"By American standards, it's not a lot of money. The low price of sex in Pattaya's red-light district is a draw for many sex tourists. It is often as low as eight US dollars.
Ummmm....$8.00usd REALLY!? I need to know where they went to come up with this amount???
With this published price tag, the author brings his readers in danger.I fear in the coming months, busloads of horny Huffington Post readers will arrive,in search for the 8 Dollar girls. But beware, the girls will not be happy, if you offer them a price as low as 240 Baht.That is an insult (“you think I am cheap like that”) and some girls will go sure violent.

eight dollars = 240 Baht?
often = regulary?
Where?
Sounds the author knows exactly the going prices.
Brilliant research

Wishes to your children and your wife the best of luck, when you drive drunk, in the wrong direction over red traffic lights.Dear oh dear, so many people here who want to live in the third world but expect first world behaviour.
Get a grip chaps, the driving is far worse in neigbouring Cambodia but we adapt to survive.I have driven tens of thousands of ks here on motos and in cars and have only hit one cow and run over one moto driver.
We learn to drive ultra defensively but we also drive much like khmers much of the time, when in rome and all that.I drink drive nearly every night, go the wrong way down one way streets, often dont bother to stop at red lights, do the thirty degree turn, ride with the wife and two kids on the moto with no helmets etc etc.Most barangs drive exactly as I do, no point in the holier than thou attitude in asia.
Our roads are terrible, there are slow moving contraptions and cows,dogs,pedestrians wandering everywhere but there is one golden rule- never drive at night outside the city.
I have driven a lot in thailand as well and the roads are fantastic compared to cambodia and the drivers much better, yes its true!
We live in cambodia because it is still edgy and dangerous and undeveloped, the road manners of khmers are a constant source of entertainment.There is probably one main difference when it all goes wrong though, it is not always our fault, witnesses are honest and the police pretty even handed.
Thai forums are stacked with people who would really seem to be much happier at home and who cant accept that these are alien people with alien ways, most barangs say vive la difference and just get on with it.

An improvement I saw at the Suvarnabhumi Airport. On the departure level, from the taxi
stand to the entrance building you must cross a four-lane road. Now they have there
traffic Controllers with red flashing lights trowels in hand. They try to give you a safe passage
at the zebra crossings (pedestrian crosswalks) to the departure building.
Previously the cars, taxis and buses have just gone overboard.
But even now it is not fool safe, because about 50% of drivers ignore the zebra crossing
and the traffic controllers, and do not stop!!! I've often wondered why they painting
pedestrian crosswalks on the roads, when the drivers never stops.
I think it must have to do with the lack of driving skills training!
In this particular case Thailand is very different to many other countries.
Friends and first time visitors I often give the advise:
As an pedestrian do not trust zebra crossings in Thailand!

Has nothing to do with the car, it is the driver behind. So if you drive with a (high speed) car always to the limit,
unsuited to the traffic situation, especially on these unsafe roads here, then the driver is mentally unfit to lead such a vehicle.
Hopefully, easy to understand.
Furthermore, the Thai roads are generally not made for high speed driving.
-
So we've all got to buy a tuk tuk in your view.tragic
RIP
What many owners of high-speed cars do not understand here, is that the carspeed also has to fit with the road, traffic and weather conditions.
These powerful cars are built for the German Autobahn and not for the village-ban-nok highways in Thailand.
I would say that there is no road in Thailand where you can safely drive over 120 km/h.
No guardrails, missing road markings, crazy U-turns where the overload Trucks have to turn with 30 km/h on the right speed lane, countless Holes in the roadways, Motobikes and even Cars driving on the wrong side against the traffic direction, whis drivers who ignore traffic lights and roads signs,Overtaking on the left, slower lane, ignorance of safety distances and braking distances, Bullock carts on the highway (with there on fishing lines attached CDs, as a reflections light system), unlit vehicles, Residents who dry their harvest on the highway track, unaware what a turn signal on the car is of, etc.
May 10 hours compulsory driving lessons would help to bring the death toll on Thailands Roads significant down..
Thailand: Drive safe = Drive slow!
How daft a suggestion.
Ha Ha not a tuk tuk, But to say it in your language:
You can not drive on this f.....ing roads here, high speed!

This is a legal scandal. A confessed murderer just pay money and can get out. The people who signed the discharge papers, have aided and abetted the escape. In other countries that is a crime. Grant bail for confessed murderer without an urgent reason. May there should be some fat brown envelopes have been passed under the table? A disgrace to the society.

It's a shame how the law is bent here.
How can confessed murderers and killers will be released on bail.
This murders will never appear for their court hearing, especially
if 10 years or more prisontime waiting for them.
Civilized countries kept such murderers in jail until the court trial.
Btw also the Happy New Year Koh Phangan Killer is out from prison and now on the run.
If he will appear for his trial, I do not believe it.
And i guess also the judges and prosecutors know it.
That is a shame and repugnant.

Have just heard that the gunman is at home and not in jail.

Save driving has something to do with predictive anticipation.
Like advance thinking. Finding for every traffic situation the best (safest) solution.
Unfortunately this is not Thai mentality. Very often I experience that many drivers think only of themselves,
and everything else they just do not care.
But there is also one good thing in Thailand traffic rules:
The red number plates for new vehicles.
So you have been warned!

What a load of <deleted>!!
Granted no harm in asking, but usually the response is fully booked or if there is availability may I see your credit card for purchasing the upgrade.
Key to an upgrade.....
1. Frequent Mileage Tier Status
2. Reward for being inconvenienced
3. Full Price Fare
The number of times I have been upgraded to business or first all 3 of these scenarios above played out.
100 % Agree
The staff normaly can do nothing, the computer system shows the staff who get a upgrade.
Got in the last 18 months 6 upgrads with Emirates due my Silver status.
Sometimes on check in, sometimes shortly before boarding.

I feel sorry for him.
He has not hurt anyone.
Just hurts him self.
May midlife crisis or a thai girl broke his heart, who knows?
I would hope that the Thai police would take more effort to catch the crazy stabbers and killers,
