  1. There was a guy on FB ( pattaya or Phuket ) that did a month experiment on 5000 Baht. He published every day what he spent and how. He had hundreds of followers!!! ( No , I did not).
  2. 1 / Cant you read ??? 2/ His medical condition was admitted and published a long time ago. 3/ You’ve joined all the other doctors on AN .
  3. Yes, I had a passenger practically having an hysterical fit because I asked nicely if I could pass. After a minute , I told her I was in business, and that the plane wouldn’t leave without her! This nowadays is a push and shove society , lack of politeness, something honestly, didn’t exist in the past.
  4. Thaksin has reported many times his health problems. He has also been hospitalized for this well before ! Do you really think anyone would take the risk of a major urgency ?
  5. As you obviously don’t know, Thaksin was a very very rich man before entering politics ! He has given more to Thailand than the thieving Military . Lastly, any former president is not thrown into prison , and if he has had special treatment due to health problems ( which he has had for many years) the present illegal government would not take the chance of ignoring a former presidents claims, and possibly putting Thaksin in danger.
  6. That road is a race track , and the stupid intersection between Thappraya and Thepprasit and the concrete separation in the middle of the road is unbelievable. Also , Why oh why don’t people respect the red lights. Totally dangerous everywhere.
  7. France , yesterday 39c, today 42c + . The hottest in history. The heatwave has lasted 15 days now. same in Spain, Greece , Italy and elsewhere in EU, hence the fires blazing and hundreds if not thousands of deaths. In the heat wave of 2003 in France, 15 000 people died. Enough ??
  8. I know a lot of companies run by foreigners had big problems a while back in Phuket. They were closed down.
  9. 10 to 15% of Thais are from Chinese origin. That’s an awful lot to detest !
  10. I’m not against legalizing the stuff, but in a controlled / regulated way. It’s been done in some countries and you don’t see the mess it makes like in Thailand. People running riot for the business and shops opening absolutely everywhere, kids managing to buy it etc etc. Plus, the Thai potheads can’t handle it. I see big problems on the horizon.
  11. Yes, it’s nothing to do with money, he’s a very rich man. He would be stark raving mad to come back to prison , and mad he definitely is not. I think a lot of people here are clutching at straws with their predictions..
  12. Out of interest , why? I’m not often in that area.
  13. Thé OP says on or near Beach road, so how about the newer condos on 2nd Rd just after / near Central ? Those are on the Baht route, near Central, Baht bus to front of Terminal 21, and he can go through one of the Soi’s or even Central to Beach road. That would be my choice. I visited the Urban Realty office near Hotel Mercury and behind The Avenue Mall. They’ve built quite a few condos , I Ve lived in one, Nice girls who run the office in Jomtien tho. The one I visited behind the Avenue Mall was great and they’ve built others. Worth taking a look as it ticks all the boxes. Not sure of rent price.
  14. Why not ask advice from a well known agency ? Might be quicker for you if urgent.
  15. There is definitely no third key on a Hotel security safe, maybe in a room safe, I wouldn’t know. Never used one. Have you seen what the rooms safes are like ? they are toy safety boxes.
  16. Took a very long time to see this ! Chinese rubbish has flooded the Thai shops for many years now. Cheap, but very bad quality, so not cheap in the long run as they end up in the bin .
  17. Good idea. But reserving online hotel or airline I’m always asked for my CVV number, so someone there does have the number?? Maybe I’m not understanding? I had a problem last year . I have a platinum card I only use for hotel bookings / airlines . One day my bank manager called me and said he’d blocked my card as it had been used in New York. So how did the scammer get my CVV? For me it had to be the airline or a Thai hotel. Any advice ??
  18. Fair enough, but I wouldn’t leave a large amount of money, or my credit cards, or my passport in a hotel safe. You go out for the day, you wouldn’t notice a theft until late. I sleep much better knowing my belongings are safe ! I had my passport stolen once ( not from a safe) and the trouble I had as I was on a very long trip and nowhere near an embassy. Spoilt my holiday.
  19. What third key. ? ? its written 2.
  20. Yes, as in a bank safe, it’s a security covered room, not at reception. There are only 2 keys, one is yours one is the Hotels. You need the two keys to open the safe, which is a proper safe. There are also cameras on the ceilings. The person on safe duty can’t open your safe unless you are present. Also , to have access you sign your name which is checked with your room number.
