Once again:
Free WiFi on Pattaya Beach
Pol Maj Gen Pinit Maneerat, the Military Junta's spokesman for Pattaya, announced that the city has invested 24 million Baht* to install a free WiFi system along Pattaya Beach for the general public and tourists.
It's the third time City Hall announces a Free WiFi service during the last 10 years or so.
The last two times TOT Public Company Limited, a Thai state-owned telecommunications company, was responsible for the (failed) service.
This time City Hall claims that they made a 1-year contract with state enterprise CAT Telecom Plc.
According to Pol Maj Gen Pinit Maneerat CAT installed 24 hotspots along Pattaya Beach, from Dusit Thani to the Bali Hai pier area.
To use the Free WiFi users have to register with their personal details. In return they will get two hours of free access per day.
For its Thai citizens Pattaya City Hall published an instruction to register (automatically?) - but not for the City's real breadwinner - the tourists.
*On November 26th, a spokesman from City Hall corrected the press release and said that the City has to pay 14 million Baht/year for the 24 hotspots.
Unusable!
Our Testrun on November 25th shows that - at least for tourists - the announced service is not usable.
Using a smartphone communicating in another language as Thai it is impossible to do the required registration.
When connecting to @Pattaya City Free WiFi the display immediately asks for the passwort.
Moreover, the signal strength is satisfying only in front of a hotspot, in between it's mediocre and the signal is characterised by strong fluctuations with a maximum throughput of 1 Mbps.
The whole announcement of @Pattaya Free Wifi doesn't make sense.
It's nothing else than a bad joke!
Obviously the Government tries everything that Thailand remains a laughing stock
The Spook is over, the Coconut Gosts are back in Town!
Since November 9th the lovely men from Pattaya Police Station expeled the so called Coconut Ghosts from Pattaya Beach to improve the 'bad image' of this City during the 'International Fleet Review'.
Nevertheless, the critics of the action had the full support of the Weather God. He bothered whole the event with mist, thunderstorms and floodings.
It seems the Weather God is a staunch Pacifist.
 Amazing Military Junta
During the last few months Thailand's customer saw skyrocketing prices on many products due to new taxes introduced by the ruling Military Junta.
To boost the sluggish economy Thailand's Internal Trading Department now invites representative of manufacturers, retailers, department stores and super stores and try to persuade them to cut some of their prices by up to 80 per cent.
 A Gift for Good Earners
Thailand's Military Junta announced a four-day break for revellers to celebrate the upcoming new year, but because the New Year holidays from December 30th, 2017 to January 2nd, 2018, fall on a weekend additional holidays will be added.
Moreover, the Junta approved a personal income tax break for spending between November 11th and December 3rd to stimulate the economy.
Shoppers can deduct expenses on goods and services from taxable incomes - but not more than 15'000 Baht, but alcoholic beverages, wine, tobacco, automobiles, motorcycles, boats, fuels and gas for vehicles are not deductible, as are tourist guide fees and hotel room fees. The later might come under another tax break campaign to promote tourism, but visiting massage parlours and karaoke bars qualifies for the tax break.
TiT (This is Thailand).
Taxpayers who benefit from the campaign are those earning 150'001 Baht or more a year.
 Thailand's Big Brothers start watching you
Thailand's Telecom Regulator is introducing biometric checks nationwide for mobile telephone users who register their SIM cards from December 15th, 2017.
Biometric registration is not aimed at tracking users, but enhancing security, especially in case of mobile payments, the Secretary-General Takorn Tantasith from Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) told the press.
Starting from December 15th, people will be required to register new SIM cards, both pre-paid and post-paid, at service centres and retailers across the country, which will be equipped with biometric tools.
To register a new SIM card, users' fingerprints will be matched against the data stored on their national identification cards. The verification process might alternatively involve facial scans, depending on the equipment available.
Foreigners can buy SIM cards in Thailand only at locations where facial scanner are installed, because their scanned faces have to be matched against their passport photographs.
People already using SIM cards will be able to register with the new system for their own safety, NBTC claims.
 Not Seaworthy?
Ferry services between Hua Hin and Pattaya had to be suspended on November 5th and 6th for safety reasons due to strong waves in the Gulf of Thailand.
Our man in China already told us many months ago that this type of Katamaran is used on large rivers in China and not on sea.

