  1. Interesting there have been reports on here of folks booking hotels then when they try to pay, a higher rate is listed with added fees. I wonder if this is what they are doing?
  2. The OP has some points seems to be consistent to where I don´t really eat out much. Just today in the afternoon, I ordered a Cappucino and twice I said no sugar. Of course, it comes full of suger so I politely said I asked for no suger. Eye roll, sigh, chatter with her Thai collleague and pissed off emotions as she made me another coffee.
  3. https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/cost-of-living/thailand/spain Some people seem to be spewing nonsense about all these countries being cheaper. Spain for example rates 50 to over 70% more expensive. Best to do some research on these great wonderful cheap places .
  4. One. Too old to run and hide from anyone.
  5. On the odd side 1 to Asoke it is mostly hookers, Ladyboys, black man and people who look dirty and probably stink. And those seem like the good people. It is the lowest and dirtiest I can remember stay away. Asoke to Thong Lor mostly Korea, Japan, Thai, and Chinese lots of decent Restaurants in and around the area.
  6. Yes, a great option I have done this a number of times. HK is a lot of fun and Thais can get in Visa exempt. On each occasion however, the Thai girl I was with were pulled off the line at entry, and questioned. This last April they questioned her for 20 minutes. Everything was fine in the end, just saying they want to know why they are there.
  7. I think yes, the games are a factor. It is like people who grow up in abusive families sadly, they end up being abusers. Being bombarded with the violence and death of these games all day certainly could cause an undeveloped mind to be swayed imo.
  8. Many still think of Thailand in the same category as Cambodia, Vietnam, etc. 3rd worldish low level countries with not really much to offer rich people.
  9. ADHD? Get some medication. The guy looks like a freak. Disgusting and sad really.
  10. Khao Soi in Bangkok about an hour ago.
  11. It seems a waste to me. It is like buying a VCR when they came out. Then, they became obsolete. The technology of these vehicles is not near their perfection. Buy one now in a few years, it could practically be worthless. But if some think it will save the world, then good luck.
  12. It was a generalized statement as one path to get a Thai girl there. Yes, need to be American.
  13. Sorry, disagree and I have reliable info. from a U.S. embassy employee. 98%+ are disqualified. The problem is historically, many Thai females were granted Tourist VIsa's but what happpened is they ended up working or living with their boyfreinds and never returned, Lots of overstay. There is also an unwritten age cut off those under 40 rarely if every are accepted. Maybe an older female who does have businesses, money and possibly family to visit in the U.S. may be granted. People who say they got it 10 years ago, sure. But now, it is very very rare for a Thai gf to be granted a Tourist VIsa for holiday to the U.S. I know dozens of guys who have tried, all rejected. If you want a practically sure thing, get the fiance Visa. But then. you will have a marriage decision whne you get there.
  14. The gf says Safari world, aquarium at Siam, Jodd's market for food experience, Chinatown, floating market.
  15. Just come in express your opinion, get out and turn all notifications off if you don't want constant arguing and conflict. It is each individuals choice to engage.
  16. Pattaya is jammed with traffic and lots of Arab, Indian, Chinese tourists. High season will be great in Pattaya if you like crowds and price increases.
  17. Slim and none to take Thai gf to U.S. They rarely give Visas for Thai females in your situation. You can fill the application online and they will give her an appointment date at the U.S. embassy. I have been here more then 10 years and I do not know of one Thai female gf who has gotten a Visa to the U.S. They throw a piece of rejection paper in their face, don't let them ask any questions and tell them to leave. Rude and impersonal. But, give it a try and let us know how it works out. .
  18. Siem Reap is OK for a few days. PP when I went last year dirty and had too many bums and drug addicts in plain sight. Prices way up from a few years ago especially for entertainment. Saw some guy in the gutter sleeping with a needle hanging from his arm. Won't go back.
  19. The Donuts here are truly lacking all from my experience cake donuts with toppings. How many have had a real apple fritter? Crispy on the outside and full inside of apple and cinnamon. Or, how about a real old fashioned.? Crispy texture on the outside, soft in the middle. Or, a layered donut 10 to 12 layers of very thin donut stacked together. Or, a bear claw? Cake donuts are boring and lazy prep not a fan of what they sell.
  20. 90 day online Some of us can afford agents for extension. I bet all of us Retirement folks pay NO taxes. So, bye bye.
  21. Probably some students out there who would go for it. They are still young and they can dump you when their real life gets started. Also, as far as a Bargirls. Lots of cute bar cashiers out there. Maybe a proper fit for you.
  22. More drunks, fights, accidents, stabbings, and shootings. Should all enhance the reputation.
  23. The numbers are one thing, who they are is another. I don't know of one person with money, unless they are divorced and single, who wants to come here. They have been going to Hawaii, Mexico and Europe. Thailand still has a reputation as kind of cheap 3rd worldish. Backpackers and sex seekers paradise. But, as others have said lots of turmoil in the world, economic issues, kids are back in school, holidays in the west is coming up, many people are not in the mood to travel so 600 million b may be a big waste.
  24. Happened to me this past week. Book a hotel for 4 nights 12,000 b. When I hit checkout it went to 16,400. Bunch of fees added. Went to another site and got the 12,000.
  25. What is her name? She dark skin? I have also been seeing a married women whos husband is in Sweden.
