What's a reasonable price for a lady drink?
Middle Aged Grouch replied to TheFatOne's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It is sad to see falangs having to pay for company. -
In most crimes petty or heinous, it need the involvement of 2 to be committed. The culprit and unfortunately the victim.

Thanks to the americains and all the crap they are supporting, creating or financing in east europe or the middle east, all speculations are open to the deep sea damage of the internat link cable. It also shows us how vulnerable we have made ourselves in putting all the eggs of high tech internet in the same basket or rather the same deep sea cables. Time to think above the box and develop back up with satelite links open to the public with no extra price hikes.

Did you know this about 7-Eleven (Thailand)?
Middle Aged Grouch replied to george's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
In that 7 Eleven near Nana BTS, there are a bunch of real fine hotties...I asked one of them out and she said No of course, but when I was turning to leave, she added that if I really wanted to meet her, I would have to try next evening after her shift at the Thermae bar down the road....oh yes, it's a freelancer bar !!!! 🤪 -
Thai banks set for expansion amid ASEAN economies’ growth
Middle Aged Grouch replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Sure the Thai banks will start to expand and increase their cash flow...starting by increasing the bank fees for all those awful farangs and their huge amounts of money they bring in !!!! And of course, saving account high interest only for Thai, no for phalang...Farang only bring money and that's it. But I sincerely hope I am wrong in this rather trivial statement ? -
Everybody with a brain gets to struggle at some point in Thailand. No matter if rich or poor. Struggles with the greedy local in-laws. The inefficient and excessive red tape and bureaucracy of the Immigration offices. Various handymen or service technicians who either overcharge or just do not know the job. Crooked real estate managers or developpers who do not do their job and just try to squeeze out as much money as they can from the foreigner. Crooked taxi or tailor cheats who will overcharge or who will outsource the work with crappy jobs: Watch out also how some tailors in Bangkok or Hua Hin do the cloth quality trick,. They will show the material unstiched which will be of decent quality but the cloth used will be another very similar of lower grade. Often done in making suits. Getting ripped off with the taxi or tuk tuk cheats refusing the meter... Restaurants that cheat on the bill...and so on

The quality cannabis-tourists.... -
British man fined 5,000 baht for naked stroll on Krabi beach
Middle Aged Grouch replied to webfact's topic in Krabi News
What on earth is wrong with all these foreigners who become totally mad, stupid and crazy in Thailand. To much booze ? drugs ? both ? God knows. Such "fine quality" tourists give a bad image of all foreigners in the Kingdom. England should step forward and request a warrant and have the bloke deported and jailed once back in the UK. -
Sure, as the USA needs to sell more of it's weapons to finance even longer wars all over the world and mainly in Ukraine. While millions of americans are living on the threshold of poverts on the streets of NXC, LA, Detroit, New Orleans..... ole Biden is trying to get more budget extensions from Congress to finance his buddy in Kiev. So the best guilable are the NATO members who have to shell out hefty billions to be part of the club.

How Much of a trumper are You?
Middle Aged Grouch replied to Walker88's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I was no Trumper. But on seeing the disaster with Biden and how his rogue cronies are creating wars and leading to global economic doom, I think that Trump was not that bad after all. And of course I rather see Trump with his hottie wife then see Biden slipping on stairs and mistaking names and countries in public. -
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s opulent family holiday in Phuket
Middle Aged Grouch replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
These people comming to Thailand and paying all the absurdly high prices are causing inflation for the entire country and putting the entire tourism industry to risk. There is more money to be made in large amount of luxury resorts with crashed prices...then with a few exclusive resorts that charge 1000$ a night or even more for a bunch of spoilt millionnaires or billionnaires. -
Bangkok Port relocation set to combat pollution and congestion
Middle Aged Grouch replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
With all the cars that are allowed in Bangkok the pollution with pm2.5 particles will hurt even the rich and hi-so. -
With emirates, the cabin staff is far more polite and generous in giving free wine and booze, compared to Qatar.

Thai doctor offered bribe to drop lawsuit in Swiss scandal
Middle Aged Grouch replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
What if this falang gets finally kicked out of Thailand ? Will the in-laws grab all his assets in Thailand ? -
Thai doctor in Swiss expat case says she has ‘stress’
Middle Aged Grouch replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
The retiree was what he is, not doubt. But not to overlook the local thai lady showing her farang bf/husband all around, acting big with his money and acting like a pop star. Their heads can turn also and cause such heated incidents. -
Good idea as most sales staff barely speak english mostly in towns like Bangkok or Hua Hin, with big spending power from the foreigner retirees. When you shop and the sales girl just shakes her head as they do and says the usual "no can do" perhaps due to not understanding, it's a big loss for the business.

Airlines urge Thailand to take flight with airport upgrades
Middle Aged Grouch replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thailand on the other hand must urge airlines to offer cheaper rates from the west if Thailand wants to continue to get the good foreigner money. -
Thai government plans 7% VAT on imported goods from May
Middle Aged Grouch replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Lazada will shut down !!! But the chinese who are smarter will crash prices even more and offer their crap at even cheaper rates then now, incl. VAT. It's the supplier at the end of the food chain who will suffer a bit more or stop doing business with the ruthless online platforms and their crashed prices with free shipping.
