  1. For some reason, every time a few beach chair vendors complain, they rescind restrictions.
  2. Immigration may well have helped the USA and Oz in their early days, but modern day immigration does not seem to be of any benefit to Europe, UK and maybe modern day USA. Many countries are struggling under the weight of it. Perhaps Thailand has more sense.
  3. I have no idea what you suggest...... I believe LBs spend a good amount in these places, having shaves and various treatments 'keeping up appearances'... a few regular LB customers would soon fill the money drawer up.
  4. Been catching a few YT videos about EVs and the downsides of them. Bumping the undercarriage, ie the batteries, is an expensive concern. Tesla's Cybertruck cannot be sold in Europe as it fails safety regulations....(admittedly more about hitting pedestrians with it's sharp angles).
  5. Yeah, I have took them to bits and sprayed a bit of WD40 here and there. Passes the time. Don't forget to unplug them!
  6. It may well be... but for some reason does not surprise me. Maybe a weeks takings and couldn't be bothered going to the bank.
  7. And better not to, they have a reputation of rip-offs.
  8. And to be seen. So many bikes in rural areas have non-functional lights... it's as if they take the bulbs out to save on petrol. Even if not, I often see a headlight blocked by something in the front basket... two or three kids, or the family dog maybe.
  9. I read it that he took the money out in fear of a frozen account and later deposited it into the scammers account, so possibly the bank allowed him to make a substantial cash withdrawal. Also that would not arouse the banks suspicions so much.
  10. That's how a fine works here. Some large restaurants nearby my home all seem to employ Cambodians.
  11. It's all about numbers..... quantity over quality.
  12. My pal had one of these and my-oh-my it certainly had the bells and whistles.
  13. You mean the premier family friendly resort of Pattaya!
  14. Well not when the other guy has a baseball bat!
  15. It all went downhill when the then new Peppermint employed male service staff!
  16. It is possible, maybe likely, the bike had no lights. But a Pajero certainly would have.
  17. How many people have received this 10,000 baht now.....wasn't it proposed in October last year?
  18. I am rather a pessimist! So used to seeing a corrupt family running things here.
  19. How does the limited lighting affect the braking of the vehicle and why were you driving so close behind?
  20. Some mysterious person being snuck out of U-Tapao airport?
  21. And they likely blame those predecessors.... Meanwhile, thousands and thousands are inconvenienced simply trying to get about...... I am struggling to see the improvements in Pattaya the last 2 years have brought about, but hope you are correct.
  22. There were rumours that many contracts went to companies that a previous mayor's family members owned. Is that BS and if not how was it achieved with the methods you claim were used?
  23. Not much hassle for the Expats, wear a helmet, have a Thai licence and no real problems ever.
  24. What, to visit a Mall?
