“Drove for an hour to get here with our child. What a huge waste of time and a disappointment! Very difficult to find in the first place. Then had to pay 250 thb entry and had to rent a swimmingcap. Our child could only use the slides for babies cause he is under 10, although he can swim very good. Most of the slides were closed and even the baby-slides were not all open. The slides he was allowed to use, we had to rent a tube for 80 thb as well. The slides are cracked, broken off and the walls are brown. The park is not maintained very well, the dressing rooms were also very dirty. They have a lot of staff sitting around, looking at their phone. Maybe they should let them clean a bit. Asking the full price with more than half the slides closed, doesn't feel very good. Also, there is no food or drink on the park. You have to get fully dressed again and walk through the shopping mall to get food. We got dressed and left after an hour of laying around in a babypool. NOT RECOMMENDED!”

“I went there to apply for non-immigrant visa. Appointment was 7:45am, I got there 7:30am (they said not to arrive more than 10min before the appointment), and left at 9:15am. In other words - nearly 2 hour process. Personally I didn't have any issues at the embassy, and I guess lack of complaints and a good score would tell people that I got my visa. But I noticed a lot of people ignoring instructions given on the appointment details, signages or basic social curtesy of queuing. Here are things to take note of if you're planning to apply for visa here Before the appointment: 1. If you don't carry a Thai passport, you might not be able to book the earliest available interview date. Priority is given to people with Thai passport, so even if system says "earliest available appointment is 1 October", that date MAY be limited to Thai passport holders. You won't know the available dates until you pay the visa fee, input receipt number (the next day after completing the payment), and confirm your type of passport 2. The date you got is cutting too close to your deadline? Don't give up. You can reschedule your booking 3 times, so does everyone else. Keep logging in every day and click on Reschedule to check calendar availability. I booked on 6 Oct and got 18 Oct appointment. But on 10 Oct there was vacancy for 13 Oct that I could have rescheduled to if needed 3. Double-check the security restrictions listed on the appointment confirmation and prepare accordingly. So many people came with power banks, smart watches etc. despite the information given 4. Get a clear plastic binder - that's the most efficient way to prepare your paperwork. Separate the papers based on the type into individual plastic sleves and bookmark them. 5. Double-check the specs of the physical photo vs the requirements. Saw so many people having to spend money there to re-take photos and going back and forth - they were creating more hassle for themselves and delaying the process for others around them 6. If you work in Thailand, and your letter of employment is signed by a foreigner - get a copy of that person's work permit and visa and have them sign it as well. Some embassies may require it. 7. Expect to stand in line for 1-2+ hours, so wear comfortable shoes. High heels won't improve your chances of getting the visa LOL 8. If you don't have high tolerance for cold air-conditioned room - come with a jacket or at least in a long sleeved shirt On the day of the appointment 1. At the entrance, show them booking confirmation and passport. They will stick delivery tracking on the back of your passport - take a photo of it immediately 2. Why I emphasized taking photo of the tracking number? Cause they will require you to switch off your phone before you even enter the security check area 3. Put all the documents, wallet, keys and phone into the basket they provide. Empty your pockets - imagine going through airport security. You will get a bracelet tag for your phone 4. Once you're in, follow the red/green lines. Ask the staff at the desk which appointment time is being admitted now. If it's not your time group yet, just take a seat and wait for them to call it 5. Once if your time group's turn, present passport and copy of the photo. They will ask you when photos was taken. 6. Once you go into interview area, you will have to queue 3 times - 1st is for primary document check and fingerprint scan, 2nd is for check-in (they will scan your barcode and fingerprint), and 3rd is for the actual interview. 7. You can sort of figure out which line is which if you pay a bit of attention. The 1st step is usually done at the counter manned by local staff. Once that's done, they will tell you which counter is for check-in. If unsure - just ask the person in front of you. Please don't cut in line, that's just plain rude. And don't just join the interview queue before completing first 2 steps, you'll just waste your own time Yeah, to be honest this is less of a review and more of sharing some advises and insight on the process. Hopefully someone will find them useful”

“There is a unique royal hall pretty beautiful located in front of the railway. It is a destination for tourists and bikers. Could be a stop spot for phitographer but there is not much to do here.”

20th Foor, Pacific Place One 140 Sukhumvit Rd, Bangkok 10110, Thailand

“The Swedish embassy is located next to the Landmark hotel in one pacific hotel, actually in google map it shows Two pacific hotel but it’s the same just different building adjacent to each other connected. Initially We where confused but once we entered as in below pictures we found the way. Enter the lift, 20th floor opens in Swedish Embassy. They are strictly functioning on opening hours 8-10 no even less or more which could be extended to longer in my opinion. Because we live out of city, we had to book the hotel in Bangkok over night to reach the embassy. The traffic is tremendous when you come to downtown in the morning from out of city Especially when you have to take public transport. Service is good but I rate 3 star because of super limited working hours which is not convenient for long distance travelers”
