Phuket struggles to attract tourists in 2023 low season
Jumbo1968 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Kazakhstan is oil, gas and mineral rich, Kazakhstan had proven crude oil reserves of 30 billion barrels as of January 2018–the 2nd largest endowment in Eurasia after Russia, The Kazakhstans have a new found wealth, I worked on the oilfields a few years ago, usual story though only a few are gleaning the riches. China was booming in 2019, I don’t think we will ever see the influx again of the Chinese not unless the gambling restrictions are lifted. -
Phuket struggles to attract tourists in 2023 low season

If I remember during Covid the government said they didn’t need tourism to boost Thailand GDP, they could get by with domestic tourism ? The main reason is the price of airfares, until the flights have a few empty seats fares won’t come down. The high season if there is one will determine wether people have deserted Thailand. -

The thing is it can be inaccurate but the rules are constantly changing here in Thailand. -

I have been told it’s not the round board anymore for the colour test but a set of traffic lights, is it the same at Land Transport in Pattaya ? I would have no problem doing that test. -
I have a valid U.K. Driving Licence, I failed the Thai Driving Test, I am partially colour blind so couldn’t distinguish the colours on the board from a distance, that kind of test isn’t mandatory for a U.K. Driving Licence although I can read a number plate at 20 metres the mandatory test in the U.K. I have no problem with traffic light colours. if I get an International Driving Permit can I get insurance and if so can I renew my IDP every year ?

The way I read everyone who applies for a first Child U.K. Passport through VFS in Thailand has to supply a DNA Test, £200 if you use VFS. A previous poster says this only applies from people from Laos but I can’t see where it says that ? I wonder if anyone has ever challenged VFS about having to supply a DNS Test ?
-
If you are not married to the Mother she has to sign the application form, I signed our sons and I had to resubmit the application form with his Mothers signature. The other point is if the it’s the child’s first passport VFS Global in Bangkok now require a DNA Test not sure if you have to as you are applying in the U.K. but I doubt it. DNA testing – For first time child cases (first passport for a child) applying for British citizenship and who have been offered by His Majesty’s Passport Office to take their DNA test at a VFS Global Visa Application Centre.

I always thought you retained your passport and the agent cut the corners off ?

140 Thai women lured into prostitution in Myanmar
Jumbo1968 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It doesn’t matter what country or where they work wether it be a bar in Pattaya or otherwise they get exploited. Some wise up and use their bodies attributes to their advantage though. Fella who shall remain nameless does a lot of YouTube stuff opened a bar in Treetown Pattaya. He said there would be no girls there only staff, that didn’t last long as he had no customers. Opened another bar Soi Pothole now bragging he has 20 girls available. -
Who ever decided on the location was not familiar where the entertainment centres were in Pattaya or thought the brand would attract customers.

Stand corrected.

12000 baht not including fee, Key Visa.

140 Thai women lured into prostitution in Myanmar

To qualify for benefits the women must have had indefinite leave to remain which takes 5 years, not cheap. A friend of mine married a Thai woman and as soon as she got indefinite leave to remain divorced him, she is still living in the U.K. -

Obviously a lot of thick foreigners about who sponsor these women, I would say your statement applies to a minority, it would take a few thousand short/long times to buy a house or a car even with a sponsor/sponsors.. I am not a woke feminist, my opinion is many as I have said women and men are forced into prostitution, yes there are jobs but due to the low salaries they find prostitution can provide a better income. -

Amazes me how bar owners promote prostitution always on the look out for ‘staff’ although some have now gone freelance on the dating apps. Some are genuinely looking for security but in general it’s their only way of earning an income degrading themselves with some usually old fat farang for a few minutes for a few baht. -

Let’s be honest most Thai women are lured into prostitution as needs must due to the poor education system and low salaries.
