Gulf of America.
So what, we call the Stretch of water between England and France "The English Channel". The French call it "La Manche" ( the sleeve). Pretty much the rest of the world calls it La Manche. The world will no doubt continue to refer to The Gulf of Mexico as The Gulf of Mexico! -

Dispute with landlord re moving out/ accused of "breach of lease/contract"
I'm moving out of the apartment complex at the end of Jan, where I have rented one unit for the last 5 years. On 31st Dec 2024 I gave notice to management by doing the cancellation of the rental contract via their LINE account. I chose the date of the cancellation as 31 Jan 2025 so that fulfilled the one month advance notice requirement. They, the management, are supposed to reply with confirmation after 3 to 5 business days. A week prior to that, on 25th of Dec 2024 per normal schedule I received their monthly invoice, which included utilities for Dec and rental for Jan. On 05 Jan 2025, when payment is due, since I had not heard anything from management regarding my moving out/cancellation notice, I sent them an email as a reminder and asked them to send me a new invoice that reflect only the utilities part for Dec. as the Jan rent should be taken out of the last month rent that was part of my moving in deposit (advance rental + security deposit.) Yesterday 08 Jan, still cricket from management I and my Thai partner went down to the front desk to meet with the on-site manager. She told me that I'm breaching the contract/lease before it expires mid May 2025 and therefore I still have to pay rent for Jan. When I signed the original contract when moving in mid May 2020, it was explained to me that I was required to honor the one-year length of that contract, meaning if I move out before the end of the contract (it could have been just 6 mos if I remember correctly) then I will be breaching the contract and suffer the penalty (forfeiting the move in deposit). However, when the contract is renewed every year onward, that penalty no longer applied. I could move out anytime as long as I gave the one month advance notice. This waiving of penalty was explained to me only verbally, and since this was the prevailing norm which I had also experienced when moving out of the previous rental I did not really eyeball the contract (which was written in Thai) with their manager at the time (turn around of on site managers has been high lately.) The contract is renewed every year mid May and the last renewal was May 2024. Yesterday at the meeting with the current manager when I raised this issue, she shook her head and pointed to the expiration date of the current contract/lease which is mid May 2025 and said if I moved out before that date it's a breach. In the meantime I still have to pay Jan rent. She also mentioned - the whole discussion was in Thai via my partner - that there was a memo regarding the penalty issue. Which again, if there was, has not been communicated to us prior. In any event they cannot just unilaterally going back on the original agreement. The fine print of the current contract says, in English: "If the lease term is completed there is a right to receive a refund of the security deposit." It says nothing about the "advance rental" part of the moving in deposit (advance rental + security deposit.) So what is my option? The management is a big, faceless entity headquartered in downtown Bangkok and the on-site management pretty much serves as messenger with little authority. Thank you much in advance for any advice/input. -

Idiotic Room Rate Calculation Pattaya 2024 Style
The accommodation business, worldwide, is based on nightly rates. Some premises will offer a discount subject to certain conditions, if you do not agree with these conditions you are at liberty to go elsewhere. Many businesses have a different rate for for fixed packages,do you complain about them all? After 25 years in Thailand I know more than most about accommodation and the only valid question is the nightly rate appropriate. -

Kazakh man reports Phuket investment scam run by Ukrainian and Thai men
Well, 2 things. 1.) Airport prices are always astronomical. 2.) American franchises are already high priced even outside airports. Chances are that the price of the extras were on the menu but she failed to check and assumed they were cheap or free. Too bad people get caught unaware. I never buy food at American branded franchises. That’s not why I came here. Lastly, hearsay stories often get exaggerated with each retelling. -
