Nice refrigerated truck!!

There's a direct correlation between how much money you spend on some and the amount of interest shown towards you. I went to a Thai nightclub with a Thai muay thai instructor one night at 2am and yeh kinda not the best place to go at all, not made to feel welcome at all, women and men there and would not even look at me, until i was outside and then got some frosty / nasty looks from the men. It must be strange for them to see us falangs pour lavish over the women and then make no attempt to speak or interact with men (to be fair language barrier is an issue) We also do not have the same socialising establishments, go to a bar in Germany and plenty of german men, go to a bar in Thailand and how many men frequent the same one......hardly any . mostly none. The tourist areas are really falang only that and only gays and women, no straight men. The main way for Thai men to meet falangs is to dress up like a women and then you get drinks etc and perhaps become friends.

Not everyone there was a tourist but yes agree there is something missing from this story as mentioned above it sounds more likely a casino than a karoke bar,

Never heard this term 'zero dollar' tourist especially when they cough up 10,000 thb per enriched water, they are definitely not short of a few quid and i doubt they eat and sleep on the beach! I think / guess that the Thai authorities want them here on a package type tour, whereby they are supervised by their own and stick to a regular schedule taking in the sites and making sure the dollars end up with the tourist structure. Although the staff were Thai so im not sure how all the money ends up outside the country?

Here's a link for you. https://thainews.prd.go.th/en/news/detail/TCATG220628105609989 Thailand is never going to support Ukraine when Thailand is aligned with Russia, China etc in building to support there economies. War is just another form of business, plenty of money to be made by all parties, the only loosers are generally the citizens.

There's nothing positive that would come out of Thailand supporting Ukraine, infact it would be economic suicide.

Ok no need to get ratty.....Its very confusing, one minute he had the prescription then the big boss wouldnt let him have it, then he left with the prescription and was given paracatemol and cough mixture. Sounds like the op got confused and as it apparently turns out that he didnt need the life changing medicine after all. Now looking at the whole situation from afar it turns out that everything happened as it was needed to. Posting on this thread will do more harm for your health than any confusion at the hospital lol

Question i have is...........Why is the op prescribing his own treatment? Perhaps the doctor only prescribes or gives out medicine to those that need it and perhaps you did not fall into that category?

A Thai massage which may well be therapeutic, would certainly not involve any oil. From my experience which is fairly extensive. There are 3 type of places. Girls in no uniform stood out side small place and offering 'massage services' no cashier and generally 3 or 4 girls. Here anything goes and a massage is probably the lesser chosen option. Full sex pretty much anything you want with as much noise as you want. Girls in uniform, at least 3 or 4 upto 15 girls, classy looking, foot massage chairs downstairs and rooms upstairs, has a cashier and possibly even a falang couple having their feet rubbed. Here there are two options, oil or Thai. Oil means there will be extras available, and any of the women area available, although its unlikely they will take their clothes off and full sex is an unlikely option. Thai means (firstly there will a be a look of dissapoitment on the massage girls faces if you take this option) as this involves some knowledge and not every girl will be put forward for this. You have to wear a robe and the chances of a 'tommy tank' are unlikely, full sex is pretty much off the cards. Health massage places to me seem like a bit of a scam and have often seen younger lads working in them, not sure what goes on in these and has not frequented them.

Unfortunately Thailand's drugs / pills are just recycled through the system on a continuous loop. it will take some time for that link to do be withdrawn. America started a war on drugs 30 years ago and now there's more drugs available then ever.

Lets not be too harsh on the Thai leaders, all of the despots from the last 50 years have all had meetings or been entertained by leaders of western countries. There's always money and deals to be made and Thailand sees this as an opportunity not sure why anyone would be surprised, business is business at the end of the day. Majority of Thai people don't know or care about the war / invasion in Ukraine just as they are unaware of all the other atrocities that occur in other countries around the world on a daily basis,

Exactly how many Thai policemen have been to the US, less than 0.01%

Ive lived there and will live there again but its the same old posters writing the same thing on this dual pricing. Ive never heard of anyone complaining about the prices in Thailand only on this forum from people who would probably never go to these parks even if the price was the same for everyone. Also i dont understand why people appear to think they have some sort of rights to the country that they have decided to live in. I just think most people really overlook the cultural differences between the countries ethics and ideals and think they have some sort of god given right to have the same respect and conditions as the national people. Ive seen people being disrespectful to Thailand and its conditions and trust me they wont necessarily call you out on it but be sure they will remember. It wont do you any favours.

