Let the train take the strain instead of flying out of Thailand
crazykopite replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I once flew to Singapore from Thailand for 3,000 baht return that’s when I was getting 55 baht to the £. I flew from Krabi outwards and flew back to Bangkok on my return those were the days I doubt they will ever return not for me anyway as I’m getting on in life -

My experience of Thai trains is “ Never Again “ !!!!! -
My friend Jim we are the same age 71 had his left eye done think it cost 50,000 baht he was due to have his other eye done 6 months later sadly he passed away after tripping up while getting off his scooter when he parked it up at home bump his head 3 hours later he had severe headaches and called for an ambulance they placed him on a machine but 6 hours later he passed the government hospital bill for 6 hours was 38,000 baht and they wouldn’t allow the removal of his remains until the bill was paid . I have often asked my self should he have had both eyes done at the same time since then I have decided to carry on wearing glasses

crazykopite replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Is this the ANTICIPATED income generated on the 10 million tourists that COULD visit the Kingdom this year I presume that as we are approaching the eight month they already have the number of visitors since 1st January 2022 and that’s how they have come to these figures or is it yet another case of PIGS MAY FLY !!!!!!! -

It is reported in the U.K. that this virus is very active amongst the gay community maybe the powers to be should investigate and test the gay community in Phuket as he must of caught it from someone in the local community as he is on overstay for a long period of time -
Approval reported for a bridge between Koh Samui and the mainland
crazykopite replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
I suppose that’s in the 20 year plan along with the Submarines that are still waiting to have engines fitted Yesterday I read that Samui plans to have a berth terminal for all the cruise ships that will be arriving it reminds me of the plans some 16 years ago to build a marina to accommodate up to 200 small craft in Samui I don’t even think it got as far as dredging the area to make the water deeper It’s all a pipe dream that will never happen unless big brown envelopes are exchanged -
Tourists wait up to five hours for ferries from Samui Island
crazykopite replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
The Ferries are never on time to and from the islands last week I had a friend stuck on the Raja at Phangan for 8 hours he wasn’t even compensated unlike Europe where the ferries have the responsibility to take care of you in unlikely situations “Amazing Thailand” -
Tourism ministry dual pricing proposal for hotel rates
crazykopite replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What a great way to motivate holiday makers to come and spend there hard earned money in Thailand What clown thought up this crazy idea -
Maybe the time has come when a foreigner is allowed to present his income/savings that he has in his home country instead of the stupidity of having to have 800k in a Thai bank if your not married to a Thai you are discriminated against as the money requirement is double . I live in my own however I did have a Thai GF for 3 months my monthly expenditure trebled in that time yet if I had of married her then all that would be required in my Thai account is 400,000 baht that’s crazy
