  1. Yes, most certainly all hassle free for a cost.
  2. I actually think they could make Soi Buakhao more interesting by making it a walking street only after a certain time. Cars can't move much anyway in the late evening.
  3. I would purposely not book a hotel if they served this breakfast. A big reason obesity and diabetes are on the rise in England. Just a terrrible greasy artery clogging mess.
  4. Hmm. You have photos of the 500 b rooms you stay in?
  5. I certainly like Bangkok, but the Athenee the 20th best hotel in the world? I have stayed there it is part of Marriott. It is nice, but no way in my opinion not even one of the top 20 I have stayed in.
  6. More like Los Angeles it seems many places you go, it smells like weed.
  7. I recently hired an agent to take me there walked right in got my 5 year.
  8. Rain and flooding. They mostly seemed like scams anyway the cute girl coerces you to sit down, then the ugly fat one sits down next to you.
  9. Bangkok should be higher. KL? One of the worst racist places I have ever been they sure seem unfriendly toward westerners.
  10. One of the greatest politicians in the world I totally admire him.
  11. You got almost 40 positive responses, so obviously others agree. I totally disagree especially at age 66 jeez, I certainly have lots of life left just as active as when I was 40 and thinking about the future all the time. The average age of death for males I believe is the mid 70ś. If I got sick and died at 66 I would feel somewhat cheated that is still not an old man in my opinion.
  12. Oh, I think differently this is the place everyone wants to come. A neutral country that is safe, low cost, has all the amenities, infrastructure, etc. I see it potentially as being one of the top destinations in the world next year.
  13. I think it is the best place in Pattaya. Decent beach, close to central, not a lot of traffic, quiet, nice properties on the beach. Depending but generally, it is probably more expensive then Jomtien for rentals.
  14. Can think of many pros. Make sure to protect yourself and get a prenup.
  15. Foreigners are "purchasing" land and house. Sorry folks, you don't actually "own" it.
  16. I lived lived in Thailand long enough to make up for any lost time. So glad I am here.
  17. Of course. Why would anyone believe they would vote against him?
  18. The whole place is about a 4 or 5 at best. Backpackers and Thais most tourists. Several weeds shops popping up in and around the old city. CM is a Chinese tourist town anyway it will never be like it was until they come back. As someone else said, good time to go if you don't mind the rain.
  19. From where it was a few years ago around 30, it is like a 20% raise for Americans. Way ahead of inflation here.
  20. I drove one a few weeks ago. The suspension was terrible like a 1970's truck. Warning lights going on everywhere, the side molding coming off. 3 tires showed warning on air, I filled them to 32 they were showing various numbers in the low 20's I thought it was pretty cheap.
  21. I was paying 13k in a larger one bedroom on a high floor in building A. But, I left The Base it is very popular was a zoo pre Covid Chinese and other illegal short term rentals 100's of them coming and going everyday. The management will do nothing about it. I live in Naklua now and love it.
  22. Currencies will continue to fall with raised interest rates. So much for the: gold is a hedge against inflation theme. People have become uninterested in it down 20% now. Turning out to be just a box of rocks?
  23. Not a big fan of the place, but good for them seems like one of the few successful restaurants that continues to expand. As far as western food in or near Naklua, Terminal 21 has several western choices including Arno's which I think has the best burger in the city. But, "western" is really the opinion and experience of where a person came from. Breakfasts in most western countries for example are not the same.
  24. For less then 15k ypu can rent a nice condo at The Base. Full kitchens, central can walk to many of the entertainment venues, malls, etc.
