Young Israeli women have done 2 years in the IDF, talk about arrogant, I love a woman in a uniform,

I ask myself can these condo's get any smaller?, not that I want one, they put that glass partition then call it a one bedroom, when I did live in Bangkok many years ago I did rent an apartment, what I found when I was looking is the older places were better and bigger, much better construction, I would imagine buying one now empty and completely refurbish and refurnish could make it look smart,

Sunday morning I went to check a friend of mine apartment, normally you cannot park inside, but Sunday it was half empty, also the section for bikes was the same, I think this is going to be a real low season,

Thailand is pricing itself out of business, especially here in Phuket the cost of accommodation is stupid now, Around the area I live you can see the difference it's going quiet, Ive spoke to a few people recently and they all say the same thing, it's quiet,

Thai people don't care, Thailand is the center of the Universe, people will always come to Thailand,

They could start by increasing the height of balcony railings to stop drunk farangs falling over,

That's on a quiet day, High season I was told 10,000 visitors a day,

Years ago I remember a farang and his Thai wife opening a restaurant here in Rawai, the place was nothing fancy, sure enough they had 2 menu's a farang one and a Thai one, I don't know why but I noticed it right away, I think I was pointing to something to my wife when I clocked the price difference, ok it was only 20 Baht, When I said to the woman serving us, what's this? this the farang menu? I was making a joke about it, but she got the real hump I guess because she got found out, I didn't actually say anything to anyone, but it seem like others did as the place didn't last long, I mean a few months,

It's gone crazy, I noticed yesterday on FB somewhere near where I live, will be opening an new restaurant, Im not going to mention any names, they will be charging 1900 baht for all you can eat buffet dinner, we are out in the middle of Rawai not down town Bangkok, Update; I've just been out for a coffee I think I know where it will be, it's in a busy spot with no parking, what's so ever, It's a big problem in this area now,

If you are arriving in Thailand on 1 May, you can now submit your digital arrival card (tdac.immigration.go.th). You can complete it on your smartphone even while waiting in the immigration queue. No smartphone? No problem. Use one of the TDAC kiosks provided at the airport.

I bet there is a few people have breathed a sigh of relief at that news

I never did believe her, she wasnt exactly dragged kicking and screaming on to that Lolita express, and her trip to Chiang Mai, would be interesting to know which nice 5 star hotel she stayed in,

If Randy Andy had been a member of Thai Visa in them days he would have got off with that, we could have a built a case for his defense,

I have seen many tourist complain about the amount of dogs down the beach area's having a dump everywhere,

Why are they worried? Thai's never wanted them and they never stopped complaining about the Chinese, so now they have got what the wanted, Now they can start complaining about the Russians,

E-cigarette users could also face charges of receiving smuggled goods..

Vapes didnt stop me smoking, No need to worry I stopped smoking altogether

They should ban them Vapes, and lock the bastards up who are selling them, You have not got a clue what is in them, Yes I have tried them they worse than smoking cigarettes, My wife and a couple of her friends tried to convince me that using vapes was a way to stop smoking, I gave them a try, they will kill you they gave me pains in my chest,

Upto a few weeks ago I got some receipts I remember throwing them in the bin at home, but I didn't look at them, ok tomorrow we usually go early morning I'll check,

There is a hotel on the road from Chalong to Central it's only about 4 or 5 years old, they catered for the Chinese tour companies always a few buses parked up there, Closed Down for a while now, I often drive along the beach road in Rawai early morning about half way a long there is a boat company and usually hoardes of Chinese waiting there to go on boat trips, hardly see anyone now, I saw a couple in Starbucks yesterday, all these buffet restaurants that only catered for Chinese will be closed down, Im sure, It is noticeable when out shopping and in Central the lack of Chinese,

I was told he had a lovely room with a view,

Im all for that, sling them all out, all they do is complain about America but want to study here, get back to your own tin pot ghetto's, well done Trump,

I know 3 guys who do very well at You Tube, one of them has over 2 million subscribers so he is making a lot of money and all he talks about is football, then another guy he goes to different towns and city's everyday and does a walk about highlighting homeless and drug problems in the areas, Maybe you could do a podcast with all the drop outs here on AN?,

I dont know what you are doing to cause it to stick, My wife always does the cooking and we just have some old rice cooker it never sticks I know because Im the one who usually washes it, whatever rice she buys she always washes it I see her do that.

In January prices will be higher, Most of the online booking sites have the option how far in advance you want to open your calendar, most people don't realise they have that option, these resorts will be using a Channel Manager and might never log into sites like Booking.com, It's impossible for a resort to operate a multi booking platform without a channel manager program, it depends on how many platforms they are listed on,
