It is very obvious that the survey never looked at the ease of obtaining visa and maintaining them, my biggest peeve is when i have to walk into an imm office and front those uneducated ning nongs, thailand has a population bordering on 80 mil, and they cannot find one educated fluent english speaking intellect that could greet you with "and how can i help you today sir", instead we get a blank stare, more of a glare really, and then a wave of the arms, how wonderful, the only time i see a glimmer of a smile is when your handing over dollars.

So why are you choosing to live/go Thailand - if you regard Immigration as 'uneducated ning nongs'?? Makes you looks kind of silly. You are in their country so you should be attempting to speak Thai. Right?? They most likely regard you, yes you, as the uneducated ning nong farang.

You live in the Thai boonies, the nearest 7 is a ten minute walk. You live in Bangkok, the nearest 7 is a five minute walk. You live in Hong Kong, KL, SG et al, the nearest 7 is a push of the elevator button.

 

What's left really? The price of hookers and the price of beer. In Hong Kong et al you have the choice of Thai, Filipina, Vietnamese, Russian and Indonesian 'good company'. In Bangkok it's Thai, Thai, Thai or Cambodian good company (Japanese if you're not riff raff).

 

The air quality is cr@p everwhere.

 

 

 

And in Hong Kong you are paying 2X or 3X the price for companionship. A massage will cost you way more than in Thailand. And facing arbitrary detention and constant surveillance  by the CCP. And in Thailand you have the choice of Thai, Cambodian, Lao, Vietnamese, Russian, Middle Eastern at an affordable price.. Have you been sleeping or something?? Go to China (and Kong Kong which is snuggled up real close by) and really experience what <deleted> air quality is really like. Live in SG and you will pay Western prices (and more) for everything and live in a police state. Now please go back to sleep.

Take away the beautiful women selling sex  cheaply and lax (no) government policy stopping it, and BKK wouldn't make the top 100. Don't have to be a genius to figure that out

Not sure what you are saying. Are you puritanical about sex and no government policy to stamp it out ? Do you want government to control your choices in life with a 'policy' ?? Irrespective mate - BKK suits many, but obviously not you huh ? And does it matter where BKK sits on the world index of livable cities (compiled by a load of stuffed shirts sitting in an office). If you like it and it suits you, that's all that matters. 'Stuff the stuffed shirts most likely sitting in an office in Brussels'

They’re not open because they don’t want them open. If you know the mind of the mob that took the country, you’ll know that the pandemic was convenient for their agenda. 

Hey, Bali, Indonesia  and many SE Asian countries are slow re-opening to international tourism. Could it just be they are being careful?? Maybe your agenda is to spread non truths. Look mate - they can't keep the place closed forever and all they are interested is the huge Baht that tourism brings in to enrich the country. Just whom are going to fill the thousands of empty hotel room ?? Mum,Dad and the kids visiting temples.

This reminded me that I hadn’t heard from Phet for many years. I assume he’s now retired and tapping out his memoirs somewhere in the west midlands of England. 

 

This link shows he was still scribbling tales of Lalaland after we met up in Bangkok in 2011 for a pizza and a few scoops of ale. 
https://brokenmanrepaired.wordpress.com/page/2/
 

His last 'episode' was about three years ago, and was 'threatening' to make a return to BKK and Pattaya, but had somewhat lost his muse. His health wasn't that great apparently at that stage. I remember reading a couple of years earlier he had gone to Pattaya and felt none of the girls were interested in him. Sheesh. Anyone that can't score there is too pi**ed or asleep (sadly). Maybe his Ex is satisfying his needs now. Anyhow, he was always a great read. Hope he is ok and we hear another story from him.

Well, no-one has posted on Stickman for maybe 2 years.  I enjoyed reading Phet's stories, a good writer.

Sticko has had his site in abeyance for 11 months because of travel restrictions. Hopefully, that will change soon. Yes, Phet was hilarious.

That very funny but sad contributor from Stickman's. Has anyone heard a peep about him.. Last I heard he was shacking up in England with his ex English wife. Hasn't posted anything on Stickmans site for about three years. Had this ex hooker Nat on the line in Thailand as well.

This BS is not only applying to Tourists! I have a Thai friend returning from the UK early next month, she is fully vacced and had to jump through all the hoops as well as prepay a 7 day quarantine hotel booking. On hearing of the one day thingy she contacted the hotel for confirmation = they were very vague but stated she would not be getting a full refund on the unused days!

Maybe these Einsteins need to grip on reality rather than their to ols. It's all degenerating into a money making enterprise rather than guarding public safety.

Approximately 70 % of China 1.4 Billion population have had 2 doses of vaccines as of today  Oct 14, 2021

Is sinoc**p a real vaccine or just sterile (or not so sterile)  water??

Indeed - cleaner streets. It's a health hazard navigating those oysters lurking on the streets after 'they've' been there.. Could slip and break a limb.

Correct, China isn't even issuing passports to its own citizens anymore.

China ?? China ??  >>> Are they supposed to be the majority shareholders of Thailand ?? Wait a minute - Yes, that's it. Seriously - China isn't issuing passports to it citizens, and the reason given is that they fear resurgence of the virus when people return. Real reason is: a mass exodus of fleeing citizens.

Shame on you Thailand....

 

What a pathetic statement to make

Administrative Court in Phetchaburi ruled that multi-tiered “dual pricing” in Thai hospitals are not discriminatory as they benefit Thailand.

 

Not discriminatory as it benefits Thailand, says it all..........................

This is a disgusting decision. Now bar girls have been given a mandate to charge Falangs even more than Thai men. Very unfair :<(

Well I would not put it in total absolutes, but certainly a theme to substantially bear in mind when considering  perhaps, if mostly using the brain for the consideration process (often a problem).

Seems to work OK,  when they are at least your economic equal, but I've only tested the theory for 15 years so far....but confidence remains high....????

Lucky man at the moment. But most that are batting their eyelids at a falang are unlikely to be 'an economic equal'. Thai women are much more likely to select  a Thai man as a partner. And if they are chasing a falang they may something else in mind - even if they are an economic equal. Hope the partnership lasts 16 years :<) and you don't run out of cash.

I rent, will never buy, and only shift money over as it is required in minimal amounts....

Wise man. I'll extend that to never marry anyone in Thailand. Pack of money grubbers. Thailand is a place to have fun. NOT commit to anything. Now let's see if all the gents jump on me for being forthright.

The Chinese still call Laos, Thailand Cambodia, and Vietnam  "Indo-China". they will realize their five hundred old dream to unite the whole asian peninsula if Govt's let them have their way.

Lets hope not. I think even the poorest Asian countries are realising China is on the rampage. As if China doesn't have a very large land mass to pollute already.

Is Thailand destined to become Chiland. Yes !!! Once they begin to sell property wholesale the inhabitants may as well be renamed Chi-landese.

Me, too.  Been twice and would like to go at least once more--they gave me a 10 year travel visa.   Many areas I haven't visited.  

Been three times - lovely place, but not for me until an international rules based order is in place. So not holding my breath any time soon. And if I can't go again - been there , done that and many other places on my bucket list anyhow.

Who in their right mind would want to visit China at the moment?

1000% agree. Not me that's for sure. Been three times and whilst it's a most interesting place  - no one in their right minds would face arbitrary detention there on false charges. Pity !!
