Vietnam Overtakes Thailand in Chinese Tourist Numbers for First
More than welcome to them in my mind!

Highway Police Halt Illegal Transport of Chinese Nationals
As I commented before, they increase numbers by appealing to the less discerning!

Backlash as Danish-Arab Influencer Insults Locals in Pattaya
I have been alive during those times and can't for the life of me think where western countries murdered millions of Muslims in the last 20-30 years. Could you enlighten me. Nearly 3000 died on 9-11.

Pattaya Women Demand Action After Assault by Motorcyclist
Although I might add that it may not always be a woman, and it was all a distraction to lift your wallet or phone!

Who's the oldest falang with a Thai drivers licence?
Use an agent and no need to go near a doctor nor a sphygmomanometer!

Did She Jump?
No, they talked her down. There is a thread about it. She has a broken heart.

Yes, very important reqquirement!

Pattaya Woman Rescued From Fourth-Floor Suicide Attempt
The Thais must have been debt collectors..... The locals hardly shine when it comes to wearing helmets. These days it is getting rare to see any of the 3+ riders on a motorcycle wearing a helmet!

Pattaya Resident Films Naked Foreigner Ignoring Her Warning
Is it likely to be? I recall only a few such incidents where Thais were involved, a nutty woman on Suk causing traffic collisions some years back!

Pattaya Women Demand Action After Assault by Motorcyclist
How do you feel about women who frequently grope men as they innocently take a stroll up soi 6?

Police Raid Pattaya Scam Setup, Arrest Two Chinese Men
China has recently announced Visa free entry to UK passport holders, thanks to Mr Starmer. What has not been mentioned is whether the UK will reciprocate or not. I fear that based on what I see of Thailand's experiences.

Backlash as Danish-Arab Influencer Insults Locals in Pattaya
Yes, seems to have it's limits. Saw an agency advertising help with obtaining DTVs, seemed to be very specific for Russians despite the sign being written in English. I wonder which demographic is making the most use of it.

Highway Police Halt Illegal Transport of Chinese Nationals
Very much so. I have often wondered if there is some very lucrative bonus scheme for the TAT guys. They seem to be missing the fact that too many from specific demographics causes others to look elsewhere..... the 'high value tourist' they speak of so much is being deterred.

Foreign Biker Killed in Head-On Crash With Car in Pattaya
I don't really see what the point is unless you are going touring. A 160-cc step through has all the speed and more of the maneuverability you need around town and near to it. Farangs deride Thais for their noisy exhausts and tricks, but many farangs seem to require just as much 'look at me' between their legs!

Good chance it will come up dry before you get a few Km down the road.

Anyone bought a "bonded leather" office chair?
I do, especially with a Porsche or Bentley wrapped around it!

Mop refills from Down Under
For heavens sake just get a new mop from Lazada or Home Pro.

American Tourist Knocked Unconscious in Pattaya Street Fight
That is very likely since it is being severely contaminated with conflicting other cultures. As one who came from the Baby Boomer generation what we now deliver to these shores is alien to me.

Belgian Tourist Injured After Power Bank Explodes in Pattaya Bar
Thankfully the battery packs in phones themselves don't seem to blow up with such regularity. One can understand why airlines are getting leery about power banks in luggage. I bet the guy now holds the record for getting his pants off in that bar!

Bad area to go for a ride however tempting. Street lights that are on one night, off another. Ambulances heading that way down Hwy 36 are frequently heard.

Chinese Man Run Over & Killed Outside Pattaya Hotel
Modern day vehicles with cameras and warning devices make it safer, although we may tend to depend on them.

Yeah, it would be 20 ft up in the air!

'Influencer', what a stupid word to use to refer to a dick head without a real job!

Dispute Erupts Involving Russian Tourists Over Unpaid Fare
Never have issue with the WIN drivers, taxi drivers are often dodgy. Generally one needs to set the price before the journey starts, and pay agreed at the end of it. Works both ways though.. drivers sometimes try and bump the fare too. It often appears to be an argument over coppers and in the case of the motorcycles, a bit hard on a relatively poor guy.
