We used Thai Vietjet for our recent BKK-CNX trip; has anyone else had experience of this airline?

Hello everyone I never been in Thailand. And I got the opportunity to go there on 2023 May (first half). I know that peak season is in November to February. Is May a good enough month to visit Thailand? I hope that gay districts with bars and massage parlors are active and not deserted during that period (on normal circumstances, without covid conditions) in Bangkok/Pattaya. For example how is the situation in Pattaya Jomtien Supertown. Are many boys available to off?

I found this information online. https://tdl-service.com/thailand-vehicle-transfer-of-ownership-car-or-motorbike-in-your-name-how-to/ They say that I would need a resident card or work permit. I have neither, but I would like to buy a motorbike. Does anyone know a way around this?

The following post was made by Jellybean on the Sawatee Forum; kjun12 was also a member of gayguides forum. It is with a deep sense of sadness that today, November 8th, 2022, I report the sudden death of my American friend and fellow member, kjun12. May he rest in peace. https://sawatdeenetwork.com/v4/showthread.php?22955-kjun12-R-I-P&p=292924#post292924

Hi Guys, I've read on this forum that the best place to do so is at the airport before exiting (level -3 or something) rather than in BKK. Is this also rcmmndd if I'm heading straight to Pattaya, or is there a better option in P? If still at the airport, should I notify Mark's taxi in advance (bcs it might cause a delay)?

From the Thaiger Whether you’re visiting Thailand for business or pleasure, it’s always beneficial to understand the local language. Learning useful Thai phrases means showing effort and respect for the local culture. It will help ease interactions between you and the locals, making your trip more accessible and more enjoyable. Since Thai is a tonal language, it can be challenging to learn. You’ll likely make mistakes at first, but don’t let that discourage you. Even if you pronounce something wrong, most locals will still appreciate your effort and may even help you pronounce it correctly. Khap and ka Before continuing with the greetings and other u…

Hello! After quite some time reading the posts here, I have finally decided to make my first trip to Bangkok. Circumstances aligned that offered me a week to spend in Thailand in early November. Using the posts here and some You-Tube videos, I have some idea of how to get around. I plan to hire a tour guide for at least 1 day, early in my visit. I would like to see some of the palaces and other highlights of the city/area. As a newbie, I have some questions I thought I would pose here: I see there is a metro, BTS, but what is MRT? Are they the same? Do you need to show vaccination proof still? Is the QR code on my phone ok? I read about…

From Pattaya Mail From 1 Nov 2022, Thailand’s e-Visa service will be available at 9 additional Embassies and Consulates. Apply at: www.thaievisa.go.th

From Bloomberg News Thailand will start issuing one-year visas to people seeking medical treatment, as the Southeast Asian nation positions itself as a global hub for health-care tourism in the post-pandemic era. The Cabinet on Tuesday approved a proposal to lower the fee for such visas to 5,000 baht ($140) from 6,000 baht mooted a year earlier, Tipanan Sirichana, a deputy spokeswoman for the government, said in a statement. The new permits will be issued starting Jan. 1, she said. The medical visas will allow foreign patients to fly in and out of Thailand besides allowing them a maximum stay of 90 days at a stretch, Tipanan said. Applicants will need to p…

From Thai PBS World The Thai cabinet has made November 16th, 17th and 18th special public holidays for Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan to ease the movement of government leaders and senior officials during the APEC Summit and related meetings. Anucha Burapachaisri, deputy secretary-general to the prime minister, said today (Wednesday) that the extra days off are also intended to enable security officials to perform their duties efficiently. Commercial banks and other financial institutes, however, will remain open as usual, particularly those responsible for critical functions. Other staff can work from home. State enterprises, private companies a…

I just saw another post where the poster was saying he was retiring to Pattaya in September. Now this question has been thrown around the gay forums for years and of course many of the original farang expats are no longer with us. The "latest" gay farangs of course to retire will be more wealthier however is it just me but I have noticed my last few months there is far far less gay farangs retiring to pattaya,no idea about Bangkok but far less gay resident expats in my opinion So this is my update, I just spent several months in Thailand, particularly in Pattaya to see if I still had that "urge" to settle down there forever like I used to want to when I …

