  1. 1,8 Mill bath and some change HEY, I'll BE YOUR WINGMAN here in Pattaya 😁 555 I bring you to our more secret gents clubs, nude resorts, swingers club, throw in a few ladyboy secret clubs (in their birth suit). The grass might be greener on the other side ... Nirvana for some, who's bored of the old fatty missus. Heck I even get you the very best weed in town. My fee: only 1/5 of your party budget 💸 See Ya
  2. Thats another reason why many use Agents. 2x2 minutes at agent office. Done. Cost 200-400 bath, depends of what agent etc.
  3. Most went back due to * Out of money and savings. * Serious health issues that hospitals here didn't solve. * Realize they also might need free health care for a extended time, back home. Boredom is only a excuse for returning back home. If I returned back home and not planned to return, why would I be here to answer the headline?
  4. Good question. Often up for debate among the expats there. None have asked a attorney. Many expats have a gf 30 years younger, and some still hook up with sideline ladies in their 20's. Until now, no reports of any expat was arrested due to big age difference. Until then, life goes on as before.
  5. Should be life imprisonment without parole or pardon, for murder, rape and drugs. Much higher fines for drunk driving, years behind bars, and automatically impound and sell the vehicle. Then they can abolish the death penalty.
  6. Lack of parenthood. Minors street racing everywhere. Too young for driving license, not mature enough to read the traffic, modified bike, tiny tires, loud exhaust, speeding ... RIP
  7. Easy to see who wear the pants, in that relationship. Ohhhh the power of the ... 🐈 I'm actually chocked that a thai male have to ask if he can go out. From my observations, many males here hit and abuse their gf frequently, into submission.
  8. Without the huge nightlife and prostitution, Thailand will be done as a tourist destination. Thailand become another boring destination for temples and asia culture, without seedy nightlife. TAT will have a impossible task, to spin the numbers.
  9. Ask any of the 1,100 owners who bought there. Have expat friends who live there, back in 2016 the TreeTown area was much smaller, and quiet, compared to today. Remember how few bars there was in TreeTown back in 2016 when the Base condo opened? Not many. I don't live there, but a few expat friends do. Open to 4am will not lead to more spending by tourists. All have a limit of alcohol intake. Most tourists seems to go out 7-8pm for a meal, drinks, find a lady, and go back to hotel. By 2am, a huge majority are already in their hotel. More spending by tourists due to 4am closing time, is just a dream. Tourists still have a budget for their holiday. The experienced tourist know that the best looking ladies has been taken out of the bars early in the evening. Yet another reason to go out early, rather than late. Tree Town area has enough problems already. If it's not drunk tourists that create mayhem, violent security guards also make the news. Walking Street is the only area that should be allowed to be open until 4am.
  10. King Power Mahanakhon. Vertigo and Moon bar Banyan Tree. Tichuca Rooftop Bar. More: https://www.tiktok.com/tag/rooftopbangkok https://www.tiktok.com/tag/bangkokrooftopbar https://www.tiktok.com/tag/rooftopbarbangkok Enjoy! Shop Mak
  11. OP, does she have a written lease contract or not? The landlord would normally negotiate with the tenant to move out early within 30-90 days, in return for not pay rent last month(s). But next day ..... What does the lease contract say?
  12. Who says small ladies can't drive a Big Bike? This tiny Thai, height only 148cm (4'8) found a way to handle a big bike. Respect. https://www.tiktok.com/@tinyasiantallbike
  13. Try the Philippines. They pop out babies same a popcorn machine.
  14. Taxpayer have 3 months 1/1 - 31/3 to file the tax return, if implemented for foreigners. Should be more than enough time. Dual Tax Agreement will be respected, if ever implemented from 1/1/2024. My local Revenue office have still not received any final directives. Relax.
