Middle Aged Grouch

Use TikTok as the US social media are becomming real scammers with their ads and moneymaking policies.

Norvegians for sure...

Same for those villas with pools that look very nice on the photo but shortly after delivery the paint starts to chip and cracks appear on the facades. Never understood why farangs like to waste their money in buying property in Thailand.

Ask anybody in the world to cite a mass random shooting like this one in public in Thailand. Nobody will be able to answer. Ask people for similar mass shootings in the US and any tuk tuk driver with below-average english skills will nevertheless have a situation to refer.

One often hears farangs in bars, pubs or girl clubs in Bangkok or Hua HIn, mouthing disgusting things against other foreigners or speaking ill of people with different skin colour. But the funniest bit is that these racist farangs are mainly uncomfortable with themselves in the fact they never made it in their home country and the fact that they feel sort of embarassed secretly as they usually have thai gf's/wives.

Tourism reservations will sharply drop for Bangkok for this year.

I think the Bob, is projecting his own issues on others.

So who are these farang thieves ? Russians ? Brits ? Americans ? Germans ?

Get ready to start having to open your bags for security check even when you go to a soapy !! But we all have seen how the "security" screening works in Thailand. They mostly harass or check the bags of foreigners and never check the Thai's. This time no can put the blame on a foreigner.

I would not risk all the trouble in getting Android TV box and risk having the cops knock at me door.

It could be true but the chinese tourist will only spend in businesses owned by other chinese in Thailand so not much to gain for Thailand with all the Chinese crowding the place.

The thing is that if you raise salaries, the business owner will immediately double raise the prices of his services. 1. Foreigners first of all do not come to Thailand to pay similar prices as back home in the west. 2. Even if the business increases his prices to the patsy farang who will pay, chances are small that his staff will get the raise . Salary increase can sound nice on paper but it can end up in backfiring as tourists and wealthy retirees will chose another country so spend and settle.

Isaan business is all over the girlie bars ????

Really ? 3bb internet has increased it's rates for fiber towards it's old customers...so where is the price drop ?

Welcome to LoS....Land of Scams..

Quite intriguing in Thailand, as we often see aged farangs (with Thai wives). These farangs often can be ridiculous racists and make sultry comments against other foreigners. Some sort of a way to ease their own complex for being married to a Thai maybe.

I make it a point to always try and ask a Thai to go and ask for the price when it's not displayed. Many malls in Thailand pay the same trick with no prices displayed on items in display. Same for Facebook posts of custom made items. They never answer when you ask them the price for the specific object shown exactly as on the photo. LandOfScams.

Not to forget to check the tax status of every tech geek entering these places.

Live your present by all means, but don't neglect the future and plan well to avoid all the comming tax hassles for foreign retirees.

Why do they just not go to the soapys and pick up a "hostess" from the fishbowl ? really..

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.

What about the sukhumvit Bangkok tailors and their foreign tours to sell suits in small hotel rooms in Europe ? Will they be taxed on the foreign income ?

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.

We want the party in power who will stop the absurd 90 day reporting, will stop the absurd TM28 or TM30 requirements and stop the requirement to produce residence certificates for any petty administrative issue.