I don't think any studying occurs, just look at restaurant hygiene and service techniques. As a foreigner you cant buy land in Thailand and if you want to step on some of it, the price increases rapidly. Sound to me like you are certainly going to pay for the privilege of living in Thailand.

Pretty sure there's no correlation between height and potential for addiction to yabba / meth. Ive never met many policemen with a university degree! I think the only qualification is to increase and recycle the ammount of drugs currently in production / circulation.

apologies

Binance, Coinbase, Gemini, Crypto.com are the largest exchanges where you can buy crypto currencies, all work in Europe although in Thailand i'm not sure whats the best to set up. Centralized wallet just refers to keep your coins on the exchange you brought from, 'fine' with the big ones but smaller ones its better to withdraw to another wallet that you have control over. Personally i would only invest in Bitcoin or Ethereum but prices are pretty low all things considered. Coins like doge and chainlink could well go up and perhaps worth a punt.

Laos / Issan is pretty much the same type of people, they are linked closer than to that of Thai people.

''The director-general said the majority of Covid deaths may be attributed to elderly persons, half of whom were unvaccinated.'' The sentence doesn't even make sense. May be attributed to elderly persons? Surely they know how old the people that die are?

Would not go anywhere near that proposal. Why do you need another property?

I had about 6,000 thb taken from my shorts by some little kids whilst walking down walking street at 6am one morning. Luckily a Thai lady had seen the crime ( I was totally unaware that i had been pickpocketed) and after a short discussion i had my money back any was told by the Thai women that they were Cambodian kids. Weird thing is straight after the theft the kids just sat on the kerb, hence why i was able to get the money back from the kind lady that saw the theft.

When i was organising the formation of the company, the lawyer would be on hand every hour of the day, never too much trouble, once i paid the money i couldn't get hold of her at all. This went on for weeks later still received nothing relating to the company and i finally bumped into her and her phone had not been working! It had she had just been ignoring me. I asked the property developer who was selling the houses if she could help find the lawyer as it was her that had recommended her. She said it has nothing to do with her. Then eventually the lawyer told me that the property developer and her family were the other shareholders, I then asked the developer why she failed to mention that she was the shareholder? No response other that you can trust us. Within a day or two of this, i was then confronted by a local women who worked in a restaurant, who threatened to kill me if i did not leave Thailand. I sort of knew the women and was suprised that i had been apparently been talking <deleted> about her. The property developer had told this women some rubbish that i had been talking badly ( I hardly knew the women concerned just used to say hello when i saw her) and was ready to shoot me if i stayed there any longer there! Bit strange i thought as i had never said good or bad about this women and he was she was spitting and calling me all names under the sun! One of the local farangs saw what was happening in this 'verbal attack' me and later confirmed that this women had previously attacked a local french men with a samurai sword. Hmmm i was getting the feeling they don't want me to own this house. I should add this was all pre covid lockdown.

I told them to close the company down (bearing in mind after paying for the formation of the co. and 2 months later i still had actually seen no paperwork, nothing) however they said I had to pay another 20k thb to shut it down. More money lol!

Never been a fan of condos but understand that ownership is more straightforward. It certainly has got alot shadier as ive found out as time has gone on. Probably best not to write about it on a public forum. Ive looked into going to court but it seems there is no such thing as a small claims type of court in Thailand. Been told that is will cost a few thousand dollars just to get a judge to look at the case and then if they dont feel thats is necessary to move forward then it wont even get to court and you lose that money.

Thanks for all the comments seems its slightly tilting to not ideal. I was always a bit concerned and the fact that I paid the monies for the company and then almost 2 months later I had recieved zero paperwork. I then asked the agent of the property firm selling these houses if they knew anything about my companies formation and they replied nothing, I'm not there customer etc it has nothing to do with them. Then eventually still no paperwork but the name of the family on the company was actually that of the agent that is selling the properties! So they went from not knowing anything to admitting it was them but not to worry as the lawyer trusts them and they are not bs people.