  15. Owners and tenants at the Base condo with a view over TreeTown bars in Pattaya, will be very happy. Madness!
  16. Some info missing here. 1) Condo or Apartment? 2) Have a lease contract? 3) If she have paid rent on time, what reason has she's been told for only 1 day to move out? Condos has written lease agreements. Rules for early termination should be clearly written in the contract. Only a few actions by tenants gives the landlord the possibility to terminate the contract early. Lack of payment, severe damage to the unit, drug use, other criminal activity inside the unit or on the property, altered the unit against rules in lease contract. Read or upload a copy of the Lease. Apartments often has no lease contract, still 7-15 days seems to be the norm for unpaid rent, unless anything else in writing. You need to get more information from her. 1 day to get out, is not normal here. Some property expert should be around soon
  17. TikTok has 100's of videos posted last 30 days from Bangkok, removing anything on the sidewalks. Also removed all kinds of items that block free parking on the street (put there by shop owners)
  18. If the government paid for: Childbirth totally free at hospitals. 3,000 baht per month per child, from the government. Free education up to a certain age. Maybe more could afford and want to have children.
  19. How much money has Thailand borrowed the last 4 years? The country can't afford neither 150 or 560 Billion Baht digital wallet. Even tourist arrivals are up, many other sectors still suffers. In the country of (Hubs) U-turns, can't they just stop talk about this. Other news sources said earlier that many Thais was against Digital Wallet. They realize the country can't afford it.
  20. Rent condo or apartment: Less options in Philippines. Many very old buildings. Small furniture and tiny flat screen tv. Queen bed at best, unless luxury condo where one might be lucky to find a King bed. Few condos have balcony. Condos mostly require 2-3 months deposit and minimum 1 year lease, Notarized! Many expats prefer monthly stay in hotels for that reason. Rent is higher than in Thailand, if you compare similar units size, furniture and quality. The condos I rented was US$ 150-200 more than in Thailand. Apartments are mostly old and very basic, often unfurnished. Owner can be more flexible than condo owners. Electricity is expensive 12-16 Php depends on location (8-10 Thb) Real estate agents mostly work individually, not all are licensed. Be careful, ask a expat. Bad food indeed. Survived in malls who had western food. My food budget was twice than in Thailand. Imported food in Supermarkets can be very expensive. Beer and rum cheaper than in Thailand. Customs allow import up to 10,000 Php including transport cost. NO Vat Duty. I imported food and other stuff. No problem until I forgot the 10k limit, then customs wanted all kind of documentations and import clearance. SIM cards must now be registered. Tourist sim for 1 month. Most long stayers get a native to buy a sim card for them. Atm's are often offline or run out of money. Withdraw days ahead of the many holidays. Friend stayed 3x3 years on tourist visa. Now Imm nagging him to get a proper Visa, marry or SRRV. Traffic can be horrible standstill in rush hours. Poorly managed roads are the norm. Lots of drunk driving at night. Police are friendly, checkpoints are frequent. I found driving safer than in Thailand, due to heavy traffic, proactive police and many checkpoints. Road racing are very seldom, same with loud exhaust. Again thanks to Police. Local driver license and opening a bank account, ask the friendly expats, always a solution. Purchase a motorcycle is easy, no finance for foreigners, but many pinays can get it (!) Temporary registration plates for new motorcycles comes with strict restriction. Use for 7 days only, then park it until one receive permanent plates. That takes months (said to be faster now) If caught in checkpoint with temporary registration, your bike get impounded. This is why many prefer to buy second hand. Many big bikes of older models available, up to the newest monster bikes. If involved in a accident, the foreigner get the blame, and are expected to pay for both parties. Also if the other part had no DL and or was drunk. Pharmacy, many medicines mostly require prescription in the cities, easier without in the province. Philippines don't have all medicines available. Very limited medicines they sell without prescription. Customs are strict at airport, so be sure you have doctors prescription for medicine you bring in. Bring extra if vital for your health. Hospitals: for severe serious conditions, head to Manila. Or Bangkok or Singapore. Province hospitals are average at best, and public hospitals are horrible and overloaded to the extreme. Need a doctor appointment? Sit and wait 3-5-8 hours or get appointment next week. Private hospitals excluded. Life in general, you must be very patient and polite. Things one need to buy are often out of stock, or take many attempts to find. Waiting is the norm in taxi lines, 1-3 hours when it rains. Checkout at supermarket take 10+ minutes, banks and all offices wait wait wait. While I never had a problem, foreigners do get pickpocket, attacked, robbed and murdered. Culture chock. Pinays are very marriage minded, read most profiles on internet and they write 'leading to marriage'. 