  1. Full credit to you for asking about this BEFORE you book and pay a deposit, or pay for your stay in full. Many people have had arguments with hotel staff over this very issue when they are told of the "fee" at a later point in time.

    I suggest you send them another email and say, "1500 baht for a lady to stay in my room is too expensive. Me and my 10 friends will stay at a different hotel for our holiday." smile.pngsmile.png

  3. Land of Smiles…me think not

    It's just an advertising slogan to lure people to visit Thailand. Did you really fall for it? blink.png

    Fall for it... fall for it... a lot of people STILL think that a woman they rent for 2000 baht a night is their girlfriend! they walk around hand in hand with them...its hilarious. Those guys really do know how to fool themselves, if nobody else.

    She said she was different !! Didn't know she meany gender ...dammit ..;-)))

  5. There's a French/Arab area in Nanai?

    Southern end. Very noticeable in that area.

    The Tmax bikes also provide evidence.

    Hahaha very true ..

  6. She has no time for her step dad, she says he doesn't care for her mum. Most of the things I care about, re household items are too heavy to carry easily. Most of our money is tied up in long term accounts.

    Good luck to ya man but stay alert I haven't met a Thai girl yet who doesn't care for her mom even if they are C#%^ts

  7. T.ry again as I said I kinda agree with u !! I certainly didn't mean sneak in as u put it I would defy any Russian to sneak anywhere ;-) just be clear I feel the Ruskys are the only ones with the bottle to do wot I would consider their right to run businesses in full view of all and compete with the locals hence the objections .

    Wot I am saying is full credit to them and I do hope they are successful in Phuket it needs someone to knock this corrupt train off it's track.

  8. The Russians are going no where they know who to pay , it's just a matter of amending the amount ,the TUK TUKs also know how corrupt the police etc are and that's why they have taken it upon themselves to try to do something about it .

    Any bets on the Russians getting here in bigger numbers...

    Of course the Russian know who to pay, and they do pay. However, "tea money" has to be factored into your business plan. It is a liability - an expense - and it comes off your bottom line.

    If they have to "amend the amount" as you put it, and the new "amount" means they will be passing higher running costs onto their customers, then, a holiday in Pattaya is now looking a lot cheaper than Phuket, and the business owner must also be thinking, "I can run the same business, with less tea money to pay, in Pattaya and no problems from tuk-tuk drivers."

    So, the ussian business owner seriously considers moving his business. He can do so because, although there are thousands of Russian tourist coming to Thailand, the language barrier, both spoken and writen, does lend themselves to be a niche market. I notice you will only see Russians in an establishment that has a sign out the front writen in Russian.

    The question also remains, if the Russians, like everyone else, are paying tea money and bribes to have Russian staff working, why are they being shut down???? They are paying for "protection." Why pay for protection if you are not being protected???? So, they know they are being ripped off.

    This is another reason why I think many of them will be moving to Pattaya, they get better value for their corruption dollar. :) :) They pay their protection money and then it's "hands off" from officials and locals, and they are free to conduct their business, which we should not forget, employs a lot of Thai staff.

    Some good points and I tend to agree with u but I still feel they will master the way through here and in the end do as they are doin in Pattaya the powers that be will eventually pave the way IMHO