 Arresting Pattaya's Coconut Ghosts
Between November 13th and 21st Pattaya hosts the International Fleet Show.
In order to leave a good impression on the visitors, the Police patrol and arrest all coconut ghosts they can get hold of on our lovely Beach Promenade.
According to some ladies, the Police extorts 1'000 Baht of every arrested person. If they can't pay they have to spend some days in a crowded jailhouse. Arrests are actually made by undercover investigators.
The visitors will be disappointed: They read all the bad stuff about Pattaya and find nothing but an absolutely puritanical and boring fishing village.
They never will come back.
But the best
is yet to come: We update NightWalker's News Page as soon as we get new information.
  Important Notice
Since General Prayuth Chan-ocha and his Military Junta launched their Coup d'état on May 22nd, 2014, Thailand's Visa ground rules are constantly changing. More over, not every consulate can issue all the different Visas. Some smaller consulates even display notices to the effect that non-immigrant visas are unavailable.
Our advice: Before booking your holidays please contact the Embassy in your country to obtain information about Thailand's latest regulation(s) and check the Chonburi Immigration Website or the website of Thailand's Immigration Police.
Update (March 2016):
New Overstay Regulations
Thailand's new immigration policy will take effect on March 20th of this year.
Please click for details!
Busy Immigration
Pol Lt Gen Nathathorn Prousoontorn, chief of the Immigration Bureau, informed the media that between October 2015 and March 2016 Thailand's Immigration deported a total of 486'947 foreigners who overstayed their visas. Another 323'575 foreigners overstaying their visas still remain at large.
If the numbers mentioned above are correct, the Immigration Bureau deported about 2'700 people a day...
Congratulation!
Never trust a statistic that you have not manipulated yourself!
New 10-year Visa
Thailand's interim Government announced on November 22nd, 2016, that foreign residents over 50 will be able to apply for 10-year visas.
The new Visa would replace one-year renewable visas and come in two installments of five years each.
Applicants must either earn a monthly salary of at least 100'000 Baht or have more than 3 million Baht in their bank account, which cannot be withdrawn within the first year after receiving the visa.
Applicants also must also have a health insurance that covers hospital stays and provides at least US$10'000 in annual coverage.
Visa holders will still have to check in every 90 days with the Bureau of Immigration.
Up & Down
Thailand's Military Junta cuts the visa-on-arrival fee for tourists from Andorra, Bulgaria, Bhutan, China, Cyprus, Ethiopia, India, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, the Maldives, Malta, Mauritius, Romania, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan from today 2'000 Baht to 1'000 Baht.
The 1'000-Baht fee for visas sought at Thai embassies and consulates would be lifted.
The reduction is applicable from December 1st, 2016, to February 28th, 2017, only.
The change was announced less than two months after the visa fee was increased to 2'000 Baht on September 27th, 2016...
New Rules
Foreigners who enter Thailand without a visa via a land border crossing can now do so only twice per calendar year.
Those who seek to enter Thailand without a visa via a land border checkpoint for a third time in a calendar year may be denied entry and asked to apply for a regular visa first.
Entries through international airports are not affected by this new regulation.
While eligible foreigners who enter Thailand under the "visa exemption" scheme would previously get 30 days exclusively at international airports but only 15 days at border crossings, this rule has now been relaxed and all foreigners will receive 30-day entry stamps also at land border checkpoints.
The new rules went into effect on December 31st, 2016.
Free visas extended
Bangkok Post reports that Thailand's Government extended by six months to August free visas at Thai consulates and embassies and discounts on visas on arrival for visitors from 21 countries.
 Chonburi Immigration Office got new Chief
Pattaya Mail reports on July 8th, 2017, that the Chonburi Immigration Office got a new Chief.
Pol. Maj. Satawat Srirattanapong, the new Chief, announced that people who are requesting a long-stay permit will be thoroughly investigated for the safety of the community and the nation.

