They probably should’ve come up with these regs before legalisation. Then again, more money to be made I guess after it’s all been set up.

Sure, Thais were fighting in Vietnam (Brits were there too, notably the sas), but that is not country level Thailand. Any sort of spat in the South China Sea, they will, very deftly, not be involved.

Dunno about the 15k, but perhaps have a trawl through the MoL site... MoLabour

I see the same when out of town. Those farang in Bangkok think all Thais everywhere are naturally conforming when out of house. Wrong. They do what they have to do, to be seen to conform, but when the spotlight is off, they are as wanting of freedom as most normal people.

It always will be, forever! Only sure way to avoid it is to reside on the astral plane, to which we are all headed anyway. I'm with you Mike. On a plane, for sure, in 7-11, yes (if only to 'fit in'), but outdoors on the beach etc? C'mon guys, your life is slipping by. Why not stay in doors and wrap yourselves in cottonwool?

How much do you know about this story? Find it odd that folk here are quick to admonish while overlooking the obvious corruption that goes on behind the scenes.

Incidentally, did anyone find a decent source of Blue Dream?

Topic could do with a TL;DR. Posit the showing of gratitude in sugar daddy type relationships (not that yours were) might construe major loss of face. They already know they’re ‘kept’; why make it worse? ???? Have you tried dating to your age range, educational/financial level, social background? How’s your Thai?

So you’re saying you prefer men with SHORT hair, lipstick and fake tits? ????

Well you don’t know, do you. It was ‘alleged’. How would you like it if strangers implied you were guilty and should pay millions if an illegally ridden motorbike ran into you?

Guys, this is how they roll. When he says that, he doesn’t mean that. It’s the face saving way of saying he wants as many foreigners as possible to come here and have a toke. Folk that have been here a long time would get this.

Back home maybe, but 5% in the tropics is about right if you're drinking en masse. Don't forget, Chang used to be 7%(ish). It's about time they furnished us with more choice, albeit still Leo! Tried the Galaxy version; very different, quite tangy, though couldn't do more than one. Hanker for the day some real local beers are allowed to be brewed here, and at realistic price. Beer Lao is all over Thai beers. The Thais are clever and could make some good stuff... unfortunately tough gig to get into and they are scuppered by the clout of the 'big three'.

I hear they give a good massage... strong hands n all that.

Only answer contacts.

Sorta like this?:

Not surprised, being based in the region with headquarters in Bangkok. It can of course say what it wants and is based on searches and bookings. European destinations are heaving. Many of these visitors go through travel agencies and/or book direct. More people in Asia tend to use Agoda than elsewhere. I’d take what they say with a grain on salt.

The captain is to receive similar punishment—obviously not deportation—as per previous article. Just not being paraded for obvious reasons.

Khao Soi touted as Thailand’s soft power Wonder if it could be used to pacify Putin!

You’ll get nowhere arguing logic with this one I’m afraid. Of course if it happened to them I’m sure they’d be just fine with it all, NOT. After all the hassle and anguish she’s been dealt at the hand of an incompetent dealer looking to save money and face, she deserves a new vehicle. Let’s hope her pursuing this sees them lose. It is all quite banana republic.

I often feel the same about baby boomers. ????

Correct. There will always be solo travelers, but European families, middle class Thais and other monied folk drinking 300+ baht pints of Guinness also hang there. It’s the out of touch view that thinks the former.

Robblok will be along in a minute to blame it on the Brits. Standby… ????

Put on ignore

lol. Maybe wrong but it’s all on the Thai captain. If a Thai were standing there with couple fish it wouldn’t be a thing. Perhaps wind neck in a bit.

Great. Even if it were true. Just the prospect of it…. people peeing and hacking & spitting in the streets again. ???? Yuck.
