Report Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
How could you test people on a road where following the rules is impossible? You'd either be involved in a collision trying, or fail when you drive appropriately for Thai roads.- 448 replies

Report Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Test the people who have a driving licence from a country with much stricter road safety and more stringent learning and testing... Makes perfect sense. More efforts to make foreigners look bad in order to divert attention. That will help tourism for sure.- 448 replies

Oh Koh Phi Phi, What have you become?
BangkokReady replied to Cornish Pasty's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Can you add a little context please, Bob? I'm not sure exactly who this new character is meant to be. Is he a tourist or an ex-pat? -
why always thai women pay at the cashier?
BangkokReady replied to Jack1988's topic in General Topics
Surprising comments from you… I thought you’d be more open minded to varying dynamics in relationships, why & how they work etc… Exactly what I was about to write. He normally seems fairly smart and open to most Thai cultural norms and traditions. If it works, everyone is happy, and it's the norm in the country you are in, why the need to avoid something just to prove how much of a "man" you are? I guess even someone who generally comes across as intelligent can still be a slave to their upbringing. -

BangkokReady replied to Jack1988's topic in General Topics
So what? Do you think these Thai men are handing over huge sums and the woman is spending it on whatever she wants just for herself? And they don't get to spend any of it? It's just gone? You sound like you're looking for a reason to look down on people.- 107 replies

Or it's because that is how things are done in Thailand and they are happy with it? If they're happy and it works for them, who are you to judge? They should change how they do things and be less happy in life so they are labelled a "simp"? To be honest, to get this bothered by what someone else does (and you seem very bothered - I count five insults), that has zero effect on you, it suggests you're likely jealous of what they have.- 107 replies

Very often it seems that the Thai woman is kind of the mom, with the Thai man being the child. The women are kind of "in charge" in the relationship, but they're also responsible for a lot. -
While it's monumental for this to all go public, what will be really good to see, is the people that facilitated all of this see some jail-time.

Tourism Thailand Boosts Tourism with Strategic Focus on Quality Markets
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
You can't just shut your eyes and wish yourself into being a different country. TAT seem to think that all they need to do is put up prices, say that they're targeting high quality tourists, and they will magically appear. One of the biggest problems is how they treat foreigners. Rich people, who can afford to go anywhere, won't be spending big bucks to go somewhere where there is any danger of a local (be it civilian or some sort of authority) giving them a load of hassle and getting away with it, and there's a lot of that in the press. Rich people want to know that they're going to be treated very well, if they're going to spend a lot of money. Probably better than the locals. Nobody wants to shell out on an expensive holiday only to be looked down upon and possibly abused or exploited. Sure, "it's their country and they can do what they want" is always true, but they then have to live with the consequences. -
I take care family. Are bargirls really good mothers?
BangkokReady replied to MalcolmB's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It's a troll account, so of course this is a troll. That's why the questions are so loaded. It's garbage. -
It's probably just that, while she might seem attractive, she has little long term potential, as she's so busy with her own stuff going on. These type of women aren't looking for a stay at home partner, but the men in her league are. "I started out as a woman men want to date, and made myself undatable."

Yup. Social distancing, masks, hand sanitiser, lock down everything, for the rest of time. It's the only way. 🤦♂️ -
