I have an urgent request. I would like to urgently contact the tourist police in Bangkok. Does anyone have an email address for the tourist police?
We are going to Thailand for three weeks (family with teenagers in August). We want to start in Bangkok and continue to Chiang Mai (with stops in between) and then to Khao Sok. We want to rest the last 5 days on Koh Chang. Is that really impossible?
I am flying back to Bangkok at the end of January. I arrive on Sunday morning 06.45 am with China Airlines and then fly on to Koh Samui. My question is how much time should there be between arrival and departure? I saw that there is a flight at 08.00 but don't know if this is too tight because of luggage, passport, etc.

I have had a (savings) account in Thailand for six months. I mainly use this account to pay less bank costs than with ATM withdrawals. Now I have a question about the upcoming income tax return (wealth tax).

Reader question: Who knows an address for a pool cue in Pattaya?
I pool almost every day. My preferred bars for this are the Kilkellybar in LK-Metro and the Puy bar (first floor) in New Plaza. But the pool selection available appears to be of poor quality, especially in the Puy bar.
I have to buy an annuity in 2016 from a single premium policy. I can no longer find a provider for that. My question: I have been in contact with the tax authorities about the unavailability of providers of annuity policies and an employee suggested bank savings with a blocked account. I should submit that question to the relevant department and they would assess it.

I will be in Thailand from January 3 and would like to rent an apartment in Jomtien until February 14, 2016. It must be under 10.000 baht per month, will I be able to do this?
I read a lot on Thailandblog about the problems and complaints about the tax authorities in Heerlen. Which, by the way, I completely agree with. My question is, is there a role for the ambassador here? It still represents the interests of Dutch people abroad, read Thailand.
Reader question: Are Thai really that unreliable?
For a long time I have been looking for suitable car / scooter rental companies in Thailand with whom I can enter into a business relationship. Today I found a business owner who wants to rent 'not to Thai'. He gives the reason 'and I quote': “Because if I have to rent out to Thais, my business can close within 6 months, then half of my material has been stolen”.
Reader question: Good address for massage in Pattaya or Jomtien?
We regularly get a massage in Thailand. One time the experience is better than the other. Cracking the neck in particular appears to be quite dangerous, according to my physio in the Netherlands. Therefore my question: "Is a good and expert massage address in Pattaya or Jomtien?".
Reader Question: What are the prices for diabetes drugs in Thailand?
Due to a possible move to Thailand, I would like (if possible) information about prices of medicines that I use because of diabetes (diabetes) and the associated stomach complaints. Two insurance policies that I have approached immediately exclude diabetes from acceptance. Then it gets a little bit more difficult without giving up hope.
I have a problem that maybe one of you knows the answer to. My multifocal glasses are in smithereens. So to an eyewear store to have a new one fitted. The price shocked me. More expensive than at Hans Anders or a similar company in the Netherlands.
Do you have any practical advice for traveling from Bangkok to Vietnam? We want to go with two people. In the month of February of 2016.
