    I like going into Pattaya a few times a week. I'd go crazy if I had to stay in Jomtien all the time. Ugh.

    If you don't drive or have a motorbike, then you are left with Bolt or the baht bus. I do a couple of trips into Pattaya every week and stock up at Central and Villa. Usually by baht bus but in this heat, I spring for a Bolt.

    Every soi in Bangkok needs shade trees, too.

    Have to ask my Brit friends about "throttler". That's a good one.

    You thought chicks writing checks was bad, this whole app payment nightmare is even worse.

    When I bought my condo 17 years ago, There was not a chinese, russian or indian in sight. This is the brave new world. I wouldn't buy anything in Thailand now without first living in the building for 6 months.

    One of the best things about being over 50 (if there are any benefits) is the retirement visa. Get it soon and get it in Thailand. So much better and easier than doing it in your home country.

    Big day in Jomtien is the 19th. Head for the hills!!

    "Leaping growth in the next 5 years". Maybe I'll be able to finally get my money back if I sell my condo then. What a joke. 17 years in and no increase in property values.

    They can't deport these A-holes fast enough.

    I went to Chulalangkorn Hospital in BKK for one in 2017 when I went to Brazil. No one asked to see it when I came back to Thailand.

    Which would you rather have as tourists in your country? Brits, Russians or Chinese?
  14. LALes
    I thought the Russians took over all the beaches in Spain. Is that true?

    Once this project gets going, look for the Kra Canal discussions to be revived for the umpteenth time. China's main goal is to circumvent US containment on the South China Sea. Phase One of the plan is the rail line. Phase Two is the canal that eliminates the need for traffic thru Singapore and a direct outlet to the Indian Ocean. They will never give up on this plan.

    This PM is the biggest carnival barker I've ever seen.

    Thailand knows who butters their bread. Preferential treatment for Russians. Westerners or Thais? You're on your own.

    Bracing for? You mean the crap they've been dealing with lately doesn't register? Unbelievable. Who writes this idiocy?
  19. LALes
    Could have something to do with a very, large nation to the north.

    Typical, smug, self righteous crap we've been hearing from Western women here in Thailand for 30+ years. If you don't like it, go home.

    Jimmy Dore. I love to watch him take down US politicians on both sides of the aisle.

    gotta be a suicide. Did he have his hands tied behind his back, too?

    Yeah, the survey is definitely for the Business Class traveller. For the rest of us swine, it sucks. Unless you like overpriced Burger King and Taco Bell, there's not much to choose from at the airport. Its all pretty much low end stuff at ridiculously high prices.

    I've been in Jomtien for 17 years. Trust me, its April 12-19. With the new PM promising bigger and better Songkran, who knows what will happen this year. Making my annual escape by April 8 and return on 22. Jomtien Beach Rd on the 19th is a perfect vision of hell on earth.

    Its OK, Somchai. Just a wai and a 1,000 baht fine and you'll be on your way. NOT!!
