Pattaya Bars Empty Amid Low Season and Shifting Tourism Trends
I first hit the Pattaya bar scene in 2000, granted at first it was a novelty. The girls then were a lot of fun and mingled with the patrons which in turn usually got them a good night out and some money in their pockets. Now they barely get off the ass as they are glued to their phones. If I owned a bar I would ban the girls using their phones during working hours. If they didn't like it I then I'd move them on. -

Thai Woman Fined for Letting Tourist Drive Tuk Tuk in Phuket
Photo via Facebook/ Phuket Times ภูเก็ตไทม์ A Thai tuk tuk owner has been fined after a foreign tourist was spotted driving the vehicle in Phuket, sparking a heated online debate. This incident unfolded yesterday, as a series of photos emerged on social media, allegedly showing the tourist driving the tuk tuk illegally on a Phuket road. The images, shared by the Phuket Times Facebook page, depicted a foreign man waving and giving a thumbs-up while behind the wheel of a distinctly light blue tuk tuk. A caption with the post criticised the foreigner for supposedly working illegally, implying that foreigners are taking jobs meant for Thai citizens. However, many online commenters quickly dismissed this narrative, suggesting it was a harmless attempt by the Thai driver to let the foreigner experience driving the tuk tuk momentarily. Some noted that it was actually the Thai driver who took photos from within the vehicle, dispelling accusations of illegal work. Despite the mixed reactions online, officials from Patong Police Station conducted an investigation. They questioned the tuk tuk's owner, who clarified that a Thai driver had indeed allowed the foreign tourist to drive briefly for fun. The owner further explained that the foreigner, a taxi driver from abroad, was curious about operating a tuk tuk. Though it was confirmed that the tourist wasn't engaged in any paid work, the owner now faces a fine of up to 2,000 baht for permitting someone without a valid license to drive the tuk tuk under Section 56 of the Vehicle Act. The incident highlights ongoing tensions around foreign workers in Thailand, though this particular case seems to stem more from a misunderstanding than a legal transgression, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-21 -

The eternal battle: how much does it cost to live in Thailand.
I have a tiny breakfast and only have one proper meal per day. My typical day - mess about until noon. Work until 4pm. Head to iron pan restaurant and with a coke zero its about 160b. I'll do another hour and by then i will have invoiced £400x42.5=17,000 baht equivalent. Don’t have the time to spend it. Last friday ...??...i think!
