Popular Post newnative Posted October 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2022 'Will allow 200 more cars to park along the beach.' As if that is a good thing. Meanwhile, more trees lost, more concrete added, more nature removed, and more congestion, not less. Planning should be focused on reducing the number of vehicles on Beach Road not adding them--with more parking garages and some sort of trolley running where the current beachside parking is now. 13 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post morrobay Posted October 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2022 Outside of the contract/kickbacks this is only going to benefit the thais with their cars. This project looks to be going through the high season. So as with past consecutive projects that damaged the European mini summer high season along the beach. There will now be another crowd of Westerners who not only will not be coming back but who also may cancel/change plans when they see this ongoing construction mess. Again they talk up quality tourism but cannot stop screwing this place up for Westerners. I don't even think the Indians are going to put up with it. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Screaming Posted October 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2022 It's all about money in Thailand, the environment has little value to most Thais unless one can make money off of it. The cutting of trees and addition of parking spots on Breach Road will add to the pollution and degradation of the walking path and beach. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to disappoint but my first introduction to Thailand, I did not seek either brothels, brides nor orgies.

As a result I have been here over a decade and now with a Thai wife and Stepdaughter. I have only good memories of the earlier days and Thai females.

morrobay Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 This is the promenade before these bogus projects. A very nice environment for all. But this scene where Westerners met local women had to go. Mission accomplished city hall. It's going to be about all thais along the beach now. Pickup parties motorbikes mutually exclusive for Westerners on vacation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me break or keep dreaming. Are you living in Thailand with a "wife visa" now? Now read with comprehension. No brothels, no orgies but I was with Thai girls. I was a fat boy in a candy shop … but then, no, that was not the main reason for coming as I was retiring and could not afford living in my own country). And yes, I have an education so the culture, including the temples, etc., was part of my retiring in Thailand (main consideration, lower cost of living). Ha! Yes, I am living the dream … Retired in Thailand for over a decade, with a traditionally raised Thai Wife and Stepdaughter (it is like stepping back to the 1950 USA). I am on a Visa for reason of retirement as it is less paperwork. I encourage you to expand your knowledge concerning Thailand. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what it is exactly that attracts one person to another. From long experience it seems to be a combination of many things, not just one thing. Some are attracted by a smile, an easy going nature, my wife upon meeting, said the first thing was my photo, as we met online (we were lucky, as "there be dragons! For both foreign men and Thai girls). Are you are thinking money? Sure that plays in the world round ... in "developing countries" without social safety net for females ... economic security is certainly a consideration. I did background reading before coming. Part of Thai culture is wanting to establish where you fit in within the "social pecking order". How old are you? (Asia - age gains respect). What is/was your occupation? (Professions get more respect). How much do you make? (Wealth holdings gain respect). Do you have a steady source of income? (Economic security in a lower cost country is judged important). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
