  1. It’s going to take quite some time to achieve a reciprocal visa free travel deal with the Schengen states. Prime Minister Srettha should boost tourist numbers by offering 90 days visa free travel to members of Schengen as a gesture of goodwill. Or at the very least to travelers over a certain age. Lots of retired european people would love to spend the winter months lying on the beaches or playing golf in Thailand. More so, if free from visa and immigration hassles. Khun Srettha is soon traveling to India to propose a visa free deal. I am afraid that tourist from that continent will greatly boost arrival numbers, but definitely not Thailands coffers.
  2. Try not to give your waiter a tip in New York and see their reaction.
  3. I have used the same barber in Bangkok for more than 40 years. Even after I moved to Pattaya, I always plan my trips to Bangkok around the time I need a haircut. The barbershop is located in Sukhumvit Soi 8. He used to be on the main soi, but moved into the first side soi on the right hand side some years ago. no fuzz. Around 10 minutes from arrival till the job is done. Price is 200 Baht paid to his wife, and I always give him 100 Baht tip on the way out.
  4. What is meant by “former Thai singer” She is not Thai anymore? or she doesn’t sing anymore.?
  5. Is it just me, or have others also stopped reading ASEAN NOW topics due to the extremely annoying constantly video pop up ads??
  6. In 1980 I travelled to Hua Hin with some friends. I am pretty sure we stayed in a 2-3 storey Thai style hotel with fan rooms located where the police station is now at Damnernkasem Road. Also seem to remember it was called the Railway Hotel, though not to be confused with the Old Railway Hotel now the Centara Grand further down the road. Is my memory faded or can any old Hua Hin hands in this forum remember this place. Maybe even have some pictures.
  7. Free antigen test on arrival. 30 minutes waiting for the result and off you go
  8. Well. My wife and I had 14 great days in the SANDBOX. We rented a car for the full period, played 9 rounds of golf at various courses, had dinner in numerous restaurants, paid handsome tips to maids, bell boys, waitresses and caddies. So I would say we contributed quite a lot to the “little old folks”
