You keep babbling on about his wealth when you have been told time and time again he and his family have personal wealth , stop posting rubbish if you’re unable to read printed facts. Boring.

I’d never drink it. The big bottles delivered I use only for cooking ( boiled) . I prefer the 1.5 litre ones unfortunately as it doesn’t help the trash problem.

Shame there aren’t many men of Sean Connerys caliber in Thailand. He’s definitely a « Hansum Man « !

He’s probably not wanted there either, but he has a French passport unfortunately . We have inherited « The Serpent « as if that wasn’t bad enough. Giving interviews, making money, writing a book, gives me the shivers.

Never knew this existed in the first place !! Surely it had to be plastered all over the news ??? Anyone know if Asean Now published it ?

If you have time I’d say 3 weeks. Ordinarily, tourists spend 2 weeks. When my niece came, met her in Bangkok and took her around the usual, Grand Palace, wat Arun, wat Pho. River trip to Ayuthaya for a day. Then flew to Chiang Mai, more temples , the White temple and Doi Inthanon. 2 days in Sukhothai which was the most appreciated. Flew to Phuket . Then went to Krabi and Railay beach. Then to Koh Chang for the best swimming, islands snorkeling , great seafood on the beach, lots of long nature walks.and National park. She loved it there. I’ve spent a lot of time there, love it. And no crowds no big hotels and chill. We went direct from there to the airport by local taxi. Great service.

You can see from the road at night. No light s on.

Where has this worked out so well ? Also , there are hundreds of thousands ( numbers ?) of empty condos . How will raising the law of 49% limit to 75% attract more buyers ? i have rented two new build condos in the last 10 years , ans stayed in another just after Covid in Phuket for a few months . The three of them were badly built, flimsy walls and locked front doors you could open with a push. The one in Jomtien had all the shelves and cupboards collapse when I was watching tv giving me nearly a heart attack. Windows couldn’t close or couldn’t open. Drains were unbearable smelly, the kitchen sink and elements were built for a dwarf . In the 80s I rented a small Thai row house which was at least solid and cheap, and then I found a wonderful apartment owned by a Thai American journalist, it was the only one of my 40 years of Thailand that was well built. Unfortunately after a few years they built a little soi with bars and restaurants right under my living room view, on what was once rice fields and wandering buffaloes. So I moved . I could easily have bought something over the years but my experiences put me off . Too much trouble. I’m happy renting less than six months of the year in the dry season in a very small family run condo .

Really ??Do you go out at night, do you read statistics . And yes, there are more single Thai ladies than bargirls, but they’re not looking for a foreign man. “ very few bar girls in most cities “ you are joking ?

The silly lady who left 15 000 B in a bag on the bar and went outside should try and count the number of tourists that are scammed, robbed, attacked, physically hurt, run over, murdered and raped by Thais . I’m not excusing and tourist that commits any crime , but I’m quite sure her 15 000B is a drop in the ocean in comparison. Like many Thais , mostly the dimmer ones, they want the tourists money but not the tourists. For sure, Thailand was a better place before mass tourism arrived , now the damage is done, deal with it.

Strange reason to post . So your problem was deciding for or against having a relationship with a transvestite, or a Thai lady ? There are many more bargirls and hookers than Thai ladies looking for a relationship. If you can’t find one go back to the trans option, they take anyone.

Unbelievable! I remember this sad story well. The German guy was well known. For being a trouble maker and a bit crazy. why on earth wasn’t he stopped , arrested and jailed straight away ? Someone should pose the question to Hua Hin authorities and newspapers. This is the way they treat tourists, shame on them, what is Thailand coming to ?

Normal procedure in certain cases.

Yes Bob, you book it from wherever you live, ( club med is very popular in France / Switzerland etc. It’s an all inclusive holiday, flight and the club. You get everything on site. There’s even a sort of exchange buro, instead of Baht they give you pearls, each pearl has a value. For example a Club Med T shirt would cost you 4 pearls ( plastic pearls of course), they’re on a bracelet which you wear so you need no cash at all. Crazy but true. What money goes to locals , practically zero. I knew the butcher there very well, he was a friend , and French. All legal of course. It’s a huge company. They have clubs all over the world. I’d say a bit like a luxury Butlins. I lived across the rd, Kata Beach.

Sorry, forgot to say the wrong interpretation was in Bali, the good neurologist in France.
