    You don't know me, or how I am. I never complained about LOS in my early decades there as it seemed like paradise to me. It only went bad after 2000 IMO, though Thaksin started the rot.

    I remember the reason the Yaa Dong carts disappeared was that Thaksin stipulated that the herbal medicinal hooch had to be registered and sold as pharmacy type drugs

     

    Used to be a good start to the evening a few 5B shots of 'Sua Sib Et Tua' and others .

    Obtain a tourist visa and enter at BKK. 

    Why bkk? Seems others are saying chiang mai

    I was stopped at BKK on this visit by the head shaking Imm officer flicking through my passport pages, taken to the supervisor desk and shouted at and harangued for having 2 covid and TR visa extensions in the last 2 yrs .. told to get a long term visa not a TR visa and given contact details of a 'visa consultant'

     

    I was entering on the 45 day + 30 days extension they did not like that one bit .. had to fill in a form to give extra personal details address phone email hotel and warned if I try to to enter without a visa again I could be Deported!!!!

     

    So I would recommend entering at CNX next as I would be doing  ... they obviously have something going on at BKK

    There was a Thai style agogo that John owned just across from his place on the small soi, they had a couple of sofas and arm chairs, couple of girls wearing shorts and t shirts on the poles. That was approximately 1997.

    They used to wear a lot less than shorts & t shirts during the soapy show

     

    My mate who had met John at JP went into a Patong Go Go a few days later and was baffled as to why he was there .. "I'm his twin brother" uh ok ..

     

    I was told at the time the 'Hi Hi So' who was upset with the Loh Kroh scene was a 'Male' and wanted it all shut down

     

    So it's time to remove the John Place 20% discount card from my wallet then

    It isn't rocket science to get it right regardless of LHD or RHD, I've driven both extensively. I wonder if it was a Chinese tourist in their LHD vehicle getting confused.

    I've seen the Chinese tourists on scooters wandering to their 'right' side of the road around Pai until they realise they have to get back to the proper left side when a huge Hilux is about to wipe them out ..

     

    A few years back some Isreali C*&4t in a rented 4x4 smashed into locals near Chiang Dao killing them after forgetting to drive on the left

    Does any one know if Mae sai has scooter monthly rental ?

    I used to rent a scooter for a few days from the Honda Dealer 'Greenwing' on the main road, you could try them

     

    I also rented from a chap on Thetsaban 21 after the arcade on the left side but cannot see his place now on street view so I reckon Greenwing is your best bet

    I don't know why people hit gold shops.  This is like the third heist in as many months up here in Lamphun and the cops always catch the robbers.  :thumbsup:

    Look at the lack of security, it's an easy target.

     

    Getting away with it is another thing altogether due to stupidity and grasses mainly.

    Yes get caught so quickly as the morons forget that all Thai urban streets are covered by CCTV

     

     

  8. In Chiang Mai 60B at a barber shop most places have a price list written in Thai .. I let the barber know I can read the correct price and tell him that is what I will pay

     

    If the Falang can not read the price list it will be 100B+

    With no Chinese to feed them they should be reducing in numbers anyway.

    I'm in CM and I know of 2 premises nearby where some nutty local is feeding them, pigeons are now wandering about on the Sois and roads in my neighborhood and a few are getting splattered by drivers who will not slow down to avoid killing them .. unlike myself
