  1. Well it will increase the envelope rate for a week at least. Can’t say much else will be done. A week, Really.
  2. If they know this is happening then they need to start protecting their lands and culture immediately and not just study it. Haven’t we learned from history what will happen.
  3. They should stay in BKK where they fit in with many others. Pattaya isn’t really known for the Nigerian, or Jamaican men so much easier to identify and keep an eye on them. I do see more and more coconut ladies who are from these areas. Guess if they can’t make it in BKK they head to Pattaya.
  4. Most male hosts in the small bars cater mainly for local women. Sure there’s a few that swing both ways but those are usually the ones in the gay areas geared towards tourists. IMO
  5. Time to go back to 30 day max tourist visa.
  6. I could possibly understand a jab depending on what was presented, but I have never heard of pouring hot water on anyone, especially a 3 year old child. Thank Goodness Grandpa stopped the 3rd attempt. Bad enough experience, but to send him home afterwards was definitely unacceptable.
  7. Seems like Thailand’s new reports are getting much worse, although I’m sure there will be another story soon about how Thailand is one of the top destinations for something.
  8. While I find what Hamas did as terrible, it doesn’t come close to that nut job from Israel. He wants total destruction and a takeover. Karma is a bi tch and they will both receive what they deserve.
  9. Sounds like you cancel and return many things, and are expecting quality products for peanuts. You are on the wrong site. Best go directly to the store for any big purchases. I use my QR code without any problems. I know it’s also an age thing because I have to order some things for my partner. To afraid of getting their info taken and at that age I can see why, but I get notifications from the bank on every purchase and they called me once to ask if I used it on Facebook, which I did not, so they cancelled it. To each their own, but if you are concerned about the quality and looking to spend a bit, go to a reputable local store. Lazada is great for many things but you still need to do some research. I have sent back probably 3-4 things over the past few years. Probably could have sent more back, but if it’s cheap and pretty much my fault, I just give it away or in the bin it goes. Definitely not worth the headache.
  10. Look. If you’ve been here for 15 to 25 years then you should be able to speak a bit of Thai. Just trying goes a long way. Unfortunately many Thais get a Bachelor degree, but can’t speak English and instead of losing face they will avoid you.
  11. Guess they watched Lupin and thought they could do it like they did for a tv show. I’m sure there is more to the story, glad the two were caught.
  12. And they wonder why tourism is down. They just flip flop so often on everything that you have no idea what you can and can’t do here , day to day. So much for the Land of Smiles. Now it is the Land of crazy ever changing rules and laws.
  13. I’m glad that they “may” consider patrolling the areas more. What a joke.
  14. Let’s be real. The Baht is too strong and Thailand isn’t The Land of Smiles anymore. Too many cheaper options that really make people feel happy and wanted, like Thailand used to be.
  15. I have loaned money to both foreigners and Thais that I know well. I always do a contract and copy of I’d and never had an issue. However, I would not loan any money to anyone that I didn’t know well. Common sense. I also don’t loan more than I can afford to lose to even my closest friends. If they need more than they can ask someone else.
  16. So much for being deported and apparently not black listed. Came right back to do it again. Thai immigration really needs to get there 💩 together.
  17. Once again brought to the attention of the PM and stopped there after a few words reassuring that this would be handled. If only their words actually came to action, I believe that many things would be resolved, but we know how it goes here. All talk and no action.
  18. They must mean local and foreign visitors, otherwise they will never achieve their goals. Why do they have to keep predicting every day or week and just state the facts at the end of the year. Up or down compared to last year. They are spending far too much on these festivities and not nearly enough on the infrastructure. Plus a reasonable exchange rate would increase international travelers here instead of the neighboring countries.
  19. Unfortunately this is typical here with many things. Wait until they have a problem then fix it. If they already approved it for maintenance why didn’t they speak up to get the job done. Always a step or 2 behind.
  20. You can also try Thai Living on Threppasit next to Atlantis. I’ve used them several times. Great law firm and notary.
  21. They should really just devalue the baht a bit and save all this nonsense and make it a bit cheaper like it used to be. More bang for the buck will reach further than the bs the influencers will be spreading.
  22. Hope they lock him up for good and he gets what he deserves. Sickening. Temples need more strict monitoring.
  23. I suggest they put some more pressure to move Bangkok into safer areas.
  24. Well, if they hadn’t booked far in advance then of course they are going to go where their money goes further and they are welcome. The good old days are gone. Feel sorry for the businesses, but Thailand has done this to themselves.
