New Baht Bus in Pattaya
Great, Wait a few months all the dirty filthy foriengers vomiting, urine in their pants, smoking, throwing trash, wiping food and boogers all over those seats. It will soon be a big unkempt stinky mess.

If expat retirees in Thailand still lived in their own countries would lifestyles differ?
Home country has cleaner air and everyone speaks Englsih. Golf, food, dating/sex, transportation, housing much more expensive there. I find my home country much more boring then here I hope to only go back if I am about to die.

Public Health Minister Discusses Change in Cannabis Status Amid Protests
Any of these shops and owners in my opinion have done a fantastic job presenting products and assisting customers in a friendly atmosphere. Their business models seem solid other businesses could learn a lesson. Shops clean, etc. A shame to put them out of business.

It's grim out there.
Pattaya is still busy. With any shops/bars that have closed, new complexes have opened. 3rd road has Several new venues clubs or live music. Several larger bar complexes off 2nd and 3rd road. My opinion the places that have closed is because they were old lousy businesses run by idiots. Another place is near the Dolphin circle across from Terminal 21. The entire corner is boarded up they are building a large bar, restauarnt, shop complex. Naklua is seeing several projects ongoing.

Suvarnabhumi Aspires to Join the Top 20 Global Airports List by 2029
It certainly is better then Manila which is probably one of the worst. Just this week BKK added about 200 Immigration staff fresh out of the academy. So, with the infrastructure upgrades seems they are trying. Top 20 though? I doubt it.

Opening a Thai Bank Account
Sure, walk around in the heat or rain for a few days trying to open an account. it is very difficult. I would save myself time and energy and hire an agent. And, if someone says it is corruption they need to read the definition of corruption. They are assisting you with a service, that is it. Pay and get it over with.

Thailand to reclassify cannabis as illegal by 1 January, 2025
They will enforce it, too many people will complain who don't like it, post on social media etc. Better stock up at the end of the year.

Why do retirees marry in Thailand ?
If someone wants to start a family marriage could be a good idea. If not, why get married? Why have a legal contract for a relationship? Plenty of women will stay with you not married. The married who say: I do not pay.. are mostly liars. You pay, you pay.

When you get the cancer will stay here or go back?
Go back. I do not like the attitudes and treatment rendered to foreigners here. A part of me thinks they just want us to die.

Finally realizing their credit cards are maxed out and always making the minimum payment is not the answer.

Zelensky Challenges Trump on War Plans, Decries Weapons Delays
So sick of this cry baby beggar. He has been sent 100's of billion and where has all the money gone? I bet the US and other countries never asked for a detailed accounting of where the funds went. Next time guy maybe prepare your country properly to defend itself. If Trump wins I hope he gives them nothing.

Why is Thai health care so good?
My experience in 10 years here it is below par. Have had several bad experiences and misdiagnosis. And, I agree they will give you way too many pills. I go back to my home now for procedures. Just had a colonoscopy back home and Cataract surgery on one eye. I would not trust them with either procedure here just my opinion after consulting with Doctors. Way over rated here in my opinion.

If you are a resident in Thailand, should you always carry your passport with you?
Never, Carrying it is risky for theft or losing it. The Thai DL has the Passport number on it. And, in 10 years I have never presented a passport for domestic hotels or domestic flights. Just Thai DL.

Car Falls into Construction Pit in Pattaya, Second Similar Accident Recently
The stupidity of proper transition around construction here amazes me. A large hole with the first indication a cone 3 feet in front of it. They should have signs, and a row of cones at least 100 feet prior directing traffic away from these areas. If this was western country the cities would be liable for damages and injuries. Here, nothing which is why they don't care.

What do you think of women with tattoos?
I like them. Just had a great massage from a girl with several tats in nice places. Seems a little dirty to me, which is a good thing I think. I especially like when they have some dudes name an old BF tattooed above their privates. Bulls eye, too bad for you dude.
