Tell me you Isaac Asimovs of Asia... ????

Well in life there is what you want and what you can get ????

Thailand can be such an annoying place sometimes... Exchange rates already suck and now this BS ???? It's like they're trying to scuttle their own tourism industry with dumb moves like this one... Ok. Thanks for your help Stick Rice Balls !

A question just popped up in my head. I've read somewhere on the internet that Thailand had a rather serious demographic problem (like many countries in the world really). Why is immigration so tough on visas then ? A logical move would be to ease immigration requirements - especially for people coming from neighboring countries - in order to support the economy... What are your thoughts on that ?

Hi there, Is it true that withdrawing money in Thailand is charged 200THB on top of all the other typical fees ? On some websites, they call it the "ATM scam". Is there a way to avoid this? I mean withdrawing abroad is already expensive enough as it is. I'd like to keep some money for myself in the process you know... ????

I've been watching the vlogs of a scandinavian guy called Nine Media. It looks like Bangla has less bars, more pubs and a different kind of crowd. Girls have a different attitude as well it seems. Less energetic, less friendly maybe? (might be the guy filming making them uncomfortable. He acts a bit weird sometimes.) I remember them dancing on counters and around poles almost everywhere. The link is a video that I've found of the old Tiger complex. This is how I remember it. (I was there between 2013 and 2016 or something) Btw is soi Eric gone? Couldn't see it on his footage... Thanks to all of you for your replies. Dunno if Bangla died but this forum is alive and kickin' for sure ????

Hi guys, What's going on in Patong these days? I just watched a couple of vlogs on YT and had a weird feeling about the place. Bangla Road seems really different somehow. Kinda dead really. Couldn't feel the usual vib. Am I tripping or is there some sort of transformation going on? ????
