Most villas on Koh Samui are advertised on AirBnb. Most villas rent out by the day with deals for weeks or months. Many have a 'hotel' licence . 'Legal' or not, no idea but the government/TAT know about it. AirBnb is a commonly used platform in the major tourist areas. (I use it when booking weekend breaks.)

And then I have always have had to pay a deposit on or before check in. Usually 80%.

Not easy to slit someone's throat if one cannot walk.

Confirmed in the Thaiger article

Or maybe their home in Gaza has been bombed?

And if Israel do that, they will loose. It is always the way when fighting extremists. The 'good' guys follow the rules, the 'bad' guys don't give a frock.

Not in Tie Land ???? Sorry. I will close the door as I leave.

Of course Putin will ally to Palestine. That will distract from his illegal invasion of Ukraine. The more money and weapons going to support Israel will mean less money and weapons for Ukraine.

The PBS article is quite good but I wonder how true their observations are. eg Do we really believe that the military are not in control? The military appointed senators changed the election outcome against the will of the majority and they are still in place. There are quite a few 'military' still pulling strings.

We use these - they use less electricity. https://www.homepro.co.th/p/181691 Refill with these https://www.homepro.co.th/p/181688

There is zero justification for these terrorists to go wilfully, gleefully and knowingly into civilian areas and murdering innocent men, women and children.

No surprises here. October/November have always been low season. This means less tourists. ????

Note to Nali An amazing and sad story. Sorry that I cannot help but I wish you all good luck in your new life.

Of course, the CCP government never lies.

The embassy cannot become involved in criminal cases. All they can do is to provide a list of recommended lawyers. If you go to gaol, then the embassy can support you. This all happened as they were checking out of the hotel. That was when she realised that she did not have the hotel key. She was paying the bill, the boy went to fetch the key from the nearby shop. She could not leave Thailand as she was arrested for the assault. The boy left as planned. I believe that she is still in Thailand facing the assault case.

No. She sold the land 15 years ago. Relatives came and took the money. They keep stealing any money this lady gets. Sad story - in The Thaiger

Like Thailand?

There are not many countries where blatant vote buying is openly accepted. I ❤️ Thailand.

These Palestinians are the same ones that kill innocent civilian men, women and children. And you want respect for them?

Totally disagree with your comment re good/bad parenting. My mother treated both my sister and I the same . I respect the law, never hit people (especially women) and try to be polite to everyone. My sister is a criminal. Wanted by the police and when I caught her stealing cash from our mother and grandmother I kicked her out of the house. We never saw her again. Some people just grow up bad. It is usually from the people that they mix with. Social media now is a BIG influence on kids. People forget the innocent victims of crimes like this one. Parents, siblings, children etc. I am not judging this kid's parents, but they will be hurting as well. Not the same as the family of the poor women who died, but they will still be hurting.

Ditto Bandon Hospital.

Sadly, most people these days do not think about the old mantra - Mirror, signal, manoeuvre. RIP young lady.

You can also include Samui immigration office in that list. As online registration is painless, I register every time that I return home. ????
