  1. Past hour
  2. All that you stated is probably why the Philippines isn't high on most tourist's list. I would wager to say that half of those visiting the P.I. are overseas Filipinos, Filipinos wives and their foreign husbands, and mongers.

  3. Four or Five months is not a typical length for a tourist, red flags automatically and it doesn't sound like you folks are even near retirement age, that's another red flag..... Best way probably would for you two to get engaged and get a fiancée US K1 visa.....
  4. Nothing scares me more than knowing Thai's might try running a Nuclear Power plant.
  5. Yeah right that's why you have to change your name meantime just Freck you are the most hated poster on AN
  6. It sounds like you've put a lot of thought into your plan for investing in condos in Pattaya. The potential for an 8% ROI is definitely appealing, especially considering your long-term goal of moving to Thailand.
  7. Yes, this happened to me just yesterday. We sat on the terrace of the hostel at the Pratamnak and tried to talk. We tried because for the second night in a row there was loud music playing in the laundry "Amporn" next door, making it hard to hear each other. At half past eleven I decided to go and ask the music to be turned down a little so that we could talk normally. When I approached the table, it became clear that the guys were drinking. I spoke calmly and respectfully, but suddenly the Thai woman very rudely told me to get out. I have already noticed a couple of times that in situations when Thai women don’t like something, they immediately raise their tone and begin to speak in a commanding tone. At that moment, I still calmly asked why she was talking to me like that)) She behaved as if I should obey her unquestioningly, although she was very rude at that moment. I don’t know what would really be better to do in that situation, but I joined the conflict and also raised my voice. In fact, it all took less than a minute. She stood up so that the chair fell over. After a couple of sentences, she tried to attack me, but her European husband grabbed her and began to hold her. At that moment she was so mad that she twisted around, grabbed a chair and tried to bring it down on my head. Then I realized that it wasn’t worth it and ran away from her. At this time, women from the hostel, with whom we were trying to talk, came up to me, the administrator guy and the man from the table. He didn’t speak English, but he started poking himself in the chest and I saw that he had a badge on his T-shirt. The hostel administrator explained to me that he was a policeman, this was his sister, and this was not the first such situation. She attacked the hostel owner when he came to talk about the same situation. And EVERYONE around began to convince me that I shouldn’t go to the police, because in the end they would blame me, and her friends would say that I attacked her first. And the people at the table really supported her. Her husband high-fived her, even though what she did was drunken animal madness. I would like to understand whether it is true that in the police a Thai will always be more right-wing than a foreigner? What is the best thing to do in such a situation?
  8. Is stealing something of no value, really stealing ? Not like I would have paid to watch anything I've downloaded. Not even at a 50 baht price for a DVD copy. Regret almost all those purchases in the past.
  9. You are the dumbest poster ever.
  10. Interesting. I see a LOT of listings saying it's owned by a Thai company. So avoid these? When you say illegal, are you referring to a foreigner buying a Thai-owned property/interest?
  11. Just the announcement of plans will create boom for amulet makers. If one day plans are getting close to being materialized, there will be a major bubble in the amulet market. Just hope quality of them indeed will be good. The good news for plant builders is that they can save on cement and safety systems vs western countries.
  12. Face bought? Worst post ever.
  13. Bob, These are drunk arm-chair generals with nothing else to do with their lives but hurt others for their amusement. Now we know how our children feel everyday they go to school.
  14. Your post is a bit confusing. The scammers you are referring to are where online exactly? I buy stuff on Lazada and Shopee online all the time. Never got scammed. I've sold stuff on FB marketplace and all transactions were done by me meeting in person with the buyer. Nobody ever got scammed. Yes, there are lots of online scammers, and across all the social media platforms, even on YouTube. But if you never do business of any kind with an individual that you don't know, and who contacts you out of the blue on the Internet, then it seems impossible to ever get scammed.
