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. -

LALes replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
No sympathy at all for Thailand. They've been gouging everybody on Western imports for decades and now the tables have been turned. Hey Thailand, how do you like dem apples? -

Gotta make sure the competition is squelched out before the "official gubbermin" launch. -
Man Killed in Factory Shooting Over Unpaid Debt
LALes replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
Dead guy probably had no intention of ever repaying the loan. He figured he would bully his way out of it, if need be. Pretty good strategy, huh? The old Shakespeare line, Neither a borrower or lender be! -
90 day report online rejected again
LALes replied to DaRoadrunner's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Same thing happened to me. I got rejected for my first try after re-entering Thailand. Had to go in person. Odd thing is that it used to work no problem for first time back in. Are they tightening up? -

Myanmar Junta appealing for help after the earthquake. How about coughing up a fugitive as a show of good faith? -

I read the headline too fast. I thought it said they were grifting. Makes more sense with these guys. -
Thai-Chinese High-Speed Rail Project Faces 350-Day Delay

I read it too fast. I thought it said a 365 year delay! Probably more accurate. -
Thai Police Arrest Nigerian Duo Linked to Cocaine Smuggling
LALes replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
The pittance that the police make from these rodents to ply their trade is hardly worth the irreperable damage they are doing to the image of Thailand for tourists. No one wants to see their streets or neighborhood overrun by these slimeballs, yet there they are. Typical Thai short sightedness. Make a few baht today with no thought about the future consequences. -

Soi 11 has been blissfully free of these rodents for the last few weeks. -
Controversy Erupts as Thailand Claims Uyghurs Chose Deportation
LALes replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The Chinese started the whole thing 40 years ago when they force fed a couple of million ethnic Han Chinese into the Uighur homeland of Xingiang, effectively making the Uighurs a minority in their own country. Uighurs are Turkic people who have inhabited the Western steppes for centuries before the Chinese occupation. Get your facts straight. -
Fed-Up Bangkok Locals Demand Action on Rowdy Foreign Renters
LALes replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
My condo in Jomtien was the epicenter for low class yahoos of every stripe on a short term rental until the crackdown a few years ago. Its a lot better now, but some jerks still manage to get in occasionally, especially in high season. -

You want heat? Either way, I never expect a cooldown until mid June. -
Soi 6, Legs For Days, and a Chiropractor: A Cautionary Tale
LALes replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Whoever it is, I like the writing style; he's got some witty metaphors and, as Spock said in Star Trek 4, some coloful adjectives. -

Does the Pattaya bus go to Jomtien? -
Bored of Bangkok... Any advice to an alternative place to live?
LALes replied to kingofallasians's topic in Bangkok
Jomtien blows. Take it from someone who has lived there for 17 years. Boring, bar infested nothing. Beach water ain't clean, either. No mall, one supermarket. Most things you need you have to go in to pattaya for. If you don't drive, that means public transportation. That means hot sweaty overcrowded.Baht busses that take thirty to forty five minutes to get into pattaya. I try and spend as much time as possible away from there.
