At 34.5 baht to the USA This lad is worried about $5.80. Perhaps the Bell Bus is more his style. The one-way fare from BKK to Pattaya is 300.

As others have noted, it's rare for Thai Customs officers at BKK to search the luggage of incoming passengers. Moreover, anecdotal evidence suggests they are even less inclined to search when the...

Thanks to Mr. Sunlover for his helpful analysis. I had not considered the checked baggage issue he spotted, and I agree with him that letting your bags go unchecked for several hours is asking for...

Another way to think of it is that the day you land counts as day ONE, not day ZERO. Even if you don't get through immigration until 11:45 pm, that still counts as day ONE.

This caught me out once...

Every gent is full of questions before his first trip to Thailand. No shame in that.

But it's poor form to ask basic questions here that have been asked and answered in this forum dozens, if not...

That surprises me. After reading dozens of your poorly written posts I had assumed you grew up outside the United States and English was not your mother tongue.

I realize that many gentlemen who...

Probably very few. But that's not how health insurance works. Usually the coverage extends to all professional medical treatment that's "reasonably necessary" or some similar definition. There are an...

The Royal Thai Embassy in Washington, D.C. advises those wishing to apply for a O-A retirement visa: "You may use your existing insurance coverage if it meets this requirement." Elsewhere on the same...

This is a good strategy if you arrive in Thailand after sundown. But I prefer a shorter layover (no more than 3 hours) and an arrival just after sunrise. Landing at that hour always gives me a boost,...

Yes, experts are looking at this new virus variant. But overly simplistic statements are not helpful. There is a good article on this variant up on Medium.com, which is a website that collects...

I like the breakfast buffet at Casa Pascal, which is on the east side of Second Road, a few meters south of Soi 13/2. There are numerous breakfast buffets in Pattaya, but the one at Casa Pascal is a...

Pantip Plaza is good for electronics.

So is the MBK Center. While you are there, check out the hawker stalls. The food is terrific and the dining room is very comfortable.

I don't do Google voice, so I can't comment on it.

As others have noted, you can use an American cell phone in Thailand, but the roaming charges will be outrageous. I recommend getting on the Bay...

My take on this is slightly more nuanced than Mr. Phan's.

As noted elsewhere in this discussion, tourism is generally a high margin business. What I'd like to emphasize is that the subset of the...

Stay in Bangkok.

Even if you hire a car and driver you're going to burn up two hours each way back and forth from Pattya. That's 17 percent of your time on the ground. I realize you are...

Mr. Phordphan cogently notes the attraction of a "well-shaped" Latina with "proper curves." Sadly, many of the girls I see in Tijuana's Zona Norte are packing extra pounds these days. I realize lots...

I've spent quite a bit of time in Tijuana's Zona Norte, dating back to the early 90's, so I thought I'd weigh in here.

Not in the way that some Cialis users do. But when I'm on holiday the "as needed" dose sometimes works out to be a daily dose. (At least during the first week. After that I find time for other...

Just my opinion:

It's one thing to pay for a single drink at the time it's served, especially if you are served by a bartender and then wander off. But if you sit at a table and buy more than one...

I recommend starting in Pattaya and ending in Bangkok. That way, you'll be closer to the airport when it's time to leave Thailand. If you go straight from Pattaya to BKK that adds at least a couple...
