I’ve never carried my passport in case I loose it and they go tatty very quickly, only carry just my driving licence, been stoped once only but not fined just waved on?
must be lucky but I’ve never had a cop try to extort money from me either so either I am the exception in here or perhaps some stories are date I say potentially fabricated?
A Thai license always works for me also.
I have never been extorted either. I am sure it still happens, but a lot less then it did 5 years ago.

Not sure this is a "Thai thing." I myself refuse to sign anything unless I initiated it. Some of the responses on here are strange. Do you guys just sign stuff for anybody who ask?
HA. Of course every issue that people do not agree with or can attack and be negative is all a "Thai thing" don't you know. ????
I am on board with you.
Even in my home country someone knocks on the door wanting signatures I say sorry.

I love Thai pricing of houses and condos,our son has just purchased a house,he got it 3 million cheaper than a house in the next street,which is exactly the same model but not quite as nice,and with a really rough empty one next door.
When i rang to check the price the guy selling would not listen to how much other houses on the estate were selling for,reckoned his was far superior.
Sent from my SM-A720F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
Unless you have a full disclosure of the sales price and terms of other sales, seems you are just relying on a phone call.
I bet he could not sell it for what it paid for it in 6 months.
But if he is happy, then great!

When you forget or ignore Thai Rule #1 (Money #1) you’re setting yourself up for failure.
Also, when Thais say, “up to you” they really mean that sh*t.
Sorry, absolutely the continued dumbest comment on this site.
If one is in touch with reality...
You are extremely naive as money is number one in your country, for you, and for your family.
The "Thais money #1" comment is a smallbox blind naive react judgement comment.
If a person is honest about their life, money is number one.
Just read all the threads on this site it is all about the money. Or, lack of it.
Please, do not try to convince others you are in some way better then Thais with your "Thai money number one" comments.

170M baht is ~5.3M USD. Let the Chinese have the ridiculous shoeboxes in the smog. Insane.
Sure, most Falang would not pay.
But others will.
Exactly my point....

Yes of course.

Hope the truth is not a problem.
Thanks for confirming. ????

Nothing will be done.
In a month or less these threads will be dead.
And, the same people will be complaining about the hordes of Chinese at Nimman.
Such is life of the "quality" ex-pats in CM.....

Back in Pattaya now.
A strong 2 hour rain this morning.
Everything is fresh and clean and clear.
Went for a 2 hour walk and enjoyed the freshness.
Nice!

Too many Falang think they are so important to this place.
Their arrogance and demanding attitudes is a big reason for the deterioration of Falang being wanted and appreciated here.
This place to me seems to be at the point they do not care about Falang. If you leave or not, so what is how they feel.
What is happening? You are being replaced by a smarter, richer, more appreciated Asian neighbor.
If it were not for the Chinese influence here now, the real estate market some of the major towns would be in a great recession. Especially Pattaya they are the major foreign buyers by a big majority in Pattaya.
Falangs truly seem to be contributing little to the new economy even though their ego tells them different. The white/western attitudes and thinking seem to be a thing of the past. I feel sorry for none of them.
Below is a photo of the Q condos in Bangkok. Nana skytrain area.
Anyone that knows it realizes it is a good general location, but smack dab in the middle of many of the undesirables in central BKK.
I went in just for fun and was told by the rep. a handful of these places were sold to Falang.
The rest are mostly Chinese, Japan, and some Korea buying the higher end places.
These people are bringing in and spending real money here.
Sorry, but generally Falang are now I believe a thought/thing of the past.
Things have and will come around and go around. That's life.....just deal with it and accept it.

