A force of 40 officers led by Suphaphon Arunsit of the immigration division descended on Asiatique in the Charoenkrung Road area of the city and the Nana area of Sukhumvit Road, reported Daily News. They found everything normal with tourists having no problems on their Thursday night out. They used the opportunity to talk amicably with overseas visitors to the famous nightlife areas. The visit was made after a number of incidents recently that have had an adverse affect on tourism.

Zeid Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 So in Nana side all those rude yelling Nepalese people have work permits, or thai passports? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alive Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I think the message from visits to places like Nana is it's okay to stretch Thai laws. If you can get away with running prostitution businesses, you can certainly run a small business of other types without fear of the police. Carpe Diem!

No the business doesnt run prositution as prostitution is illegal in Thailand. However if a woman or man wants to go with you thats a private matter between the 2 parties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fookhaht Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hunky Dory? What is that? Sounds like a small Ukrainian boat!!!It's an outdated American expression.

Nope, i was an original photo, I think from the time of the bombing they visited tourist areas to show how safe it is. Pity they didn't look over their shoulder before the snap. Then again, it has provided a few laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could make a lot of money off employees who aren't doing their jobs. Government employees who take a long lunch could pay 500 baht for being out. An employee at Mcds who needs a a couple hours off could pay 500 baht. Late for work take 500 baht out of your pay Great system for companies and the government to make money off their workers. Of course, no bodies are being sold at Nana. None of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClutchClark Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 My wife and I were thinking of going for dinner at Asiatique this weekend. What exactly is the problem with the place? Is it another Nana? soi 8 is as close as we dare go to that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mix of "Englishes" among the expats of various cultures in this forum requires all such questions to be considered legitimate. Next time add an emoticon. It helps.

bbi1 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 "Everything at Nana hunky-dory" - that's great to know. Now they can attract more quality tourists that Thailand has always wanted to Nana. Load up the busses of Chinese tour groups, it's all safe & hunky-dory, imagine the amount of business they could get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
