Middle Aged Grouch

Same issues in those swanky pool-villa developpments in Hin Lek Fai - HUA HIN. The managers rarely or never submit the TM30 online or paper, when their foreign owners come over for a few months. Quite easy to always put the blame on the foreigner-house owner. But if a developpment is making good money, cashing exorbitant monthly "common fees" etc, such a service must be provided. Another good reason not to blindly go and rent those swank pool villas in Hua Hin, with the risk of getting into hassles with some zealous officer on leaving. Hotels are dead chep, far safer and the best place for tourist visits.

Maybe the BiB should stop pulling over foreigners just for the tea money and start to do their jobs and pull over the rash locals on wheels ?

The 2 week millionaires may spend on hookers, but the retiree owning a house will spend less often ok, but when he/she spends for stuff to maintain the house or other, it boosts much more cash at the end of the day.

A good reminder to be wary with relatioships with the ladies in Thailand, if she is cheating on some other hidden partner or husband back in the village.

I find it interesting that most criticize your post for nothing, but are nevertheless eager to comment and thus make it amongst the current popular posts. ????

In certain remote areas of the US, the puritanism is quite similar with that in the muslim nations. Quite a hypocrisy as most will be at church on Sunday and in a stripper club on Monday, miles away from home during the business trip. Same for muslim nations with their absurd social codes, that are totally discarded when abroad. Religion is a matter of inner belief and nothing to do with any external dieties or forms of preaching.

And the next morning his scooter was totaly ransacked and destroyed ?

Some people seem to live in La-La land and do not realise they are being cheated on a daily basis. Go to any service, shop etc that does not clearly display prices with a thai friend/bargirl/whatever, asking to quote the price. Then go back as a farang and ask for the price for the same. Make your conclusions after.

Same in Hua Hin where they just love to put up roadblocks at night mainly on the roads leading to the housing developpments in areas very populair with farangs. Wonder if the "fine" is with a receipt or not ?

All excuses are good for the globaly corrupt to enhance price hikes and profit for their biggest contributors.

Always film and shame on social media, only once one has left Thailand and of course under an unidentified name on the specific websites.

Europe is under a heat wave with many places reaching 45° C.

I would plainly walk in a reputable hospital and check with the urologist or similar specialist for such issues.

Some sour grouches just cannot answer without a needless snub...

Don't buy, rent.

Why not just walk into the pharmacy and ask them showing your card ?

his billions...

He will be our hero if he gives visa waiver on arrival for the usual nationalities but valid 3 months straightaway. with no further questions or hassles from those lovely boyz in brown.

Always remember to see where these flashy gated communities are located before anything else. I recall visiting an acquaintance in Hua Hin, living in one of those large luxury gated housings near Black Mountain area. All very nice, foreign managment etc but the place was really in the middle of nowhere.

Would he have left the note if it was obviously a farang owned vehicle ?

hope you did not buy your brakes mate ?

Not only useless but full of chinese cheats who charge prices similar to those in the west. Not to mention the cheap quality and risks of using the item (short circuits in their electric crap, toxic materials or dyes etc). Of course I also have stuff ordered from them, but the quality has dropped drastically and prices to high, not worth.

With all the debt from the posers and hi-so wanna be's, the bubble will explode in Thailand like in China. When you spend more then you earn, and obviously at one point cannot repay...it ends up by crashing like the US in the 2000, now China. Default payment can concern anybody from the corporate majors to the somchai or the farang playing it big in a shiny porsche or a shiny new Toyota pickup. The bankers, wealth asset managers, pension managers or developpers just never learn. The whole world pays for their mistakes crimes, when the bubble bursts. At the end of the day, your money is best to have in cash, safely tucked in a nice individual safe, in a nice bank in Switzerland.

Maybe somebody in a tight brown suit and dual set of golden wings-medals, did not get the right home delivery service ? Or the brown enveloppe was not send by speed post ? On the whole it just shows that they plainly tolerate farangs in Thailand, nothing more. No matter what some farangs may think, a farang is always nothing but a farang and at the same level like any other non-Thai. No matter how superior some westerners may think they are in Thailand. If you are wandering or mongering all over Thailand, chances are that you obviously did not make it back in the west. So chill, respect, keep low and enjoy. ????

100% safety does not exist once your card details are put online for the hotel, airline... Best thing if possible is not to let the card out of sight if physically paying For online purchase, try another bank, that enables generated numbers on each transaction with their credit card. It's a service given on any card thru the bank's app, in which you enter the amount of each transaction. The system then generates a one-time number, one-time exp date and one-time CVV number that is only valid for the current purchase online. You then use instead these details and not your regular card details. Many European banks offer this system at no extra fee. It does affect normal usage of the card when you pay over the counter.
