Protests Threaten Return of Yingluck Shinawatra to Thailand
I was happy to see Taksin go not bc of the corruption but that mess of a drug war. My guess is he could have been indicted internationally in time. Of course, yellow shirt happy af and you recall all that drama of the time. Now in power .. apparently knowing how to rule, but not how to manage a state. So, five years of that nothing and then we have a military coup and the decade economic recession that exists to this day I believe Thailand's better days long behind her. When was last time you heard anyone use the term - land of smiles? Interests are too entrenched and despite the homogeneous nation functioning as a family at times - the wealthy have declared war on their poor cousins I predicted Vietnam would overtake Thailand in a decade, but I think you're already seeing evidence of this. -

You seem to have reading comprehension issues--and it's not helped by selectively taking sentences from my post and then deliberately misinterpreting them. Getting 'stung' at The Base only referred to the shift in renters to Airbnb types. As I said in my post, and left out by you, those owners doing the Airbnb rentals were not stung at all. I chose not to do Airbnb rentals so I decided to sell. Also, I didn't say 'many', I said 'some'--again misquoting. And, I also said it wasn't much of a sting since I made a nice profit, as did others who chose to sell. You conveniently left all of that out, as well. So to review--a rather painless sting, soothed by an easy profit. This shift in renters at The Base had no effect on the value of condos at The Base. I was easily able to sell the condo after a year of renting it out. Others did the same and you have presented absolutely no evidence that owners had trouble selling then--or now. I, on the other hand, did post current condo Hipflat prices at The Base for condos similar to what I sold to support what I said. Some additional Hipflat data for The Base: The average selling price is 121,866 baht per sqm. The average selling price in that area is a little less than 80,000 baht a sqm so The Base remains considerably above the average. It is also considerably above the 99,242 sqm price Hipflat gives for Centric Sea, a large condo project built up the street around the same time. At 121,866 a sqm, that would make a 35 sqm high-floor condo similar to what I owned be worth 4,266,010 baht today. Original owners, including myself, paid around 3MB for these 1 bedrooms so, again, not much of a sting. Your next to last and last paragraphs, both somewhat garbled, are too ludicrous to respond to. -

Strange and annoying things here in land of smiles
A funny story about these scammers calling themselves Buddhist monks here in Thailand. On the way from Isan to Pattaya, my wife and I noticed two monks hitchhiking on the side of the road. One of them was holding out his hand with an empty bottle. Usually, I don't pay attention to these religious figures. But I saw people who seemed to have run out of drinking water, so I stopped the car. We had three bottles of water in the car, and I told my wife to hand them over to them. Almost immediately, I regretted stopping the car: my wife started kneeling before what were essentially her peers (as "that's the only way to interact with these "holy" people"). And then things got even worse. Apart from their lustful looks at my wife, one of the monks pulled out a whole list of needs: they needed money, not just water. They also wanted to travel somewhere 200 kilometers away from where we stopped and were trying to hitch a ride in our car. We barely got rid of these beggars and opportunists by giving them 100 baht. I promised myself never to help these con artists again. -
