@ausmagoo for some reason is working again. Thanks for your prompt help, for other people that have problem with accessing this and the sister site , then u need the tor browser , and use their  union protocol which add layers into your packet so they dont know where u come from and they cannot block u. In short work like a vpn, is free but u must turn on everytime . See pic   

What is your board name on the Pattaya Forum ??  

i am now travelling in malaysia. I am trying to access both site from a Malaysia esim . I believe both sites are restricted locally, it will load forever . 
I then downloaded the TOR  browser which has a union protocol to hide my packet then i was able to access both sites for a few days. But today the pattaya site now banned my account but bangkok site is still good. anyone have that experience? 
   

Thanks to everyone who's responded and the good advice. On this occasion I've decided that what will make me feel most comfortable is to book the refundable fully flexible Emirates ticket. I'll choose a date somewhere near the end of the 60 days tourist visa which will mean I've actually got a ticket out of dodge should I need it at short notice, although the plan is still to refund it and purchase a cheaper one at some point.

The TDAC, Thailand Digital Arrival Card does asks you.  I had a friend come in December he left it blank he said they asked him about the out bound flight for the first time in over a decade of coming here. He got in without much trouble saying he was going to travel around and wasn’t sure of the exact dates but they told him in future he should book one.
