Andy Crocket I agree, that was a very long post to end with: Reservation canceled with a full refund.

I had a great time chilling on the beach, watching the fireworks in Pattaya. Did Patong, Phuket one year, way way too many people, in too small a space.

There is a Multiple Entry Visa available.

Solo, is the best way to travel to Thailand. IMHO.

US citizens get 30 Days Visa Exempt or can obtain E-Visa online for 60 Days.

Don't know the names. Just know there been 2 different schools available, in the village and in Sattihip. Depending how much family was willing to pay.

In the Thai public schools, there are usually 2 levels. 1. Basic level. And a Second level for families who can afford to pay more. Not nearly as much as international schools. When we moved to Sattahip, we enrolled our daughter in the second level. There is a significant improvement over her former school.

Make sure to keep your last boarding pass. My last time in, officer asked to see my hotel booking. I've been asked to show hotel booking a couple of times.

I opened a bank account while on Visa exempt status in Pattaya @ Bangkok Bank. Merely needed a Thai to vouch for me and a Letter of Residency Letter I obtained from immigration in Jomtien. Also, they offered to open an account if I purchased their insurance first, without the immigration visit. Try going to a Bangkok Bank Branch in a high international tourist area like Asoke Sukhumvit Area.

Leave it in original container and unopened.