 Just as the International Fleet Review was about to start, the weather god opened his water gates, flooded Pattaya Beach Road and ended the Thai Military Show before it even started.
 The Weather God has to be a Pacifist
 Obviously, these uniforms are not suitable for Pattaya's lousy weather
 The Military re-started the show after 16:00, when the rain stopped and many spectators already left Beach Road. The troops as well as the 'volunteers' from City Hall had to walk through centimeter deep waters.

Without registration you could face serious punishment
 Last month we reported that on October 11th Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) issued an order to regulate the uses of drones in this country.
The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has announced that all drones in Thailand need to be registered. If not done, a drone’s owner could face a five-year jail term or a fine of up to 100'000 Baht.
Tourists are allowed to bring their drones into Thailand.
However, they are not allowed to fly their drones here until they have registered their devices with the NBTC or the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT).
If a drone is being brought into Thailand for commercial use, then an addiotional permission must be requested from CAAT.
The registration process requires a signed copy of the applicant’s passport, a photo and the serial number of the drone, and two copies of the completed registration form.
An official Registration Form in English can be downloaded from CAAT.
Tourists also have to familiarise themselves with the rules for flying drones in Thailand:
  Our highly educated Generals from the ruling Military Junta announced to go against people in cars parking illegally and causing traffic flow to grind to a halt.
  On Beach Road Tourist Busses still exercise double row parking and are blocking traffic and correctly parked vehicles
 The pictures show that Officials' words obviously are nothing else than hot air.
Our Officials destroy the 'Good Image' of Pattaya - nobody else
 According to Thailand's Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Surasak Kanjanarat, waste has become one of the biggest problems in Thailand. Therefore reducing the number of cigarette butts along the coast is a pilot zero waste project on the beaches. Cigarette filters contain various toxins, nicotine and other dangerous substances, which are harmful to marine life, people and the environment, the Minister claims and adds that smoking is not totally banned on beaches, tourists must now only smoke in designated areas.
Update (November 2nd):
Despite the postponement, Thailand's Authorities began enforcing the smoking ban on 24 beaches in 15 provinces, Bangkok Post reports today.
As usual in this country:
The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing
Update (November 5th):
On November 1st Thailand's Authorities launched a 90-day trial of the cigarette ban, prohibiting smoking on 24 beaches.
During this three-month period, authorities will kick off a campaign to inform beachgoers of the law but won’t punish violators until the amnesty period ends.
Starting February 1st, 2018, smoking will be strictly banned on all Thai beaches, which means everyone could land in a Thai prison for a year or fined up to 100'000 Baht - or both...
Update (November 13th):
Pattaya Mail reports that the government has delayed enforcement of its smoking ban on Pattaya and other popular beaches to better educate the public about the cost of lighting up on the sand.

 New deckchairs to beautify Pattaya Beach
Somebody at Pattaya City Hall decided to replace all that old fashioned deck chairs on the beach by attractive looking new ones.
 The new deckchair
Obviously nobody asked the users if they like them.
Tourists claim the new desk chairs are not comfortable. The beach vendors claim the new deck chairs are a security risk - they are unsuitable for the sand and like to fall over. Last but not least an expert in plastics from Europe told us that the plastic used in the chairs won't survive the ultraviolet irradiation of the next two years.
Nevertheless, the beach vendors told us that with the new desk chairs they have to double the price of the rent of a place in the sun. Instead of 40 Baht, beach lovers have to pay now up to 100 Baht!
We just learned that the chairs and the umbrellas were donated by Chang, the drinking water supplier. Obviously the beach vendors got them free of any charges.

Autonomous vehicles already running on Thailand's Roads
 Autonomous driving is an issue everyone is talking about and all the big companies including Google, Teslar, Baidu, Ford, Fiat Chrysler, Apple, BMW and Mobileye (owned by Intel) are in the forefront of the developement of driverless cars, vehicles that run on our streets without the help of your feet, your arms and your brain.
If you live in Thailand, you already know that all this research isn't a necessity. Almost all vehicles navigating through Thailand's streets are already autonomous vehicles.
Or how you like to explain the fact that every report of an accident starts with the sentence the car missed the turn of the road, the motorcycle run with excessive speed, the van hit the truck.
The news here in Thailand never tell you that the driver did something wrong - it always was his vehicle.
All the hipe about autonomous driving is an old hat, at least in this country where almost all the cars and motorcycles are driven by brainless people.
