As I stated before, the S. Korean men are catching up with the Nigerians regarding criminal activities in LOS.

The S. Korean are trying to surpass the Nigerians in criminal activities in LOS. I find most to be very rude and impolite in disposition. Most have that constipated face all day long.

Aside from the Kuwaiti disrupting the local scene with their incessant motorcycles, Iranians are a close second from the Middle East in terms of unscrupulous characters.

I flew Condor for the first time last summer to France. The first leg to Frankfurt was a new Airbus A330-900 Neo. It was nicely equipped, and the crew were wonderful. The flight back from Frankfurt to SFO was an older Airbus and it was below par in terms of amenities and latest tech etc. Other than that, the tickets for a family of 4 was reasonable for an overseas vacation. I will fly with them again if the opportunity presents itself.

What is it to know about Pattaya that hasn't been already discussed on this board and various Pattaya boards over the last 20 years?? Furthermore, YouTube has more videos and vlogs on Pattaya than pretty much any city on Earth at the moment. While I'm sure Barry is knowledgeable about Pattaya bureaucracy and politics and such, anyone who has travelled extensively or reside in Pattaya is mostly likely attune with its occurrences.

Who???

He's dangerous which means that he becomes violent if things don't go his way. He traffics women in the illicit skin trade. He is a pimp by taking a cut from their earnings. He hires illegal workers. He is a polygamous too. Deport and banned from Thailand forever.

Unfortunately, it doesn't take much to triggered Thai people esp. Thai men whose fragile ego and bruised pride to resort to violence to settle the score.

Just the same, Asians can't tell the difference between Germans, Danes or Dutch. 😎

75k baht rounded to 100k baht. Thai math at its finest. Headlines are more important than actual facts.

I believe at this point and time; the Thai gov't and its private sectors are at a loss on what to do to enhance or generate revenue for the stagnant economy other than to put all their collective eggs in the tourism basket. It seems everything they report, and implement is all going to tourism.

Honestly, no country worth their salt takes Thailand's political apparatus seriously anymore. If she is ousted, it just confirms even more so what a joke Thailand is when it comes to political stability. In the long run, DFI and any businesses interest in LOS will undoubtedly pull back or pull out. Ultimately, it hurts the average citizen and the growth of this struggling economy. Of course, the HiSo and the monarchy are not affected one bit!!

The fact that she has to make this statement means that everyone with a brain knew she wasn't calling the shots.

Indeed. the first king of the current dynasty invited Chinese immigrants en masse to settle in Siam. He believed that their business acumens and resourcefulness was needed to develop Siam into a modern nation. He also encouraged the Chinese to freely marry the native population as to enrich and enlighten the Thai DNA if you know what I mean.

much more difficult these days, when the majority in your government, businesses, and industries are run by Chinese descent.

There you go, the true leader of LOS has spoken. 😉

Well that didn't take long. Pati's first order of business will be clearing the good name of her beloved father. 😂

She is Chinese

I mentioned before, South Korean men are becoming the leading menace in Thailand as of late. -He admitted to entering Thailand unlawfully -A search of the house resulted in the discovery of various illegal drugs. These included 1.5 grams of crystal meth, 0.4 grams of ecstasy, and some drug-related equipment -According to the police report, in 2015, Jinjong overstayed his visa by about five years, or 1,864 days

Yes, the police are really that bad!

Imagine that? a large group of Middle Easterns in the same place not getting along??

as long as these " little ghosts" persist in SK, the rules will continue to be strict.

Korean men are slowly claiming the worst tourist title. Warrants Out for 3 Koreans in Bangkok-Pattaya Murder; Thai Police Request Extradition (khaosodenglish.com) Overstayed Visa Leads to Downfall of Korean Drug Smuggler in Pattaya (khaosodenglish.com)

"MOPH’s plan to rub out" 🤣

Weakening yen sees number of Thai tourists visiting Japan soar (nationthailand.com) the weakened yen has made Japan very attractive to many tourists around the world. it's a great time to visit because the yen won't stay down too long.
