I can name dozens of places in Pattaya and Bangkok that do short and longer term Airbnb. Places like The Base and The Edge in Pattaya are very popular. There has been no broad crackdown and I bet there never will be. I think it could be a money maker. I know a couple of places in Bangkok off the Skytrain they get 25 to 30 k a month. At that rate they will be paid off in about 10 years. All about location, but yes I think it could be a hassle managing it. One good thing about Abnb is they rate the guests so you can weed out the losers.

Just adding to their debt. My experience is things are generally crowded/increased traffic until after Valentines day. -
Where to meet 50 something like-minded individuals?
bkk6060 replied to Celsius's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I did meet some similar in Sport bars. Or, golfing. The only issue is starting a conversation people immediately get on the defensive. Ask them where they are from ( a normal question) and they seem to think you are prying into their life. So many people here from different countries, backgrounds etc, not really easy. You can also try Expat meetings. -
I had a good year. But in reality it is just about back to where it was 2 years ago. The S and P still is not at its all time high. Stocks like Facebook tripled, but still not at all time highs. Many other stocks are even or down. The big techs mostly up. It will be interesting many think inflation is tame now, but I think that may be premature. Will wait and see especially with the President elections what 2024 will bring for stocks.

Give me a gas hog any day. Sales of EV have slumped. The Woke thinkers who are buying them will reach saturation at some point. Resale values of people who have them now will be practically worthless as they improve the technology. Kind of like spending $1,000 on a VCR years ago. Especially in the U.S. Republican Desantis and Trump are not fans of EV if they win, government support will probably be limited.

In What Ways Will YOU Reform Yourself in 2024?

I just manscaped myself front and back. Excited and ready to go for the New Year. -
It will go on for 3 days. Must be wonderful to purchase a 10 million b condo at Northshore and have constant noise and wake up past midnight all the time. Just wait for April the "month of Songkran".

Was 1/2 second from probably death on Beach Road 2 months ago. It is a one way street I wanted to cross for my walk. Looking in the direction of the one way traffic to clear. It was clear, I started and at that moment a Thai on a motorbike came racing in front of me going the wrong way against traffic. His right mirror glanced against me. One more half step I would have been done. I will never forget it you never know. Never get complacent here keep your head on a swivel at all times driving or walking near roadways.

As one of the most popular party cities in the world Pattaya is noisy everywhere from my experience. Maybe move to the dark side or Bangsaray.

Any business at Chonburi it is also the first question they ask. Must be a big money maker the area folks go to update it is usually crowded.

Thais don't want to do those jobs so what is the problem? And, maybe the police should talk to their own people if in fact they arrived via the airport with visas. Not really smuggling unless it was done with the movement being secret or illegal.

Real Estate Sales Agents Commissions
bkk6060 replied to kuma's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Real Estate agents here and especially in the west are overpaid lazy jokes. A place like California now 5% with home prices is around 50k dollars. That is a year wages for many people and maybe these agents put in 80 hours at the most for listing/ advertising properties. Here, kind of the same what do they do for 5% but put your property on their website. Or, maybe a photo of your property hanging in the window of their shop. Wow. And, trying to make an appt. to see a property is a hassle if they ever return phone calls or emails. It is all poorly managed here no multiple listing, no readily available comps, expired listing on their websites. Maybe better off trying to sell it yourself.
