British and American men arrested for real estate violations

What's wrong with you Farangs? Too lazy to bone a Thai citizen and buy your Thai real estate 💯% legally in their name? 😳 -

Awww, the Farang helping his wife put soup in a plastic bag or whatever at the [REDACTED] night market is so cute. 😂 -
Phuket police looking for tourist who abandoned Jeep at Kamala Beach

That's why I prefer to stay away from White Trash Beaches. Too many hillbillies driving on the beach. 👋 -

SiSePuede419 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
That looks like a toy car my toddler would play with. Obviously the driver is a Jenius. When you're going to the beach to sit in the hot sun? You drive there and back in the hot sun because you're too stupid to get a rental with a roof. Be on the lookout (BOLO) for dumb Farang who looks red like a beet. 😜 -
Yeah, instead of employing poor Thais from the North in Surat Thani (yes, my wife's parents went to Surat for work long ago) they now employ poor Burmese. Lovely people. I don't understand what's so toxic about their culture? You freaking out about the face powder 😅

Not true. The Nursery schools here are "top shelf". 👍 I'll bet a bag of Chinese Chromosome Donuts with the green sauce that you didn't go to such august institutions back in your home country? 😜

Biggest Metro Areas in Thailand...?
SiSePuede419 replied to SiSePuede419's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It's not "my" criteria. I didn't write the definition of metropolitan area. BTW, I did meet a Thai from Ayutthaya who now lives in BKK. Nothing much to say about Ayutthaya. It's more a suburb of Bangkok and a history site. -
Biggest Metro Areas in Thailand...?
SiSePuede419 replied to SiSePuede419's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
OK, I'm increasing the population of Hat Yai to 800K, which Goggle says is on the greater urban area. Yeah, never been there but heard Hat Yai resembles Bangkok but without the train system and so much traffic. Really? Seems like it would be even more humid than Bangkok and fewer people would walk...?!? ============================== Thailand Population (by metro area, per Google) ============================== Bangkok 14,626,225 Chiang Mai 1,229,000 Hat Yai. 800,000 Chiang Rai. 557,000 Khon Kaen. 509,000 Surat Thani. 503,000 Phuket. 455,000 Udon Thani. 430,000 Ubon Rat. 200,000 Nakhon Si T. 102,152 Koh Samui 70,000 Pai. 27,370 Koh Phagnan. 14,000 Koh Chang. 5,000 -
Biggest Metro Areas in Thailand...?
SiSePuede419 replied to SiSePuede419's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Significant cultural location. However that doesn't make it a metro. Is there really that much development there? Or is Ayutthaya it just a train ride away from the real city to the south, I'm sure you have been there before...? 🫡 Yeah, Ayutthaya has a Makro and a Central. Have you been there? Not all Centrals are created equal. The Central in Surat Thani is a bit rough, for example. The biggest feature there is an indoor taikwando gym for kids. Are the people in the South training to be fierce guerrilla fighters or something? At the free play area in Central Surat, a little girl grabbed my son by the hair and threw him down. You should have seen the surprised look on his face. 😲 -
Forget the population numbers. They're just numbers from Google. Assume they're all wrong. What I am interested in is... Did I miss any "important" cities (or urban metro areas--whatever you want to call them) in Thailand?🤔 Typical characteristics of metropolitan areas: A metropolitan area, or metro, is a large, developed region that contains a core city, infrastructure, and developed industries. Metropolitan areas are densely populated, urban, and culturally significant. They usually include a main city and a series of smaller satellite cities This is why Pattaya would be considered a "satellite city" or suburb of the Bangkok metro area included in that population total and not a separate city/metro area. ============================== Thailand Population (by metro area, per Google) ============================== Bangkok 14,626,225 Chiang Mai 1,229,000 Chiang Rai. 557,000 Khon Kaen. 509,000 Surat Thani. 503,000 Phuket. 455,000 Udon Thani. 430,000 Hat Yai. 404,044 Ubon Rat. 200,000 Nakhon Si T. 102,152 Koh Samui 70,000 Pai. 27,370 Koh Phagnan. 14,000 Koh Chang. 5,000

Strong winds in Phuket for the next three days
SiSePuede419 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Where are the dumb Farangs who claim they're too good to live in Northern Thailand? Beautiful weather here. Cool in the morning (NEVER happens in Phuket). Nice dry sunny weather. So sorry about your crappy weather. Enjoy! -
Fewer Japanese tourists have visited Thailand in a historic first

Can't imagine the Japanese think Thailand is "too weird" These are people with game shows that hit male contestants in the nutsack when they give a wrong answer. 😄
