varun Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Foreign 'study trip' = 1) Sightseeing for mia-noi, using taxpayer money 2) Sightseeing for merry band of Somchai cronies, using taxpayer money 3) 5-star accommodation, using taxpayer money 4) Wine and cheese tasting, using taxpayer money 5) Designer brand shopping for mia-noi, using taxpayer money 6) Thai airways business class flights (for mia-noi(s) and merry band of Somchai cronies), using taxpayer money In summary, a luxury vacation paid for with...you guessed it! - taxpayer money Actual study and investigative work involved = 0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder66 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 He should also go to Sydney and visit Kings Cross until 4am......ohhhhh, I forgot: they stopped people entering after 1am about 4-5 years ago after all the drunken brawls and numerous one-punch deaths caused by massive drinking sessions there. Surely there's no risk of that happening in Bangkok.....;-/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk There are alot of uninformed souls out there who do not know much about that which they profess. Pattaya is a large city, with the best go carting in Thailand, great golf courses, gorgeous areas to the east, good food if you know where to look, good malls, great motorcycle dealers and much more. Granted, there is quite a scene there. But it is easy to live there and never partake of that side of life. Sometimes best to just ignore the ninnies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Soi 6 were 3 prostitutes. They have been removed as reported in the news recently. So yes - the sex business seems to be over. ???? But many bars don't have a lot of customers. But somehow this was always like this. I am still wondering after all the years here how they survive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Italy is the perfect example of how Thailand should be! Real police, strict traffic rules, smoking on terraces allowed, great boulevards and beachroads, cheaper than thailand, very clean sea, very clean lakes, everywhere is safe..... But there already is an Italy!! And also a Spain! And a Corsica and Portugal! So why would tourists go to Thailand where nobody speaks english and all costs double?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
