Leaver

Maybe best to have staff remove plates very soon after customers have finished.

Would you consider it to be a good investment, knowing the "rug can be pulled" from under you at any time, and your condo is now worth less than what you paid because the condo block has had some internal redevelopment?

Why would you think I rent in Nirun? If you chose a condo here that you like to live in, when you see what they are listed / selling for, do the math, and see that the purchase price left in a fund back home more than covers the rent. Then, you also have to consider life expectancy. What's the point of buying when years and years of renting at an older age end up less month than buying, and you don't leave a headache behind for others.

Totally redundant now with SatNav's and even Google Maps on a phone. What's passing that test truly worth now - zero.

Can you give an example?

Those old hookers are miserable because they got too greedy early in their bar career and thought the gravy train would never end. How many guys have they done over in their bar girl career, and I don't mean in the bedroom? Now, as they are getting on in age, they try be "pleasant: and look for that one farang to settle with, but for many of them, it's all too late.

He's now free to do it again. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-63883431

Kodak shop up from Tukcom. Nice people.

This was the way it used to be. Many bar girls just wanted to be taken out of the bar and have a "normal" life with a farang, in farangland. Indeed, many looked for the opportunity to earn western salaries. These days, it's all about the girl staying in the bar and having multiple guys send money every month, in between holidays with their clients. Why would they do some cooking and cleaning for a farang in a "normal" life when they can party in a bar every night whilst looking for their next victim?

I am happy with yours also.

Huh? Go on the record then. What do YOU give more weight to, TAT's stats, or the observation from people on the ground? Why don't you reply to members who have posted of their observations of quiet businesses here. Will you call them all liars? I started the thread "Is the closure of your favorite bar or restaurant imminent" back then because that's how bad things were here, pre covid. Let me say that again, PRE COVID.. Along came covid, which disrupted the global economy for a few years, but now that covid in all but finished, you seem to think Pattaya's issue of pre covid have all disappeared. That's fine, but where did they go? Obviously, and it shows in your posts. You have skin in the game. Your posts go beyond discussion and border on marketing. Who do you actually think you are selling property ownership in Pattaya to here? Serious question.

Just more real estate talking the market up, mouth fill of marbles under water, waffle from you. Most members on this forum are experienced enough to see through you. I wish you and your partner, whether that be business partner or romantic partner, all the best. You will need it. I already know you are stuck with properties on your books that you can not offload. It shows in the desperation of your posts. Everyone could see it was a bubble. Why didn't you?

Now that's a stupid question. (again)

Where's "here?" Pattaya, or Issan?

When you are over 50, read your post again.

Quite a few, but perhaps it's more about hungry people, rather than "countries that eat dogs." So, if they are not wrong, why was my comment "disgusting" to you?

120 baht for a beer in a NightWish Bar now. It's got to be getting close to over what the market is prepared to pay.

If you will come with 5 million of your friends, then yes. If not, then no.

So why your problem with eating dog? Indians are disgusted to see you eat a cow. What makes you right and them wrong? Muslims are disgusted to see you eat a pig. What makes you right and them wrong? Between the Hindus and the Muslims, that's quite a large percentage of the world's population. What makes you right, and them wrong?

Ahh, yes, patience, otherwise known to Thai's as, shut up farang, and obey, or leave.

Why do you say that? Are you a vegetarian? Why is a dogs life worth more than a chicken's or a cow's?

That photo depicts an opportunity to go through, rather than around. One must use everything at their disposal to their advantage, including lack of size. Something that many members tell bar girls here.

Except for all the murders over loss of "face."

That's never happened, ever, to anyone. The Chinese don't queue.

That's not my experience. My fund is still doing well, and it's not an aggressive profile. It would have to be an absolutely woefully performing fund to earn less than the cost of rent here.
