  1. Strong enforcement with hefty penalties makes wonders even in Thailand, just look at the quantity of section 112 violations annually as extreme reference. Even with 2000 baht fine with enforcement would change the scene fairly quickly.
  2. " were acting as Thais" Acting as Thai? - I understood she is Thai, no need to act.
  3. Danilo probably ventured into wanchai bars and met his country ladies who do not expect him to report when he goes to poo, rather teached him something more enjoyable that his mother never told him about. Danilo is pissed to mama for not teaching him all that years ago, he missing all the fun. Rest is history.
  4. Goverment and TAT certainly disagree. Bangkok and Thailand shall not be any list for backpackers, rather for big spending ones if you ask them!
  5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_K_engine#K12B Suzuki K engine is used in Ciaz and Swift and is indeed a chain engine, thus the reaction in shop if you try to convince them to chain the belt. I guess practically lasts for life in regular oil changes done properly.
  6. I also wondered the efforts many land owners are willing to take to avoid minor tax. Matter of principle I guess, at any cost!
  7. Oh...not nasty at all in my experience...
  8. How about a fully sponsored gf or wife of a farang living & working outside of Thailand who goes with other guys on the side when she feels like (when he not here)? Does that qualify as "sideline"?
  9. Tourist that had damaged thai tourism, not the operator that puts tourists life at danger TIT
  10. I have good experiences over the years, made insoles for my shoes to get rid of foot pains. Dutch guy who seems to know his stuff.
  11. Surprised a Somchai did not require a ransom for his valuable piece.
  12. all makes sense. do you recall anything mentioned about the purchase price per unit for these cars? Likely about double the RRP of BMW Thailand that has been booked to govt expenses for these...
  13. almost everything went according to plan. 10% still found lingering in national assets was seen as only minor discrepancy vs the plan, thus not seen as further action as more important things to focus on. If 20%, maybe some action would have been taken...
  14. waste of money for someone is a free valuable benefit for someone else...probably most repainted and in personal use of RTP officers
  15. Well, still makes many of them feel the same as we would feel breathing in Canadian wilderness! Fresh air tours to Thailand it is still so bad is the air in those places. Top it up with the ever present body odours
  16. Misleading headline. Should say Brainless driver drove his car off the 2nd floor of parking building
  17. This guy is good and affordable. First Optic Pattaya 083 606 0599 https://maps.app.goo.gl/iKSemkHaneAJjf6m7
  18. And wait a year, as next new excuse to deny their fault, they start saying passengers were too quiet maybe even sleeping, making driver to fall a sleep as so silent
  19. Looking forward to see cash stripped Russians and other begpackers to go to clubs to order "free" water and acting to get slapped.

    Ear Wax

    My ears have a habit to form this yellowish wax too that needs cleaning every few weeks, as well as easily to get infected from swimming pools. Easy and cheap solution to both is to use the red rubber syringe and flush ears with the blue 70% alcohol, an top up with ear drops after flushing for a day or two. Few years ago I got an ear infection when at home country for xmas. Felt bad enough to make me go to doctor on xmas day expecting to get some antibiotics - the ear doctor refused to prescribe any, and told most minor ear infections (like he assessed mine to be even though painful) are easily cured by good flushing with alcohol and use of ear drops after that. Worked then, and has worked since every time for me.
  21. Will be Macau style casino, with top tier adult services available under same roof to extract as much of the cash you just won - or provide comfort if you lost. Not for Cheap Charlies though.
  22. Different sides of the same coin... Any idea who/how manages the pricing of bolt to keep demand and supply somehow in balance? The rates for car rides are ridiculously cheap, wonder if supply would improve if rates increased reasonably. I would think 50% increase to price level these days had little impact to demand.
  23. Holiday Inn (North Pattaya) used to have breakfast for 300 if their club member, 350 without, but not sure if still have. Sure not as nice spread as 5-star hotels, but if decent food in unlimited quantity is what you after, might be worth checking
