Yes although they got rid of the one that was right on the beach. Tides seem a little higher than before

There is a reason that when in the U.S. and Canada you hire a few girls for a party that the girls usually have an escort with them and or never go alone. While I agree that girls should not have to worry about this it is unfortunately a fact of society that when boys/men have a party where alcohol is present and pretty girls are that the BIG head cedes all thought to the little head. Also when you look at the way that Thai girls are normally treated and portrayed both in life but on TV that it is never a sae environment for a girl/lady to be in a group of men or boys alone. As has been stated drinks can be drugged or inhibitions lowered. While I do not agree with what happened and feel that the boys should be charged for a girl to dress sexy, act sexy and go alone to a party like this is not what i would call the smartest thing. While we males tend to think with our small head girls tend to think with their pocket books which has even less brain power.

Yes sorry for the confusion can you fix the title for simplification purposes please

Personally I think this is probably your best approach rent the house from the company at a reasonable rate then just claim it as income and expenses. The one thing to remember is that Thais do not do out of the box very well and immigration does it even worse. I would suggest that you do the contract now before you do your visa extension just to9 make it easier.

First the weather was great. If you are going then I suggest that you take the minibuses to Bang Phe. Easier and the busses take you right to the pier. The big difference is that there are no boats that go to the resorts the only way onto the island is through the main pier so it is a pain in the assets from that standpoint. Island taxis (they call them busses) are expensive. Thais and domestic expats are flocking to some of the locations. Sametville where I was was quite busy. While the bars are closed you can still buy beer and have it with your meal. None of the day trips are happening. Getting back to the mainland was easy highly recommend fast boats as they are not as crowded. Over all it was a great weekend lots of sun and relaxation. If you are looking to get away from BKK then highly recommend Koh Samet

Yeah it is always interesting. Before Pand I could buy most of my groceries for 2,000 baht. Now it is closer to 3 and not always able to get what I need. However the member of my family that is really <deleted> is my cat. Getting his favourite cat food is hit and miss as I guess they have trouble importing it or something.

Not just Thailand all SE Asian countries did the same thing. The U.S. was fully aware of it and did nothing.

That protect no one. The problem with the U.S. Laws is that they are not acted upon.

There will be more cases no matter what you do., Opening the country will bring with it variants of covid. All you have to do is follow the number of people that have been vaccinated and still got the virus. Last time I checked and have not heard any different the MRNA are not to prevent you getting the virus but to lessen it's affect on you. Opening the borders right away is a wrong move. IMHO What they need to do is open the country to the domestic market. i.e bars and spas. Let's see the affect that that move has on the local populist and then move towards opening the country. Let's face it you are not gong to get the tourists that spend money unless you open bars and pubs. How many people are going to come here for NYE if they can not have a few drinks of bubbly?

They will not sell these openly to Thais as that would bring the law against them for hurting Thais. If you look at most things here you never see people copying anything Thai as that would lead to Thai courts. Examples are/were plenty at Khaosan Road. You can/could buy a university degree to almost any university in the world except a Thai university, Same with ID cards. An interesting point to all this is that the Ziskin that is mentioned spent 12 years in Prison in the states for being smuggling ecstasy in the the U.S, so he should of been more aware. Also have to wonder why it took the FDA and HS in the states to act on things. You would have thought that they would have blacklisted Thai companies form shipping/selling PPE. Any time that there is a huge demand for something people will find a way to make money from it. Not just in LOS but any part of the world.

There was prostitution in Thailand before Vietnam. If nothing else where ever a ship docks there will be women looking to give sailor a good time. Same in every country. Even Muslim. The issue for Thailand as well as the Philippines was the influx of military expanded the demand and the business. How ever if it was a Vietnam only thing it would have tapered off instead of growing so big. Is

I have a feeling that 50k will be the new normal even after covid. Still do not see a lot of the long term visitors coming until bars open. Don't say anything but there are a couple of bars open on samed although the hotels are dry. Well at least I have the beach.

The test can be done at swampy or dmk and the results fwd to your asq that makes sense. IF they do it right. My worry is the countries that they are allowing. The USA is a melting pot. Also until they open the whole f country including kissing and bars and test it with just Thais partying it will only create havoc if they open the gates and let people in with no booze. NYE is the biggest one time money maker and draw for hotels and bars. No booze no tourism

Last RUMOR was 1 Nov however nothing has been officially stated. I think it may depend on the number vaxxed.

That already happened and they only paid lip service to it.

Not sure if it would work well but would it be possible to build a sound wall along your property

The bottom line is they are signing contracts before they even know what is happening. One thing is certain if LaLisa performs in Phuket there will be a huge surge in tourism form the young girls and families that get dragged along from Korea. As for Botacelli yes he is a great singer however, there really is no value in bringing him to Bangkok for an open air televised performance. The challenge is that the Thai music industry has not developed the stars that they need. Remember that in marketing in Thailand it is the 18-30 market that probably spends the most as they have free capital to spend. Botticelli is not going to interest them in the slightest.

GO GO bars in Thailand are like strip clubs in North America. They will survive and flourish but probably not in the numbers they presently are. They over flooded the market. Now the herd is being culled and the strong will survive.

She obviously is talking to other wives and gf. This happened to me and really the only thing you can do is sit her down and show her what she has versus what the others have. It probably willnot change much but that is the choice you have. Show her what life will be like without you and with also if You break up do it in a way that tells everyone that you had no choice change the locks and tell security that she is no longer allowed in the your condo. She can still get entrance from her friends inthe condo.

It is a start. To open wide and say no restrictions would put a strain on the Thai people's belief. I do though think that they would have been better off to open the country and promote domestic travel especially witht he long weekend this weekend they could have added a day and made it a time for people to travel then in 14 days see what the affects are. I also think that before you can open the doors you have to remove all the internal limits. Open the bars the same as they did with restaurants with limits to the number of people and the activity. A slow successful opening is better than an hasty one.

If you want to attract millions hire the Rolling Stones But my question is more generic. Right now no one is allowed into the country. Do they think that by December tey will be able to open the floodgates to you Korean girls and allow Thais to travel freely. Also right now there is a limit on the size of groups. If you open this up to the numbers that you would need we are looking at NYE pre covid where everyone is bunched together there is drinking and partying. Financially I do not see it as viable unless they open the bars in Phuket and Bangkok. Andre Botacelli and I really do not see Young Thais flocking to anywhere in BKK to see him. As to Lalisa. Yes they numbers may grow in Phuket. The rest of the country will stay home and watch it on their TV's or in town locations with big TV's. Get prepared for covid 19 spread again if they screw it up like I think they will

The problem with him leaving is wh do they replace him with. It seems that Thais have not learned form past mistakes. They still really have only 2 parties to choose from and neither is exactly what you want. To be honest I am surprised that a new version of the FFF has not started and built it's power base.

A much simpler way is to elect a new board to look after the condo. or elect members that are like minded to sit on the condo board. Do not forget that a little brown envelope or good deed done for the BMA can change any report.

You are in Thailand and not Thai. That being said it is the same in every country that if you are recording anything then you are supposed to at least advise the person in a way that they understand that you are recording it. They then have the option of saying OK or of walking away. Most People would walk away. It is the lazy man's new age oway of asking for something in writing.

Yeah but you have to admit it was worth a try LOL.
