Is this Thai-style "double parking" ?

I would think determining BEST beaches would be a subjective process. Any other method would be like separating grains of sand. What seems best to Tom may not be best to Dick or Harry.

That's a bit rich coming from him.

The video of the incident didn't make it to my feed.

It seems like lots of bad stuff comes out of Wuhan.

Fair to say, "he was wired" after his BIG win.

Pattaya ..... The Family-friendly Resort.

Only a few posts in and I think you have nailed it already.

Like a former leader in another country liked to say, "we'll see, we'll see how it goes".

Nice bit of badly needed, free advertising. I hope those who have TIME aren't disappointed.

They also abandon their natural hunting ability if human fed. They then return to the human source of "low hanging fruit"

It's early in this article but I expect soon to see comments referencing Darwin awards (Darwin, name of the 1-year old).

Every journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. They've got many steps to go before returning to the Chinese-portion of the 40 million annual visitors.

I've never heard of a gratuitous tip being misconstrued as illegal. I left a tip for her time and company, NOT my room number.

I had a used MGB back in the sixties (Canada). The electrical system sure didn't like the rain! But that old MGB gave me the sports car bug. Next came a brand new Datsun (now Nissan) 280Z in 1976. Now there was a sports car, rain or shine (or snow).

I once arrived late in Surat Thani City and not knowing in my early Thailand days, what an in/out accommodation was all about, I booked a room at one. The room was great, clean, everything worked, hmm, there was a packaged condom on the bed. I was intrigued by the view across the way. Couldn't figure out why each room had curtains in front of the guest car-park area, LOL, like I said, I was naive. I went to the attached karaoke bar for a beer, saw the hostess make eye contact with a pretty young gal who slinked over and sat tightly beside me. She had to be all of 17. My naivety soon passed, I got the picture. I drank my beer, and just to be safe, left some money on the table and indicated it was for her. Then I quietly made my escape, alone!

"Small start" but still good.

Scum ..... masquerading as police. Should be totally booted out of business.

He sounds like he could kill a bowl of cereal pretty quick. The breakfast of champions type of guy.

A 17-year old (Thai girl) does not possess that level of rationale, unfortunately.

Very materialistic.

I guess I'm a Cheap Charlie (Canadian). I never spent anywhere near that amount. Yet I never lacked for anything either. My gf of the time was very frugal and didn't spend my baht unnecessarily and she knew all the right places to shop or dine. Perhaps the fact that neither one of us consumed alcohol helped stretch the budget.

It seems like these You Tubers, Tik Tokers and influencers are dropping like flies, everywhere, all around the world.

A two-timer and even going public about how he let a Thai girl (or two) rip him off. Geez !

In the article picture, lots of beach goers but none in the water. Huh. I guess they are afraid to get hit by something.
