    after visiting my sister who emigrated to australia, and my mate in the west indies i have been underwhelmed by thailand, and many other country's beaches.

    the devil is in the detail. unfortunately, these days you have to concentrate and check, and check again, all details when booking long haul flights. the smoke and mirrors marketing and pricing of the short haul market has infected the long haul market.

    so... if all the products on the shelf have been sold they should not re-stock the shelves until the shop is closed? that's common sense? it's certainly an ineffective business model. and if products aren't available on the shelf you wouldn't complain, you'd be happy to wait until the next day to buy those products?! really?!

    assume thais who have recently traveled abroad will also be required to comply, and that the authorities have a system in place to identify those citizens who should be complying.
  6. it is what it is
    In other countries they have staff to resupply when the shop is closed. not true, in the uk supermarket shelves are re-stocked during shop open hours try not to see criticism through the lens that if something is not right it must be because it's thai/thailand.

    If Thai was the international business language, I would speak it fluently. if only everyone was as perfect as you.

    very sad. but not a thailand problem, many countries have issues with the extreme behaviour of adolescents
  9. it is what it is
    couldn't care less, never needed to pay someone to spend time with me, neither have any of my mates. and i've had an awful lot of fun. a fool and his money are soon parted always has been, and i guess always will be, true.

    depends where you are, in bangkok three days, but quiet start and finish usually. never been to pattaya but hear it's longer there. but i don't care because i'll be in another country 😁

    it is what it is replied to smedly's topic in Pattaya

    sorry, but you are wrong to suggest this is a thai trait, back home the council in a small town near me decided to cut down around 30 mature deciduous trees for apparently no reason, they did it overnight which was particularly sly. and once they're gone that's it...

    ouch.

    book ahead to avoid disappointment.

    i'd say speeding is a problem because you have less time to react there are bad drivers everywhere, and thailand seems to have more that its fair share, but nothing like the insanity i've seen in lebanon and india. so be thankful for that, and be careful out there.
  15. it is what it is
    in all the years i've been flying into and out of thailand i've never been delayed arriving or leaving - always been through immigration before my bags arrived. an air stewardess took a shine to me one one flight and gave me a fast-track pass that i could use in case of long queues. i've never had to use it, probably obsolete now 😄
  16. it is what it is
    they are thai, this is thailand, they will have much more idea of the possible outcomes than us foreigners. leave them to it.
  17. it is what it is
    anyone who knows about writing knows trink was an awful journalist, i was always surprised the stickman site always held him in such high esteem.
  18. it is what it is
    the only way i can, and will, use the site is with an ad blocker. the amount of intrusive ads is ridiculous. i understand that ads are an important segment of the business model, but to have ads that actively prevent ease of user access to the site is counter intuitive. most web designers understand this, but clearly not all...

    depends on the situation, if a girl is interested and lets you know then it's fine. pre-smart phones i met loads of girls in malls, on buses, walking through markets, in parks, non were working girls, and many wonderful times were had. smart phones and internet daring put an end to this, for me anyway. it was a lot of fun while it lasted.

    sure, my friend's daughter studied music at mahidol, she now works as a professional jazz singer often performing at top notch venues. jazz is not my favourite, but she has an amazing voice.
  21. it is what it is
    up to you.
  22. it is what it is
    i remember a BP writer, roger beaumont, i think, he was pretty good. andrew biggs was fairly humorous
  23. it is what it is
    doesn't matter, you're not the target market
  24. it is what it is
    thought they'd solved this problem years ago...
  25. it is what it is
    low level scam, and to be honest if you're not streetwise enough, or have done so little research on your destination, to spot these scams then you deserve what you get. this sort of stuff happens in pretty much every popular tourist country so don;t go saying it's a thai problem.
