The point was: some people don't like to see others succeed financially.

Good, they invest their money, they get richer. They deserve their returns. The key is to invest in businesses with pricing power. I imagine the bars are suffering; no pricing power in beer. The poor get into debt to look richer.

Not at all. It isn't even news; it's just something for the knuckle-dragging heathens to whine about.

Yeah, here's a real life example. Just spoke to my EX. She was complaining that she only made 1500 yesterday for a day's massage work. And that was without any tips (as she is now working in a Thai residential area and she says they don't tip.) Her new farang BF won't let her massage down Sukhumvit anymore cos he knows what goes on 😏 Still though: 1500 a day for a person with few qualifications (sure, it's hard labor if all the customers want strong massages, but still..) If she gets that 6 days a week, you tell me how much she'd make at the end of the month. I'll wait........ .....but I can tell you she easily clears 25k a month and this is without tips, remember.

I think Thais say "som nam na" 😄 👏 👏 Can't think of the reason for keeping the deposit. The place looks in good condition (minus the writing on the walls). And I don't see how the vandalism to the walls could cost 350k to fix, probably a 10th of that. The security deposit would likely cover it. I think the owner calculated the damage with a multiple of 10 for farang price. Maybe they don't know there is a national effort underway to end dual pricing. 😄 Farang 1 Swindler 0

Sea Life got me the other day! Took my (Thai) daughter and her friend. Last time I went I booked the tickets there in person showing my driver license and got the Thai price, but this time my daughter's friend booked her ticket online so we did the same When booking online I thought there would be a dual price option. There wasn't. I was pleasantly surprised. I bought the tickets (I couldn't remember the Thai price I paid years ago) and they were a bit pricey. Anyway, whatever.. Then, my daughter's friend told us what she paid online: it was half price. I thought "I wonder what happens if I change the language to Thai on Sea Life's website?" 🤔 Well, of course, different prices appear if you go through the website in Thai language. Their sneakiness is truly applaudable. 👏

Disrespect.......to say the least. It should be criminal! They are absolutely, abhorrent, stinky, slimy, little <deleted>s. I haven't seen much trace of respect here to be honest. It's not a place for that.

It'll never change; it's in their DNA, I think. 💩

I honestly think it's always been full of lowlives. That's why it has attracted such tourists.

This is what Thailand is for.

I honestly hope tourists boycott Thailand for greener pastures. They don't deserve tourists

Better not leave your barstool. They are just tricky, slimy, little <deleted>s.

What was he supposed to pay the ladyboy for? Sitting with him? I wonder if there was a problem with the bill amount? 🤔 That would be typical of Pattaya. Literally, everyone (except elderly or homeless) has a smartphone and banking app nowadays. How else do they pay for their Grabs and such?

Damn right. Just checked my oil investment. Permian Basin still blowing gold everywhere.

Don't concern yourself with the peasants.
