  1. Maintenance and routine checking before issues arise must be something unknown.
  2. Who wants to go to Japan considering the price differences between Patpong and Kabukicho????
  3. One may need to think twice or even thrice before renting to east europeans, ukraines or russians or westerners from countries known to have heavy drunks.
  4. They must be earning more then their counterparts in Europe as many top brass of the Police drive flashy cars and live in up scale luxury mansions.
  5. Friendly advise. Choose another country next time as here they make life hell for farangs.
  6. 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.
  7. 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 ?
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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. ????
  11. 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.
  12. And the next morning his scooter was totaly ransacked and destroyed ?
  13. 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.
  14. 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 ?
  15. All excuses are good for the globaly corrupt to enhance price hikes and profit for their biggest contributors.
  16. Always film and shame on social media, only once one has left Thailand and of course under an unidentified name on the specific websites.
  17. Europe is under a heat wave with many places reaching 45° C.
  18. I would plainly walk in a reputable hospital and check with the urologist or similar specialist for such issues.
  19. Why not just walk into the pharmacy and ask them showing your card ?
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
