Great question! The mountain views? Hard to see in ???? burning season! actually a very boring city, moved away when the smoke started, couldn’t understand why people would live in such a place? didn’t retire to move to a city and put my health in jeopardy! never ever forget an expat telling me it’s rice burning, it’s organic and good for you! to the O.P, quit bitching and move! -
Can’t trust Putin or anything Russian. don’t kid yourself, the vast majority of the people are for the genocide, not against it! as the new mobilization starts I can just imagine the thoughts of the Russians sitting on the beach in Thailand, knowing what awaits them upon returning to their country! slava Ukraine

Businesses on Khao San Road struggle to serve customers
Northstar1 replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
It’s a catch 22situation raise wages and give benefits, then listen to everyone whine about prices going up! then Thailand isn’t a cheap destination anymore, not that it is now. -

Yes, airfares are thru the roof compared to pre Covid. I can’t believe how much they have gone up. For Canadians the cost of airfare alone to Thailand gets me a direct flight and holiday to a much closer destination in the Caribbean or similar.- 44 replies

Who has retired to other Asian countries?
Northstar1 replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub

‘What if the worst had happened?’ Trudeau defends convoy response
Northstar1 replied to Scott's topic in World News
Peaceful demonstration? how would you like 100s of truckers parked outside your house honking horns all night long? Or the others blocking the bridge in Windsor halting millions of dollars in trade every hour? trudeau was elected because the people had enough of the conservatives! Rinse and repeat for the next election -
