    I have been a long time customer of Jon Fox and his daughter who run their car rental business with friendly professionalism and integrity. If you are based in Jomtien or Pattaya and need to rent a vehicle, short or long term, I highly recommend QCars. Easily found on Google.

    Generally English language based with foreign teachers and western curriculum. Some provide extremely good education. Many hi-so Thai families send their kids to these schools. Unfortunately if daddy owns a company the kids often aren't motivated to learn. Instead, disruption.

    Hmmm.. I read it as a 180 day visa with a 5 year validity. Once used, you could apply for another (don't need to wait the 5 years). This is how other visas work I think?

    Other visas 'validity' means the time you have to use the facility. eg if you enter using the visa then when your time's up, the visa is used and you can apply for a new one. I think..

    Oh the irony! Yesterday here in KL I just paid MYR 160 (THB 1250) for a 60 day tourist visa. Flying back to Bkk on Sunday (June 2nd)... So I would get 60 days visa exempt anyway 🤦

    You bought a house on your credit card and then told the bank to eff off? Awesome.

    Catholic women? 😂😂😂 I've had many Filipina gf over the years, several long term. They can be incredibly kinky sexually liberated ladies.. when all that repression in their childhood gets released. Agree on the food. My LTGF learnt to cook Thai.

    If you have the housebook and ID of the house owner you can register them online yourself. Then login and submit your TM30 online. It's really a piece of cake and the entire process took me 30mins.

    😀 For 20 years - Beach Club in Kuala Lumpur. Sadly now closed, due to tough times of the pandemic. This was the ultimate freelancer bar, with great food and live bands. Sharks in a tank behind the bar. Girls dancing on tables in a packed floor. Good times.

    This is a good point. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the source of his wealth.. is it family money? Business interests?.. Thanks in advance.. Cheers

    I hate those things. Always order at the counter. Last week at Burger King Pattaya I realised why they have become popular - so the restaurant can employ people with lower English skills.

    A highly valid sentiment.

    I already have someone to read me bedtime stories.

    Given the popularity of both Durian and alcohol in Thailand, I would want to see empirical evidence of the risk of joint consumption. If there is none, I will carry on as before.

    Nevertheless, in the real world, it's good advice.

    Respect his love of Thailand and let him RIP here.

    This flowery AI generated content totally disengages me. Sad.
  18. SportRider
    I suppose we are going to see more and more AI generated here. That's a pity.

    I agree with this post. Go in with your eyes open. Know the cost. Enjoy the fun. Don't carry more cash than you're prepared to spend.

    Wait, you can get concubines from Shein?

    Herewith lies the path to madness... How to properly pronounce "Pattaya". Like the majority of tourists and some esteemed Youtubers? Or prententiously like the Thais, only to be looked at in confusion by said tourists. 🤔

    Money well spent?

    Yes raw numbers are not very informative. They should divide by population and give us a hookers-per-thousand-people statistic. The league table will change.

    Revolut is great. Multiple accounts in any currency you like. Instant creation of electronic debit cards and link to any currency. Make 'burner' cards for one-time online purchases. Add a card to Google Wallet. So to answer the question - tap my phone. 😄😄

    Likely an individual seat or one row not reclining, next to emergency exit. Last month I tried the FlyDubai service from UTP to Dubai. Paid extra for more legroom. Only to discover the seats don't recline because it's an emergency exit row! For a 7 hr flight 🤬 Luckily the flight wasn't full and I moved. Didn't bother to claim back the fee for my 'special' seat booked.
