Not really way over...I see 500 charged, 400 would be a good price.

Nonsense......I was walking around Pattaya today. Loads of attractive women to be seen, quite pleasant if not a bit hot. Who the heck mentioned temples bar you, I certainly did not. You have no idea why I chose Pattaya, and as usual you are just trying to bait posters, trolling.

Since when? Anyhow nothing to do with the topic....which is about the banks requiring facial recognition for transfers.

Thai Post got mine there for a reasonable cost and convenient, as the Mailbox place is in the Mall....the couriers are maybe more reliable and probably faster and probably 10x the price.

I don't live central, and the places I use are not like the Pattaya bars at all.

Neighbours, what you going to do? Mine torment me with their barking dogs... not a day goes by.......... Have you got your balcony door open that the smell comes in? Buy a small metal kettle, and see if you can pour water onto a smoldering spiv that is close to the railings below... but first buy a Rambo outfit for when they come calling, big blades and bandoleer of bullets etc...... get ready for war.

Compare it perhaps to what retirement would entail in say a UK northern town. It's cheaper, for housing transport, food, entertainment...taxes. Despite what you say, a bit of female company, (with no strings if that is what you want) is a cheap option, and pleasurable. It's safer crime wise. There is large number of like minded people who usually speak your language. You are invisible in the UK....(handsome man here) One can venture away from the bars......I have not been in one for some months. Do you believe I could live in a pool villa in the UK for anything but many multiples of the cost? Oh, and the weather is better... who the hell ever wants to see snow again? And often, the women back there are borderline repugnant, fat, attitude and take no pride in their appearance. Pattaya has beaches, lakes, entertainment, western shops and supplies, and a couple of highways to come and go.

And doing so can cost them dearly as they are declared sanction busters and penalties come into play.

I was thinking it was on one trip there years ago, many scams relating to transportation.

Yes, although with them in most positions of power and decision making, quite a barrier.

And non Thais can go there?

Their own greed will be their downfall I suspect.

Or Penthouse/Kitten Club?

Continuing a longer trend... it has been weakening for 10 days now. Dare we Expats get optimistic.

Probably covered in weasel clause 13b.

He is probably well clued in on their ways young Nate, fruit basket with brown envelope under the offerings.

That and a glut in elephant pajamas in the markets.

Should insurance companies be taking premiums and expecting people not to drink when on vacations? If sleeping it off and the hotel ceiling collapses on me, I would hope to be covered.

It was a basket case not long ago........my how times change.

It is actually......just a one off personal account and not evidence of anything.

Possibly the potential numbers involved.....10x the population? Plus a close proximity.

Get off your asses and go get him!

Bloody heaved it down North of Pattaya about 3am today......my bathroom was being lit up like New Years Eve!

Absolutely... it frequently kills, also blinds and causes a lot of suffering. To trivialize this incident in as much as saying 'well in this case she did not die.' (due to her own awareness) is disingenuous... turning a blind eye toward life threatening ineptitude.

Whatever. But deluded.
