  1. Yes, all the old poorly kempt Falang walking from Nurin setting up hunched over on the benches for hours inside Big C. I went with a friend who heard about a 800,000 b condo for sale there. I thought it was one of the worst places I have been in Pattaya.
  2. Booze can mess up and play big tricks with your brain. It can take several months for the desire to drink to subside. Most do not have enough will power to go that long.
  3. P Really? Haven't experienced this. If they "all" hate you there must be a reason.
  4. Wow, good for you. You ask them more questions? Depending on the girl and the amount, it could be worth it.
  5. Many of the economic and tax policies are out dated. I will probably buy nothing until the end of next year. Biden has been a big disappointment keeps saying everything is just fine. The U.S. needs a new President with fresh ideas.
  6. There is no rule that I am aware of, but in the past you would be flagged in the system with 6 exempt entries in a year and told to get a Visa for your next entry. You have 3 this year? You will probably be okay. Also, I think they are currently encouraging people to come why harass folks who want to come and spend some money.
  7. If they wanted a major economic boom and greatly increased property appreciation, they would open it to everyone with no restrictions.
  8. Yes, I pay much more then that for my tea bags now.
  9. It has been packed don't blame anyone for using an agent now. When I was there even with a number queue, several Russians looking scared pushing people out of the way trying to get their Putin war extensions. I have learned to be calmer, but I wanted to scream in their face.
  10. No transparency so who knows. As One more Falang said, people make things up. And, just using sq mtr. is not the full picture. What were the terms of the prior sales? Some now carry back part of the sale at low interest. What was the condition of the property? Upgrades with high end granite, flooring, appliances, etc.? Or, was it a S hole? I would speak with a reputable agency that has been in business for several years. Maybe get the best information.
  11. I avoid my neighbors. Good chance they will ask for a favor, try to sell you something, or knock on your door without invitation. Can make friends else where prefer privacy at my home.
  12. Sure seems like some embellish the claims about triple flight (300%) and hotel prices (300%). In checking flights for the next 2 months from and back to London many flights around $1000 USD. So, they were $333 before? Same times LAX to BKK round trip less then $1500 Eva and ANA some others as low as $1000 So, they were $500 or less before? And, triple hotel prices? Have not seen any of that. Maybe triple from the peak of the Pandemic but not 3 times what they were before. In fact, if one knows how to search for hotels there are lots of great hotels offers out there equal or lower then before. Maybe some need to evaulate their false claims I assume just because it gives them another reason to hate Thailand so much or they are so poor they just don´t have a few grand available to travel here.
  13. I have been going to her for the past few years. Very knowledgeable. The only issue is she is not a surgeon so any extractions will be on referral. I 100% recommend her for the inital visit, liquid nitrogen, body inspection and questions.
  14. It is really pathetic if anyone supports a place where patrons are selling, possessing and taking drugs. The place should be shut down permanently!
  15. Any place will do it I bet just ask they would love to walk on your back. But, as mentioned could be dangerous here a cracked vertebrae or cartilage can ruin your life.
  16. Lots of Bangkok Thais the lobby is jammed pulling at the new Space hotel in Naklua paying 5k to 10k a night for hotel rooms. I see the average being around 15 to 18 k. Many however, seem to be around or under that. Most if the Univ. grads will not be able to find a decent job at this time. If I was a female and decent looking, I would seek a job in the entertainment industry.
  17. The big problem with these food festivals outdoors is the heat and uncovered non iced food stalls. All the bacteria and quick spoilage especially with seafood that gets into the food it is one of the easiest ways to get sick. I would never touch the stuff some of it possibly sitting out there for 3 days. There is an extreme ignorance here about proper food preservation.
  18. One thing to make sure is you confirm with the agent that immigration will provide a reciept for the cost of original stamp, extensions, multi entry and keep those receipts.
  19. Agents are big money for Immigration. Monies that are spread throughout the entire system especially needed in these post Covid times. If anyone has a link to a Retirement process that an agent/client handled and was then reported/arrested, please post. There are some illegal worker agents that have been reported, but biting the hand that feeds you I seriously doubt is on immigrations agenda.
  20. My vertebrae were bruised a few years ago in Bangkok had a difficult time sleeping for a few weeks. Never ever again, just stick to foot massage now.
  21. What is good? It actually is one of the easiset places in the world. But, you will need to pay. Pay, pay, pay.
  22. People with foreign pensions need to look at the big picture on this. SInce your money is not being spent in your home country, you really are not affected with the current hyper inflation there. Your money is worth 20% + here compared to a few years ago when it was 29-30 to USD compared to the current 38. Inflation has hit here but much less as basic things generally cost less then the west.
  23. TMJ happened to me also after 3 implants. It comes and goes for me some pain and some headaches, but I have learned to manage it.
  24. Sure, I have the funds why not. Maids in hotels everyday I leave 100 b. Restaurants 10 to 15%, golf caddy 500, etc.
