  1. Speaking of enjoying your low season while you can, 120,000 Chinese expected to descend on our shores on Monday, the first day of visa exempt. Batten down the hatches@
  2. Ignorant Chinese tourists? Declining Chinese economy? Overblown movie hysteria? Whatever the reason, I, for one, am glad to have a low season again. Better enjoy it while you can. High season will be upon us in no time-Chinese or no Chinese.
  3. At 74, i don't really want to pack up and leave Thailand, but if they start taxing falangs on Retirement Visas just bringing savings in from a Western bank, that would suck big time. Still needs to be clarification on this point.
  4. Dollar hit 38 last October. I'd like to see that again this October. First, we have to hit 37. Baby steps. i bought 80,000 baht at 38 last year. Should have bought 280,000.
  5. He must have done some good work in the "Boss" case. When you're cited, it usually means you are singled out for commendation. Where's his citation for aiding and abetting?
  6. Another great innovation brought to you by Crimestoppers, Inc. Let's face it, if there weren't so many assaults, thefts and fights in the darkened recesses of Beach Rd, there wouldn't be any need for the floodlights.
  7. Taking a cue from Thaksin. He must not be rich, tho. He was probably going to Lo-So prison.
  8. Headline should read, One ethnic, Chinese foreigner lauds new visa.
  9. If this creep is guilty of what they say, I doubt he even has a collared shirt to wear to immigration.
  10. We had a Viet driver.
  11. The road from Danang to Hue over Hai Van Pass is spectacular. Best way to do it is to drive. Don't get into the tunnel that goes thru the mountain. Take the old pass road if you can. I did it in an old Russian Lada back in 1993, before the tunnel was built to accomodate heavy trucks and busses. I'm not sure what the rules are about cars now.
  12. Time for China to ramp up the pressure for the Kra Canal. Its been on the drawing board for about a decade and they must be getting antsy by now.
  13. Make sure its a reputable seller with lots of reviews. I got scammed last year on a Lazada phone purchase. Lost 10,000 baht. Lazada will NOT back you up if you get scammed on their website unless it says Laz Mall Shop.
  14. Hey, Don't forget to patrol in Jomtien too. The boom box car jagoffs have been making a comeback this week, usually after 3 am.
  15. Drinking session and sketches of Hitler. Yeah, that's gonna produce an uplifting outcome.
  16. The late, lamented Ronnie's NY Pizza on Soi Nana was great. Covid killed it. If you want a slice of real NY Pizza, go to SOHO on Soi 11, up near the top of the soi. Maybe even better than Ronnie's was. It's not cheap-120 baht for a slice of cheese-but its really good. Pala is OK, if you like the thick, bready, square slice.
  17. "Tirelessly" looking to put a new condo or office tower on every unused parcel of land.
  18. Like getting a Seal of Approval from Monsanto.
  19. Was it the Barzini family that attempted a hit on don corleone in the hospital? MIchael better move His father into the stairwell.
  20. He'll be walking across the border at Aranyaphatet with all the other falangs doing visa runs.

    Where is the rain!

    Nothing in Pattaya for about a month. Hot as sh#t too.
  22. Sounds like a great big hassle. I still think he should just swim across the Mekong in the dead of night and report to immigration the next day.
  23. Just like the Democrat Party in the US trying every trick in the book to deny RFK Jr access to to the process.
  24. Have yet to have a good dog in Pattaya or BKK. Dieing for a Costco dog. Too bad the only American dog available is Oscar Meyer. Not even a top 10 candidate back home. Hein, from Germany has an ok Krakauer (Polish) dog at Villa somtimes but very expensive at 400 baht for 4. Tops Club, a Costco knockoff in outer BKK, does not have Kirkland (Costco) dogs.
