  1. Did they do even five minutes of market research on the f-rang pricing?
  2. I can see a market for this here at 300 baht for tourists including Thai tourists to do a familiarization tour but at 800 they've lost the plot.
  3. 300 baht for Thais! Foreigners 800. Leaves a bad taste. They never learn!
  4. I'm assuming the bus goes to more "remote" areas that tourists can't easily get to otherwise. That would deliver paying customers to tourist attractions. Then they could reboard when they're done. The venues and city should pay! Yes, if not used and free, forget about it!
  5. I've got an unusual situation. Living in a high rise condo I've haven't tipped the office staff, security staff, maintenance staff, gardeners, etc. etc. I realize if I lived in New York extortionate tips would be required for door people at least. But this isn't New York. I kind of wish the condo management organized a formal tipping jar for New Years that would be shared with all staff in which case I would throw something in, but they haven't. I have tipped maintenance staff when they do a service for me in my condo at the time of service, but that's different. Well now I have one specific door/security staff person that has consistently given me ridiculously good service over a long period of time. From little touches to somewhat bigger things. I don't really need anything that he's done, but it's really been charming and I certainly wouldn't be so rude as to tell him to stop it. One example of how unusual this is. If I'm loaded holding shopping he enters the elevator and pushes my floor. It goes on and on. It's a little bit of entertainment to see what uncalled for service he will do next. So obviously he well deserves tipping. But it gets tricky. Do I tip a little bit for every little thing or do I give him a very big tip for the New Year? If I only tip him and no other service staff isn't that kind of rude? I'm also a tiny bit concerned that it would "corrupt" the situation as I really don't know if he's some kind of freak that just loves doing that sort of thing and it would be insulting to tip suggesting he was doing it for that. He keeps doing it, never hints in any way that I should tip, and I don't expect he would stop if I never tipped. Not sure at this point.
  6. Better to end the madness of that insurrectionist traitor being allowed on voting ballots!
  7. It ought to be free.
  8. The power of "pink" money. https://www.businessdestinations.com/relax/chasing-the-rainbow-the-tourism-industry-is-becoming-more-inclusive/
  9. If you're really in a bad way you're not going anywhere. The thing about jungle smell is that you get used to it and after a few days you don't smell it anymore. At least that's my experience. I could probably live in Siam Reap too if I had to assuming I could stream and download torrents.
  10. I think gay retirees are already sold on Thailand but if they want to promote it more sounds good to me. There is competition of course just as there is for other demographics. Gay men are desired because in general they spend more. Obviously with many exceptions.
  11. It's good to have the same choices as others. Marriage is not required.
  12. Says the guy who said gay people are either fairies or flamers. That isn't funny. It's incredibly STUPID.
  13. Such vile idiocy is displayed loud and proud on this forum.
  14. Yeah these bigots think it's socially acceptable even approved to trash gay people. Maybe they're right. Homophobia is certainly rampant on this forum.
  15. Brain fart. Yes Biden is older. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-09-biden-trump-super-agers.html Biden is expected to outlive Trump, even though he is three years older. In the paper, the researchers note Biden's "nearly perfect health profile for a man his age," compared with Trump's "significant but modifiable" negative risk factors.
  16. So those are the two categories of gay people to you -- fairies and flamers? Such ignorant and vile bigotry. You're right that Puerto Vallarta has a lot of gay tourists and expats and locals. It's a great place but has gotten expensive, too hot in summer, sometimes crocodiles in the water, and seasonal risk of hurricanes.
