    As a young Saudi guy told me once, 'Us Arabs do not do self control'....

    The guy surely has challenges. Criminals seem capable of stooping very low here, perhaps some dependency involved.

    And they don't necessarily get their quoted salaries, unless quite high targets are met.

    They all meet in the morning and someone pulls a topic out of a hat! 'Today's target is' and that is what they go for, all other infringements are ignored that day.

    Well some likely turn up with no local money! Damned if I am paying the silly rates at Thomas Cook in a UK airport.

    Oh you sound like a bundle of fun!
  7. jacko45k
    Well I hope that arrangement is still working for you. Some people are having issues wrt not having the 800k on deposit in Thailand.

    I struggle to keep up with which is rising faster, rents or condo prices.
  9. jacko45k
    Isn't there a requirement of this already, used to be 20,000 baht, but that was for a 30 day exempt!
  10. jacko45k
    For heavens sake stop talking about the problems they cause and do something major to address them! Place is all talk and no action!
  11. jacko45k
    I don't think I would at 0500 either.

    Where is sewage supposed to go in that area, or is it serviced by septic tanks?

    How pleasing is that....! Did they not consider giving him a broken bone or two, to go with the abrasions?
  14. jacko45k
    What, does this mean Chinese are not free to come here and do whatever they please? I surely thought they could!
  15. jacko45k
    What an incredibly stupid thing to do!
  16. jacko45k
    What, with the low interest paid on deposits (even FDs) here in Thailand and the deduction of Withholding tax? I struggle to believe that.... I am more inclined to say an older guy need not buy his condo but rent as he can't take a condo with him. Five million baht will pay a rent of 10,000 for 40 years.

    Pattaya, that is the forum we are in. What is 'unreal' homelessness? Do the temples chuck people out during daytime to wander and lay in the streets, like the Salvation army hostels did?

    Is there some obligation for City Hall to provide places to smoke? They struggle to supply parking spaces and keep the roads and pavements in order. Perhaps these now defunct weed shops can become smoking houses?

    Naturally has the distinct odour.....

    I often wondered if i need some booster as I do not have vaccinations. Mrs got tetanus along with rabies shots after an animal bite.

    Well it isn't like we don't also have many locals homeless in town, some of whom do a bit of begging too. Pushing a shopping cart along the beach sounds like hard work, is he perhaps a fitness fanatic?

    He wants to borrow a few shirts off him!
  23. jacko45k
    Yes, signs including some large fine, parking in front of someone's building was always a good one. I always pondered the idea of whether a little Mall security guy could get a 5000 fine off a shirtless 6 ft 6 Russian!
  24. jacko45k
    If you are looking around Big-CX, because of remodeling it isn't possible to find anything except rice and coca cola! Prior to that they had plenty Yorkshire Tea, and the one the monkeys like, PG Tips, plus some of the local stuff. I stick to Yorkshire myself.

    There was an incident of an explosion and leak at an ice plant, April 2024, also Banglamung. https://www.hazardexonthenet.net/article/205081/Explosion-and-ammonia-leak-injures-160-people-in-Thailand.aspx
