I don't fear weed and a few drugs like that (maybe cocaine) being easily available, but we need to have confidence what is in the supply. Some drugs that are slipped in are highly addictive and dangerous and create more crime. I don't think things would head in a good way if generally drugs were easily available and cheap. We have slid down a dark path since they became simply 'available'. They just bring about too much crime and misery. As usual people bring up alcohol, which is simply deflection and irrelevant.

There are lakes on Koh Larn now????

I just knew you would have to bring Trump into it. Where driving is concerned, Thais are deserving of criticism. Rural people especially, out for one of the biannual tris to visit family. Figures do not lie.

Yes, some truth there!

Let the tide clean up after them, or even move them on?

Jeez, these woke types pop up out of the woodwork at any time or place. Will they ever mind their own business?

The Visa free idea for Chinese nationals is beginning to look a bit unsound these days. Any chance of chucking the lot of them out and starting again?

Give it time........the place will be full of yurts!

They are like that in Bali too, all adds to the confusion and distraction.

Seems to be reminiscent of the damaged jet ski scam, although it should be easier for the police to locate where it all took place.

Of course they do, what happened here, and the fact so many use scanning and do not carry cash obligates it.

Can't even put up tent on the beach though.

And sex for Russian couples of course, and as a bathroom for others.

This is a scam for the especially gullible. I would be wary of even getting my wallet out, never minding handing over my wad. (That said, a money exchange got me in Bali!!!!)

Too young to be riding a motorcycle......

And the infamous one some years prior where he hit a road sign and sliced himself into a couple of pieces. Used to be people going off the end the flyover ramp to Hwy 7 off Suk that got all the racers.

Yes, they got their own.

They are held in remand until they or their embassy can come up with the fare.

My Mrs is registered in Korat but seems able to make use of the 35 baht scheme here in Pattaya at a Government hospital.

Just adding a sprinkle of variety!

And cheap guys like me who drive an ancient vehicle!

90 days gets reset to when you entered. You will have to do the report in person though.

Nakhonchai Air is good although getting to the bus station can be a pain if you have baggage. They most certainly go from Pattaya to Korat, although you will not see booking availability on the website. Listed just from Rayong probably. There is also a coach company leaves from 3rd Rd on the left just beyond Klang heading to the North. There is also the option of changing in Bangkok at Moechit but that is a pain, Moechit being big and chaotic. .

Soi Buakhao, few shop houses North East (towards Lengkhee) from Cheap Charlies. Guy seems to know what is required for each photos use.

Not to this extent, they do overbook to try and make up for expected no-shows. They try to recover by offering quite lucrative compensation deals like free flight vouchers or cash.
