Foreign man arrested for sexually harassing teenage Thai girl
If he is American he could be looking at 15 years Federal time for illicit activity in a foreign country. Either way, if all true he must be a tool and should be deported.

Government to follow up nearly 6,000 complaints about 4am closing times
If people want to sleep get a hotel far away from restaurants or bars. Difficult to do in these major tourist spots.

My observations for a recent trip to Pattaya.
The guys in the bars on Soi 6 are owners or security or possibly cheap charlies. Girls would never pass up a chance for lady drinks or go upstairs. Otherwise, your comments and complaints seem finicky.

Those Kebabs in Pattaya !
Good stand off Sukhumvit 60 b same as 2nd road. Seems a waste to make yourself. Go to the market and buy all those ingredients all that time, energy, labor and expense for a $1.60 sandwich that doesn't taste the same.

Scores of people die in road accidents on fifth of the seven dangerous days
Was on the road last week. Sorry, the drivers here are insane. Tailgating at 120 right on bumpers of other vehicles. Car after car. So uneducated and reckless. Ignorance and non caring. Disgusting really I wonder sometimes how much they value life.

Buy a condo to Airbnb - is it really profitable?
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.

Thai government cuts local alcohol tax to zero to boost tourism and economy
Meaningless mostly. If they want to make a greater impact open up the hours to buy it.

What's the point of getting health insurance if serious conditions are excluded?
I have insurance, but with all the exclusions it is really accident insurance. Having close calls on a motorbike, or even walking I will be covered unless I am reckless or drunk. Other then that, it seems they can exclude coverage for just about anything else.

New Year holidaymakers still returning to Bangkok in droves
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?
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.

US Stocks, 2023
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.

Is this the future for EV cars?
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.

Pattaya Fireworks 23 Hours Early
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".
