Glad I tried plenty of them. I have had some pretty amazing experiences over the years.

so is every comment you have made in this thread.

actually, no. your comparison is ridiculous.

have we now?

If you really want to decry the forum, there are plenty of other places to start. just read through any post about rape, hookers or underage sex. Like here for example -- just another post on AN that leaves you needing a shower.

What? You mean like every other passport photo for the last 10 years?

Only thing you have said today that I agree with.

No, I am not willing to pay multiples over the going rate. -- but I make that clear before I shell out money and accept the product. I don't skulk back later armed with my wife to demand a refund once a deal is struck. It is a pretty asinine place to draw a line in the sand.

Wow you come off like a total <deleted>. I'm actually embarrassed for you. Not the least because you needed your wife to deal with it.

When I arrived in Thailand around 96 Captagon was the drug of choice for mongers that wanted to party all night. At that time you could find MDMA and even Ketamine in the dance scene, but cocaine was rare and meth unheard of.

no there isn't but if im correct and he is referring to fentanyl, then a few times is all you need. much more addictive than heroin, morphine or oxy. Cheaper and deadlier too,

Why he doesn't just come out and say there is fentanyl in the local drug supply is beyond me, It seems its finally coming home to roost in SE Asia. it has certainly caused its fair share of problems in the US and Canada and South Africa

for the love of god, nobody cares about your cheese toast.

have you tried tonys?

I dont deny your claims that dual pricing exists here as it does in many places, especially where services are government subsidised. There are also individually opportunistic instances, like market sellers (where negotiation is expected) or taxis. That said, name one place in non-rural Bangkok or any other major centre where this is common practice. I eat out regularly both with thai and expat freinds and have not encounter this once in many years. I am not saying it doesn't happen but it is certainly not the norm.

Chuwit is very unlikely to come to harm.

Retirement visa requires 800k, not 400. If you want a retirement visa without freezing the cash, consider an agent. I paid 30k for my first year (15 months actually) and every subsequent renewal has been 14k.

ignoring intent to overstate fact most certainly is.

Asking a (Thai) neighbor for help generally results in a dead snake.

Then they are fools chasing false ecomomies

i cant think of any point in tha last 20 years when pattaya wasnt a <deleted>hole

What utter nonsense. I don't believe a word of unless i see case numbers and reports

pedant

My Villa market has weeks where the shelves are near empty in some sections.

They can lower it to zero and without enforcement it wont make one bit of a difference.
