Whether in criminal or political dramas, follow the money.

Guest must have gotten on the wrong foot with resort owner. No more payment maybe? Thais are known to be ‘benevolent and turn a blind eye to any infringement of laws.

You do that, he will definitely bring that axe down onto your boot or worse the rear windscreen. Not a good exchange of event. Just speed off to avoid that imbecile.

Good enough for tourists to take ig photos but ,definitely for those in the know, not a copy of the infamous Angkor wat. But then for those Cambodians that claimed otherwise, well you can’t cure stupid.

Exceptions for humanitarian needs, such as urgent medical care, student education, and essential daily life activities. I think Thai authorities allow goods and services to cross border on foot but not vehicles.

I remembered last year my Korean friend and wife wanting to visit Damnoen Saduak market even though they knew it is a tourist trap. They were on holiday so this is one item from their bucket list. My missus, a long term resident fluent in Thai,negotiated with the boatman on my behalf and managed to lower the price substantially. It is what it is.

If relevant authorities sleep on the job and let this trend continue, Thai people are just killing their golden goose. Short term profit cannibalising long term growth. a short sighted business strategy.

I visited pattaya once a month or so on the way to rayong klaeng or chantaburi for the quiet beaches. Had done so for 2 decades. Pattaya is good for a transit stay for the good restaurants there especially Patrick’s grill restaurant. Pattaya has good western restaurants too. You do not have to visit the nightlife area if you are not inclined.

Some cars have a window tint that is too dark to be used safely at night . You get to see only reflections on the windows making it a hazard to drive at night. I drove a friend’s suv once at night and got the fright of my life when I realized both windows were heavily tinted. I can only see thru the windscreen. The windows and rear windscreen were all heavily tinted and showed total reflections. Ok for day driving but a hazard at night.

Do not drink to total incapacitation. Be responsible with alcohol. I only got drunk twice in my whole life. Don’t cheapen your life like that. You owe it to yourself to live a long and fruitful life . Don’t throw your life callously like that. Nobody ,not even your wife , is responsible for your well-being but yourself.

Teaching is a noble profession that brings upon the next generation. For some teachers, it is not a calling but is just a job that bring food to the table .

This teacher should be taken away quietly and taught a severe lesson literally. I definitely would if it is my son. No Thai education is worth dying for.

Last week I was having dinner with missus at a restaurant in Korat on holiday. In came a schoolboy ( wearing a school uniform) selling bags of yogurt. I told him I need only 2 cups as the rest would be wasted and thrown away. however I will give him the amount for the whole batch. I can see the gratitude in his eyes as he waied me profusely. He reminded me of my son about his age.

Those cheapskates ,eat and dash , are the bane of foreigners living in pattaya and phuket. I believe in karma and those eat and dash might have the unpaid ingested food in their stomach turning into something else. Never indulge in something that is not rightfully paid for. Karma is a bitch and it never forgets. My take
