This is terrifically detailed and helpful. THANK YOU.

The only sensible solution is for all good Thais to immediately impose additional random DF sales taxes on all DF transactions within the Kingdom.

Hi Issan residents, Living in Chiang Mai & have a car, want to drive to come check out Issan in February. Can any locals please suggest... Picturesque highways? Off-the-beaten-track places? Non-touristy place to see beautiful lam-vong circular dance? Anything else I should know? Khupun nakaa!

Dude, this is Thailand. No criticism is welcome. No improvement is ever going to happen. Thais don't want to hear it from Thais or farang, and Stuck Here farang don't want to hear about it, either. No expat is ever going to admit they made a huge mistake in ever having anything to do with this place. The fault will always be said to be with you for failing to 'adapt' (lower your standards). Thailand. If you don't like it... FIND A WAY TO LEAVE!

Sewerage smells, litter everywhere, enormous unfinished building eyesore right on the river (W T F ???) in a supposedly nice area, pedestrian unfriendly, young men abusing street animals, hundreds of Burmese migrants queuing in the heat to renew their their work visas. Central Bangkok... Yep definitely a Worldwide Top 5 destination ????.

Is it true that male tourists have been drugged and raped by ladyboys? In the mid-2010s, I heard that happened to an attractive young Englishman during his holiday to Thailand. He was quite traumatised and ashamed. I don't remember any more details. We always hear about druggings, beatings and robberies by LBs and LB gangs, but not so much the rapes. I can understand if it were a p4p situation and the LB became aroused, things could get out of hand. I get it, it's partly the young man's fault for being naive / playing with fire. Just amazes me that no one seems to talk about that risk in general. Anyone else heard similar stories?

Ridiculous assertion! No such thing would ever happen in LOS!

Totally agree. I've given away literally carfulls (not just one carful) of books in my life. Now parting with most precious because like you said I have the free e-books for them all. Is there a place in CM I can sell 10 for 100 baht... 50 baht... 20 baht? I don't like the idea of them just being thrown away by someone who got them totally free. A bargain is treasured because it reflects well on the buyer, something free is sometimes not valued.

Various outfits around CM old city will exchange or offer a credit, but only to their buying customers. I don't want to swap; am decluttering. (Also a conscientious objector to Facebook/Meta so wouldn't sell to expats there) Any suggestions of places that might buy? Thx

Best website for maximum free info about Thai employer companies. (Rego date, industry activities, owners / officers, currently registered). Also, is there any free way to confirm whether a company is formed under the Amity Treaty? (US majority owners) Thanks

Any recommendations of high quality places? Cheers

First off, let me clarify. I'm NOT looking a gay sauna/bathhouse. Each to his own, just not my thing. With that out of the way, please, are there any saunas in Lampang City? Eg, at Gyms? Luxury condos? Hotels? thanks all
