Does this skip the visits to the Soi 5 immigration office in the "nice attire"?
Pretty much so unless you do the report in person. As for the initial photo it's probably best not to arrive looking like Steptoe's dad!

Just a quick heads up on this for those that are interested. I went into a well known agent on soi post office (should I mention them?) and was quoted B25k plus another B1k for a single re-entry if I wanted it. This will actually give you 15 months as it includes I believe the 3 months Non-O which is initially required. Annual renewals come in at B12.5k, or B8k if you supply your own funds, shall we say. To do all this however, you will need a bank account which is opened for B3,700, which includes the B500 for admin + card and some sort of accident insurance which might even come in handy one day (though hopefully not). Also you will need 4 passport sized photos (shop across the street at B120) and a rental 'contract' which can just be a hotel or guesthouse booking receipt for the duration. Another B200 is needed for the taxi guy who will whisk you off to soi 5 for your official photo and queue jumping exercise. 90 day reporting is free, but they most likely will do it online anyway if you don't fancy doing it yourself. Then that's it - job done!
I initially came in on a 30 day exempt, but they will require 20 days to sort all this out for you, so speed is of the essence. There are many agents in town these days, but I'm pretty certain that they all have the same contact(s) at soi 5 so it's up to you how much you want to pay.
Have fun!

Ok, forget this one - I was sadly mistaken having now gone there in person and seen for myself.

OK, I am shit at this! FYI the bar opposite is called "Old 007".

I'll see what I can do later. I strongly suspect though, they are most likely all the usual suspects.

Spotted last night - small bar with about 5 or 6 LBs in attendance. Directly opposite another small LB bar for which the name escapes me, just before TreeTown complex though.
Sorry, I'm a bit hung over this morning!

I’m still having nightmares of BSoD from before I switched to mac 11 years ago.
Seems to be OK with Win11, but I remember Win98 being a real shocker! Of course, if it hadn't been for that I'd probably know very little about computers as I would never had to learn about re-formats and the like.

I'd like to discuss blue screens with him.

Jamie Clayton. But she is a bit out of your league (as well as my league).
I've just seen the series Sense8, so was kind of wondering who that was!

Spotted recently on YT. Could be a new LB venue if it takes off though hard to say at present.

Well apparently, you no longer need a pre-departure pcr test or a further test on arrival. The e type visa on arrival has also been re-instated so I guess it's all just about back to normal?

Is there really any point in doing these type of videos right now though? The prices are all clearly covid related, and anybody contemplating moving here on a tight budget is going to get a nasty shock when they start picking up again. Personally, I'm going through all the pre-covid clips trying to find out the sort of prices which are typical - even the stronger baht needs to be viewed with some suspicion.

Thaiflirting.com also has a reasonable selection of mature LBs. Free to join so worth a look.

I do believe he's no stranger to the occasional LimaBravo himself.

I've had this link since time immemorial featuring the dynamic duo; bit slow to load but I figured it's something to look at!

I can see it's been a slow day on the forum! I decided on a name change back to an older handle which I used in the Noughties - you remember those days! I was quite prolific on both Secrets and Addicts and to a lesser extent on Freelancerbar which then became PattayaTalk. TLF was OK, but does anyone remember the Yellow board before that? I'm pretty sure that a few members have 'crossed over' to the Lima Bravo way on route and are now posting on here, but it's always interesting (and a little nosey) to see who was what back in the day.

Hi Ring, Please try again now. Think I fixed the problem.
OK, that did the trick!

If you are using a laptop/desktop to view, go to your log in name at the top right hand of the page. Click on the downwards triangle, select "Account Settings", you will find the place where you can change your forum user name in the "display name" setting.
Tried that, but it won't have it. Only email and password by the looks of it.

How...............does............one.............go about changing their forum name? Had a quick shufti through the settings but came up with nowt.
Ta very much in advance.

Well, the area has changed - especially the prices if the narrative is to be believed! B3500 - 4000 for slow learners.......... I mean, really........

There used to be an area behind a petrol station called 'The Swamp' - it was basically a U-shaped road full of Thai short time bars. Went there once back in '95 but have no idea if it's still there; few farangs ventured that far!

For me, the B800k is the biggest issue so I'd prefer to leave that invested. It's also quite legal to do the B65k per month 'recycling' method where you simply send the excess back home periodically to be returned at a later date. Some even do a mix of both, e.g. B400k + B32.5k monthly which does make more sense if you're bringing it over on a regular basis.
