Report Tax-Free Wine Boom in Thailand Spurs Costs and Controversy
LALes replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
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. -
Report Tax-Free Wine Boom in Thailand Spurs Costs and Controversy
LALes replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
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. -

Community Condo Resident Releases Snake to Protest Against Dog Owner

Report MRT Music Mayhem: Foreign Influencer Blasted by Fed-Up Commuters
LALes replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
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.

Crime Russian Tourist Busted for Smuggling Hashish into Thailand
LALes replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
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. -

Travel Pattaya Faces Mixed Reactions Amid Decline in Chinese Tourists
LALes replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
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? -

Weak Baht Fails to Spark Tourism Boom, Safety Concerns Prevail
LALes replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Baht is still way too strong. Chinese aren't coming so, if you want Westerners, better get it back to 36-38 to the dollar and similar for the Pound and Euro. -
