Is Trump diminishing American influence with his policies?
pomchop replied to spidermike007's topic in Political Soapbox
i guess i missed her setting up fake electors, asking for governors to find her votes and encouraging the violent storming of the capitol to try and overthrow the election. -

almost as tiresome as claiming you won an election four years ago that you clearly lost. -
Pai's Big Bust: 7 Tourists Nabbed for Public Cannabis Use
pomchop replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai
Me and a zillion others were smoking pot in pai long before it was ever legal....but most of us were semi discrete about it. Never had any problem at all. -
Take a look at what is on offer and price. If you don't like it simply go to another vendor til u see what u want at a price that is fair. There are a zillion places to buy mangos especiallly right now as crops are abundant. Guys with truckloads now driving all around pattaya offering some very nice looking fruits at dirt cheap prices. No dramas. Problem solved.

Illegal Condo Rentals Spark Concerns in Thailand
pomchop replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Maybe a smaller old building is best bet...as another poster said those big new massive buidlings with tons of very small units are perfect targets for the "i don't give a crap" owners who ignore the hoa rules and the law and find a property manager who will run a "mini hotel" within the project which the HOA must surely know about but is either incompetent or getting a cut to look the other way. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out if rooms are being rented out short time and which units are involed and who owns them. A warning letter then fines then turn off electric and water to owners who continue to violate or pay fines...problem solved "assuming" the juristic is not on the take. Let these asxwipes know that if you want to be in hotel biz then buy a hotel, get a license, pay the taxes etc. -
Illegal Condo Rentals Spark Concerns in Thailand
pomchop replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
so u love having gangs of short time tourists move into a condo building that you bought that forbids short term rentals and turning it into a hotel....? u might not feel that way if it was a condo you bought thinking that axsholes would not turn it into a hotel? right. -
Illegal Condo Rentals Spark Concerns in Thailand
pomchop replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
action has to come from hoa/jurristic...if they do not enforce by turning off water/electric then good luck.....not just chinese who abuse it all but thais brits americans russsians etc...owners who do not give a crap about anything except $$.... -
Illegal Condo Rentals Spark Concerns in Thailand

Thank airbnb who basically started the short term rental biz and has turned thousands of once tranquil condos and neighborhoods into hotels ....and does not give a crap about anything except how much $$ they make. So of course the chinese and many others think hey we can do that and don't need to give airbnb a cut...People who buy a condo where the rules clearly forbid short term rentals suddenly find they are living in a hotel with people coming and going all hours, elevators crowded with luggage, pool areas packed with too many people, etc...hotels paying license and taxes and short term rental bunch no license no taxes...hotel alliance in many cities have put lot of pressure to stop it...some places they have done it...but the authorities ultimately have to deal with it and not just say mai pen rie. Some buildings in BKK have done a decent job of putting big signs in lobby advising min stay is 30 or more days and asking owners to report any unit they suspect is in violation and then HOA actually fines them and will cut off their water and electric if they ignore the fines. That stops it in it's tracks...of course if chinese or owners are bribing the hoa to look the other way then good luck. -
the absolute king of whining like a little child is the current POTUS...that is literally what he does every single day...there are none so blind as those that refuse to open their eyes...it is all so very very unfair how the orange child is treated.

There will be more and more highrises all around Pattaya under construction. There will be a lot more Chinese living in Thailand along with Indians, Russians, and Pattaya will continue to grow. There is still a lot of undeveloped beachfront or beach near land that is still a bargain compared to most other beach front properties around the world. Jomtien high rises still have miles and miles of beach land to turn into condos and people from all over the world will be drawn to a cheaper more simple lifestyle where they can get away from all the political dramas. The bars will continue to get pushed back away from beach front inland. Poor Thais will continue to be drawn into the Pattaya area to try and make $$ from the increasing numbers of farangs with money to spend. The Thai people will still be some of the nicest people on earth that will put up with all sorts of idiots who come here and show them very little respect.

Family Rush to Rescue British Man With Mystery Illness in Thailand
pomchop replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
ok here is what google says...they also say that gofund me takes about 3% of donations to support go fund me..it does not seem to say that they also verify that the charges from a hospital etc are correct...anyway...at least they do apparently at least attempt to keep fraud down which seems to me could be a massive job with so many easy money scammers around.... Yes, GoFundMe does take steps to verify that fundraisers are not scams, including reviewing each campaign, checking the organizer's identity and relationship to the beneficiary, and holding funds until the recipient's information is verified; however, they do not guarantee that every fundraiser is legitimate, and encourage users to carefully review details before donating. Key points about GoFundMe verification: Trust and Safety Team: GoFundMe has a dedicated team that reviews campaigns to identify potential fraudulent activity. Verification guidelines: Fundraisers are encouraged to provide detailed information about themselves, the beneficiary, and how funds will be used. Beneficiary verification: When funds are raised for someone other than the organizer, GoFundMe verifies the recipient's identity before releasing the money. "GoFundMe Guarantee": In cases where a campaign is found to be fraudulent, GoFundMe may offer a refund to donors. -
Family Rush to Rescue British Man With Mystery Illness in Thailand
pomchop replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I do not know the answer to this question....maybe someone does? Are there any checks by anyone to verify that the story is true before a go fund me thing is shown on this and other sites? For example does anyone actually verify someone is in a hospital and what the bill is and how long there etc? Sure seems to me that would be required to prevent scams/fraud etc. But if it is done who does it who pays them to do it and who do they actually verify it to? Does this and other web sites require some verification before running the story along with the go fund me link? Not accusing anyone of anything but I think everyone knows there are no shortage of scammers who can easily come up with a bunch of pics and a sob story that could look very convincing? Anyone know for sure how this is all sorted etc? -

Future Uncertain for Retiree Bank Accounts in Thailand
pomchop replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Whoever decides to post these stories likely knows it will get a lot of views and is more concerned with the views than whether there is anything other than speculation being posted. Maybe the next stories will be something like: "Baht bus fares proposed to go to 100 baht" or "Thai girls say they like old men with big wallets" or "Old men say Water buffaloes are wimpy sickly animals" or "No more pot on soi pot hole". If and when anything real ever happens that actually gets enforced then maybe take a look. In the meantime, Don't worry be Happy. -

The annoying Beach Rd, Soi 6 and Walking Street clips.
pomchop replied to Confuscious's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Two week millionaires and youtube bloggers who have been in Thailand for two weeks hoping to become millionaires. Clickbait cranks begging for likes and clicks. The wonderful new world where millions of idiots with a phone think they can be a movie star, a celebrity, and get rich quick. Newsflash. VERY VERY unlikely to happen. EVER. -
and the baht bus fare on city runs is still 10 baht a few decades later and no doubt many farangs are still whining about what a rip off it is.
