Duopoly.

Where have you encountered this? I haven't seen beer pretties for ages. Pretty sure I read on here years ago that they are verboten, just like that Thai singer that twerked too much and got scolded by the PM.

Speak for yourself. I just did the ordinary train trip from Thonburi to Wang Pho in Kanchanaburi. About five hours each way and hot AF but I had a great time. And we saw the chaang at the heffelump sanctuary ????

I'll sign said petition if it will bring the beer pretties back! ????

Be careful what you wish for, a "new" government could go even more conservative. Old moon face was big on that wasn't he?

That's how they do things around here bro. Get used to it or spend the rest of your life getting het up about it. Howling at the moon and flapping your arms around ain't going to change things here one iota.

No, just you.

Hyperbole much? Those requirements you mentioned are a doddle compared to what I was asked for back at the end of Feb. Presumably it's that particular branch's interpretation of recent changes in the AMLO space.

But you won't tell us for. London to a brick on that this didn't happen in Bangkok.

I went to the Th. Surawong branch of BBL to try and get a 2nd account as my initial account was opened in Patts. Last year they showed me the old standard list of requirements from their HQ/website. In principle I could have gotten away with CoR from CW and Non-O but I never got around to it. This year they showed me a four-point list, one of which was something about a guarantee letter from my Embassy. Fat chance of the Astrayan embassy helping a cobber out. i was a bit p!ssed off so I didn't take a copy of the actual requirements but they were way too onerous. Pile-driver to crack a peanut kind of thing. It's too damn hot to go bank hopping so I'm kicking the can down the road for a month or two.

Rediculous even.

I was pleasantly surprised in February to find out I didn't have to schlepp to Soi 5 for a photo. I use Maneerat on Soi Post.

I do. Done it heaps of times before I got my 'retirement visa'. Well, 3 times. TIT, it's only wrong if you get caught.

Somebody done drunk the Kool-Aid ????

*BBL

Why are you paying for him, is he work-shy?

This. Sammy Thailand won't touch a "foreign" model. Been there done that (Si Lom service centre).

I've only read Private Dancer and No Money, No Honey, the latter being about Singapore. I've forgotten most of NMNH, the only thing I recall is the response of a working girl to a question about paying for sex. Her response was "where got free <deleted>?" ???? I use the term quiet often as it's a bit more exotic than the old "free lunch" adage.

Just ignore the guy. You say black, he'll say white and vicey-versa ????

I don't know how I know this, maybe I saw it in Asia Books in Royal Garden Plaza once but the title is "Hello My Big Big Honey". Google says it was first published in 1992. I have even heard of Thailand in 1992! Someone is trying to flog it on Amazon for seventy-five bucks. https://www.amazon.com/Hello-Letters-Bangkok-Revealing-Interviews/dp/0867194731

Please seek professional help.

No, a couple means two. End of.

do what do you eat with the sweet and sour pork that you order from the local Chinese, hot chips?

that's how it works here man, accept it and move on with your life.

There are no such rules.
