I thought prostitution was illegal in Thailand. Very surprised all the prostitutes were not rounded up and sent back to their homes. Maybe tomorrow. Or could there be another reason the police have “comfort” with the situation as it is? 

Does anyone know the up to date rates for monthly parking(car) near the airport? Any advice?

Yes I definitely lose weight during my 7 months a year in Thailand. The following reasons;

1. Ambient heat causes a greater amount of water uptake and subsequent less water retention. Heat also reduces need to eat as much.

2. Far less “fatty” foods consumed. Cheese is so expensive and cost inhibits greater consumption. Same argument for bread and butter.

3.Availabilty of very good vegetable based food high in fibre.

4. Last, but not least... more exercise taken

Due to the quite disgraceful behaviour of the owners at Blue Canyon Golf & Country Club Phuket( they raised annual fees by 300%, transfer fees from 140k to 250k and have given no reason and refuse to communicate at all with members), I have decided to look around for somewhere else to live in Thailand.

I would appreciate comments on the quality of golf club life for farangs in Hau Hin and Pattaya. I have already dismissed Chiang Mai due to the field burning each year.

The news is encouraging if true.

Let us hope that the rules of eligibility are firmly set throughout the land and no sway to local districts to change their interpretation.

Not unreasonable for the Thai government to want higher earner/ spenders on long term visas.

I wait with baited breath!!

Many thanks for quick replies

Just about to go on a short golf trip to Vietnam from Phuket. I have multi entry Thsi visa and  up to date UK passport. Would like confirmation that I don't need a Vietnam visa for under 15 day tourist visit.
