  1. Can't wait for the ByteDance IPO. Now that the Chinese regulation drama is over, it might happen soon.
  2. Year on year... Like that metric is currently relevant ????
  3. The recent strikes on Kiyv make me believe that Russians still have a lot of ways to wage their war without using nuclear weapons. Truth is Russia could flatten Kiyv if it wanted too but I don't think Putin's goal is to win by killing as many civilians as possible. As for Putin being cornered, I don't think it is true. Many countries keep doing business with Russia even though some of them might disagree with Putin's ways. At the end of the day, Russia has some valuable and much needed natural resources to sell. The recent coup in Burkina Faso also makes me believe that Russian influence in the world is growing right now. Another reason to be skeptical about the end of Putin and the collapse of Russia. Right now I think that those imagining some sort of nuclear war are out of touch with reality. The war will continue and, at some point, everyone will gather around a table and negotiate peace. The sooner, the better. One thing is for sure, we need new international institutions with less power for the West and more power for the emerging world. If that doesn't happen we will have a third world war at some point and it will be nuclear. Then you'll have good reasons to worry ???? Just my two cents on this ????
  4. Stop watching videos that are giving you a completely biased vision of the world. Diplomacy. Warm smile, kind eyes, calm voice, non-aggressive body language, slow movements and positive words. Respect people and people will respect you. Don't show fear but kindness. 99.99% of the time it works. And when it doesn't... well... Bad karma, man ????
  5. Couple of weeks in jail for good measure would have been appropriate ???? Disrespectful idiots...
  6. Just wondering if it's still possible to go to the immigration branch in Patong to get a visa extension post-covid or have things changed ? Thx
  7. Back to my topic for a sec. Went to Billboard yesterday. I liked it ???? Drinks are cheap and the girls in the pool are pretty entertaining to watch. Dancers suck as usual but I'm getting used to it. Can't remember who suggested me that one but thanks ????
  8. Are street bars forbidden now or is it just Mr Covid who made them temporarily disappear ? Less street food vendors as well between Cowboy and Nana compared to 5-10 years ago btw...
  9. Hi guys, Went to Nana Plaza for a couple of drinks and ended up in one of the lower area bars. Can't really remember the name. I think it was the Twister BKK or something like that. It's the first large gogo on the left when you enter the "entertainment center". Anyways. Had my first coke zero outside. Pretty chill. Looking at people coming and going. Then I went inside for another drink hoping to see some pretty girls dancing. It ended up being pretty boring honestly. A lot of girls. Some very cute ones for sure. But too many of them lined up on stage and no real dancing going on. So I thought I might ask you guys if any places are still in the business of real dancing. You know pole dancing or dancing with glowing paint on the body or maybe some fire stuff, etc... You know things that are a bit beautiful / artistic / sexy / enticing. Not that sinister supermarket bs. Before you start, I know most of those places are just an interface between clients and prostitutes. But I thought maybe I could find a bar to watch a decent show while having a drink and relax. Regardless of the area (Cowboy/Nana/Patpong), if you have something to recommend feel free to share ???? Thanks!
  10. I've been looking around for information to go from Bangkok city center to the nearest immigration center (for tourist visa extensions). I've found that the aircon bus 166 Extra can take you there for 22THB. Unless of course it can't... Can you please confirm the above information is accurate ? Thanks for your help ????
  11. Hi guys ! ???? Went in the Wat Arun / Wat Pho area today. Didn't like it. Too touristy. Gonna give the Chao Prayah Sky Park a try tomorrow or something. What are some nice places to visit along the Chao Prayah with low tourism-related activity ? Feel free to share your tips ! Thanks ????
  12. Hi guys, Just trying to figure out how things are in Patong right now. Tourism, nightlife, prices, etc... Hotels are pretty cheap on Agoda right now eventhough high season is starting. So I was wondering... Thanks for sharing your views on the current state of affairs ????
  13. Hello wonderful people of Pattaya ! I'm trying to figure out where I could find a decent swimming pool in this town. I've spotted a nice little place earlier today not too far from the junction between soi Pothole and Thanon Chalermprakiat. Some sort of beer garden I believe with a swimming pool in the middle. Nice place but the pool was too small. So anyway. Where can I find a swimming pool where I can actually... swim ???? Thanks
  14. No talking about naughty stuff here. What's your favorite place? Where is it located? What makes it the best massage shop in town? Many thanks for sharing your tips with me ????
  15. I was wondering if global warming was affecting the daily lives of people in Thailand in any significant way. For those of you living there, have you seen an increase in floods, droughts, etc.. ? Thx
