View Talay 8 - renting for 6 to 9 months, how is it?
Felt to 'in the action' for me. Anything that central is going to be pretty noisy and attract a lot of sex tourists, people bringing hookers up to the rooms all the time, partying, etc. Those are the type of people that like to steal. An elevator card would not protect you much, many times people are invited in then roam around. They are not necessarily escorted out by the resident. Remember, this is Pattata with people coming in from all over the world and they are looking for the center condo's like that right near the beach. -

And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal
We need to know why others are leaving. It also helps people decide if they want to burn bridges or not when moving over here. Plus, I like hearing complaints. -

Bernie Sanders
I had started a thread about Bernie a while ago. Didnt get too many replies. Noam Chomsky said he has the best policies. Yes, he cares about the people TOO MUCH. That's why the elites 1% club who runs the country won't allow him to get elected. They just dangle him in people's faces. But most people are so brainwashed by fake politicians that they are unable to perceived Bernie's value, as evidenced by the previous poster's comment. People wouldnt be able to recognize a good political candidate if you put a shotgun to their heads. -

California Doctor Sues Thai Restaurant Over Spicy Dish Burns
Sketchy litigation coming from a "physician" who specializes in the treatment of "headaches". Not mentioned is that the restaurant specializes in spicy hot dishes and is known for those dishes. Lawsuit is blaming a worker for adding too many peppers to the dish. Walia claimed the chicken-based dish "scalded her vocal cords and esophagus with fiery flavors “unfit for human consumption . For reference sake, her medical diploma was awarded at Ross University School of Medicine, a private, for-profit medical school, in Barbados. Until 2019, the university's main campus was in Portsmouth, Dominica. RUSM is owned by Adtalem Global Education Inc. a for profit business entity. -

Thailand to Implement 300-Baht Tourism Tax Starting with Air Travel
No I am not "wrong".You are using an airline ticket that is not issued in Thailand. You have missed the point, that airline tickets issued in Thailand by some carriers obscure the airline charges. In Thailand, airlines are allowed to declare a lump sum. It is a practice long ago stopped in Australia, USA, UK and EU. It is deceitful for an airline to present all of the charges, taxes and fees as a lump sum. This gives the impression that all of the charges do not originate with the airline. If I go to the Air Asia website and put in a basic DMK-KUL-DMK itinerary, it returns the following; Base fare USD 106.24 , Taxes, fees & surcharges USD 78.03, Add-ons USD 14.85, Total Amount USD $199.17 If a bag, seat and meal are selected, the add on cost increases to $110.89 with a total of $295.02 The charge for airport and taxes is unchanged. The invoice does not include a description of how the add on total is calculated. Here's where the issues arise; i. Part of the add on cost is not requested by the passenger and is a negative option purchase, meaning that if not specifically rejected, is automatically charged. (This is not allowed in many jurisdictions, particularly those which forbid abusive selling practices) ii.- The tax is not shown as a separate line item -The passenger immigration fee is not shown as a separate item -The separate visitor fee is not shown as a separate item. -Sometimes an airline fuel surcharge is included but not declared as such I provided the line split that is shown when an airline ticket is issued outside of Thailand; For reference sake, my round trip on TG to Tokyo next month is invoiced with these charges in Thai baht; Advance Passenger Processing User Charge 68 International Arrival & Departure Fees 30 Passenger Service Charge - Thailand(TS) 728 Some Thai airlines do not include this split in their invoicing. Nor do they specifically declare their own add on costs, other than as a total amount. This is why it is misleading. It's like advertising round trip airfares to KUL for 500 baht, without declaring the airline surcharges, fees and taxes.