'Children are a gift from God' ... Contraception are available, but only for age 18 up (!!!) No surprise the country had a population explosion for the last 40 years. A country so controlled by the catholic church, this is the result. Ultra conservative pinays are still around. No bf since birth, no sex before marriage, meet in a mall with a chaperone. Early daytime meet only. Some of them go to church also at 2am or 4am Mass. Don't deflower a cherry, unless you going to marry her. I knew expats who did just that and later tried to end the relationship. Quickly her extended family was on his door. 1 did a runner, never seen again. The other, I don't know the outcome. 1 mid-age expat had 3 or 4 live-in girlfriends, some less than 18 year old. Add on a gun, drugs and he uploaded x vdo's. He's now serving life sentence, in the Philippines. Foreigner are not allowed to be with anyone less than 18 year alone, indoors or outdoors. A foreigner was arrested on the ferry pier together with a minor. Section 10 (b) of RA 7610 prohibits any person to be in the company of “a minor, 12 years or under or who is 10 years or more his junior in any public or private place, hotel, motel, beer joint, discotheque, cabaret, pension house, sauna or massage parlor, beach and/or other tourist resort or similar places. (The exact definition about this is highly debated among expats) Police and undercover ++ are everywhere, so foreigners should strictly follow the Law. Not only do we stick out, some locals like to report foreigners to police. When in doubt about anyones age, demand to see postal identity card or voters identity card as a minimum. Fake express id are common. Women who approach you should be handled with care. A typical pinay don't approach foreigners, unless pay for play. Newbie expats always get fooled by their lies and deception when they say they want a serious bf relationship. It's her day off from work, her rent is due tomorrow and she don't have money. Do you want company, and can you help her with money for the rent? A giveaway is that she tell her friends that she has a 'guest', rather than boyfriend. She's on the game. Expats method to find a good women is to approach a sales lady in the malls. She's not too lazy to work, and she has some education. They have a contract for 1 year employment, so if she's single, she might exchange phone number or chat id with you. On her day off you can date. A good pinay never demand silly amount to become your girlfriend. No sick buffalo or mother in hospital. Most expats give allowance, but nowhere same as in TH. She love to take care of her man, and can be very hot in the bedroom. She rush to the pharmacy or supermarket for you. She do all houseshores without you asking. She can be very jealous, so be careful in public, and don't allow your eyes to stare at another woman. If you have a affair with another women, she's likely to hear about it within few days. Gossip travel faster than light in the Philippines. Meeting the family is no big deal, unless she was a unspoiled virgin. She will be nagging you to meet her parents, as a sign that you are committed to her. I was never asked for money before or after meeting her parents. They are shy same you, plus likely a language barrier. It's mostly eat a meal together and smile. Now if her parents know or think she was/is unspoiled, family members with good english ability will join the conversation about future plans and marriage. When her parents know she had a bf before, they will always be relaxed, nice to the foreigner and no serious talks about when will you marry our daughter. When a pinay had a baby already, she will gain weight very fast. She have a man and a child, she let herself go. Eat lots of junkfood and fatty food + rice 4-6 times a day. I've seen many who put on 20 kilos within 3 years. She now got the pinay tummy forever. (Blame the Spanish blood in them) From these observations, I try to find a really slim pinay. I have lived only 1 hour from gf's parents home. They never came on a visit, and they never asked me or her for money. She sent some of her allowance to her parents every month, and that was it. Both parents was working. Philippines are very different to Thailand. Be prepared for the negatives, and life will be easier. Friends married to Thais or Pinays, pinays seems to adjust much better if one later plan to move back home, with the wife. Worth considering.
  21. Showing outmost respect for Thaksin's ex-wife, and mother to Thailands future PM, I say this was a genius action. He knows where the real power is, so he act accordingly. Police General Surachate "Big Joke" Hakparn, know what he is doing.
