Thailands new airport is called Suvarnabhumi and should be the Pride of Thailand. It is replacing Don Mueang, Thailand's former Airport, which is owned by the Thai military.
The new airport is plagued by corruption and Thailand's notorious airport gangs. The Mafia like organisations are controlling underground foreign exchange services, ticketing, illegal taxi and tour guide services within the airport.

Foreigners entering Thailand need a valid visa.
Visas can be obtained either at the entry (most likely at the airport) or at any Thai consulate.

Pattaya Policestation (Beachroad/Soi 9): 038 420 802 - 5

Pattaya has 2 Post Offices.

This cause some confusion about the correct Post Code for Pattaya.

Please read the clarification we got from the Communications Authority of Thailand.

Pattaya's Immigration Office is not in Pattaya itself, but in Jomtien.

Pattaya has an amazing Beach and we have its pictures.

Jomtien is separated from Pattaya City by a Hill called Khao Phra Yai (or Big Buddha Hill).

Its Skyline shows a lot of high rise Condominiums owned by Farangs as well as people from Thailand and China.

Jomtien has a large Beach Road with cosy Restaurants and a beautiful Beach Promenade.

Some internet cafés are using key-logging software!

Key-logging software are 'recorders' that stores all key-strokes made on any given machine. The administrators can then look over their records for 'user names', 'passwords' and 'bank account/credit card details'.

Do not store personal data on a memory stick or any memory card you are using at an internet café. A soon as you plug in the storage device, a program reads out all the information on it.

Before entering critical data call the 'Task Manager' (press 'Ctrl' + 'Alt' + 'Delete'). The 'Task Manager' lists the machine's inventory. If the 'Task Manager' is blocked or lists software that you don't know, do not enter any personal data on that computer.

For an even more accurate test, we recommend to install a 'Process Explorer' on your memory stick. You can get them as 'Freeware' in the internet. They list all the programs running in the background.
