Watching that clip,with all the pixelated genital areas, could they be JAPANESE? 🫣🤔🙃
No for sure Thais. And they wore gstrings and tops. Not nude. I have access to the original videos. Clearly the katoeys have had the full chop. Small boob jobs.

Looks like they trashed the place also, wonder where the owner is? Personally I would never had rented it to 5 guys asking for trouble,
Owner (not Thai) has a number of Kata properties for rent. With a 5 bedroom he can only get large groups paying premium day rate. I would guess there is a huge deposit.

Lists on AirBB at 42,000 Baht a DAY at this time of the year. 5 bedroom on 3 floors plus a roof garden. Think it's 6 young lads that rented it for a week.

Time to move the governor on to pastures new, and advise the incoming one of his first task.
We get a new governor about every year. This problem has been there for as long as I remember. 20+ years. Only got worse with hotel/condo development at the north side of Karon.

Firstly , apologies if this has been asked before , did check , but found nothing..
I will be arriving at Phuket International Airport from Kuala Lumpur in April and would like to know if there is a fast track lane through passport control for the over 70's.
I have found , through this site , that they have such a thing at BKK.
Last time I arrived on this flight a few Months ago , I had a wait of over an hour and don't think I could go through that again at my age.
Did a lot of searching for this information , but all I could find were some kind of dodgy looking sites charging a steep fee , for so called priority service.
I am an over 70 and usually at Phuket Airport if you contact the airline rep at the arrival gate then the airport authority should expedite your arrival procedures. Personally i never play the elder card, but often the airline staff will offer when seeing the elderly (me).

Kicking myself in the nuts would be my choice.This sort post and all the other similar style display why previous attempts at 'get-togethers' fail. As an original mod of the very old phuket.com I was asked to arrange a get together of members who were mostly tourist visitor. I found that while folks back then chatty on the forum, but get togethers where stale and with much silence.
A never attended the early annual Thai Visa gatherings in Phuket due to location and driving considerations. First I attended was when a Kata venue was selected so I attended. It was well attended but with little inter mingling. Just a lot of cliques old chums having free drinks. As a newbie I was just happy to go home. I believe that was the last Phuket meeting 2006 I would guess. After that Phuket members could not agree on a location for the next year and that was the end of it.
About then all the other regional gathering just fizzled away.

But how do the cops find out which people are on overstay, surely they don't just stop random folks and check their passports?
Do the check in staff have a hand in this?
Immigration control ....

I read about all the trashing of Karon/Kata area. I have to say the construction is not all that bad. There is only a limited amount of building land and it is mostly all regulated, much more regulated than Patong. I have done more than my fair share of building pollution in Patong and Kata. But my Soi in Kata is a well balanced and stable community. Developed with no more building possible. No land available. I enjoy the panoramic sea view from my balcony each morning over Kata Bay. I sigh, marvel, and think how lucky we are.

OK, how many times in your whole life have you gone somewhere and didn't have enough time to get dressed and you went in your underwear ?
How many times have you seen anyone go anywhere in their underwear because they didn't have time to put clothes in ?
Never, it just doesn't ever happen
Seen it plenty times on flights from Spain. Straight from beach. Already checked out hotel. So change at airport.

In this case , a reward would be better ...
Just a small fine would be enough as there was no damage done .
The each paid a small 3,000 baht fine immediately. They did have permits but the 'agent' made a small error in the paper work. Fine should have been the end if but they were whisked up to Bangkok for processing. All very suspect ....

Is is common to have bags searched on these traffic checkpoints?
I only recently began driving scooters in Thailand, and has yet to experience these encounters.
Let's say you are a middel aged male, well dressed and clean shaven, wears a helmet and have a drivers license.
It's not that I would have anything illegal with me, just want to get a feel for what to expect.
Also, If someone were to be caught with 1-5 grams of dried mushrooms, what rection could one realistically expect?
A stiff fine, or is it straight to jail?
Think search more common now. Looking for drugs and guns.
I would say that is all docs in order then no money to be made. Try a bit of searching ....
Be straight to police station. If can pay 'fine ++)' then police cell will be limited. No money then off to the big jail.

Been a long time since I have posted about Patong. I rarely travel over there from Kata. We are well into the process of selling our 2 home rental businesses. One bought and gone the other in negotiation. Rolled into Patong 1996, built apartments, made money, moved over Kata in 2006 when bult a little condo building over there. Witnessed a lot of changes along Nanai Road. Jungceylon was built. Interesting to witness. Happy to not be there any more. Bare able drive along Nani during Covid but not now. Bye Patong.
