Maybe Banger Racing would be a good substitute ? Much better adapted to Thailand. -

Bangkok Urges Work from Home Amid Severe Air Pollution Threat
geisha replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I was told by someone up country that if the government would subsidize the machines ( don’t know what they’re called) that mash stuff up , then there would be no need for slash and burn, less fatigue on the farmers and much less pollution. If this is true then it would surely reduce massively the air pollution ?? -
French mafia chaos: Phuket residents slam tourists’ alley blockade - video
geisha replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Sad but I must agree. They have ruined Paris , LYON, Montpelier and now the Côte d’Azur. They have young kids on lookouts , delivering drugs even last month 2 under 16s were arrested for murder, shot someone who didn’t pay up. It’s hard to believe. A good few years back I lived in Phuket , and saw even then the way they took over the Song loi pi rd. Openly selling their stuff and openly “ working” in their restaurants, calling out to any tourist who passed by. Touting for customers . Police turn a blind eye . With the money they reap in France from the drug trade they can live the life of Riley in Thailand. And then there’s the scams and stolen/ copied credit cards , no end to it. Makes me mad.- 88 replies

Thai Relationships: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
geisha replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Thing about it, how often do you see Thai men of a certain age, out and about, having a coffee and a chat or a beer with friends ?Or in the shops buying a new T shirt , or having a meal with the wife ?? That’s why they’re not grumpy, nobody sees them ! They’re laying on a mat watching football or sitting round a table with the others drinking Lao Khao. -
Thai Casinos: Haven or Hazard for ‘Grey’ Chinese Money?
geisha replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I think Sihanoukville was closed down by the Chinese because the Casinos were built to attract all sorts of Chinese crooks and money launderers. The Chinese literally ruined a sleepy little beach town forever, even expulsing the locals they didn’t need to do their dirty work. -
Thai Casinos: Haven or Hazard for ‘Grey’ Chinese Money?
geisha replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Can you imagine thousands of crazed Chinese gamblers on a rampage through Thai cities ? Because that is what it will be. Plus, it will be very bad for the Thai gamblers themselves as their mentality cannot handle gambling / loosing nicely.i would say it’s the worse possible thing that could happen to Thailand. I live in an area where we are surrounded by casinos. I’ve seen what heartbreak and worries it can do to normally intelligent people. -

Strange and annoying things here in land of smiles
geisha replied to villageidiotY2K's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
When I was in Phuket years ago, I thought it must be normal for ladies to go to the shops in their PJs. I saw a Russian lady this last Christmas in a nice Malta hotel in her PJs at breakfast. Though in many of the 5 Star thermal hotels in Italy, it was normal to go to breakfast in your nice hotel dressing gown . I came down dressed the 1 st day and felt quite the odd one out. Times are changing though since Covid I believe. Now it’s posh “ lounge wear”. -

Yes, it was 2011, 5 tourist deaths, the island was Phi phi. 2 Canadian sisters died. “ Toxic chemical spray kills “ BBC and world news . There’s a whole page of leads if you look it up. -
Heartbroken Irish mum honours ‘special son’ lost on Koh Tao
geisha replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It was about 10+ yrs ago. The poison spray was to treat/ kill bed bugs. Huge scandal. I was in Chiang Mai at the time, the hotel owner was a local hi so., I think the girls on Samui were from the Uk . -

Heartbroken Irish mum honours ‘special son’ lost on Koh Tao
geisha replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I wonder if they will remember all the people who died from poisoning? Some hotels on Koh Samui ( not sure which island it was) and in Chang Mai were using poison spray on the hotel beds !!! If I remember rightly it was 2 girls in One case and a whole hotel where lots of tourists were violently sick and there were a few deaths in Chiang Mai. They tried to brush it under the carpet as the owner of the Chiang Mai hotel was some local hi so. Eventually the deceased were autopsied and they found the culprit poison that was sold openly in Thailand. The hotel was demolished. I hope they check this poor Irish boy for poison. The others died in their beds too. -

From another post he died in his room, clutching his phone. Heart attack maybe, RIP . No news on autopsy yet. -
Bangkok Taxi Driver Slashes Passenger's Face in Violent Attack
geisha replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Whatever the reason for the quarrel, slashing a man’s face, 32 stitches, is certainly not normal anger. I’m glad to see the onlookers stepped in stop the driver disappearing. -
Navy Rescues Six Tourists from Capsized Kayaks Off Koh Chang
geisha replied to webfact's topic in Eastern Thailand News
How many times have I heard horror stories from Phuket of longboat and speedboat trips that turned into nightmares. Plus the occasional ferry that sinks. Me and boats in Thailand are finished, one exception the short trip over to Koh Chang and even then I sit near the lifebelts. -

Pattaya Left Behind in Thailand's 'Premium' Tourism Upgrade Strategy
geisha replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I agree about Phuket. It’s become a den of thieves ,scams and traffic jams. Pattaya is better because it’s more varied and closer to Bangkok also a better climate than Phuket. . If only it would stop the sea water pollution , clean up those shack like shops, ban buses from the centre , and create a proper ring rd with traffic control/ parking, then it would attract better tourists. Anutin can forget wanting luxury seeking tourists , apart from some 5 star hotels there is nothing else to lure them here.
