Currently in the north of Italy. I had a nice half bottle of Dolcetto d'Alba for 4 euros at the supermarket. Meanwhile Thailand is still scamming foreigners.

What a load of crap this article is. I've never seen any price reduction on wine or spirits. Just some different group of corporate kleptocrats dipping into the till. That government official who was whining about lost revenue better go around to some of his cronies to find out where the money went.

Really?? You tip 1,000 baht on a 300 baht ride? Or, is that a typo?

Condo rules enforcement is about as effective as police enforcement of noise laws in Thailand. Can't anybody do their job properly to avoid these scenarios?

This must be written by the same numnutz who cries the baht is "plummeting" when it hits 34 to the dollar.

The only thing that matters here is the prosecution of the people responsible for the building collapse. Safety codes MUST be enforced!

We didn't get enough of that DEI crap in the West so now we have to get it in Thailand??? Gimme a break.

He should get the "Vlad" treatment. Obnoxious, loser Vlad got 10 years in a Phillipine prison for similar asinine behavior. Google Vlad Phillipines court case to see the correct way to deal with thesr cretins.

You really want to get rid of the Yobbo tourists? Make it a 30 day booze ban. That will send them running off. Probably eliminate a bunch of AN posters, too. Or, set up a fenced in area with 24 hour guards-kinda like a prison exercise yard-where people can drink to their hearts content. Only thing is, you can't leave until you sober up.

Girls will be boys.

Haven't smoked any good hash in forty or fifty years. Maybe I need to go to kho pangan. I once smuggled an ounce of Lebanese red hash into the US. Bought it in Paris for $10 and mailed it back to L.A wrapped up in some dirty clothes. It made it through. The US was pretty dry in that summer of 69 due to Nixon's operation intercept policy. I was a pretty popular guy when that hash arrived right after I did.

They like anyone with money. The more, the merrier. Open the doors and let em all in. What could go wrong? Still too stupid to figure out that their idiotic visa policies are gonna do them in.

Forget the Chinese. If the Indians stop coming, Pattaya's in real trouble. These guys (and they are all single guys) are keeping the sex and massage business afloat. You ever see full baht busses pulling up to a soapie loaded with Indian guys?

Blah, Blah, Blah...wake me when the baht hits 37 or 38 to the dollar. Until then, it is too strong.
