There was a road block on the darkside at the crossroads about 5 k up from Suk. at about 10pm tonight. (Near to where you live Raro) I had only had a couple of soda's, and was waved though. I went straight  home after stoping at 711 for further refreshment

Most of the motorbike taxis I had taken over the first 2 years were more drunk than me, which is why I have driven after 2 or 3 beers for the last 8 years. If I have had more than about 4 or more beers I normally stay in a hotel over night, although not always if I felt unafected.

I think my trips to Pattaya town in the future will be very limited , unless I can get a lift into town. As Raro stated earlier, no taxis or baht busses available a few miles up SC Club. (Maybe you can open a Music bar at your house Raro.)

I am not one to get drunk every night, but looking at the tables, it seems that more that 2 beers a night over a couple of hours can get you locked up in what compares to a WW2 japanese prison camp, ... and then maybe later deported losing everything you own in Thailand.

I really hope the OP had a a sucsessful day and didn't geet his visa revoked.

I checked in at Suvarnabhumi on the 20th March 3 hours before my flight at about 10am.
The check in lady told me to go straight to Immigration as they were very busy.
Thought it a bit odd as I was one of the first 10 or so peason to check in and wondered about the couple of hundred people or so behind me on my flight, but went as fast as I could to security.

Need not have rushed as I was through into the departure loung in about 15 mins.

At about 2pm, Traffic from Sukhumvit being blocked from Turning right into Pattaya. Very heavy traffic with drivers and wondering what to do next. Only in Thailand    
I gave up and drove back home to the darkside.

Soi Country Club, Soi 13. Been here over 8 years and this was the worst I have seen.

Three medium sized trees and a large fan Palm in my garden down, and opposite on free land two very large trees flattened and broken up.

LOL, within 3 hours the trunks on the land opposite were chain sawed and taken away by two trucks leaving the branches and foliage half blocking the Soi.

Have had many problems with my 3BB Premier service over the last few months.
I even replaced my 2 year old computer for the latest spec. a couple of months ago, but the repeated problems have not changed.

1530 never admit to anything wrong in my area,(Pattaya,) and tell me it must be my wiring into the house or a router problem.
Had new cables fitted to house from their new direct box at a cost of 2,500 baht a few  months ago,and have taken the router to their office for checking three times now, to be told it is working OK.

Then after about 12 to 24 hours after the problem the service is back. This Friday evening lost the signal until Saturday night. Five calls to 1530, again to be told the problem must be mine and an engineer will phone me. This never happens, although as said, the service normally returns a few hours later.

Told them yesterday that I wanted a discount on my next bill, but they said no can do as it the problem must be my fault.

I just wish the call center would be honest and say there is a local problem and it will be fixed over the next day or two, but TIT.
