This what 100,000 people look like and the TAT say 105,000 TOURISTS enter Thailand every day of the year!!

That pic looks about right. There are A TON of daily flights and then you have a zillion buses

The question is what will you do after the juicing.

Ignore store sales. Lazada always the cheapest

Would the same solution apply to the sex industry in Thailand?   LOL 555

Bullets.. Not tranquilizers! 

Numbers of tourists setting foot in Thailand may well be up but what  about the hotel night count? 3.5 million Chinese spending four nights is effectively worth 1 million Europeans spending two weeks. But the Russians seem to be replacing the Swedes, Brits and Aussies as the new long-term stayers.

 

I have to say Phuket had a slow start to high season but it appears pretty busy now, with Karon and Kata resembling a little Moscow.

Lots of bikes usually on Craig's list but it would mean a trip to bangkok. No big deal as you can take it back via train

If I was stuck in Cambodia I to would go to extremes to get out. His mistake was trying to get back in.. God knows what he was thinking, maybe he ran out of meds

You might not believe it.. and like you i love my aircon but my brother was here on a holiday and they never used the aircon that was available in their rooms for free. They got sick from it did not like it. So there are truly people who don't like the aircon. I don't believe its always an excuse. 

Have 2 aircon, one in the bedroom however I rarely use it and installed a ceiling fan directly over my bed instead of the middle of the room and it's cool even on low setting

I use the TV room aircon around 16 hours a day for around 120 baht per day, the cost of a Pint.
I didnt work all my life to suffer the bangkok heat without ac when I need it but I do no know expats that never use AC but it's always always about the money and yes the "but I don't like AC" is a convenient excuse and I don't believe it for a single minute [emoji16]

The world would be a better place if slapping was legal

Probably his last big adventure

@CMnight rider

Yes the desperate scammers without a bean to their name were rorting the system. Mostly poor pensioners

There should be a glut of 4k fan rooms hitting the market. Who knows maybe you can pick one up for 3500 baht, [emoji23]

Keep us posted!

Duh! But the worst part of it is the fact that he is using tax payer money to campaign.

There are also a lot of Official cover ups concerning the burning of toxic waste from Commercial Enterprises.
I was in Pattaya just yesterday, and the smell of burning PVC from electrical wiring was pungent in the air.
Living about 20 Km from Pattaya, and in the Countryside, I witness the dumping and burning of large amounts of waste that is considered to be of toxic nature by so called " Companies" that are waste recycle business,s.
This issue has been bought before the Local Administration Office by myself, and numerous other residents of the Village, and nothing is done to prevent either the dumping or burning.
Now, I photograph the perp,s and tell them that if I see them in my my location again, I will take the photos to the Local Admin Office, and they will be prosecuted and fined 2,000 Baht.
This approach seems to be working for me, and the burning at least has drastically reduced.
However, I must point out that I am  6Ft 5 In and am about 115 Kg, so if you take this course of action also take a friend or two with you

Last week Bangkok Bank lady warned me that their MC is not a full MC, won't work for online shopping, some Thai shops, or overseas. I've closed my account there now. 

You say that the 4 embassies yanked a carpet.  No the way I read it, Thailand changed the rules.  They no longer wanted just the affidavit, they demanded the embassies verify the income and the four countries chose not to get involved in a process for another country's requirement that put them in a position as an auditor.  The process for an O non immigrant visa requires a 65K baht monthly income.  If the person is just arriving in Thailand, and Thailand refuses to view his bank statement from his native country, that is an impossibility.  As I see it, and I still have even one person address this, HOW IS A PERSON SUPPOSED TO OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT IN THAILAND WITHOUT A 1 YEAR VISA.  i have been to five banks including two branches of SCB, and Krungsri banks ALL OF THEM REFUSED TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITHOUT A 1 YEAR VISA and that was even with my Fiance who is Thai having an account at SCB.  Further, the $800 baht has to be aged for 3 months. The bank told me this as did the immigration office in Jomtien.  The first 0 visa is only for 90 days.  So even if a person was able to secure an account as the same day they received their O Visa and deposit the same day it would not be aged.  IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE ONLY THING THAT THAILAND DID WAS TO PUT PEOPLE IN A CATCH 22.  They can no longer get an income verification at the 4 embassies, they can not open a bank account in Thailand without a Visa and they can't get a Visa without a bank account.  Perhaps those posting opened accounts some years ago when the banks were less restrictive.  The answer find a friendly branch does not cut it.  As stated, I went to 5 banks and 7 branches and all were the same. NO 1 YEAR VISA, NOT ALLOWED TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT. 

10 years and only three 7/11 attempts at squeezing a few hundred baht
Bought high ticket items and condos to.

Had my wallet returned several times over the years

Less idiots in the gene pool

No Wai! It's idiotic when I see farang greeting hookers that way [emoji16]! and why the language? I live on lower Sukhumvit and occasionally visit Pattaya, phuket and chiang mai and never once in ten years had failed communication

However if your poor and forced to live in nahkon nowhere then you better bloody well learn the language but better to not be poor IMO.

I’ve used agents for the last decade and pay for short cuts anywhere and everywhere I can. Why? My time is valuable and I’m not going to spend it dealing with idiots at immigration or with anyone else in this country who has the potential to slow me down or get in my way.
