  1. No excuses greed and easy πŸ’° πŸ€‘ money is a great temptation Heavier sentences needed to deter the many thinking of doing the same Might make some think first πŸ€”
  2. Once the police catch these quality Russian tourists should check their visa plus maybe their funding if they can afford to stay in Thailand
  3. Totally agree I was quoted a monthly sum far exceeded my pension Plus existing conditions not accepted I have saved money on paying cash cheaper when required now 75 years old not worth paying
  4. Never a truer word spoken in Jest You just have to look at the Brit newspapers or Media news It's mostly depressing news 😱mind you that's what sells papers Makes you happy you made the correct decision to retire here in Thailand πŸ₯³
  5. First it was the backpackers coming to Thailand experiencing the beaches Temples and culture Then came the family tourist staying in hotels visiting temples swimming plus Prestine beaches then Now with the open visa policy all types of Rif Raf people low spending are now coming just read the news reports fights in bars arrests involving drugs Cannabis seems to be getting the norm here ect So I would think any wealthy person reading the news would probably look else where to spend their money or retire in a safer environment
  6. No fool like a old fool. 🀑 Must have been desperate
  7. The British public have been to slow over the years to voice their concerns on illegal immigrants numbers going up every year They voted in a Labour government who said they would give it top priority in getting the numbers down No point in pointing to the last government They were just as bad You are in power now sort it out now 😱
  8. Just read a article that Malaysia has now beat Thailand on Tourist arrivals first quarter of 2025. 10.1 million arrivals Thailand second 9.55 million arrivals You can see Thailand with the daily bad press reports of fighting drugs ect slowly getting worse for future Tourist arrivals 😱 Malaysia is the place to go πŸ₯³
  9. Well this is going to be interesting as I can imagine a lot of brown envelopes and people in high places involved 😳
  10. Give him a big financial fine πŸ’° send out a message to others obey the laws in Thailand or go some where else
  11. No dates mentioned on this story of when they were flying and arriving Only they were coming for a Christmas break When πŸ€”
  12. With Thailand promoting the sale of Cannabis ect it is no wonder people come to Thailand and get involved in selling the stuff For those involved it's worth the risk πŸ’° πŸ€‘ Money to be made Tougher Sentences needed to deter those involved It won't stop all as greed is easy πŸ’°
  13. Thailand seems to be a haven for Brit criminals Properly more hiding here Police and Immigration keep up the good work fine jail and deport These not quality Tourists πŸ˜’
  14. This is getting beyond a joke Pattaya reputation as the Sin Capitol of the World is well known It's what it's renowned for people come for this pleasure It becomes a Pantomime when Thai authorities refuse to accept the truth Come into the 21st Century and face reality
  15. There are 2 answers if you are a expat residing in Thailand I am mainly looking at retired expats 1. if you ae worried and can't sleep πŸ˜• 😴 I am sure there are plenty of Lawyers and accountants willing to help you at a cost cash πŸ€‘ 2 probably like the majority of us wait and see πŸ‘€ what transpires Or the Government people bank ect contact you Enjoy your stay
  16. Should have been deported in the first place He though him and his wife had friends with influence in high places To keep him in Thailand πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­ Seemingly not 😱
  17. Yes I remember that open air bar in the 80s-90s is it still there πŸ€”
  18. Good to read positive reviews that Thailand is cheap to shop and live Usually reading moans and groans of the cost of living here Need more positive news keep the expats and Tourists happy to live and holiday in Thailand πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­ πŸ˜€
  19. As has been mentioned many times Pattaya,s reputation is built on prostitution It's known Worldwide as the Sin city capital of Thailand Don't worry about the well known reputation of Pattaya It's a imagine that won't change plus don't forget Corruption to be included To much money πŸ’° πŸ€‘ to be made πŸ€‘
  20. As normal here some expats complain about anything Most like myself have commitments family house ect so no chance of leaving Thailand The others old single relying on Pensions ect talk the talk but don't walk the walk Most will stay in Thailand
  21. Let's see πŸ‘€ it's the low season plus now rainy season Plus the news tourists in Pattaya and Phuket up to no good fighting drugs and so on getting National attention Maybe some high quality Tourists are deciding to go elsewhere 😱
  22. I was surprised when they mentioned 16 years old -20 to receive the money why πŸ€” The old handicapped sick who can't work Yes I agreed they deserved it and did receive it πŸ‘ πŸ€‘ At least some were happy 😊
  23. I think we can say the reputation of Pattaya and Phuket as a safe foreign Tourist place to come is slowly ebbing away 😱 Probably more for the many expats living there who are now hearing or reading maybe even seeing about the problems. Drugs fighting in bars and so on Going on there seems to be getting more regular 😳
