  1. Describe the perpetrator : " well a bit short with wrinkled yellow skin and wearing a funny hat " ...
  2. What's the punishment or fine for a DWA offense ? Does a mask prevent it from spreading ? DWA ...Driving While Asian ..
  3. I still see every Thai on a motocy passing my place wearing a mask. Same for those walking on the sidewalks. Sidewalks ? Interesting concept. Is that in Thailand ? 55..
  4. A rabs and In Jun's congregating on superbikes after the the last joint ....then a speed contest . Let the games begin !
  5. What they fail to mention is that in January of this year the taxes for foreign owner business increased 100 percent but wait it gets worse. Used to be that the value of your Thai company was based on the underlying asset ( such as the land that your home is on) but that formula has changed and I was assessed the total value of the company ( land plus house plus bank balance ) so my effective taxes went up 250 percent compared to last year. I suspect their little 40 million baht minimum investment scheme will become the "cost basis" for tax purposes. Run Forrest run !
  6. Low tides greater than the mean this month and many ships and ferries being delayed and inconvenienced by the low tides . We were delayed two hours at the Lomprayah pier in Chumphon yesterday morning waiting for the tide to to rise and float the boat....more coffee please !
  7. What a bunch of drama queens. I think you mean Drag Queens masquerading as security guards ...
  8. Maybe it's because it's the last thing they own..a filthy mask makes it hard to identify the perp. Hehe
  9. Happy New Year , relax and enjoy , drink and make merry ! The water play on the beach here ( Hua Hin) is cool and fun but ice in the beer ? My Buddah ...
  10. As an International Ambassador of Good Cheer and Goodwill I can confirm that there are in fact no prostitutes in Thailand. In my travels around the Kingdom I have observed only Social Hostesses and Professional Companions graciously offering to render assistance to lonely travelers. It's a crack-up to read about a crack-down. Will it be a frontal assault or clandestine attack from the rear ?
  11. My Buddah..You're either open or not !! How bout open internally first..Still can't travel freely to many provinces without travel permits (very expensive) Covid tests and or quarantines..
  12. All the alcohol ban has accomplished is to increase traffic deaths due to the increase in alcohol consumption by the frustrated locals racing to beat the curfew on their beat up motorbikes with no lights, no helmets ( but religiously sucking on that filthy mask) . Soi 12's the red light district ? Seems to me it's All a red light district...Massage ? Hehe enjoy the stroll...
  13. They're talking about beach front properties of which availability is slim to nearly none and the prices of these few properties are horrendously expensive and definitely on the rise.
  14. Students have to wait till 5 to get a pint ? Despicable
  15. Been to Bkk nearly every two weeks and around Korat and Kanchanaburi as well . No bars are "open" drinks of course can be had in a cup at selected establishments but every one is careful and guarded in case the storm troopers arrive ...
  16. No restrictions on travel to Hua Hin from Isaan unless you're trying to get across Buriram province as They have self imposed travel restrictions. I've been traveling all around Thailand and just avoid " make a U turn when necessary" when stopped by the thought police. Most of it with the exception of Phuket is a big charade as the majority of police haven't received their proper pay in several months and are simply not motivated which is why most of the temporary checkpoints are unmanned but have food and water available ...Fear factor " Thai style " just a suggestion with no substance. Safe travels...
