So those establishments can legally let out short stay rooms and nothing other owners can do about it?
I believe that to be the case however there have been cases of condos calling themselves 'condotels' without a licence, as always, DYOR and good luck.

Just trying to understand this...……..so a building consisting of condominiums can be registered as a hotel, therefore can let rooms on a short stay basis, as in a Condotel?
Can't find it now, but did see somewhere on TV where a poster had quoted a section from the hotel act which stated that guest house type accommodation with under 4 rooms did not need to be registered as a hotel?
Yes. Usually because some developers kept a large % of rooms for themselves and knew they had to get a 'hotel licence' to let them out under 30 days. A rose by any other name... if they have the licence then they are classed as a hotel and, cleverly actually, called themselves 'Condotel' so they could sell some rooms.

But that is a lot different than some private person renting out rooms in their house. And the article(s) keep saying "their rooms". exactly which rooms are they referring to? Do private dwelling houses, or blocks of hotel rooms that some foreigners and even Thais have rented at a discount and then sub rent out at a higher rate included?
Ok Let's be specific. You are required to have a Hotel License to rent out rooms below 30 days. Condotels have thought ahead and are usually registered as a Hotel. I doubt anyone is interested in private houses as they don't really compete against hotels as condos do and owners specifically buy condos to rent out. I have several condos and I won't rent them out under a one year lease but I know several owners that do and:
- they use my staff (condo staff) for paperwork, keys, questions, directions and all the rest and pay nothing for this extra service
- there customers are all over the pool, litter, noisy and generally a pain
- new security PINs have to be entered into the system
- Security guards do not know them leading to them ignoring strangers in the condo as there are so many
- maintenance get called for all sorts of issues the owner should deal with - but they are absent
- they do not know the building rules and break them (i.e. non-access areas like rooftops, parking, common area etc.)
If you are a condo owner, and are not in business, you will be against short term lettings. If you are an owner who wants to maximize your investment you will argue for short term lettings and you will break the law to do so. I am a condo owner and I stay with the law.

Yes, I thought was good too. Actually I should have been clearer with my question.
I wanted to know if series three was out yet, it's scheduled for transmission sometime in 2018, but I don't know when specifically. I've since checked tpb and cant' see it yet.
Ah sorry I don't know. Watched on Netflix and they say 'end of the year'.

Is that the Crown series three you're raving over?
Haven't got to 3 but the first 2 were really good - huge casts - and Winston was so well played.

Yes I am a Brit.
congrats! did you buy the mug? tea towel maybe? try to understand that most Brits are uninterested but I DO GET that some like to live a fantasy life through others. Personally I lead a well-traveled and interesting life and don't need that but it takes all sorts. Enjoy it.

Men have been feminizing their appearance in order to enhance their appeal to other men since time immemorial. In the process, they use skin creams, depilators, hair styles, cosmetic surgery, make up, jewelry and dress, adopting feminine mannerisms, gaits, and speech as well. So who's to say when feminization crosses some threshold and a feminized man ceases to be homosexually attractive to another man because he has become too feminine?
Further, gay burlesque and female impersonation has deep roots in gay culture. I see modern day ladyboys as a continuation of that gay tradition, merely taking advantage of modern surgical techniques to further augment their feminization. No doubt there are ladyboys who feel like they are 'a woman trapped in a man's body', but some just enjoy having sex with men (or enjoy getting paid to have sex with men), and dressing up as a woman is little more than a means to that end.
The reasoning that 'physical appearance of the partner determines one's sexual orientation' ignores the powerful psychological component of same sex attraction (irrespective of physical appearance). I believe that in same sex relationships a big part of the psychological bond is that the other person is the same sex as you. And the forming of that psychological bond based on knowing the person is the same sex as you is as important as physical appearance in determining one's sexual orientation. In other words, in my view, if you knowingly have sex with another man (irrespective of their physical appearance), on a psychological level, and quite likely on a physical level, there is a homosexual element in play.
Isn't it obvious that guys who have sex with guys dressed as women are closet homosexuals?

Apparently, 1.9 billion lemmings were sufficiently interested to tune in and watch it on TV....,.Troll!
1.9 billion? many posters have tried to correct you and you fail. miserably, to see anyone's point. Are you English? I am and I have my right to think what I please about this pc wedding.

That's really beyond sad! Tell us again with your hand on your heart that you really and truly don't understand the interest in this wedding. If nothing else the wedding has generated huge amounts of money for UK business, and created a fun and festive occasion for a majority of people, not including you of course!
Yes I TRULY don't understand why the lemmings could be interested in a wedding that's nothing to do with them, they don't know the people and is part of the system to keep them downtrodden. The US seems more interested than us Brits. Don't you have a life?

No. A terrible way to look at it is because certain crimes may have a political dimenison that they shouldn't be investigated.
Do you think President "Lock her up" Trump's opposition to the investigation is based on principle?
No I don't but she got away with it and they hound him for political reasons. I don't like Trump but I have grown to loathe the Dems who I once supported. I would now vote for neither (if I had a vote).

Meanwhile in Africa...

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why anyone would be interested in this 'wedding for the elite'. But I do accept, as a Brit, that many downtrodden see it as 'at least someone lives the fairytale'. Better say no more.
