    Has the demographics changed? When the Russians first started coming here, they seemed to be mostly belligerent, poorly mannered drunkards. The Thais were scared of them.

    What on earth has the vehicle I drive and exactly where I live got to do with it? (I have lived in Pattaya and area for 20 years) I was replying to someone bringing Mexico into the comparison for some reason! Mexico is hardly a safe place itself!

    I often wonder how much sex education there already is in the schools.. I suspect little to zero, as seemed to be the case when I first came here some decades ago. Nowadays it is more complicated!

    Pattaya has a very good Promenade to Walk down, as does Jomtien..... and Pattaya also has a nice flat sandy beach that gets lit up, that is a pleasant walk, just slip off the shoes. A few groups that make one feel bit unsafe is the problem.

    A possible part of the story but considering the surgery I would say trauma to the head too.

    Did I say that? It is possible the details in the report are incomplete. The possibility of using multiple cards or accounts was not mentioned. Plus I see only a single person and not a gang! It would take about 40 transactions.

    Are you? I don't think it is such a bad idea. Facilities are top notch in the area and far better than nearly all those Nakhon Nowheres and Ubon Boonies. There is a contrast out by the lake to say Soi Bong Koch!

    Didn't think you could get anywhere near that amount from an ATM machine!

    Unwanted pregnancy should also get a mention..... so many have kids in their low teens and enter the path to Pattaya!
  10. jacko45k
    Oz kids do this too. Thailand often mentions some incoming tourist charge that will go towards medical insurance, perhaps it can ultimately be tied in with the TDAC now it has been implemented.

    Yes, it seems to be a frequent thing of late, a changing situation not for the better.

    Don't be confused, but that seems to be the pronoun they get 'mostly. I know, they are simply men in frocks, but apparently that, and a bit of silicone suffices!

    As the saying goes....'No good deed goes unpunished'.......

    Did you pay for the 1 week argument or only the 24 hour one? Logic, in Thai mentality. Have you ever been here?
  15. jacko45k
    So they go to Indians hotel rooms as part of that? AS for the rest of your comment, yes, as I said, get rid of them!

    I suspect a person looking at a deportation, detention plus a 20 k fine and 5 year blacklist could pay more. Why are you being obtuse, a thousand baht to a hotel worker is what might be needed?
  17. jacko45k
    Well an employee would not see the benefit of that....! The police make use of a lot of informers, and I doubt they do it for free. It could be worth 20,000 baht.

    Something you get on a Snickers Bar.

    Some are not keen to pay for a taxi and choose to walk back to their hotel.
  20. jacko45k
    Many hotels are quite keen to see your passport, and it would not take much effort to check if a guest is on overstay. I have often suspected there would be a few baht in it for the hotel staff to report such a guest.

    Since she was kicking him in the nuts and gut, I expect he was glad to unlock them himself.

    Yet again on TV yesterday I was reminded that on the Railway Line road, traffic crossing the railway has right of way. As a frequent user, I know in reality it varies junction to junction, with some sort of acceptance of right of way to one direction or the other.

    Too much time on the computer playing games maybe?
  24. jacko45k
    Fair comment!
  25. jacko45k
    Yes, let us focus on the fact that these are the drugs that cause crime and violence, not a puff on a bit of weed.
