  1. I can go back 24 years, I landed in Phuket one night got a taxi to take me to the Holiday inn Patong I knew where I wanted to go, then he stopped at some travel shop on the by pass road, they were trying to get me to change hotels, I think that scam still goes on, some place got heavily fined,
  2. Shame the video cut, I thinking he just launched her luggage on the floor, Keep up the good work,
  3. Why not phone the police station and find out, bye the way that area is Rawai
  4. Im guessing the missing foreign tourist could be English there was an article in the Daily Mail the other day
  5. Alexei Navalny is found in ARCTIC penal colony: Kremlin critic, jailed on trumped-up charges of slamming Putin's regime, is discovered caged in Russia's harshest jail dubbed 'Polar Wolf' after being secretly moved from outskirts of Moscow
  6. We are all done and dusted, went to eat at midday, to Central Floresta in Phuket, Turkey, Pulled Pork with Gnocchi and Bacon, I had 2 bottles of Hoegarten no wine this year, Phone call from my daughter and the kids complete chaos in their house,
  7. They kill more people than all the other insects put together
  8. Twice I've had it, the last time was a couple of months back in my case the first time was the worst they kept me in hospital for 5 days my blood count was getting dangerously low I was one day away from being put in ICU, DO NOT TAKE ASPRIN as it thins your blood out, I bought a load of them sachets replenish was drinking them, eating Khao Tom, rice porridge soup,
  9. the dazzling landscapes of Phuket, I have lived here 20 years and I've never seen them, maybe they are talking about soi bangla?
  10. I was thinking that, if people are smoking dope do they stop drinking?
  11. easier said than done, I think most of them drivers from the airport limo companies, rent them by the day so the driver doesn't have a car, if they did have a car it has to be no older than 6 years, something along them lines,
  12. My daughter and her husbands family came here last May and stayed a 5 star hotel in Karon, it was obscene prices for beer and wine, in the two weeks they were here I only about 3 bottles of beer which was supposed to be in happy hour, Other guest were saying the same, guest my daughter got friendly with she must have told them her dad lives here they were asking me what to do, Dont buy from the hotel there is a 7/11 across the road at least go there, and you can buy a small bag of ice from there. Ok we live here but the tourist get spanked, I did read the reviews of that hotel and quite a few guest remarked about the prices, no wonder the place was empty in the evenings, serious they would turn the lights out in the restaurant and bar, that was low season but they still had a few guest, nobody stayed in the hotel in the evening, <deleted> thick,
  13. It has always made laugh in the bars around where I live, but the bar is still empty eventually closes down,
  14. well if like me I buy nowhere near the amount I used to since covid I would say 50% down, most people I know don't go out much as they used to, up to now I have bought nothing like I used to come this time of the year, We will be going out for Christmas dinner I don't really like drinking beer with my dinner not sure what I will do, instead of buying a bottle of wine maybe just a couple of glasses, my wife doesn't drink.
  15. Not in Thailand as you should know when business is down up the prices go
  16. I used to have a neighbour who was Thai, would spend between 10 to 15 thousand baht a month on lottery tickets on top of that play cards in the local gambling dens,
  17. Thats a serious amount of cash, is it not about time they legalized gambling in the land of scams?
  18. That's more like it, 6 years he's a professional overstayer, I'm sick of reading about these guys getting caught after a couple of months
  19. They have brought it on themselves but wont change, Im just looking on the app, from Rawai to the airport 570 baht, them clowns want a 1000 baht, tourist are go for the cheapest options while they are staying here. A 1000 baht a tourist can rent a car for less
  20. I hope the hotels or whatever are investigated for at least allowing such things on their properties,
