  1. https://thepattayanews.com/2022/12/30/update-two-more-bodies-possibly-foreigners-found-on-beach-at-racha-island-phuket/ Now two more ,male and female found on Racha beach. What's going on here
  2. The only people that need to be asked (ordered) would have been the army corps of engineers. As this nonsense at the border(less) is a national emergency. But the democrats would rather be giving away billions down the tubes to lost causes like Ukraine. Have to keep the "campaign contributions" from the military industrial complex coming. It is physically possible to construct a wall that works believe it or not.
  3. And if the democrats would have supported the wall from the Pacific to the gulf then this would not be happening. Can't have it both ways.
  4. The whole place is booby trapped. These people are lucky if they can tie their shoes every morning. This is next to a light post in Jomtien. Step on this when it's raining...
  5. With the nearly complete destruction of what was once upon a time a city with some nice natural enclaves, the city is lucky to have sh*tloads of oblivious Asians, Arabs , Russians and all the saps from western countries to keep tourist numbers up. The rest are here for other reasons.
  6. And the stated purpose of this was to create more parking, but as noted above and plainly visable that is not happening. So just another cash cow contract/ kickback project. As noted running right through the high season.
  7. I'm sure alot of Thais miss that nice environment too. Sounds like the OP is from Europe, the rest from US. So we are used to environment destruction being challenged and blocked. In this country the locals just don't complain about anything so these "developers" can run roughshod on the country. And environmentalists here are living dangerously.
  8. Well that's the problem:That was a perfectly nice area before. So all these "new" contract/kickback projects are just an ongoing construction mess. Same along the promenade. This is what was just North of Walking st. Now take a look at the utter mess there now.
  9. And this is where another parking garage monstrosity has been built at that location. Utter madness
  10. I lived in Bangkok in 2000's . And they just came in at night with bulldozers at a disputed area in Nana along Sukhumvit
  11. I heard that. There are some real goons around here now, and counting

    Cargo Shorts

    On the ground floor of Royal Garden Plaza ,the last shop on right side as you are exciting to 2nd road there is a fairly new factory outlet. All colored shirts and shorts as well as plain cargo shorts. All items seem to be made in Bangladesh and good quality and design. And cheap: 200, 300 baht.
  13. From the post above November was 92802 baht and December 85470 baht. Then that says your income was for November 92802baht/38b/$= $2442 and December 85470baht/34.72b/$= $2461. So it seems the banks exchange rates and what you recorded vary. As well as what I get on searches. So about $2450/month equals x. Then ( 38x) = (34.72x) + 8036baht. This shows shortfall of 8036 baht. Or 3.28x = 8036 baht. That is x = 8036baht/3.28baht/$= $2450/mo
  14. With correct exchange rates: 36.4 Nov and 34.6 Dec. So 92500/36.4 = $2541/month income. Then your short fall this month would have been 4066 baht not 7322 baht. Maybe bank fees: (36.4) (2541) = (34.8) (2541) + 4066
  15. Assuming 38 baht last month and 34 baht this month. With a little algebra: 38x = 34x + 7332. Then. 4x=7332. That's $1833/month
  16. Samae beach
  17. We took one of the ferry boats to Samae beach. It moored just offshore and then take shoreboat to beach. Shop around. This might have been one of the Russian ferries
  18. You don't have to go to the packed beaches. From the main port charter songkow to any of the other more remote beaches
  19. No! 32 caliber. That is .32 of an inch. There are 25.4 mm/inch. So that would be about 8mm. .32mm is about the width of a line drawn with a pen.
  20. Ok Thai travelers . I read the article and the context and emphasis is most definitely on travelers as domestic tourists .Ie family trips up country. Not conflating commuters in the count. Also a count like this is counting the same Thai travelers over and over again every weekend
  21. From the headline: Number of domestic Thai tourists. Maybe you should visit Pattaya on a weekend in order to understand. The roads are a parking lot and they ain't non Thai tourists driving around in circles all day
  22. You are right about Jomtien . Pattaya is a mess.
  23. If dis guy beat up a young woman - of course lock him up. And that is most likely what happened. All some others and I are pointing out is that some of these girls can blow up . When this happened to me I went on defense only and restrained her until she calmed down. By the way I'm 70kg so these girls are more than half my weight and being farm girls they are very strong. So what are you going to do if defense fails. Best to have plan on what defense just in case.
