  1. no chance, been hearing it for 20 years...
  2. If i could be bothered ( which i can't ) we could go back and see how long you've been bleating on about casino's coming, can you tell me how many there are pls? Thanks.
  3. What makes you think Phuket sandbox with shut down? If anything it looks like there's becoming more options of going to other islands there after initial 7 days on Phuket. But yes, you are right, definately need to keep an eye on the changes.
  4. Have you done the ASQ in BKK yet? The difference between being locked in a room and being able to roam around phuket freely is huge, it's a no brainer to me.
  5. Do you suggest the people at LK metro / Soi Buakaew are tourists and not 'mostly' long time residents?
  6. Your comment suggests that the landlords would prefer the 50% and now you say they don't need the money, which is it? The rent from these little tin hut bars is a drop in the ocean to what the land value is, many hundreds of years or rent money, even at 100%.
  7. Everyone likes a bargain but if there was not 2 for 1 bars do you suggest they wouldn't pay the high prices on walking street.....i think not.
  8. Perhaps the most annoying accent in all of SEA. Also, their food is mingin.
  9. If the landlords own the land they won't need 50% of the rent.
  10. Generally most people that are holiday don't care what things cost.
  11. thanks, i actually hold a KLM flight, i will investigate.
  12. What airlines are flying BKK - HKT? Do you know anyone that has done this? Thanks.
  13. Can you transit through BKK to get to Phuket or must it be a direct flight? When left i bought my return ticket from Europe to BKK only as the sandbox was not on the go then, am i going to have to throw that away and buy a new ticket direct to HKT? Thanks.
  14. So there is domestic flights right now, thought they were all stopped?
  15. Aurora, that's the fellow. Yes agreed, it's just like currency in Thailand but not easy to sell overseas.
  16. The one i used was in Big C, sure it starts with an A but the name escapes me. For the bigger bars you'll need to order. Best place is China town in BKK but depending on where you live it could be a trek. Most shops will buy each others gold.
  17. Just buy gold blocks, i believe 5 / 10 /20 / and 50 baht weights are available. Don't buy necklaces etc coz you pay for the workmanship. I had a fair bit of gold but sold it all when Brexit happened and made a few quid, i guess people were hedging their bets. Here's and example, in 1999 i recall buying a 3 baht weight chain for the wife at 18-20K baht price, the same chain now would be closer to 70K.
  18. YIp, no one is stuck outside, i've returned 4 times in the last year. You can even come VE.
