They are trying to scam tourist before they even arrive, with this new TDAC,

My woman wasn't fake,

So what would a 9th floor fall look like?

Well, I've been to many places in my life I dont think I've every come across a place you're not getting scammed, even my own city, I once stayed in hotel for the weekend and on the night time I'll go downtown for a few drinks and get a taxi, leave the car at the hotel, the taxi I told him where I wanted to go, what does he do? turned the opposite way out of the hotel, hey dickhead where are you going? he would have had to go half way around the city center to get to where I wanted to be,

I guess most of them drivers don't own their own car, they only rent per day I think, on Grab they have to own the car and it has to be less than 8 years old, different insurance and different tax disk, not so easy for a lot of guys I think,

I had a similar situation last weekend here in Phuket, we had family down here for a few days from Bangkok and Korat, obviously they want to go sightseeing, They wanted to go to a big tourist attraction Im not mentioning any names but I already knew it was double the price, when my wife was looking to book they had a special offer for Thai people but none for a farang, My Thai relatives couldn't believe it, it wasn't a couple hundred baht, it was over a 1000 baht difference. I just looked on their web site and they have the Thai price written in Thai, ๘๓๗ บาท, I didn't go,

They should become members ASEANNOW save them a fortune,

Somebody must be missing him,

People in Spain and the Spanish island have been demonstrating about they dont want tourist, and they blaming the likes of Airbnb's

In the past Thailand has got involved, stopping people on their way out, do you remember Warren Fellows? all them years back,

British 'drugs mule', 21, speaks from behind bars in Sri Lanka hellhole prison to reveal HER side of the story - and says she hasn't eaten for two days because jail food 'is too spicy' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14731235/British-woman-Sri-Lanka-drug-smuggling-eaten-jail-food-spicy.html

She is now saying she has not got a clue how it ended up in her suitcases, somebody must planted it there when she went out from a drink the night before her flight,

The Spanish government ordered Airbnb to remove nearly 66,000 listings from its platform, widening a crackdown on tourist rentals as it seeks to alleviate a housing crisis that has become among the worst in Europe. Read more: https://nyti.ms/4jetJAO

I was born in the Army, my old man was a RSM and a <deleted>, I thought violence was a way of life, I have no good memories of him, I have memories of finding my mother with her head in the gas oven I managed to save her life and turn the gas off maybe around 6 years old, all he did when he came in give her a good kicking. He would give out constant beatings, I found out many years later I did pass my 11+ exam but he told me I failed, my mother told me years later, I never said anything because he would have known my mother told me, I was quite good at school an involved in all the sports especially the football teams, I was a musician I could play all sorts of brass band instruments, he took no interest at all, in anything I did. He eventually did us all a favour and died of a terrible death, The strange thing is, after all the beatings and kickings he gave my mother she stayed with him until he died, mad world I never understood that,

16 of them on a site, Thai's will have grassed them up, that would have been common knowledge around the area,

The Juristic office were a bit sloppy there, We have an apartment we rent out, a while ago the tenant blocked the toilet, the tenant went to the juristic office to get a plumber, they wouldnt just send anyone until they had spoken to my wife, and we had to go there and authorize them to fix it. same if they lose a keycard, they wont issue a new one to the tenant, my wife has to go to get it, They have a Line chat group where they can message my wife, I have to say they are well organized, And they change all the entrance and door codes every year.

My daughter recently went to Morocco from the UK was all inclusive 5 star family resort, Thailand has nothing like that, she is able to have 2 or 3 holidays per year less than what it would cost her to come to Thailand.

Over the years we have drove from Phuket to Bangkok a few times always stopping in HH on the way back overnight, I've never seen it busy, we normally stay in a hotel on the main road as you are heading out of HH I cant think of the name, but it is owned by Sansiri, it's a good hotel nice rooms, If you think HH is bad then don't go to Cha Am it's like a morgue, we only did that once.

I knew a guy a few years back now, got himself a carer full time, she was able to live in and he gave her a car, food included, he wasn't that bad and was able to get to hospital when needed, all she had to do was keep the house clean and cook and make sure he took his medicine, As I said he wasn't that bad or didn't appear to be, but all of a sudden he died one morning, no drama's

Somebody told me years ago that Thai's get some heroin, in the north of Thailand get on the Opium, I don't know how true that is,

What again? they tried that twice before, look what happened,

Back then nobody cared,

Malaysia,

It's definitely down this year, I know quite a few people in the tourism business and restaurants, you only need to drive around and see the amount bikes and scooters lined on the forecourts for rent, it's loads just in my area, Last night around 11pm at a condo project the car park was empty, it wasn't that bad during covid,

For the last 2 years in May the weather has been good, very hot, I know because my daughter has been here so I remember it well, we are in the south of Phuket, it's different this year a lot more rain,
