I hadn't realised it was an old thread, despite the title.

Seems pointless resurrecting an outdated thread. At least the poll results were correct.

Not much. I think most sex tourists and 'sexpats' will still prefer the barfining model, or using "massage" services, or just calling up a girl online.

You can ignore the Political Soapbox forums if you're not interested in politics!

Can children obtain the pre-exposure jabs?

For civilian use only. Trump ripped up the deal.

Yes, it is tedious, especially for glasses wearers. That said, each time I've had to use it (to my 6-monthly rent) it has worked eventually!

The report you refer to was area specific. Never has anyone "guaranteed that there is no prostitution in Thailand". Famously after an inspection of Walking Street the police were quoted as saying they found 'no prostitution' on that street, which is not surprising as any prostitutes soliciting on the street would have removed themselves before the police arrived.

Not many brothels in Pattaya. Most prostitution happens 'privately' after barfining from clubs, bars and gogos; or following a street or online arrangement.

We often take advantage of 'buy 1 get 1' offers in Tops and Lotus's. My wife diligently checks that it is picked up at the cashier, and we only pay for one item, but get both. Occasionally we've been told that the offer has expired and they just haven't removed the sign! In that case, we just don't take the second item (not worth arguing about). Certainly not a "scam".

Thanks. That's an extremely helpful post. Is it routine for kids (under 15) to be vaccinated?

Thailand has short-time hotels and although mainly used by locals, foreigners can use them as well if they don't want to use their own hotel.

Can you let me have the agent's details, please. Thanks.

I don't think he is; just someone who enjoys a bit of a wind-up!

According to our good friend ChatGPT: No, a cancelled UK passport cannot be used for international travel — even if it is still within its original expiry date. Here’s why: 🔒 What "Cancelled" Means When a UK passport is cancelled (e.g. because a new one has been issued), it is officially invalidated in HM Passport Office systems. That means: It may be flagged in border control databases. Airlines and immigration officers will treat it as void. It might be physically marked (e.g., corners cut, punched holes), but even if it looks normal, it’s no longer valid. ✈️ Consequences of Using a Cancelled Passport Refused boarding by the airline Entry denied at border control Delays, detainment, or fines in some countries Even returning to the UK may cause issues, as your identity/travel document is no longer valid

Do 'real men' also not use Google or the internet?

Why? It's a very common question and surely what this Forum is for! If you're disgusted, why choose to read the thread when the title is very clear.

Presumably, one can just make an appointment at any major hospital in Thailand and get a rabies vaccination? I If unvaccinated, how quickly can you get treatment after an incident? With an incubation period of months, it would have to be a fairly serious bite as most people would ignore a small scratch!

Oh dear! Who would have thought? Thanks Daily Mail. 🤣

You've had the answers!

Following the distressing death of a British women from rabies, months after being slightly scratched by a puppy in Morocco, has anyone had a preventative rabies shot, and if so, how often does it need to be boosted? Have there been many cases of rabies in animals in Thailand? Scary stuff. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jun/18/person-dies-of-rabies-in-yorkshire-after-contact-with-dog-in-morocco

Not a scam. It's up to him if he wants to pay. And it's up to her whether she's prepared to walk away from the bar without it being paid.

The thread is about the changes to the abortion laws.

Labour always has been a party that respects women's rights. That said, it was a Free vote, so not party political.
