Pattaya Hua Hin ferry
Actually, I who visit Pattaya regularly, would love to take a small side-trip on a ferry to HH. Last time I visited HH was when driving, with a friend from Patts - BKK - Phuket. We did a "comfort stop" at HH and I thought I'd like to spend a couple of days there. Just don't fancy the bus to BKK and then HH and back. 😩

Embrace life now we are old
I don't think I'd have waited to be asked.... In the words of Groucho Marx "I don’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member."

I never knew about the original, 1964 version which came from the "Sykes" TV show. I always thought the 1967 one with Tommy Cooper was the original Now have all 3 in my collection. As you say @Crossy many late lamented British comedy stars - between these 3 a real collection. Thanks 👍👍

That's an interesting angle. A sine of your thought processes perhaps.......or am I going off at a tangent?

Fury grows over Tory visa rules where ‘only the rich’ dare fall in love
@RichardColeman I quite agree with what you say, especially your first sentence! There is a "however" though. I have NOT looked this up to confirm, but there used to be an alternative for those, like yourself, who are not earning but are financially "comfortable". That was the option to show one's savings instead of income. So if you have, as you say, minimal outgoings, but own a property outright, have savings and basically "do not need hand-outs" that may, or rather should be, a route.

You seem to have a formula for these. Now I don't mean to be divisive, or subtract anything from your total, but are you sure they add up? 🧮

Travel insurance advice - common misperception.
I have annual insurance via my bank account in UK. Their standard is to allow 30 days per trip, but you can extend it to 60 on payment of a supplement which I do. My next trip in February will be for 59 days total absence from UK. Plus, because it's annual cover my already bought ticket is covered immediately.

German documentary reignites sex tourism concerns for Thailand’s Pattaya
I think ever week be more appropriate. Actually Walking St has one every morning between 2 and 4 AM. Attended by as many drunks and reprobates as one could possibly imagine 😜 See you there?

Odd Habits of Bargirls
Can i fix that for you? ......................and the lonely stupid guys who get fixated on a lady and send her money after they go home. So, some ladies go home for a few months after New Years, until the lonely stupid guys snap out of it. Better? 😉😂

Korean Man Threatens Balcony Jump, Deceived by Thai Woman in Pattaya
Spot on! Especially "A lot of guys fall in love with the idea of being in love." In my younger, less cynical realistic days I could have been found guilty of that. If you start out with "pay for play", chances are that you're dealing with a "bad" woman. Trouble is, bad women are SO much fun! 😎

Been there, done that as my earlier comment about rolling back code might have suggested 😎 Fun, ain't it?

Clear notifications button
I sent a message to Support on the subject and the reply I got was "Work in progress, huge task will take time. and everything has its priority." I suspect (but don't know) that some of the code had to be rolled back for whatever reason - I guess we all "chill" for a while longer.

Chinese tourists still prefer Thailand despite visa exemptions
So you're saying that TAT don't know if they're coming or going? Sounds about right....... 😆 And comparing holiday in Thailand with one in Kazakhstan? Now let me see....... 🙄

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part I
People convince themselves of all manner of stupidity.....frequently known as conspiracy theories! But you're right - the average tourist won't even know about all this, let alone care.
