I think selling leases is smarter than selling freehold. if I was selling I know what I would prefer to do.

They can not really walk in because it is hard to get a visa that they must apply for and pay for even if it gets rejected. most are struggling with the terrible economy especially the many who operate thai restaurants that are really feeling it with the cost of living crisis I think you will find us Brits complain about foreigners more than you will hear the Thais whining about foreigners. It was what got Brexit over the line.

They already do that in Thailand, usually around factory areas at going home times. it is an effective deterrent. a lot of employers also have unannounced random tests for workers which is also a good deterrent. they should do it at schools also.

As a male, it is impossible to walk around Pattaya without being sexually assaulted. Which is why I like it there.

Yes restaurant owners. I doubt it was a vegan restaurant

For On average, 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized every year in the United States. Shelters around the country euthanize an estimated 670,000 dogs and 860,000 cats each year. 45% of all cats who enter shelters are eventually euthanized.

Much more likely to meet prostitutes here than in other countries

Animals kangaroo, animals.

He is quite advanced. sounds like you are also. good inspiration for me. thanks

Apparently a farang father.

Doesn’t sound like a British name.

Just like all the other politicians pandering to the woke. No spine.

I have noticed that the entitlement that these Russian Karens possess is right up there with our UK versions back home.

23 year old Hun looks like he had a big night to remember. Plenty of booze, followed up with a session with the insatiable older Cream, followed up with a few rounds with Q then ending up at the police station. Rock’n’roll.

Groping females in bars and females groping me is the main reason most of us love Pattaya. Sounds like the fake cop had been reading Trumps Art of the Deal, Grab em by the Pussy chapter.

You seem to be focussed on the sex tourism side of things rather than the overall tourism which is going fine. A bit of a stretch to claim Thai tourism is “grim” because Bobs local brothel and bar is quiet. why not name where you were? Why the “mystery”? If your story is true, which I doubt because you are known to make up stories, I guess that you are talking about Nana ?

The old knock out drug on the nipples ploy. one of the oldest tricks in the book. The scam was simple -- the women allegedly laced their lips and breasts with strong sedatives and then robbed their clients when the drugs took effect.

Good luck with that. It will trigger the muppets who will all be fighting themselves to get to the report button first. I was told that Thai and Loation writing is similar and a lot of the words are the same or similar? You would know as good as anybody. Could a Thai speaking Thai communicate effectively with a Laotian speaking Laos? How about Issan people?

They pay more than their fair share already. A large % of the lower income earners pay zero tax already

Only muppets would complain about higher minimum wages and lower business taxes. If they had cut wages and increased taxes you would be whining. Some people just want to whine.

Since learning the lingo I am being seen more as a local now. i think if you never learn the lingo you will be isolating yourself from the 96% of Thais who don’t speak English.

Nah you are wrong. stimulates the economy with the extra money people spend. good policy from a good government

Higher wages for workers and lower taxes for businesses. That is a win win. Good government

The Thais have always been on top of the game in this region and this will further cement their place as number one.
