    Yes the Baht is too strong, yes there are some ripoffs around, but :

     

    Deluxe 1 bedroom condo on the sea in jomtien / pratamnak 20/30k per month

    Eat at the foodcourt in Terminal 21 : 35/40 baht

    Buy a jeans 2 t-shirts and some shoes at the market : 1000 baht

    Get a girl at home for sex if you would like : 1000 baht

    Yamaha Nmax, even with the high baht two-thirds of the price in Germany

    Power, water and gasoline much much less expensive than in Europe

     

    So yes please the baht back to 38 for the euro, but with 34.5 it's not as if everything suddenly is 10x as much

    What draws anyone to a particular country for a holiday is Value for money,  Clean beaches, ease of obtaining a visa, however Thailand offers the following, long q's when you arrive, ripped off by taxi on way to your hotel, hotel in turn rips you off with the mini bar scam, and this is only day one, so your hot and go out for a beer...more expensive than your own country and tastes downright awful, forget the beer, you go to a restaurant and buy lunch, sure it's cheap and there is an amount that a pecker bird would get his fill on, fed up you cancel your hotel booking and receive no refund, get ripped off with taxi to airport, pay an outrageous price to bring your flight forward, and swear never to return, only to once again the following year fly in to keep tats statistics reasonable ????

  2. I don't think it is as bad as they are making out, a quick search for hotels in Pattaya I can no decline in prices, if anything they have gone up, last year i got the march hotel for 28 a night, now it is hovering around 55, most others are in an upward trend, so it's not as desperate as some make out.

    You should NEVER use either of those products! They are EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! Stick to branded Viagra or address the reason why you can't perform sexually by taking steps to improve your overall health... For example, lose weight, take regular exercise, stop smoking and drinking, etc., and your potency should return to how it was in your younger days. 

    Haha!, Yeah sure doc, It has nothing to do with how old you are right, actually drinking alcohol boosts your libido unless you drink too much.

    not only does a drink or two loosen things up and increase blood flow to essential areas, but red wine also seems to increase levels of testosterone in the blood, a necessary hormone when it comes to male sexual arousal and “appetite.”

  4. Doesn't appear to be any, each one that was suggested has a woeful reputation on main stream media, horror stories to boot, surely there has to be one that knows what he/she is doing and is not looking for an early retirement.

  5. Not sure if this would apply to you as an owner, but on a multi entry retirement I thought i would do the right thing this time, so within 24 hours of my re entry me and the agent (not the owner) went to Jomtien immigration to notify of my arrival and to fill out a tm-30, It was a simple process for the agent, however I was surprised that I did not need to fill out any forms, they just wanted to see my passport, they attached a slip to my passport indicating that i have registered my address in Thailand, the slip is stamped and signed, I can breath a sigh of relief knowing i wont get fined daily for not reporting my whereabouts, having said that Bangkok might be entirely different.

  6. Not only Russians, plenty of Italians around as well, View Talay area is surrounded by italian restaurants, and many iti's reside there, they do keep to themselves in groups resembling the Chinese.

    I am here ( 17500 ThB + utilities ) till end of month ( visa extension ) :

     

    http://www.maxxcity.com/en/index.php

     

    and no " water view ".

     

    Wonder where those " nice newer places with a water view in the 10,000 b or even less"

    are.

     

    Of course " new " & " nice " are relative.

     

    Could be Lumpini Seaview Jomtien, from 7k per month, shoe box size,

    nothing in central at that price though.
