He's been here for 5 years and doesn't know the consequences .... not having that. Anybody on overstay should know that. Pay the fee for leaving but big problems for him if he comes back on the same pasport.

NST zoo is one of the saddest places I have been to. Big cats in cages far too small, herbivores with no grass, primates in confined spaces, birds that have no space to fly and crocs in crowded small pools. She saw her chance and 'legged it'' (same as last year if I remember correctly). Go Nadia ................................... and keep well away from the human race.

Per usual Thai Visa .... a story but never any back up. The guys car is still laid up behind Maenam police station as it has been since the incident. What is happening, I am not sure. The rest I shall leave to the TV detectives.

Who can remember when Don Muang used to have a herd of cows/buffaloe grazing away in the middle of the two runways which also doubled as a golf course? That was when all the international flights used to fly into there. A small python, lol.

You can find 'entertainment' in pretty much every crook and cranny of the country.

not true, for new hosts Booking.com charges 15% , Agoda 20% ( if old host it was 15%) travel now 15%
THAN if the link came form an affiliate of (booking,agoda)they pay out 6% to the affiliate
on the other hand airbnb ONLY charges the host 3%
for 99% of the hotels online they can NOT offer a lower price than what it sold to the hotel suppliers ( agoda) as they have a contract stating they wont. SOMETIMES u can get a lower rate not not often.
Depends on a number of factors: location, type, contract and room rate. Commisions vary between 10% and can go up to as much as 35% for some 5* hotels. For example: 15% is the standard rate charged by BDC but some locations will have a higher rate simply because they are popular destinations and/or the competition for bookings is higher. And vice versa. The commision amount can also be changed by the hotels themselves. The higher the commision, the more prominent the listings.

You do realize that each time you book with one of those sites, 18+% goes straight to them. Example, say you make a B10,000 booking, at least B1,800 goes to Agoda/BDC etc for basically sending an email. Booking direct with your chosen hotel is far better in my opinion. You cut out the middleman, any problems that may arise are much easier to work out (see post 5) and most times you can get a discount too. JMHO.

Hire companies prefer their customers to use a non-British licence as it is easier for them to process.

bot interested by your problems, raise the price if you want, we will go somewhere else.
Raise the price or no customers, what do you prefer ?
I don't know how old you are or high your IQ is but with your way of thinking .... I have a feeling that the numbers are not very high.

As someone in the business, my rooms are priced in such a way that factor in the AVERAGE stay of a guest. That includes air-con while in the room, hot water, maid service, maintainance, laundry, wear 'n' tear and other sundries. If you start having guests exploiting the AVERAGE guest stay, costs will only go up (picture the cost of 50+ air-con units on 24hrs) and those costs can only be retrieved by increasing the price the guest pays. So, to the OP, what would you prefer, higher room rates or the ability it circumnavigate the hotels' cost saving measures (while you are not in the room) which will only lead to higher rates in the longrun? Not rocket science.

good report, but long time that samui is a dump and that people who really like a quiet beach go to KPG...
Very stupid post: Samui has lots of very quiet beaches. Obviously you are a Chaweng merchant, get around, plenty of beaches that can be had by yourself and nobody else. I hear the 'quiet' KPG beach every month ....

Same old names come up everytime, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Khorat, Pattaya, Phuket, Krabi etc, and then you have the islands. Plenty of other places way off the tourist trail that are much more satisfying then those already mentioned.

A troll or not ...
Can't be bothered reading the whole thread but here is my 2 Satangs worth. I would say that 90+% of the farangs living here can only dream about that much cash (TEFLR's, onliners etc). Pretty much every farang I meet, bar a few are living month to month on their meagre pay checks. 16 million, think about it, set something up where you get a good income and you will be alright. Don't burn your bridges back home, keep a sensible head and you could live here forever. If a TEFLer can live on 360k a year I'm sure you can too. That's 44 years for a TEFLer, but I think you might be a little more intelligent.!

My last car, a Vigo 4 dr was bought by me with no WP and no long term visa (which I had had 3 years previous). It is not what you know, but who you know. BTW, am now on a long term visa (again) with 3 x WP to those who are wanting to disagree! All depends on where you are and who you know IMO.

Advertised at 30k+ plus extras. Gotta make a lot of TEFLers think about a career change!
