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. -

Friendly advise. Choose another country next time as here they make life hell for farangs. -
What on earth is TM30 ?!

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. -
Is your ol' hometown RUINED? (Also: Nudism survey)
Middle Aged Grouch replied to LaosLover's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
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. -
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.

Gated communities with 4 bedroom houses in Chiang Mai
Middle Aged Grouch replied to FriendlyFarang's topic in Chiang Mai
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.
