Yeah, a freelancer online told me, she regularly made 5,000 baht a pop. (Pun intended.) 😆

Who enjoyed her services for such a sum; Elon Musk??

Are they hot, and are they even Russian? Many of these 'Russian' working girls seem to come from Usbekistan...

But even they are rapidly losing market share in their main market, China... Trying to, partly, compensate in the U.S. market is only natural.

Yes, and getting older, what is BTS's justification to offer discounts only to Thai seniors?

Sorry, but my experience in Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Malaysia has been completely different, so, yes, Thailand does stand out...

'Thailand always #1', so, what else is new? 😆

Haha... That's exactly what I thought, when I watched them sitting there. 😆

Never seen any cops actually on Soi Bangla when staying in Patong. They seem to keep to the two ends of the Soi.

And this despite a stronger baht, and, probably, cheaper imports...

Thanks.

Thanks.

Exactly, Germany is the 'Sick Man of Europe' again, thanks to Merkel's and Scholz's mismanagement over the past 20 years. Doubtful that a Merz government will be able to turn that around.

Okay. They seem to presume that tourists know that... Guess, they share such agent bribes among all IOs. 😆

Thanks, great advice! Do they need a TM30 from my hotel?

Just returned from overseas. Need a new SIM card. Do I buy the card first, then sign up for a year-long top-up tariff, or should I look for a SIM card that has a one-year duration? (Budget: 220 to 300 baht top-up each month, need mostly for internet and app sign-ups. Speed not important.)

My question, too. For foreigners most probably, but my guess is only for exiting.

When I was younger and lived in London, I frequently drank that stuff, cause I thought it was THE Australian beer. Later, when I travelled to AUS, I hardly saw it on shelves. Instead I got addicted to Aussie red wine... 😎

Not smart, anyway. Who in their right mind would think that he can just take them on the plane... At least he could have tried to get permissions from both governments, then ship them by sea.

Did he get them in Cambodia, perhaps?

I lived in China 2015-2017; already then things didn't seem so great. Empty WalMart outlets, with a good number of pick-pockets, but few customers, despite cheap imported products (e.g. 1L milk from UK, Italy, AUS, NZ for 10 yuan or less). Young women stealing vegetables from F&V stores, then chased by the guards. Restaurants empty most of the time, people not having much money or work, many high-rise buildings almost empty... Xi only made it worse with his biological weapon and the lockdown back home. I wouldn't bet that the CCP regime will survive more than another 20 years, at best.

Just saw a large number of ads on FB, agents offering the DTV, 'taking care of documents and bank balance'... Is that legit?

Well, if the chicks at the airport wanted a bribe, they could just give me a hint, but almost refusing me, being here only for a few hours, just travelling from Suvarnabhumi to Don Muang to catch another flight... 🤔

What is the earliest day, I can extend my 60-day VFE for 30 days at Chaengwattana?

If all they care is the Chinese, perhaps it's time to find friendly countries that like all tourists... 😆
