Villages in Sukhothai flooded as Yom River embankment collapses
Middle Aged Grouch replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Assist of course, but start building proper bridges and roads and larger pipes to evacuate flood water. Each year Bangkok becomes a mega puddle and this does not give confidence to foreign investors. -
You in the EE are destroying your economy and prosperity by beint patsys of the US and handing billions to the east. Ask the retirees in any EU or EEE nation what they think. Why do you think that extreme right wing parties are progressing all over like in Italy, and France and Spain closely following. Not to mention countries like Poland, Slovenia who are putting a ban on urkainian grain imports to protect their domestic markets. And of course in the pas 20 years the US have not caused wars on invaded any places and killed thousands of innocent civilians in their drone strikes. US or Russia, no one is better then the other one. It's all a game of ego, money, power with innocent civilians no matter where who pay the price either with economic turmoil or worse.

Thai baht plummets against the US$
Middle Aged Grouch replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
The BRICS have a super power that is India also. The US$ is doomed by the next comming years once Europe bans all fossil run vehicles in 2035. -
If you live in a gated house developpment in Hua Hin or Hin Lek Fai district, avoid the services offered by the house developpment as their staff is spoilt by the other part time farangs, prices overcharge, the work is average and the cleaning girls have no respect for other people or their property when the owners are not around. . FB is full of services at very decent prices.

Avoid purchasing in Hua Hin they overcharge. Shop in Bangkok area out of the main district that is or try going further up north. Get the stuff delivered, it will cost yøu far less and be better finish then in Hua Hin. -
Mysterious Man in Suit Causes Stir in Pattaya

Ban Drugs and over consumption of booze.... -
Chinese spend almost no money to the profit of the Thais. When in Thailand, the chinese will mostly spend in Chinatown areas or with chinese merchants. They obtain specific information before they travel to Thailand and know exactly where to find their own kingsmen to deal with (shops, restaurants, or hotels belonging to groups who have big chinese investment in the stock exchange). Like it or not, that's how it goes. The chinese with the big bucks rather spend in the designer shops of overrated and crime ridden Paris in France.

In Thailand you have equal opportunities and high chances of getting killed in a road accident or when trying to cross the road in Hua Hin downtown where the pedestrial lights are usually out of order or non existant. Been many times to Cebu. Felt safer then some seedy areas in Hua Hin (aroung some of the bars in the Hilton area) late night.

Always quite amusing and sad to see the 60 year olds trudging to keep up with their skinny 25 year old "wives"... -
Why purchase tailor made clothes in Bangkok
Middle Aged Grouch replied to SingAPorn's topic in Bangkok
One may wonder if they are subject to income tax on foreign revenue, when many of those Bangkok or Hua Hin tailors do their tours abroad to sell their tailored suits and all in done is hotel rooms. -
Senator Porntip asked to leave restaurant in Iceland
Middle Aged Grouch replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Happy to see that on a Senator's pay, it is possible to afford a trip to highly costly Iceland (even by western standards of tourism). -

Also massively happens in most offices, firms etc etc etc....the "promotion" exam. And this happens as much in the west as in Thailand of course.

Few weeks after the military coup years ago, when there were no more street vendors left to rackt, the cops were pulling over tourists and submitting them to drug scan pee tests on the road. Of course often at the wee hours of the morning one had to pay to "pass". Assuming one does not want to believe the OP, keep in mind that crooks often pose as cops to distract you while another thief is trying to do your pockets or your backpack. I would not brush away the incident and be a patsy when it comes to scams or corrupt cops in Bangkok.

The main thing to understand is that rules and laws change on the mood and overnight. Not worth taking the risk any any large investment or to long stay. Better start to consider Vietnam, Philippines. India, Malaysia, Cambodia etc to retire....
