  1. I am a Committee member and i think it's worth it. After all this is my home and i want to have a say in how it is run/maintained. It is not a big time commitment and hey i am retired i have plenty of time. Mostly farangs on our Committee which helps. Also important i think to keep on eye on the finances and who is not paying their common fee.
  2. Or they could tell shops to let thieves just help themselves. Oh they already do that......
  3. He could make an almost perfect Rolex for $500. A real one costs $50,000. Who is the real thief?
  4. I would be interested to know what is "so much cheaper". I can get a large beer in Pattaya 70 baht, a large chicken/rice dish for 60 baht, tuktuk 10 baht, farang meal 199 or even 99 baht etc. Same prices in 7/11. I have travelled there and didn't notice any big differences in price.
  5. Maybe they could retrain as firemen. There will be a big demand to put out all the EV fires.
  6. The new rules are as clear as mud but i am assuming that i will need to submit a tax return next Jan - Mar 2025 on all monies remitted here during 2024. If i can prove they were subject to UK tax then there should be no Thai tax to pay.
  7. You wouldn't get a taxi on the 19th, the roads are gridlocked. I remember making the mistake of get a van from Bangkok to Pattaya on the 19th. Once we hit the outskirts of town it took 5 hours to get home.
  8. I bet they are all salivating at the thought of all those brown envelopes.
  9. Early/late flights are useless because it ends up costing more with taxis or hotels. Plus they mess up 2 days of your holiday.
  10. Good news. Fairly obvious that an ex security guard couldn't afford a 1 million baht a month villa unless there was something very dodgy with his business.
  11. After dark is even worse. You might might be going out dressed to dinner in the evening and get a bucket of dirty water thrown over you.
  12. Love my Hafele, about 1300 from Lazada
  13. Can't afford real cars so they go for racing milk floats
  14. Where is "much cheaper". I have been all over Thailand and (apart from Bangkopk) prices for normal day to day stuff are very similar to Pattaya.
