Bangkok airports hit turbulence: Ranked among world’s worst
bristolgeoff replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I thought it was up with the others although many new airports built worldwide since swampy was built.The new train station built and waiting for everything to connect to it.Once that happens connections and anything else will be something and people will say amazing station I,am sure.A airport can only do so much people enter and exit and transport to get there works for bkk.Overall I think swampy does what it says on the box -

bristolgeoff replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
As far as i know the rules if a farang has a company.He must employ several thais pay tax and health insurance for them. costs alot to them,they get a work permit too.They would work in the business but the rules and thais do the work they just watch.The director or directors including a thai director too i believe,that is the requirement if u want to set up a company in thaialnd -

Thai taxi driver slams cops for toll indulgence
bristolgeoff replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
When I take a taxi in bkk always meter or no ride.All depends time and where u go of course.but if heavy traffic then the tollway saves time,or else the long way ok.Just make it clear with the taxi driver about everything before u get into the cab.Doing a runner happens but a bad look for tourist -

bristolgeoff replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Why bother thais do the same too I suppose.Not the end of the world but some thais maybe are jealous at the time.If I saw someone have sex on the beach I would noticed of course watch for a second and move on,then think maybe me next time or the mile high club if I,am lucky -

When i see all the tours to the tourist places in bkk,I know the boat trip and others are far away and take hrs to reach.When there, the thais charge alot to enter if u don,t agree you don,t enter.Then u have to get back to the centre with the same tuk tuk and then pay more or they leave.Heard this story last year from some tourist who got caught.Let say they were well and truly scammed -
