  1. On the same day as I read a report saying "the UK government has confirmed that effective immediately Colombian nationals will need a visa to visit the UK"
  2. According to my old mate a large camel-toe is a 'moose-knuckle' 😁
  3. He's probably done every drug known to man. I think his first drug exploits were at Venice Beach Cal in the late 60's. Probably knows more about illicit drugs than anyone I've ever met. He knows who the movers & shakers are there. He's lived in Goa for about 15 years, and used to frequently visit Thailand, during the monsoon season.
  4. According to an old Brit friend whose lived there for many years the Israelis really like Goa, and some of them are heavily involved in the illicit drugs trade there.
  5. I wasn't 'bashing' Thailand or Bangkok, it's just that with airlines it's about cold-hard-cash, and 'bums on seats'.
  6. It will be tough trying to lure airlines away from long-established hubs at Singapore and HK. Also, some years ago B A & QANTAS dropped Bangkok from it's 'Kangaroo' routes between Oz & Europe?
  7. I had some colleagues who had worked in Nigeria and they seemed to either love it or hate it. I worked next door in Cameroon for a while.
  8. When the Boys in Brown hear about a Nigerian crim they don't tend to go out looking for caucasians with little winkies!😁
  9. Many years ago a Nigerian diplomat stated that there were around 1,000 Nigerians in Thai prisons.
  10. If a dumb Brit did that every day of the year it would still only be 365 out of 500,000 people.
  11. Probably around half a million came this year, and never caused any problems, or got into any trouble.
  12. Maybe Daniel was working, or doing business, on a tourist visa?
  13. I often suspect that this is something that these guys previously did in their home countries.
  14. Even if there's only 50k there, one or 2 a week or whatever cause problems and you tar them all with the same brush? We used to send our riff raff to America, then we started sending them to Oz cos it's much further away!😊
  15. A few Brits make fools of themselves abroad, and all 67 million of us are supposed to be embarrassed?🤔
  16. Pattaya tends to attract such people?
  17. "Authorities have urged the public to avoid confrontational behaviour and to settle disputes peacefully..." Always a good idea to take heed of this very sound advice in Thailand!

    Cheese

    Is there a Villa Market there? Villa had the best cheese selection that I had seen in Bangkok.
  19. I have 3 friends, long term residents of Thailand, who moved to Cambodia around 6 years ago, mainly due to lower costs there. I was first in Thailand in 1985 and it then seemed 'comparitively' much cheaper then than it is today. Back then Happy Hour in Soi Cowboy was 25 Baht a drink, and an 'all-inclusive' night out cost 1,000-1,500 Baht.
  20. Such things added to the rich, exotic, Thailand experience!😊
  21. Many years ago an old Irish friend told how he was walking down Sukhumvit Soi 5 one day and a big african guy walked up to him and said "Hello darling"! Soooo funny!!😆
  22. Many years ago I was playing Pool at the New Wave Bar in Sukhumvit Soi 7, BKK. A young (African) black guy and who he said was his sister were also playing Pool, I suspected that he was pimping her, and that she wasn't really his sister.
  23. But that would potentially greatly reduce tourist arrrivals into Thailand (AKA money).
  24. If the Devil were to cast his net in Thailand...
