  1. Are you making this story up or just winding us all?
  2. Depends on if they, the powers that be, in Thailand are having a ' crackdown ' on people blacklisted in India. Of course not!
  3. The clue was in the title, specifically referring to a British man.
  4. Newcastle, Obviously, last to get the Memo that it aint a great idea or a get rich quick scheme.
  5. Everyone knows what they should have done and went wrong after the event. Such Geniuses we have here on Asian Now..
  6. Frozen pension? Consider the Philippines, no frozen pension, with those moley faced women with whiney accents, and religious nutcases. Then stay here on your frozen pension.
  7. I wish mine was 500 baht a month. Move to a big house, you'll save a lot more!.🙄
  8. How much reduction for the bag of oranges left behind? Actually, if you look properly, the condo has been trashed, but look through the damage, and it's been kept relatively clean and in good condition. Looking at the floors and surfaces. I think this is a classic case of trying to pinch the deposit, hence the owner keeping schtum regards deposit.
  9. Nothing worse than terrible drivers who acrually think they are good drivers.
  10. In summary, Thais are thoughtless, lazy drivers by and large. Most also have never taken proper driving lessons, and even fewer know about road signs and awareness.
  11. I do find price gouging and cheating commonplace in Bangkok and resorts with high tourist traffic, but isn't that the same the world over in densely packed tourist resorts and capital cities?
  12. There is a wide variety of things to do in Isaarn, but you must be proactive and find them. They are unlike Pattaya and/or Phuket with giant billboards offering their wares for the tourist traps. What does Isaarn offer? Well, what a question. There are 19 provinces, each with its vibe and culture, from food to customs. It isn't a one-size-fits-all. No, it isn't a beachy area; it's the rice basket of Thailand. There are some outstanding resorts and hotels with beautiful grounds and swimming pools. Some people find it too laid-back, slow, and quiet, while others, like me, love and miss the place when we venture away from it and are always happy to return. Those looking for hands-free bars, Russian mafias, rude foreigners, steer clear, they aren't many up here and long may it continue.
  13. Mustafa drama! 35,000 baht for starters. In the famous words of Stuart Hall and Eddie Waring for UK fans of It's a Knockout, the popular TV show. Here comes the Belgians!!
  14. Here we go again. I knew as soon as I saw the headline, there would be the obligatory fundraiser.
