  1. Although i do applaud your sarcasm, knowing the Government in Thailand, sadly it could happen?
  2. "They also reiterated they are against other freedoms like drinking alcohol and same sex marriage. They don't want to see any more liberalization there either. They don't like it and they think it's wrong." But its OK to have four wives?? You can't make this up!
  3. Already hit the international news: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/thailand-may-pricier-tourists-dual-112342868.html Great timing, people are looking at winter holidays, Thailand has always been (pre covid) a top choice. To try and boost tourism this policy is not going to work methinks! Who comes up with these stupid ideas?
  4. "It was not immediately clear how the government’s new plan to attract more foreign tourists to Thailand – by raising prices and charging them more than Thais – would impact foreigners living in the kingdom" Well that sentence above says it all! They don't know how raising prices will impact foreigners living in Thailand. They will leave and not come back! Or not go in the first place.
  5. I'm assuming your not Thai? LOL
  6. Quite so. Even when you get thru to 999, they have people answering that aren't trained properly. https://news.sky.com/story/lord-winston-accuses-999-call-handler-of-wasting-time-as-wife-lay-dying-in-his-arms-12646058
  7. You are correct, problem is if Biden is out, Kamala is in, I'm sure she won't be any improvement!
  8. Good point, neither party have any real clue how to run the country. Certainly Nigel Farage couldn't do any worse than the clowns at the helm right now!
  9. The problem is the serving staff are probably on minimum wage and want to keep their jobs. So they do not want to upset the boss. They are not well trained, especially in customer service, so they either don't know what to do with a complaint or don't care?
  10. Correct it is also the most consumed meat in the world!
  11. You really shouldn't give them ideas!????
  12. Most people go to Thailand because its Thailand, meaning they don't want Singapore, where everything works, where the infrastructure is good and taxis don't rip you off. Thailand has its own flavor and many people go for that reason. They know what to expect, usually?
  13. You could try a "Bolt" taxi, probably cheaper than Grab. you would need to download the Bolt app. Probably around 1000Baht. I have used Bolt taxis for around 6 months now, never had a problem.
  14. I think as long as the customers can afford the prices, they won't have any issues.
  15. Good job my student days are long gone and I am not woke, otherwise that could have offended me! ????LOL!
  16. Its definitely not aimed at him, but I was just making a point! Agreed the post I was quoting previously was very silly!But that's life
  17. Very interesting, both funny and disturbing at the same time.
  18. I don't think there is any argument there are some very rich Indians, as you point out. In any country there are rich and poor people. The question is would Mukesh Ambani and family come to Pattaya for a vacation and go to club in WS?
  19. Absolutely correct, its called censorship!
  20. Some people do yes. Some people also have no sense of humor, but thats life!
  21. I do live here, which is why I am posing the question. My point was would a super rich Indian family come to Pattaya, which has a less than salubrious reputation. I think they would prefer Phuket in a high end hotel, beautiful beaches etc, or even Bali. Numerous choices really.