3 hours ago, mstevens said:I felt exactly the same way when I was in Bangkok recently. I used to love visiting Bangkok but surly attitudes towards customers in restaurants and stores really put a downer on things. Parts of Bangkok are so heavily touristed that I get the feeling that Thais have been worn out by foreigners who behave a different way to what the Thais expect. But it was more than that, I just found the smiles lacking pretty much everywhere and not just in the tourist areas.
Unfortunately many foreigners come here thinking they are better then this place. The "treat me like a king I have more money" then you attitude.
Yes, I think the Thais are sick of it and I do not blame them.
It will probably never be recovered.
One other thing my opinion is the Bangkok Thais actually are better then Pattaya.

lets say u have a tenant with a year contract first day u report him at immigration than 3 months later he travels abroad for 2 weeks once he returns he doesnt report back in with immigration and then immigration rings his door bell and check him out then they will fine the condo owner for that??
How is a condo owner responsible for that? Its utterly ridiculous.
Could be wrong that is not how I understand the law.
Good for the landlord for making the initial report as mine did and gave me the receipt.
From there, on a long term lease I believe it is all on the tenant to self report.
On this, at Chonburi, I have never reported my return to Thailand and have not heard of anyone at that office being dinged for it.

It is a potential gold mine location.
Implode the thing, build a casino there, then pay off those that lost.

I heard that the Gov. has opened the Convention Hall for those in search of a purified breath of "fresh" air. At least this shows some concern.
What a wonderful caring person the governor is so concerned about others.
God bless him.

As you can see, Thais are blocking loopholes. Expect the work permit issue to be enforced next. They are well aware, thanks to all the touting in TVF.
You really think this place TVF has that much influence/power?
I do know the embassy letter potential fraud was frequently spoken about on here prior to ending.
Does make me wonder..

Two blokes I know use agents. One has already been told to expect at least 5000 baht 'premium' over last year by his agent The other guy hasn't even checked with his agent yet. All a bit, "Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Get my drift, eh?" Regardless, most guys using agents preferred to say it was 10,000 when actually paying 20,000 and ultimately they will say it was all the same price as before in spite of it being significantly otherwise.
Their money so no matter.
I know close friends being quoted 30k plus.
But yes, I think you are right generally admitting it may be difficult.

Regardless of if true or not, anyone jumping into the sack with a prostitute who doesn't use a condom is an absolute idiot. And I would say that is true the world over, not just Pattaya.
Sure, yes.
But "I always glove up" is the possibly the biggest sexpat/tourist lie.
Few will admit or talk about it.
Sorry to disappoint some, but most males do not use condoms here with working girls.

Going under the 800K during the 90 day POST seasoning period
Going under the 400K after the 90 day POST seasoning period and before the PRE seasoning 800K period for the next extension
I've been posting about this for months now.
Immigration has never announced one thing about that.
It's fair to assume that if you go under the 800K during the initial POST seasoning period, that your current extension is CANCELLED, but then what? Prison? Deportation? Order to leave? Overstay fines? Blacklisting (if so how long)? WHAT!?! People NEED to know.
On the 400K period, it's not even easy to make any assumptions at this point.
We NEED to know.Some people have guessed it would only mean that your next year's extension would not be possible. That would be mild. But they don't know. Guessing things are better than they actually are has proven to be a very DANGEROUS game in this current extremely onerous environment.
Maybe they are hoping responsible people will obey the rules set forth.
I assume the penalty could be the worst case scenario. Which is why it would just be smart to obey the rules, and do not go under the amount.

Are chocolate croissants by any chance also good against Keto breath smell? The Lady is complaining, I'm almost about to give up. Her value is greater than losing some body mass.
Go eat some Som Tum and your breathe will smell like hers..

The battle to avoid another property bubble
in Thailand News
Posted
Why?
A true real estate bubble is created when people keep buying and buying and prices keep going up..
Then, at some point usually due to certain economic conditions, the bubble bursts.
None of this is happening in Pattaya/Jomtien. In fact there are over 11,000 properties on the market a share are desperate sellers trying to get out for less then they paid.
It is more of a depressed market in Pattaya/Jomtien not a bubble. A true real estate bubble has never truly occurred here.
