No the steps were on public land !! And you think the kick was merited ?Shame on you.

Incredible the length these Chinese criminals will go to to kidnap these victims. I find it a strange choice , Moroccans, who are not known for their skill in English or other languages, unless they are counting on scamming Arab nationals ?? Also their Arab is not the same as say UAE Arab. All men too ? I hope that they will be saved , these Chinese seem to stop at nothing. Surely the King of Morocco will have some say in this awful kidnapping ??? The Thai government should get in touch with him immediately.

It’s ash.

Isn’t there a song or a series “ you ain’t seen nothing yet “ ? This story is far from finished.

When in France , you don’t have to push while in a queue for the bus/ train , just stand still and you will be lifted bodily onto the transport.

You should do what advised by Sheryl and others. It is definitely not normal to get recurring high temperatures. The tablets you are taking are just masking the problem temporarily.

From what l heard he had his visa revoked .

I doubt very much that the blind shops offer happy endings ! I’ve known lots of them for many years . Never heard the like. The cheap road shops do that .

Im 71 and use a good massage shop, usually around 400 baht up’, for an oil massage, not the typical Thai massage that is too hard for me . I have one usually every three days, and yes, I do often use the Blind massage shop in Jomtien, they’re a bit cheaper, 300 B I think for an hour. Very good. Otherwise I’ve used Lets Telax which I ve always thought a bit of a show and too expensive. There is one called Relax on the first floor above the Sportsman Pb/ restaurant on Thappraya. Jomtien, just after the Big bus station for Bangkok. Not very cheerful faces but very good. I find all these massages places help me greatly and so relaxing.

It has been known for many years that the best deal is always direct with the airline. Then of course there are airlines that are much better than others. Especially with reclamations. Also, those cheap tickets often means flying at awful times, and often with very very long layovers ! There’s always a catch.

And I don’t understand why some people believe that everyone who has money is necessarily corrupt Jealousy is one reason , and as in his case a hatred of the police force . PS, I believe what I want.

The Chinese might do it free of charge if they get docking rights ! They did in Cambodia . Nothing like a few warships in the bay.´

You obviously don’t read enough ! Look for yourself.

The bigger airports have an airport bus like in the west, and in Bangkok you can take the bus or sky train. Phuket has one but it doesn’t have convenient running times. Great service in the UK where you can get the National Express buses that run all day and are quite cheap. Same at Nice airport and all French airports where you have the airport shuttles.What Thailand needs , and not only for tourists is a good public transport system . Imagine in Phuket with all the tourists resorts, restaurants etc employing Thais, their biggest problem is getting their staff there and home . A Thai friend of mine who has a few businesses had to buy a townhouse style house to lodge all his staff . As he said, letting his waitresses and cooks drive up Kata Hill ( or Patong) after midnight on little scooters is life endangering.

Why one day only ? Where are you coming from ?

Pattaya beach is basically a cesspit . I would never swim there, or Jomtien which is slightly better. The pollution from the hundreds of boats could be stopped if they wanted. Give them a designated port further away. The drain system is comparable to 19 th century London . A regular loop service of electric buses would solve most of the filthy air you’re forced to breathe, and ban all tourist buses from the centre. Plant trees and make all sois walking zones only. Deliveries mornings only. It will never be a family resort and the authorities know it. H

Was it a Boeing ? Another incident with a flight from Korea last night.

You keep babbling on about his wealth when you have been told time and time again he and his family have personal wealth , stop posting rubbish if you’re unable to read printed facts. Boring.

I’d never drink it. The big bottles delivered I use only for cooking ( boiled) . I prefer the 1.5 litre ones unfortunately as it doesn’t help the trash problem.

Shame there aren’t many men of Sean Connerys caliber in Thailand. He’s definitely a « Hansum Man « !

He’s probably not wanted there either, but he has a French passport unfortunately . We have inherited « The Serpent « as if that wasn’t bad enough. Giving interviews, making money, writing a book, gives me the shivers.

Never knew this existed in the first place !! Surely it had to be plastered all over the news ??? Anyone know if Asean Now published it ?

If you have time I’d say 3 weeks. Ordinarily, tourists spend 2 weeks. When my niece came, met her in Bangkok and took her around the usual, Grand Palace, wat Arun, wat Pho. River trip to Ayuthaya for a day. Then flew to Chiang Mai, more temples , the White temple and Doi Inthanon. 2 days in Sukhothai which was the most appreciated. Flew to Phuket . Then went to Krabi and Railay beach. Then to Koh Chang for the best swimming, islands snorkeling , great seafood on the beach, lots of long nature walks.and National park. She loved it there. I’ve spent a lot of time there, love it. And no crowds no big hotels and chill. We went direct from there to the airport by local taxi. Great service.

You can see from the road at night. No light s on.

Where has this worked out so well ? Also , there are hundreds of thousands ( numbers ?) of empty condos . How will raising the law of 49% limit to 75% attract more buyers ? i have rented two new build condos in the last 10 years , ans stayed in another just after Covid in Phuket for a few months . The three of them were badly built, flimsy walls and locked front doors you could open with a push. The one in Jomtien had all the shelves and cupboards collapse when I was watching tv giving me nearly a heart attack. Windows couldn’t close or couldn’t open. Drains were unbearable smelly, the kitchen sink and elements were built for a dwarf . In the 80s I rented a small Thai row house which was at least solid and cheap, and then I found a wonderful apartment owned by a Thai American journalist, it was the only one of my 40 years of Thailand that was well built. Unfortunately after a few years they built a little soi with bars and restaurants right under my living room view, on what was once rice fields and wandering buffaloes. So I moved . I could easily have bought something over the years but my experiences put me off . Too much trouble. I’m happy renting less than six months of the year in the dry season in a very small family run condo .
