Fistfight in Pattaya Leaves Australian Tourist With Head Injuries
bkk6060 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
There are a lot more shuffles or fights going on now. Just too many drunks and arrogance. Most are not reported. -
Why Thailand has attracted more foreign tourists than Vietnam
bkk6060 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thailand is so much better especially for infrastructure and wider range of diversified geography. -
Draft Prostitution Law To Set Voluntary Service At Minimum 20 Years
bkk6060 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I like some of the protections it creates, but I guarantee it will cause prices to rise possibly quite a bit. So, look forward to all the mongers complaints later in the year if it passes. -
Pools like that are probably so full of urine and feces and sickness causing bacteria I would never swim there. Even Pattaya beach water is probably safer.

I thought healthcare in Thailand was supposed to be cheap?
bkk6060 replied to Startmeup's topic in Health and Medicine
I certainly would question your Bangkok quotes. 17,500 blood test for what? That is the price I paid at Bumrungrad in November for a 6 hour full body extensive check up including blood panel. But I guess if folks think it is so bad here, catch a flight back home and get things taken care of it is only about a 9 hour flight.- 177 replies

Sex, golf, cost of living and far away from the terrible western female attitude. I have been fortunate to travel to many places, this place by far is the best. I only hope it lasts for awhile.

So, you want to sleep in a hut near the railroad tracks? Just joking of course, but I have lived in Bangkok before most of the locals are trying or are in fact living western lifestyles. Maybe they eat Thai food, but have or want nice condos, cars, higher end western living, etc. You can try it all on 30 k a month. But, I bet you find yourself pinching and counting your baht everyday. Not much fun, I think 80-100 k a month is about right for a nice standard of living in Bangkok.

1.5 million Thai youths are suffering from depression, numbers rising

What is their future really? What real education have they gotten to prepare for adulthood and type of quality job opportunities will be available? -
I personally know of several of these in Pattaya. Guys meet the girl online, get lots of attention promise marriage and buy a condo before they have even met. It happens more then people think and I bet most feel so stupid and embarrassed you never hear about it.

Why are Thais unemotional at funerals?
bkk6060 replied to RamenRaven's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Probably just me, but I have had the same general impression. I sometimes think that some here do not value human life. Seem unemotional about death. Another thing, I got a car a few months back and some of the driving here is so unbelievably dangerous and reckless. Add, I have witnessed crashes the drivers get out and immediately check the damage to their car, having no concern for the health of the other drivers. -
Planning to Retire in Thailand
bkk6060 replied to ChintaHuma's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I think Naklua is actually better then any of the places mentioned. And, only a few minutes to Central mall, Terminal 21, many restuarant choices, etc. Unfortunately, Jomtien has not much going on. Want to go to the movies, a food court, a mall, western type fast food or have more choices of restaurants, got to go over the hill. I bet 90% of the people at that over priced Central food court are from Jomtien. I was just in Hua Hin. it is nice, but rentals near the beach with views seem 3 times that of Pattaya. Plus, that one road coming and out can be a traffic nightmare. If one does not care about sex and booze it might be OK just more expensive. -
