  1. How is he financing his stay in Thailand?
  2. Vaping should only be allowed inside your own home and only for the purpose of quitting cigarettes. Why can't the vapers see that they look ridiculous like giant babies sucking their pacifiers? For me personally Nicotine patches worked just fine, when I quit smoking 30 years ago.
  3. Pony riding on the beach should not be considered an extreme sport, unless you are an unexperienced rider, but how would she be able to proove that? Travel and accident insurances will also not cover, when you are under the influence of alcohol and how many doesn't have a few glasses daily when on holiday.
  4. Since Adam and Eve women have dressed in skimpy clothes to attract men. Today many are even getting breast implants, fillers, tattoos and you name it to feel attractive. There has never been invented any type of clothes, that can be programmed to attract only a certain type of men. Just like in the animal kingdom females has to fight off the unattractive types and mate only with the males that trigger their senses. If women are unable to accept, that all men will see the same thing, they are better off staying home. It's only when perverts are filming these women and posting the videos online it becomes creepy.
  5. Thailands image as a tourist friendly country is cracking more and more every day!
  6. My guess is, that the tourist went to withdraw money to cover an unpaid bar bill. After failing to withdraw any money, the bar staff decided to punch him instead.
  7. He's more likely of chinese origin, judging from his chinese tattoos!
  8. With that behaviour they could in fact be Palestinians with Israeli passports?
  9. The bib don't see anything, if a bribe is paid. They're most likely using the same guys, who couldn't spot prostitution in Pattaya.
  10. Another good reason not to swim at Pattaya beach. When will the jet skis be banned or at least require that the renters are insured?
  11. With 30 million tourists Thailand has already reached it's maximum tourism capacity, as long as the tourists continously are stowed together in relatively few areas like Phuket, Pattaya, Krabi, Hua Hin and Chiang Mai. With 30 million tourists in a few areas, the tourists will not experience the real Thailand, which most of them are coming for and therefore will not be returning to Thailand for future holidays. When tourists have been settled in their destinations, they are all buying tours to the same local attractions, which they have only seen in photo's, where they looked idyllic with no or few people, but these places are in fact crowded with fellow tourists. Anyone who have ever visited the tiny "James Bond" Island or Maya Bay, will know what I'm talking about.
  12. If a house seller has owned a house less than 5 years or have had official adress in the house less than 1 year, there will be a 3.3% specific business tax to be paid of the appraised price or the sales price whichever is higher. If the sales price is higher than the appraised price, it's very common that a house on paper is sold at the appraised price and seller requires the difference to be paid in cash. In this particular case, a 2 million Baht cash payment could potentially save the seller 66,000 Baht in tax payment.
  13. Phuket and Pattaya have become way to violent. Visitors will soon start to select other destinations.
  14. I have usually been required to pay the estimated cost before the surgery and have used my Thai credit card for payment. My last surgery was a little cheaper than estimated, so the cashier at Samitivej Hospital Sukhumvit refunded me the difference in cash after surgery.
  15. Only screening women for HPV, seems to have little to no effect, since they keep getting it from unscreened men! How about screening both men and women for HPV?
  16. Thank you❤️. I hope that this initiative will spread to all win-riders and also delivery riders, who are swarming in quiet sois and villages round the clock, most with their exhaust systems modified to make as much noise as possible.
  17. I welcome any initiative to reduce the added sugar intake in Thailand and hope that it will soon spread to food and bakery as well.
  18. The family continues to hope for the best, as long as others are willing to pay, for keeping him in a respirator.
  19. Best Foods mayo is not comparable to Hellmans in Thailand. Last time I bought from Best Foods, after a few days the mayo was no longer properly emulsified, with a thick layer of oil on top in the glass.
  20. Some sellers on Aliexpress collect vat in Thailand while others don't. I think that this whole thing is going to be a quite messy situation and eventually postponed.
  21. I can personally say that on a good day, a real girlfriend/wife who loves me will always be my preferred choice. But on other days I wouldn't mind trading real love for the girlfriend experience. I strongly believe that in a near future, many men will be tired of womens demands and select to have an AI-generated girlfriend instead of the real thing. It's definitely a better option, than having a Thai bar girl as your "girlfriend", who you speak with and send money to, but only see a few weeks in a year. I have been married for many years and I am against infidelity. I have no wish to get divorced, but if my wife grant me permission, I would consider to get myself an AI-generated mistress on the side in the future.
  22. Prostitutes in Thailand are --very different. They make every customer feel that he is very special! Be happy that you didn't lose all your money, which many others have. Next time don't fall in love with a bar girl - it worked for me.
  23. This morning it had climbed up to 125µg/m³ in my area 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️
  24. Just a few of months ago I found out by chance, that I could get significant discounts on Shopee on the phone-app, which wasn't available on the website. Furthermore I found out, that I had unknowingly also bought Shopee's VIP subscription package, which costs 54 THB a month and gives access to further discounts and free shipping from some sellers. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQn2em-_frdAB2SKXvynHCryun0Tsc8P8rxSA&s
