Pattaya Bars Empty Amid Low Season and Shifting Tourism Trends
thecyclist replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
There are just too many bars, a massive oversupply of beer bars. If you want to lose money, open a beer bar. -

Finding Good Reliable Generic Drugs in Thailand
thecyclist replied to kingofallasians's topic in Health and Medicine
I found the bigger pharmacies near the central market in Phnom Penh fairly reliable. Never seen anything from Pakistan there, though. Lot's from India, Malaysia, and the more expensive stuff from France. -

Russian Tourist's Pattaya Adventure Sours with Luggage Theft
thecyclist replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Maybe he was in the shower, or asleep. Ladyboys sometimes hide under the bed. There was a story, years ago in a Pattaya hotel , of a corpse "hiding" under the bed. The new guests were unable to sleep because of the stench in the room, and found the source of the stench right under them. It's Pattaya, anything is possible. -

Compared to fighting on the front lines in Ukraine, most certainly. -
Remember the olden days in Thailand?
thecyclist replied to swissie's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
That's exactly right. In the eighties the visa exemption was only 15 days, so very few long term farangs would do regular border runs. It was down to the Consulate in Penang for a double entry non-immigrant visa, which required no paperwork whatsoever. -
New Bus Routes Link Bangkok Airports to Pattaya and Hua Hin
thecyclist replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
I assume this will be in addition to the already existing Roong Rueang Suvarnabhumi to Jomtien route. Not much of an improvement, as Roong Rueang runs every hour. -
Have you considered changing your name to captain retard.? It would be more reflective of the inner workings/or lack thereof, of your cognitive potential.

Tourist Brawl in Phuket Sparks Debate on Visitor Behavior - video
thecyclist replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Very little, if anything, to do with 'free' visas, unless you make visas so expensive that only his holiness, the supreme jerk Elongus Maximus Mask and Co can visit, like 20 mil for a one day visa. If you can afford a week in the overpriced pearl, you can afford to pay for a visa, and then do the fighting with a visa. A fighter without visa and a fighter with a visa, same fists, same punches, same brainless skulls. IQ tests before you are aloud in might help. By the way, the locals fight, and stab and shoot, a lot more than visitors. -
Thailand Ranked 106th in English Proficiency Out of 116 Countries
thecyclist replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes you can tell how long they have been in the (farang) business by their English proficiency. I stay away from the ones whose English is very good. Too "contaminated". -

Singapore Philippines. Malaysia,are, of course way, way ahead of Thailand (the advantages of having been colonized by an English speaking nation. But Vietnam, really? They have even greater problems learning English, just like most farangs find Vietnamese even harder than Thai. -
With the US of a.. holes gone full fascist, it's best to boycott American goods. I have started checking labels, and, as much as possible, steer clear of US products. Buy Canadian /European / Australian etc, give Trumpland the finger.

Is border run visa illegal?
thecyclist replied to Valuepeace's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
They don't issue visas at the border. Only embassies/consulates can do that. -
Outdated 2-5pm Alcohol Ban Faces Renewed Criticism in Thailand
thecyclist replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The ban might have been introduced in 1972, but it either wasn't passed or not enforced until the first Thaksin administration, when minister Purachai, the pure moralist, put it on the books. In the eighties and nineties you could drink around the clock. Buddhist holidays and election days excepted. -
Pattaya's Pedestrian Perils: Crumbling Walkways and Traffic Chaos
thecyclist replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
They should have warnings at all international airports : The rule of the jungle applies on Thai roads. Traffic is pretty chaotic all over SEA, but Siam is the only country where cars not only fail to slow down when pedestrians try to cross, god forbid stop, but actually speed up( plus flashing and honking) to signal to any potential "crosser" to cease and desist. -
Should I have my (mercury) amalgam fillings removed?
thecyclist replied to BangkokHank's topic in Health and Medicine
Composite fillings lasting 5 to 10 years? Rarely that long in my case. But my cavities are huge, they usually fall out after a year or two. -
WISE just shut me down!

Can't you just give them the address of a relative? Do they actually check whether you are officially registered there? -
