How tragic and depraved. Soi dogs get better chances. Shame shame shame! 

Sincere heart-felt condolences to family members and friends of the victim for their tragic and profoundly sad loss . 

I cannot understand this. 5 days to open a company... Can do it online in many countries and have finalised in under 24 hours and under us$200

12% growth from China... Are these like so many that book and pay for their tour in China to Chinese, come and stay in Chinese-owned accommodation; Travel with Chinese Tour operators and spend 2/5 of <deleted>-all with local Thai people?

Perfect! 

Great! If you live in Pattaya / Jomtien or visit, let's put a drink on it

Just for fun... I predict in excess of  18,000 by mid Feb 2018.

And, the old saying, "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen." springs to mind.

As I said earlier, only invest what you can afford to lose. 

Yes I understand your point of view. And I believe it's valid. Of course many a decision made with the best of research end up being a loss. When it comes to stocks, shares, Bitcoin, derivatives etc, these are all a calculated risk at best. Marriage and many other big life decisions can be similarly! In these financially related instances, and I was for some years an experienced professional trader,  I never play with more than I'm prepared to lose. 

No confrontation felt. Some people are comfortable dealing with the past (the known). This is how they determine their view of the future (the unknown) and how they make their decisions. Others are more comfortable dealing with the future and this is how they determine their decisions. This latter practice does not rely solely on the usual data. It's also the primary basis for my statement. Each to his own. Wish I could be more helpful or even scientific. 

Bitcoin will hit 100k before the bubble bursts, if it ever does. 

Hilton does EVERYTHING xmas-food-wise. Last year it was about 3,ooo but considering how patronised they were, worth it to many. Includes a complimentary bubbly by or two if you can sweet talk the waitress

The bottle helps the enjoyment but yes, KAH tastes and smells much better. And, considering the price difference, represents amazing value for money 

Ha ha.. Because I bought it at Foodland, or because I went back for more? BTW, there's no such thing as "too much tequila!" 

I bought it at Foodland in Jomtien. Went back the other day to buy another but there were no more. Not sure when they might have it again. They did have Milagro Silver, Reposado and, Anejo 

Nice!

Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia is probably the nicest I have ever tried. I was in a great Tequilla Bar in Mexico city and asked the Owner to line up what he considered to be, six shots of his best Tequilla. After 'Blind-tasting' them all, I chose the Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia. Haven't been able to find it in Pattaya as yet.

My favourite accessible Tequila is probably KAH.

I mainly like aged (reposado, anejo,, extra anejo) Agave for sipping and blanco for mixers. Most places carry the bottom of the barrel brands/labels, labels that are not 100% blue agave, or stuff that should not be labeled as Tequila.  Patron is ok if you can not find a different (better) Tequila. Why do I say this? Too many people fell for Patron's marketing campaign because they flooded the clubs and other places with their prduct. There are quite a few Tequilas that taste better than Patron yet costs 50~75% less. 

 

If you want to enjoy your agave, check for "made from 100% Blue Agave" on the label and the CRT number that indicates that it is a certified Tequila. Better Tequilas are always 100% Blue agave. Only 51% Blue Agave plus other sugars is required to be certified as Tequila but the harvested Blue Agave plant can only be from the Tequila producing region of Mexico. Everything else made with Agave s Mezcal. Tequila is a Mezcal but Mezcal is not a Tequila.   

 

Here is a pic of GOOD Tequila:

Don Julio Anejo, KAH, Casa Noble, El Charro, Tres Generaciones, Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia, Herradura Suprema, Don Julio Real, Don Julio 1942, Aha Toro Extra Anejo, EL Tesoro Paramisimo, Porfidio Extra Anejo, Frida Kahlo Anejo........

Very Nice collection. I applaud your tastes and insights. And, I thank you for sharing. Personally, I find the KAH Silver to have the best bouquet of any Silver and, I have tried dozens. I also feel that, if you want to taste the Agave fruit rather than the oak tannins-tequilla-BLEND, then the Silver alone, affords that opportunity whereas, the Anejo and, even Reposado are a different drink, due to the blending of essences. 

That's not to say that I don't love them, but just that I am promoting the virtues of the Silver that may not have occurred to you. 

Once again. Thank you. 

I guess we will soon learn that the aggressors were not really Thais but from Myanmar!

Presumably they pay by credit card.

Maybe COD?

Good on those people that follow their dreams without hurting others and screw the classless ones whose evolution doesn't stretch beyond what they see!

follow their dreams without hurting others

Is that a line you picked up from the lady boys on Pattaya's Beach Road?

No. But thanks for asking. You can feel free to go back to looking for other people to blag onto with your offensive views now.

Human beings are very creative and adaptable. It CAN work if you're lucky enough to be a decent person with a decent person. It WILL have hiccups.

You may be right... I just "hope" he can make a big win out of the insanity. For all his "bluster", he makes some good sense to me. Somebody needs to take down the "Elite" "Insiders" or the US will go the way of the Roman and every other fallen empire

As others have said or implied, it's an idiot woman trying to scam money for no justified reason.

She's lucky a secret service guy didn't grip her arm!

These bloodsucking leeches should be made an example of...

I hope Trump gets a million miles of positive press from it... I'm sure he will!

I'm surprised this hasn't been going on so much more. I've seen plenty of ATM's topped-up and no armed guards in sight.
