  1. loads of nice parks to go sit eat lunch, play on pedlos, feed fish and kids can play on the playground rides. Check out Paradise park and lumpini

    Another great and not expensive day out - Dussit Zoo

    Trips to the beach are only 2 hours away, i suggest Jomtien or Sattahip a bit farther but cleaner.

    Nong nuch gardens down that way is worth a day out too

    Also a massive new waterpark down pattaya way

  2. well the Tiger artifacts could easily have been planted by the police - lets not forget that.

    however - https://www.facebook.com/NewOnNetflixUSA/posts/10153369770449751

    I think its important to not forget places like NONG NUCH Gardens too, which you can find drugged tigers sprawling around for 20 baht a shot photos... it seems there will now be an extra 150 tigers ready to be moved around all the local attractions soon.

    one of the problems with the Tiger temple was interbreeding, the head monk said in the documentary - if he heard the tigers getting frisky, he would open the cage and let a female in, afterall tigers have feelings too, just like humans do. hmmmm ok Einstein... so 3 tigers becomes 150 because you promote sexual behaviour with tigers... i can just see how it goes down with frisky monks too.,

  3. I think the PM is definitely reading THAIVISA - it seems the normal slap on the wrist that mostly happens was rebuked due to our constant whining. And its not the first time too.... I actually like this guy despite the BS democratic vote... he at least tries to do the right things... which in a World where everyone is as corrupt as can be, he has his work cut out for him. I mean how many PMs broadcast on live TV once a week and complain that THAI SOAPS are a load of garbage and are damaging society in their constant bickering and fighting over inheritances. Then after that he makes a point on telling the Thais what wholesome TV shows he likes to watch. LOL - aint happening anywhere else in the World mate...

  4. When i first moved here i used to scoff in discust too - then i grew up!
    Fact is ALL relationships are Give & Take - The guy benefits from a loving easy on the eye girl and she benefits in return from security and a future she can depend on.

    Now imagine your getting old and all you want to do is relive your youth? and perhaps not be stuck with some old battle axe or a miserable old girl with lots of baggage.

    In return the young 17 year old can be guaranteed assets, a future (probably not with him forever though) and is it so bad? he may be more patient, noble and more interesting than a 17 year old guy, he may even be more trustworthy.

    Ah you see... the mind of a Westerner is quite narrow when compared to Thais...
    Happiness prevails here... regardless of judgement - i have no problem with that anymore...

  5. all thai restaurants that have a SERVICE CHARGE plus 7% VAT i would avoid like the plague....
    Basically they are claiming they are a proper co ltd company so there is the 7% VAT

    But the 10% service charge????

    Basically they are demanding you tip their staff 10% extra - and then i guarantee they will have the cheek to bring the bill on a plate, expecting you to tip more...

    so if you are in the habit of paying 17% over the price quoted - then being expected to tip too... go for it... personally this is not the way i want to see thailand going and Farang business owners need to stop it... yes sunrise tacos you especially...

  6. its bad enough that the bigger airlines cant even maintain their aircraft with qualified aircraft engineers & technicians... Any light aircraft or private jets here you would be seriously dicing with death if you can trust that they did service the aircraft properly...RIP another sad case of Thailand not being able to apply laws or rules or have any insight as to what health and safety regulation and responsibilities are actually for... Mai pen Rai syndrome!

  7.  

    Just use 2 million of that 10 million and get a 20 year Thailand Elite Visa..

    And then you have 8 million that you don't have to gamble with in Thailand.

     

    With all due respect, I really hope that you are not a financial advisor.

    i tend to agree, why tie up 10 mil in a crappy 1.5 interest saver in Thailand just to stay here when 2 mil will get you 20 years here and the 8 mil can stay back home in lets say funds or safer investments that can generate higher interest.. Buy and rent property ect - that would easily pay off your 2 mil eventually... its easy to bring money in but each day gets harder to take it back home...

  8. Its not easy running Thai business and many will fail esp during the hard times - making it in Thailand is far harder than back home in my opinion. However you will always see loads of foreign business still thriving - the secret to these is they are the best or the only Niche in their demographic.. Food & drink is always difficult and over saturated, if you make a good idea it will be copied.... however if you offer a service that the Thais cannot copy due to lets say lack of skills... then you reign supreme.

  9. checked out the Sony Experias lately? also look very good.

    im also debating ditching apple - im just sick of the constant updates that dont offer any new usable features and seem purely designed to slow down the phones forcing you to want to buy a new on.
    Ofcourse they do work well, but its their terms,

  10. 2 Pied pipers that believe in the past, and a set of rules that were written about someone who did some good a long long time ago, but wasn't even written by that person or those so called persons!!. Just 3 hand accounts (bit like trusting the tabloids to write the bible) and thus since powers spiraled way out of control and into a huge power hungry, guilt riddled, corporation where fear, terrorism, wars and sectarian divisions in the world we know today - Us and them!

    Imagine a World without religion, and without these 2 fools in it...
    Imagine if there was no us and them, or our false prophets are better than yours?

    yeah... the biggest war has yet to come...
