The Chinese destruction of S'ville is already well underway. Such evidence as frequent raids on Chinese call centres, arrests of Chinese without visas or work permits, forceful evictions by new Chinese owners of expats and locals from their  restaurants and guesthouses. Welcome to New China, which has bought Cambodia.  China wants to rule the world. Nobody escapes. 

they are even displacing the locals by paying over the odds for property lots of discontent among the natives china is mopping up Cambodia

It might have put more idiot drivers on the road in their new cars, so it is possible that it could have made things worse

thats what i meant.. an increasing car population with no training in a short space of time

But they do watch tv while driving fact

In thailand it is quite normal 4 a driver to watch tv while driving this distraction can go on without  sanction

In the west this does not happen because we have proper training and learner driving is practiced before issue of a full drivers licence

the motor industry setup in thailand was given an incentive to sell cars to natives through easy finance with no driving laws or training in place makes thailand one of the most dangerous places to drive

slightly off topic last sunday afternoon saw a thai male come out of 7/11 opp friendship with an open large bottle of leo get into the driving seat of a pickup he downed a good slug and drove off any wonder why these accidents happen, police are only interested in the less lethal motorbikes

People still go to these filthy beaches omg

Just for the record Skyscanner did get involved here and also forwarded my booking reference so they do take responsibility

To recount: my conformation email and flight details where released 4 days after booking on a flight that's in 3 days time.

On all previous bookings conformation was immediate

Thanks for the comments I got my warning to not use these sites best suggestion is to use SS for information only is the way to go then book with the airline direct.

I needed to return to Ireland quickly within a week have always got an instant reply email this this time i didn't, I got an email advising i check my spam from them today from a CS Travix Int  it had a contact number not linked directly Vayama but when i called they located my renovation my email address was correct but they couldn't say why  i hadn't received the mail initially, while on the phone thankfully they sent it successfully 4 days after

Yeah spam/junk  always checked, vayama emailed several times and not on FB

I have checked with my bank CC funds approved so I have no comeback

Pattaya comment?  home for expats many on here arrange flights on SS no harm to warn others

used this site many times before made a flight booking last week got no confirmation email or booking ref its for a BA flight next week.

Without the booking reference it is not possible to check in so the booked flight is worthless

I called my bank the money is gone skyscanner and Vamaya who i did the deal with are virtually uncontactable have sent several emails to no avail neither list any phone no.

Looks like i will have to book another flight wont be using these third parties sites anymore.

Here 10 years now TAT is scraping the bottom of the barrel in the last week there have been 2 reported extortion attempts on 2 different parties 6 left behind and a family bullied in to buy some over priced local tour package it cant get lower...

It got to expensive for westerners had some relatives here and where shocked at wine prices and filthy beaches

Where to next it will be harder than ever to attract quality without some major policy changes and investment

i would never go into the water in pattaya beach it is an open sewer

When they have cleaned all the sex and the bars this will will present a  bigger task because it will become the focal point on social media sin city to dirty city

Pratamnak has become a chinese bus park it the only game in town more to come

I believe Farangs do enjoy free healthcare. I went to visit patient at govt hospital and saw some farang patients on bed.
Our country has a very good healthcare service comparing to many countries. This is reason why people from other countries come here for free treatment.

Our country has so many good things. We shout be proud.

Sent from my VIE-L29 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
 

How do you know if its free i have a global policy which allow me access to medical here but it paid for by insurance provider i also think no one should expect free cover if they are here on a long term visa

Just the usual negative expat slants no appreciation on any positives after billions invested in businesses and real estate by most who deserve something more we know there are a few bad eggs but some of these paid off crooked immigration officials your staff who also try to extract from those who have done everything by the book.

Get rid of them damn residency permits supposed to be free even the world bank cites these as been unfair treatment to investors and drops Thailand a couple of point because of there retention

Major shut down on all ip tv mobdro/kodi all effected still have some movie but live tv seems to almost gone

It started when tvaddons where take down about 2 weeks ago it was go while it lasted.

It may lead to more underground ops time will tell

The Disney land for adults is changing the type of admission and where and who the money goes

too.

     (1)    Many small bars and go gos are foreign owned and when these stop trading thais will take over, a famous blog from years ago says thais will never allow foreigners make money here that holds through today

(   (2)    The group tour is better controlled and has more potential, the money spent in pattaya is carved up between thai   and Chinese owned businesses where they see fit

(   (3)    The occasional monger is less important his spend is more but diverse probably 50% going

d              back to esan this is not part of the General’s lobby group. 

Well it been threatened for so long it’s a brave move on the people behind it and if they follow through they don’t have the wind at their back its become a very expensive and the infrastructure is crumbling.

To make it a tourist attraction on the lines of south of france, of costa del sol or Algarve its so far behind it would require major China investment money perhaps this is the end game

To farang who holiday it will never be the same again but it had being changing for the last 6 years and for those of us who have being lucky to live here I think the welcome will become less hope am wrong.

what a shame being in training for the last 3 months all thought quality tourists tat will miss out on

this is a crime against Thailand, when a foreigner does something wrong its their xenophobia that comes into play we are all robbers to them, the cheek of those girls taking advantage of our short comings.

I live here would never take that chance but if they get caught they will receive no Justice will be banged up like common criminals for a little misdemeanor, mean while as 1 example, ladyboys continues to rod and assault tourists with impunity.

farang stealing it only loss of face lost to the land of scams who here hasn't been scammed or bill padded by a thai

another great job well done by monkeys in uniform i think the envelop has to go to another team or cop from now on a change is as good as a rest

Just heard Teresa May make a statement in it i can quote her saying "It was a white man" this makes white people apologists for this crime which i don't condone but all things being equal if it was a black man it wouldn't be said.

One minute they are praised on here for being good, the next minute they show themselves and those who praise them up for what they are loosers

what praise for good????? more video online than any police force in the world showing their gross incompetence and corruption nothing would surprise me from these monkeys in uniform

TAT's path to quality plenty more where this came from this the still zero dollar pathway from the big bus to the hill

grabtaxi is going to kill the taxi mafia in pattaya which in part controlled by police more an more visitors i meet are switched on to this app example of the difference can get a car 110b central festival to pratamnak a mafia songtao is looking 300b

it will be harder to break the phunket and samui mafia's
