The night market existed looong betore bars. It was a way for the family who owned patpong 5o keep the streets private and in their name as the govt was considering rezoning it. Market first opened in the 1940's so not really sure what ya talking about.

Rubbish.

More like 35 years since the first stalls set up. He's right and he's going back to the good old days when fun flowed across the road and back again, in waves.   

Thank you.

A lot of these countries I would not like to retire in. Thailand and Taiwan are my first choice. But with China ready to expand it's borders I think I will just stay in Thailand.

I agree. Of all the countries where I have lived and worked Thailand, where I have lived in retirement since 1993 having first visited in 1960, and Taiwan would be my 2 top choices.

Many of the jobs in the entertaiment sector require at least some knowledge of English, although most of the gogo dancers get by on looks and/or other skills.

Yes he meant rabies, do you feel a lot better now pointing out what was probably a typo. 

Much better. Thank you for your concern. Much appreciated.

Possibly spending it on publicity telling people how good they think they are. Dogs are out of control in Thailand and these people getting them sterilized is a pointless exercise helping nobody as a sterile dog can still maim children and spread rabis.

Do you mean rabies ?

Be ashamed.

Romania is leader in security technology, much of it based on the systems developed under the  Ceausescu regime.

I'm not sure I believe a word of this. I suspect it is a fabricated story.

Beats me why anyone would want to do that.

The three imperatives for most people are food, shelter and sex. Thailand has all three in abundance at low cost, I'm staying put.

Well said.

The fun atmosphere on Patpong was killed by the introduction of the night market. IMO Nana Plaza has been the go to place ever since. Good to hear the action is picking up there.

As predicted, the fix is in. He will likely do little, if any, jail time. There will probably be images on TV of him entering prison by the front door, but none of him immediately thereafter exiting through the back door.

A disgraceful article. Anyone backing China's entirely false claim on Taiwan should be utterly ashamed of themselves. Taiwan deserves our respect, not drivel from a grovelling, ill-informed so-called journalist.

China's claim that Taiwan is their territory is rubbish, but no doubt the Thais obtain more benefit from their relationship with Beijing than with Taipei so they will back the so-called One China policy.

Shameful case, however the rich are generally treated better than the poor in most countries.

Very well done for trying  to help. I guess the most important question to ask her is whether not she has, or can obtain, her Thai birth certificate. 

Best of luck.

Very sad. You never had a chance little one. Rest in peace.

We have ten dogs at our place in Rayong. They are not gentle with strangers.
