  1. Fair enough, but I don’t see the big deal, just let the police do their job already and don’t forget to arrest all the law breaking locals while you’re at it. Again if you invite in massive amounts of people—many visa-free—you have to expect some nonsense from unscrupulous types. Whatever happened to quality over quantity?
  2. 👍 Kudos. That’s the way to do it. Hopefully it will wake up the rest of the country to do something about this farce. 10M pee’d off Thais on the streets might make a difference.
  3. Swiss tech? What a joke. They are only a thing because they whimpered behind others coat tails and got paid. Old hat tech.
  4. Sucks. Agoda or phone direct to reserve and pay when there. If they won't have the latter, go elsewhere. Did notice a while back that people were getting scammed in going through Bookingdotcom. Dunno what happened there.
  5. Stop the F burning and ban all those disgusting tuk-tuks for starters!!
  6. His guy already said the relationship was heavy, dude, and they were both tooling one another up, so I think we can garner from that that he is no Mark Poppins. Thailand already has enough issues with troublesome farangs. He might have a stamp in passport, a doc, both or none. But if he must I would get a Thai to call immigration in Bkk and drill down. Probably best not to ask his misses though.
  7. Also, these guys should be forgiven because without the Brits and Americans, the whole world would be speaking German and Japanese and be drinking good beer... oh, wait!
  8. This happens a lot with Thai people and property overseas. It is called ownership. I'm surprised nobody is pointing!
  9. Beautiful. Even one of those darlings cruising overhead at an airshow is nuts. Imagine dozens of them with big guns flat-out in anger! Esp enjoy the Hurricane. Was at Yeovilton 2019 and, while the jets are amazing, when this lot float over it is just next level. Digressing--sorry Gamma--but will never forget the Vulcan howl at UK airshow in the 80s as a kid. Chest absolutely bounding!
  10. Nice one, Crossy. Remember that well -- "F me!" lol Those V-12 Merlins are LOUD, esp full throttle 6 foot from your ear. Gamma, why don't you use an Otteri launderette? They're cheap and are everywhere nowadays, all have driers .
  11. Gin and vodka not too bad, but I will just continue to drink the monopolised dishwater beer. Good in a way because there's only so much one can take before one's taste buds have had it and it's time to call it a night.
  12. Probably not come in yet but have noticed 7-11 upped their wine in multiple locations in a not very touristy town. 500 baht for an okish cab, which would be 200 baht in UK. 699-999 when you start getting half-decent recognisable names??? 55555. No thanks. Could be wrong, but from what I gather, something like 100 baht ish could come off a potential 500 baht bottle of wine (at the customs end). Duty needs to be properly axed (most of it) and genuinely passed down to consumers (big fines for those not cooperating) for this government ands cronies to join the 'league of nations' and wine industry to take off. But won't happen because of the donkeys sifting off the top and the so called protectionism for the Thai wine industry (😂😂).
