  1. Exactly, there are many things to complain but it's still the best place to live imo. - Steady climate: always hot, but no extremes like the heatwaves in China/Europe. - Safe: Some people might argue but here you don't need to be constantly in fear like in South America. - Affordable: There is something for every pocket, despite the recent inflation you can still live and eat very cheap if needed - People: Thais they have their flaws, but it's one of the best places to be if you want to avoid Karens, SJWs and entitled people that get offended by anything. And yet, it's pretty much the most LGBT friendly country in the world. - Freedom: much more limited than before, but far from the overregulated hell that most first world western countries have become. - Religion: Buddhists are very pacific compared to some other religions. I could go on, but I think I made my point.
  2. Almost happened to me once, once I parallel parked between two very large plastic bottles (just enough room for my car). When I came back later a Thai guy was fuming that I parked there and started kicking the bottles (lol). I got out of there quickly.
  3. I understand when it's a small business, they don't really have a competent authority to formulate the text. But this <deleted> sign at Pattaya intersections. They couldn't have formulated it in a more confusing way. Am I supposed to turn while it's red? Do I wait for the green to turn? Any other way they wrote this it would be more clear: "Only turn on green" "Don't turn when it's red" "Wait for the green light to turn"
  4. if they do this there will be people breeding dogs just to kill them and bring in for the bounty
  5. I'm all up for a punishment for a random grope of a woman, but how the hell one grope is worth 200k in damages while the life of someone burned to death due to multiple negligent actions is worth 50k?
  6. Yeah let's cut earnings from those who have been mostly affected in the past 2.5 years (hotels, air transport). They're are already heavily discounted, I live in Thailand and when I go to Bangkok there are many great hotel choices for the cheapest price they've ever been. Even under 1000b you can find some quite decent places. The baht has been the weakest since I've been coming here (2010). I can blame 10 other things for lack of tourists but not the baht or the hotels.
  7. I couldn't find an answer anywhere for this question: what happens if someone coming from a country that requires a yellow fever shot doesn't have the proper vaccination certificate when arriving at Suvarnabhumi? A relative from Brazil will come visit me here and right now the vaccine is pretty much impossible to find, the media set the population on panic and every place that provides it needs previous scheduling (and there are no spots left for the next 2 months), his trip is in about a month. Assuming that he would not have the certificate and is able to board, what would happen at the airport here? Would they just give him a shot and allow him in?
