Ha!  Pelosi has learned her lesson from the fiasco of last year.  Could it be she is falling into line after the "impeachment" debacle?

 

Only time will tell.

 

Being contrite and inviting President and Commander-in-chief Donald J. Trump to give his State of the Union speech is a good sign. 

 

Looking forward to the President's speech!

Her invite for Trump to speak is a matter of long-established custom. The invite is for the president to speak and would also apply to Mike Spence, if it came to that.

Thought the plan was to change pattaya. How exactly does adding more bars change it ?

Depending on police cooperation, lower prices, and a sprinkle of A+ talent, it could put the fun factor back in Pattaya nightlife. An advertising campaign of "Pattaya is back!" would do wonders.

This seems to be word for word of a post a few weeks back. A re-post?

Maybe it will be G rated, full of Bollywood dancers.

Cheap booze? Always. Hookers? How about pretty women? Friendly women? Pretty friendly women in short skirts?

But if the bars don't have the same attractive girls anymore as back then, what now in future?

 

There is much more to the "bar's as we know it more than a decade ago" story ... other than only rules and enforcement.

 

The girls are not the same anno 2020 ... they all got a mobile in their hands, and they know what to do with it ????

 

And I say, kudos to them.

 

Don't open a new Bar in 2020 and try the same old same old with older ladies and play connect 4 ... it will not work anymore

 

Good point, but quality declines when income declines and the income declined with the tighter rules. Who wants to fly 8,000 miles to see bikinis? Relax rules=more customers=higher income=quality girls.

The bars don't need to change, the rules and enforcement need to change - back to what they were a decade or more ago. Remember fun?

Don't go anywhere cold. The older you get the more you will hate it. More likely to die of a heart attack while shoveling snow than exercising with a young Thai lady.

They all are, even the respectable 40 year old woman that worked in.my office was on the game through Thai friendly and lovelinks

 I've met attractive single Thai girls not on the game. One I met 21 years ago when she was 22. Actually she's far too religious but a very good friend. Another I knew for three years before we started dating. That lasted two years and she was honorable in all respects. She still looks out for me. There are many more who would seem to pass the test but I can't vouch for their standards.

Actually, you aren't the bread and butter.

Op and his wife put in a lot of effort in a visa application to meet all requirements, including assembling a lot of paperwork. According to the OP the officer did not even have a look at it. So yes, I would call that disrespecting. The officer should at least have had the decency to have a look at all the, for the application required, paperwork.

Yes, that's exactly what they did in my case. "But you are free to reapply at any time for the $100 fee."

All very well Richard but you forget the greatest risk to all those motorcyclists, lunatics in cars, minibuses and trucks. these cause most of the accidents but get left out of the statistics as they're protected inside their steel cage, unlike the, mostly poor motocycle riders...

I've been in taxis, buses, and private vehicles which drive nearly in contact with the motorbike ahead of them, no matter if children aboard or not. Presenting that kind of danger should allow the tailgated motorbike driver or a passenger to turn and open fire on the maniac behind the wheel. That'll get 'em a car length or two to brake.

If the court determined the women were not truthful in their testimony, and the men were innocent of the charges, then the women are not "victims".

I understand that there are a lot of single Chinese men. I don't see how walking around in these captive tour groups does them much good.

There is nothing like seeing the neighborhoods and facilities first hand. Might be a long walk down a side soi. Book a 3-day stay in a reasonable hotel. Have a list of 4 or 5 serviced apartments or condotels in your budget range. Hire a driver and check out the locations of each. Then inspect your top two and negotiate, or just grab the one you like. They might look fine online but a murky pool or musty bedroom can ruin your stay.

Hmmm, me thinks...

I took a buyout, made my first trip to Thailand in '98, relocated and took a good job offer. Also took a year off work in '73 to travel and relocated. It happens.

Go Fund me Page is up.

 

Travel insurance to me is not for a guy traveling with a brain cancer.  With a previous documented symptom.

How is any of it related to his travel?

 

So, I am a 30 year alcoholic with liver cancer.  I come to Thailand on holiday and get sicker the insurance should pay??

Many seem totally clueless that possible scams may be involved in some of these cases.

Think outside the box folks..  

No pay seems correct.

He's from Canada. Free health care. Why would you travel to a foreign country just to scam an insurance company for care there or a flight home, especially if you know you have brain cancer that needs immediate attention?

I'm 78 and have been smoking a pipe for 57 years. I just found out I have cancer. No, the doctors say my heart and lungs are fine. I have a spot of skin cancer from too much sun while doing all my swimming. I guess I'll live a healthy, happy life and smoke my pipe in the shade.
