  1. No one in their right mind would buy even if passed, lest they have the rug pulled from under them. Thailand is for Thais. Rent rent rent! ????
  2. Don’t worry, this new bit of junk will be on the shelf in no time!
  3. ^^ That’s a typo, they meant 45 minutes. ???? Guess hotels will start hoiking prices again. Here’s hoping Xi keeps his country locked down or Thailand will end up swamped again.
  4. I agree with this. As said, mostly worried about monied Chinese. Much choice land is already owned by those with Chinese blood, who hold hold hold with nary a chance for ordinary Thais grab a decent plot.
  5. Yep, I know that smiley feeling well. Been caught short many occasions—breakdowns etc—and usually get sorted out real quick. Amazing generosity of spirit.
  6. Maybe this experience will set him on the right track.
  7. They called the police? Would’ve been better off calling the A Team… if they could find them of course.
  8. ^^^ The woman that sold the genuine bag by the looks. Ladyboy said it was fake and blabbed about it (possibly online), slandering the woman.
  9. Speak Thai. Join a club—running, cycling etc. Highly touristic areas not the best.
  10. I’ve never had an issue when drawing down funds during the year underneath what is required on date of application/seasoning. That’s what it’s there for, to live on. In a way it could look suspicious when one doesn’t spend since it could point to acquiring funds through work—if one were sans permit. Jack: yep, you dropped a clanger there ????
  11. “Get tough RTP chief calls to ban Chinese drug taking tourists for life!” Any better?
  12. Oh aye, until one of those rabid soi dogs chews the leg off your kid.
  13. So what is and what isn’t true, then, pray tell? Have you got boots on the ground or are you one of these types that believes that anything and everything put out by main stream media is propaganda? That’s all the rage nowadays, isn’t it? So what if that madman was somehow provoked by the US by having former Soviet bloc states loving up to NATO; it doesn’t make what he’s doing in Ukraine justified by any stretch. The bloke is sick and unhinged and having this girl speak out in a country that also has a dubious leadership is pretty ballsy. Good on her!
  14. Yeah right! Can’t believe after all these years Thailand has not got its act together with producing different quality beers. It’s got the talent and knowhow of course but is continually trumped by the big brewers and corruption.
  15. Why 5? So no worries if 4 souped-up tuk tuks tear through the streets then! ????
  16. “Thai tourist police explain their role as the country commits to the protection and welfare of tourists” ????????
  17. Same here. If one wants to wear, up to them, but don't f'ing tell me I'm in the wrong when the law does not require it. People like that get right up my shaft!
  18. Yet more embarrassment for RTP Unsurprising. If one were to dig a bit one would likely encounter a disproportionate number of skeletons in closets. I mean, look how they get the job for starters. The entire force needs a big shake up.
  19. I know Thais like their masks but the bikes too! Whatever next, traffic lights wearing masks? ????
  20. What a load of old twaddle! ???? She’s only just come in and yet she threatens the world? ???? Labourite, much? Leave the politics out if it chum. This is Thailand and I, for one, agree with TAT on this one. Have a month off from the grind and enjoy life!
  21. Yes indeedy. Though of course the recent vote was not indicative of Thailand; merely a few old suits talking shop and looking after their own end!
  22. Any chance you could follow your own advice and stop making this forum so bitter? Plenty of innocent foreigners have been wronged by Thais. The French aren’t my favourites and ending up in ICU is excessive, but this case is clearly iffy. If the Thai guy attacked the farang, he’s only got himself to blame.
  23. Which is it? Having second thoughts are you, Botox boy? Not surprised, that ridiculous head of yours is one heck of a target now!
  24. Are you sure about that, Neeranam, because according to others here it was never a thing anywhere in the land? ????
