such role.

I’ve been to hundreds of bars in pattaya. I have yet to see one foreigner working behind the bar. All I’ve ever seen were owners and managers. I’d be surprised to see any serving drinks.

@Phillip *******

the days get added to it. You don’t lose days when you go early. Unless you’re applying for the 60 day married to a Thai extension.

I’ve been in that line up before, it wasn’t fun standing out there for hours in the heat.

It’s a dangerous spot too. I seen a woman get hit by a motorcycle there trying to cross the road. So many people next to a busy road = accidents just waiting to happen.

The company I have been using do a day trip to Cambodia. 3500baht.
