  1. Next time the voters will demand payment in advance for their votes, like back in the good old days. I guess that they will take the money and not feel obligated to vote for Pheu Thai.
  2. Tony is back! Hope he still has that condo in Dubai.
  3. This sounds like the average app-delivery bike in Thailand. Did the Kuwaiti's all have valid drivers licences?
  4. or someone else boarded the flight using his passport!
  5. Why not start by offering day to day delivery. I order most stuff from Lazada or Shopee, where delivery from Thai suppliers to greater Bangkok takes at least 2 days.
  6. Most americans are living locally in reservations and don't travel much!
  7. Privacy can look like this:
  8. That would be true, if you will have to pay income tax of the money you transfer to Thailand to buy the condo, as it has been rumored for a very long time. As far as I am concerned, a u-turn has not yet been made on this idea.
  9. Stricter pollution regulations is good, but stricter law enforcement would be better. Also all motorbikes and cars with modified exhaust systems should be removed from the roads.
  10. I wonder what they were thinking about, when making the free trade agreement with China! Maybe some heavy brown envelopes have been distributed?
  11. Could that by any chance be the same committee, that didn't find any prostitution in Pattaya?
  12. The 300 baht tourist tax was probably scrapped because they found out, that the average tourists are already being scammed out of much more than 300 baht, every time they visit the country.
  13. It always amazes me, how a prison sentence can expire, for a convicted felon, if he just flees the country for a number of years. The prison sentence should be waiting indefinitely
  14. The real estate market in China is suffering and has not even hit the bottom yet. Why not invest in other more financially strong markets?
  15. Thank you US. Wouldn't have happened without you.
  16. Another fine example of Dual Pricing in Thailand. This makes me feel, that they don't really want us here, even though they are heavily dependent on our money.
  17. I stopped using Air Asia a few years ago after two consecutively cancelled flights. Air Asia is no longer among the cheapest. I had a credit with them expiring soon and had to pay 8,000 Baht for two return tickets from Bangkok to Phuket including 2x20 kg luggage in September.
  18. Good luck with that. It will be an administrative and logistics nightmare.
  19. This seems like a bulletproof loophole. There will probably be found other ways to get around the demand for taxation. The most obvious way to avoid taxation in Thailand, will be to spend as little money as possible in Thailand, compared to now, where we spend or save all your money in Thailand. I guess that this was not the governments intention with this law. I have already started paying for all my international purchases with my foreign credit card, in order to avoid taxation in Thailand. I am from a country with a double taxation agreement with Thailand and my pension have already been taxed before I receive it. I wonder if I will be able to deduct the full already paid tax, when I transfer only a smaller amount of my pension to Thailand.
  20. My sim is also in my wifes name. This because the phone companies did not allow me to have a post paid account with them, without having a work permit. Why is this information shared only on the day it is effective? Would have been nice to have a little time to get things changed.
  21. Pattaya Police Take Action Against Soi 6 Security Guards for Assault on Tourists https://thepattayanews.com/2024/05/27/pattaya-police-take-action-against-soi-6-security-guards-for-assault-on-tourists/
  22. These are my current favorites: https://www.banyantree.com/thailand/bangkok/dining/romsai https://www.raintreecafebangkok.com/
  23. The video does not match the article, since they were driving in different directions. The video does not show the accident itself, but it is not hard to imagine, that the vendor probably made a right turn in front of the brit who was driving at high speed in opposite direction.
  24. Why did he die in a Bangkok hospital, if the accident happened in Phuket?
