What does Thailand expect that young people with no savings on a long term visa don't need to eat and pay things?? Of course they do things and because a workpermit is very difficult to get with all the paperwork they will do illegal.. Maybe time to review the Labour laws.. Stealing jobs from Thai is impossible as Thailand imports a lot of Myanmar. Cambodian and Malaysian workers to work here, as Thai only want to be boss and don't do the work by themselves

They are renting villas between them, I know of one villa 12 of them living there

"Is Title owned by Russians does anybody know?"

Not afaik. But quite a few Russians staying there.

Seems to have quietened down recently, I spoke with a girl in Amazon she said it's slowing down

What about the old,retired Russians.

They are the worst, they go back to the days of the old USSR, 

I think I said earlier in the thread, I bought some of them beans not realizing the price increase, I only opened one can the other day I swear it's half empty of beans, I was making my dinner, but the next can I'm going to drain the sauce off and see how much beans in the can, they can <deleted> off I'm buying no more especially with the increase in price being that much, 

Some or most are miserable they are hard work, only today I said to a Russian couple their first time in Thailand, "You smile" they smile, why so serious,

I see them now offering Iranians free one year Visas.  They really seem to love Iran people here.

Right now they don't even get a visa on arrival,

Next generation of luk khrueng gonna be interesting...

Sergeï Suppanathep and Varaporn Kalashnikov !

Give me a break.

 

You dont see many Russians with Thai women, very rare, 

You better get used to it they are taking over, or are they being paid to be here? when you look at the amount of new restaurants that have opened in last 12 months, 

We went out last night for a few beers and something to eat, in a well known place it was full of Russians, I know the place is not owned by Russians, 

In Rawai they have taken over a large area on the beach front, Is Title owned by Russians does anybody know? 

Is that the best Iran can do? it's not going to happen

I think what will happen one day is people will develop ways to rent property without government being involved, as it should be. No different than buying food at a street food stall. 

All the government want is their Tax on the rental income, If they were to collect TAX would that make all STR properties legal?

They are wrong to do so, just like the media and many on here. Airbnb is not illegal, only the owners, a bit like saying the car rental company is at fault if you break the speed limit. 

 

A 2018 court ruling in Hua Hin declared that renting out a unit for less than 30 days without having a Hotel License violated the Hotel Act and was therefore illegal. For several months after that, many people were arrested and fined for listing their condominium units on AirBnB.

https://www.juslaws.com/articles/renting-out-a-condominium-on-airbnb-in-thailand#:~:text=As of 2018%2C AirBnB has,stays longer than 30 days.

I just read this on that legal site, 

If some condominium owners want to play it safe and rent freely on a nightly or weekly basis, they can ask the juristic person to apply for a Hotel License for the entire condominium. However, the requirements for obtaining a Hotel License are considerable.

Imagine any other county reporting this kind of news over a holiday period.

Today Blackpool reported no road deaths. 

Does anybody got to Blackpool these days?
