  1. Really? You do surprise me! Even on Samui, some of the "Tourist Attractions" have double or triple pricing for foreigners!
  2. My wife is from Esan and was shocked at the prices on Samui - then she went to Koh Phangan! (And not at "Party Time") She couldn't believe the prices charged for even basic Thai meals and water! I hesitate to think what the "farang" prices are!
  3. I'm not a child, or even a baby "GOAT", but I do get bored with these "if you don't like it - go home" posts. Nothing or nowhere is perfect, andf I don't expect it to be, but that still doesn't mean that if I'm not happy about a particular situation or statement, I should just "put up or shut up"!
  4. "grumpy expats and entitled boomers" " If you don't like the way Thailand does things go back where you came from." ".....if you don't like it, leave!" Yawn and double yawn and even triple yawn!!!
  5. Par for the course - it just makes a change for the Thais to be shown as the "Bad Boys" in the media, instead of the deluge of bad press foreigners have been getting recently! Or maybe it's just a token gesture - what's the odds that the next person/persons misbehaving will be listed as "foreign" in the headlines on AN?
  6. "Then blame foreign wars as an excuse." The last can to carry the blame for price hikes and delays in delivery was Covid-19. Any prospective reductions in the price of imported wine will probably meet the same fate - despite the lowering of import taxes and duties.
  7. Like a suitable photo to accompany the story - a photo of a vest on a policeman's back does not convey much information!
  8. OK - English is a "funny" language - maybe I should have said "surprisingly"? "Sick inquisition"? "Morbid much"? 😕 I was merely pointing out that in this country it is not unusual for personal items of value to be taken/stolen in circumstances that woud be considered "taboo" in my old home country.
  9. "Boontob pointed out the lack of awareness among Thais about alcohol’s effects, particularly impaired decision-making while driving." The way some of them drive it would appear to be irrelevant if they've been drinking or not!
  10. April’s alcohol sales are set to double in comparison to other months, except for December where they traditionally triple or even quadruple Better?
  11. "The CEO of Carabao Group, Sathien Sathientham, predicts that April’s alcohol sales are set to double, except for December." Am I reading that right? 😕
  12. I see your point about the quantity, but I think that there is a high possibility that he had some cash on him even if it was a tragic accident. I know that anyone on a night out carries cash to pay for their evening's entertainment, and I think it doubtful that the reason why he went home alone/missing was because he had no money left!
