Many, many roasters in Bangkok, you can buy straight after roasting if you are into the above video.

My take is Bottomless, great stuff

Awesome comment by the mayor and always a priceless source of entertainment.

Anyways i still do believe Pattaya has huge potential IF the government finally legalizes gambling.

Casinos will be a perfect fit and just like in Singapore the whole gambling indusrty can be regulated to fleece only foreigners and protect locals from losing all their money.

Love Thai Visa with the hearsay and rumors....

Nana & Black Panther from Wakanda (or not ;0) the stuff of legends.

I am sure some many old timers will be able to tell the stories & history of Nana area & Lek Nana and how it all became what it is today.

Fico Corporation is easy to find, as is Panthera. These are not public companies, not everything needs to be advertised.

The future of Nana Plaza is pretty clear: Redevelopment into either a hotel, or more likely, a luxury condominium......

What a ridiculous offer. It works out to 2739 baht a night if you stayed the full 365 days. 83,333 a month for a 35sqm studio with no kitchen. You could literally walk next door and get a similar sized condo with full amenities for less than 20,000.

 

Not to mention there are multiple 5-star hotels in the area currently offering lower nightly rates.

Yes, this is all for media exposure and desperately trying to get some kind of cash flow.

Let's see how many packages they are actually able to sell.

With limited travel and all, no one needs to pre-book a room for an entire year and condos offer a much better deal.

Are these the same guys that couldn't see prostitutes in Pattaya. Oh no, that was a different group.

Nothing to see here.....

Giving the proximity and increasing importance of China, studying Mandarin will be much more prioritized in the years to come.

I would say the average Thai not involved in the Tourism industry has very little incentive to learn English.

One can lead a happy Thai life without speaking a word of English to the annoyance of native speakers who still take it for granted that they are understood and able to communicate in their mother tongue around the globe. 

There was a Tonino Lamborghini Bar in Bangkok once, on Ekamai, and - well - it is permanently closed.

This is basically a hotel development with branded Lamborghini products ( coffee mugs, towels etc) by a Phuket based real estate & hospitality developer.

Not that exciting really and will probably never happen anyways......

Pointless... I would say less then 1% of their guests are foreigners

They will settle and this will become a quirky news footnote. 

As for damage to Thai Tourism, don't think this will have any impact since the borders remain closed anyways.

However another reason to finally dump Tripadvisor, the forum of the super whingers ????

Well, he is no Sharky, I tell you that......

Anyone knows how things worked out for AJ?

Good guys in bad guys out

So you are travelling, but living here and renting an apartment and now are denied entry.

It never ends and is hopeless

well i got another kind of the same problem ...

muslim speakers at 5 am, every dam_n day...

was not aware until the first couple of nights i came here, probably too tired because of jetlag

is 5 am really an hour to be awaken ...

live in a separated house area (villa) in a gated community

but the mosk is about 500 m away ... they have speakers all over and awake everybody

they don't give a crap about waking up everybody overhere also (about 80 villa's)

something we can do ? complain policy? I guess they are afraid of moslim ...

any suggestions ?

Oh no...damn that mosk (sic)

You should convert and praise the lord at this fine hour my friend.

Start a Gofundme page and if that doesn't help, there was an oldtimer selling sunglasses at he the airport the other day, not sure how that went though,....
