Without naming your business,who has a business here in Pattaya?

 

Do you own it more as something to do rather than massive profit?

 

Not everyone has a bar business to make money , of course if your breaking even it can be a hobby for someone retired and looking for company in terms of talking 

 

There was a bar like that in Soi Bukhao

But I'm not a people person I hate people 

 

I was listening to a German guy years ago who told me he rented a shop house for his German restaurant with a apartment on top free rent ,he said ,I make nothing but I get free rent 

 

It's not as easy as it sounds 

What business do you have or your partner ?

 

 

None of your business!

Give them a chance they only just found the phones, plus they have many things to deal with, speeding cars, well I can't think of anything else but I am sure they are busy because you never see them out working. 

Yes, quite so. Poor overworked police. Must be the only police force in the world that works 9-5. They're good at tracking suspects on CCTV though. Always seem to be able to locate suspects even in the next town. I don't suppose we'll get any follow ups on this.

It's in the Bangkok forum, that should be a hint. 

Yeah, well on my mobile there's just a small "Bangkok" upper left. I never noticed it before.

Does it show the forum anywhere? I can't see it. And lower Sukhumvit? You guys are talking Sois 4 to 11. That's top end of Sukhumvit in my book. After the flyover it's Ploenchit.

And his plan is? 🚮

So where can you get permission for trafficking drugs? 😂

And cause harm to society without permission.

Is that something like the pot and the kettle?? Many Thais abused their visa for overstaying in S Korea and stayed to work there.. Wondering why there are stricter measures now for Thai??? Thailand is doing the same with other countries too

Philippines for example. Myanmar. Cambodia. Lao. What goes around....

It's some time ago that I was out until 1am or longer. Getting old and all that.

I live in lower Sukhumvit and sometimes I am out at 6:30 in the morning and I see lots of people who look like they just stopped partying. 

What bars, clubs or whatever are open until dawn in that area?

 

I don't want to go there at 4am, I am just interested in what is going on. 

Sukhumvit where? Pattaya, Bangkok?

So 10.2% of sales to foreigners is now known as a surge?

Seems a very meagre proportion. 90% Thai then? That's a lot of money slushing around out here. How many were nominee buyers for Chinese and Russians? 50%? It's the only way Chinese can do business here, and it's very iffy. Maybe crypto? No links to data.

Wise provides sort code, account no, bank address, IBAN and all the rest. I have both £ and $ accounts. But no interest if you're registered in Thailand. Mostly EU and US.

What does she label the contents of the shipment? Any meds I've had shipped in that are marked as meds are grabbed and you have to present an import license or some pre-approval documents. 

Health supplements. To date not had a problem over maybe 3 years.

Wow thanks, that's an amazing price! 

 

I'll have a look on google. What is the delivery time scale like?

Only suggested Google for reference. You'll need to shop on Indiamart. Postage is quite high. I added 350 tabs of Bisoprolol which is not expensive here, but just to make up the weight. All told, the p & p was $26. She has a Wise account and is on WhatsApp. She sends photos of all boxes, packaging, lot nos, expiry dates etc. It goes RMS, so registered with tracking number. Approximately 10 days to my post office at Chaiyapreuk.

I can supply her details on a pm if you like. She speaks, or types rather, good English. But with Indiamart, you will get a lot of replies if you type in what you're looking for. India is the world's pharmacy! Shop around. You might well find better.

I expect you been asked before but is it original? 

You can source original, but I buy generic. Rivasmart. See on Google. $82.50 for 350 tabs. No import/customs problems with my contact. YMMV.

I usually order all my meds at the same time, and for a mate. Saves on postage.

Get it from Indiamart. A fraction of the price. Been using it for years.

The health minister is one of the Thaksin appointments that he is rumoured to be reviewing for replacement in a cabinet reshuffle. Given his slaughter of 2,000 alleged drug dealers he may feel Cholnan is being too soft on drugs.  Anyway Cholnan vowed to quit if PT formed a coalition with the uncle parties. So why is he still around?

He quit the chair of Pork Pie as promised. He probably would have done that anyway to make way for Nepobabe Paetongtarn.

10,000 THB for your dead child. I'm weeping.

Meanwhile they're lining up legislation to outlaw a daily spliff. 2 meth pills v 2 spliffs. Which causes more problems? The man's a fool.

Thanks to everyone who replied. As a temporary measure I've switched on subs. They're slightly intrusive if you're focused on the screen, but definitely an improvement. As an avid YouTube for music user, headphones are absolutely essential. So I might well explore some Bluetooth headsets/buds or whatever, in that line. Multipurpose.

There's no such thing as the Liquor Policy Committee, and no decision has been made. Totally fake misleading "news"!

Whether it's me or not I can't tell, but I'm finding the audio on movies is becoming increasingly hard to pick up. Sure, some accents might as well be in another language apart from English, and the sound engineers on movies just don't seem to get that dialogue is far more important than guns and cars exploding. But it makes for a totally intolerable constant volume adjustment on the remote.

So, I'd like to invest in a decent set of TV speakers. But no idea where to start. Budget maybe around 1500 THB. Would that cover it? Soundbar? Bluetooth? How say you guys?

My dear old Yamaha Fino is on its last legs.  Fourteen years old and god knows what mileage, (my Speedo packed up six years ago.) 

So I've been browsing the internet the past few weeks and checking out the new bikes.  I've decided to get a Honda Click 125.  On the Honda website, it's advertised at 51,900 baht.

So, today I was surprised to find out that the three Honday motorbike dealerships in Pattaya start their prices at 57 plus.

I always rented with Jack on Buakhao, but decided to buy. He sold me a "brand new" yammy 125 for 39,000 THB. It had been in a showroom for 3 years so was like yesterday's model. I took it to the Yamaha service centre on Pattaya Tai. They confirmed it was new, or maybe as new. 200 THB to check it over. It purrs along, literally! Find somebody you trust.

Warning! Military Coup in Process. Shelter in Place until further notice. 

Thailand military coups occur more often than tsunamis.

 

Yes. "This is not a drill. Return to your homes immediately. 18-30 yo males report to army barracks. The rest of you, bow down and shut up. Shoot on sight dissenters in operation."

Wow, just reading that the cabinet has approved new borrowings, equal to the amount of digital wallet (560 bill baht) but for a different purpose, or so it is  reported, nod nod wink wink. It looks like they are going to go ahead with this regardless....I'm amazed.

Money laundering by any other name.
