    Just no will to make the major changes needed. Thailand is falling behind all of the other Asian countries--it gets worse each year. Gross incompetence. I still remember the cave rescue. The only player who could speak English was a non-Thai. So embarrassing for Thailand--or it should have been if they could be embarrassed.

    So sorry to hear this news. He was so patient and helpful when I asked a visa question or had a problem. He will be sadly missed.

    Totally lame response.

    I think that's incorrect. I think at least a few of the side wing shells have been finished.--I watched one being worked on when I lived at VT5C.

    There are solid walls facing the living area so there shouldn't be noticeable noise. Powder rooms are often located near the main living areas.

    Nothing wrong with that at all. With one of the baths you could possibly have a second hall entrance so guests could use the bathroom without going into the bedroom.

    Now that the easy part is done, start actually doing the hard part already.

    I suspect they are benefitting much more than 2021, when there were less than 500,000 international visitors for the entire year.

    Doesn't really matter. You're still comparing apples to apples when you are comparing 2022 or 2023 visitor statistics to, say, 2019--still the record year for visitors to Thailand. The counting system hasn't changed.

    Cue the crocodile tears from the useless, spineless, corrupt politicians in the pocket of the NRA. The majority of Americans strongly favor gun control but nothing significant ever gets done.

    Perhaps you mean glass half-empty types, as they are deemed to be pessimists--oh, dear, the glass is already half-empty, woe is me. Glass half-full types, which I try to be, take a more optimistic approach--great, the glass is still half-full, life is good!

    They all seem to be doing fine in Pattaya.

    Yes, indeed! I feel very sorry for Mr. Maxey, unjustly smeared and presented as a scapegoat by those trying to get sex offender Kavenaugh confirmed. Disgusting behavior.

    Curious. Why is AN recycling threads? We already had this thread in March--along with 6 pages of posts discussing it to death. Why is it coming up again in the daily feed?

    She fell off a boat and drowned. Sad but it happens. Boating accidents. Why is this even a case? I feel sorry for the other people on the boat dragged in on something that would have not been anything except for her being famous.

    Probably more like 30--and any one of the developers could have built this rather piddling stadium in a year or two.

    2018??? Gives new meaning to 'dragging your feet'.

    Maybe don't drive a dangerous motorcycle on the dangerous roads of Thailand if you can't afford to pay if you get injuried.

    Good. Another loss and let there be many more.

    Lots of new construction on the Darkside with a number of new housing projects.

    Last year in June, TAT was projecting 7 to 10 million international tourists for 2022. I, myself, thought at the time that even 7 million was a big stretch. Later in the year, with more data, that 7 to 10 million was revised up by TAT to around 10 million. December 19th, TAT was projecting more than 11 million. The final figure for 2022 international visitors was 11.15 million. Pretty darn close.

    If they don't they certainly should--and be kept in working order.

    Expedite translation: Accelerate to glacial pace.

    This is the Thai version of US mayors being voted out of office due to the perception of not handling a big snow storm well. Let's hope it does contribute to him losing badly.

    My partner and I have lived in at least a dozen different condo projects in Pattaya, plus 1 in Rayong and 2 in Bangkok. We've never had a problem with slippery bath tile. Had there been slippery tile, we just would have put down a bath mat made for that purpose--problem easily solved. Would that everything was that simple.