As I've said before, I'm not a good trip report writer...thoughts run around in my head and I'm not as detailed as others to remember boys numbers etc.... So I'll give a rundown on what my trip was like...... I'll break it into a Pattaya - a BKK- and a Bali thread I flew from JFK-TPE-BKK on EVA Air, business class using UA miles. EVA left JFK an hour late which only resulted in a shorter connection time in TPE. Their service was flawless, as usual, one of my favorite airlines. Arrived on time Sat Oct 8th @11am ...made my way to the Fast track lane, regular immigration didn't look too bad either and was through in about 8 mins. Luggage was already coming out and…

I figure I might start a thread as we're getting closer to December. For those who aren't familiar, BKK White Party is (i think) the largest gay circuit party in Asia. It makes it's return this year from Decmber 29 - January 1. Anyone going? Anyone been to previous years, what did you think? I'm going for the NYE party with a +1, i might do the white party the next day but i'll play that by ear. https://whitepartybangkok.com/ 2020 after movie to give an idea of what to expect

This could become an interesting thread if all new arrivals would share their airport experience. The waiting time for immigration discussed in the video looks dreadful: If it is like this, I'd be happy to pay for the VIP service. https://www.klook.com/en-US/activity/11690-suvarnabhumi-airport-immigration-fast-track-service-bangkok/?spm=SearchResult.SearchResult_LIST&clickId=59dcdb7aa3 Please share your experience!

From Bangkok Post Bill Heinecke, the Thai-American chairman of Minor International Pcl that runs more than 500 hotels worldwide, wants Thailand to allow hotels to charge international tourists a surcharge of 300 baht (US$8) per room night to fund the industry’s post-Covid-19 pandemic recovery. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/2433012/hotel-tycoon-wants-to-charge-tourists-more-to-fund-recovery

In a few days a small group of us are planning a whirlwind trip coming from Bangkok to Pattaya. One of the group is his first time to Pattaya and for myself not been there since well before Covid. Will arrive early evening-we will drive along Beach Road and maybe Jontium Beach too- and mainly want to take a look a the bar scene, first in Jomtien Complex and therafter Boys Town area and anywhere else interesting, time permitting. Any late night places too? I was never really into Sunee Plaza...but is that place still alive? The idea is we spend the evening and night there, returning in the early morning. (work commitments for some later). Plus we …

from the Thaiger A major decision was made today by Thailand’s Cabinet which will allow foreigners to buy houses and land in Thailand. The foreigner will be eligible to buy houses and land if they invest at least 40 million baht in Thailand and can maintain the investment over three years, according to Bangkok Biz News. The land purchased cannot be bigger than 1 rai (1600sqm) under Section 63 of the Land Act. The new law will come into effect one month after its publication in the Royal Gazette, which will be “soon,” said the Cabinet. The initiative will be effective for five years. The proposal was put forward by the Ministry of Interior earlier this …

Construction workers doing new sidewalks on Silom Rd. made quick work of installing a new entrance/driveway for Soi 4. The new—and outrageously noisy—bar at the opposite side, BiPolar, has become a Friday-Saturday only club 🙂. A new Thai eatery, Silver Sand, occupies it otherwise. It’s worth glancing at the menu if for no other reason than to gaze at the very cute captain within. Although I can’t confirm it, it’s my hope that BiPolar will confine itself to the second floor above the restaurant, thereby hopefully reducing the blare.

From Pattaya Mail By Barry Kenyon The announcement by the head of the Royal Thai Police that some expats can now extend their stay by uploading documents online has caused substantial head scratching by the target groups. At the moment, foreigners already in Thailand who want to stay longer than their initial visa or stamp allows must queue up at immigration bureaux nationwide with their documentation and photos at the ready. The new optional scheme described by police general Damrongsak Kittipraphet is currently a pilot available only in Bangkok with a promise for national implementation later on. The software has not been devised by Thai immigration but …
