Yup. Can't go two meters in Nana without running into an African drug dealer, pimp, or hooker. They're really just a waste of space and a constant annoyance. Should round them up and deport anyone who's working illegally (which is almost all of them). Even the ladyboys are more pleasant.

Depends. Pretty much any girl active on a dating app will sleep with you on the first date if she likes you, so it's basically the cost of the meal and/or drinks. Not free, but definitely cheaper than a freelancer or bar girl. These days in Bangkok working girls have gone bonkers- recent quotes I've heard were 6k, 10k, even 30k. Bar girls are probably more sane but bar fines have gone up and it'll still cost ya 5k+ between drinks, bar fine, and "tip".

There is no way a gogo bar is paying 1.2mil a month rent. They'd need to sell on average 500+ drinks a night just to cover rent and salaries. Possible on a busy night sure, but not every night.

Every high season they go crazy greedy. Every low season they cry no tourists. Don't worry- give it a month or two and there won't be "over-tourism". What the hell is "over-tourism" in an island that it's entire economy revolves around and depends on tourism? without tourism Phuket is just another island. Don't get me wrong- I'm all for less tourists, they drive up prices and cause the greed meter to go bonkers which hurts us expats too, but imposing yet another stupid tax is just....stupid and greedy.

Should've at least been arrested. If he tried to forcefully drag a random woman to do who-knows-what then why tf did they let him go to potentially do it to another woman? (if he knows the woman or it's his gf or something then it's a different story - but if he tried to drag a stranger somewhere that's a rape attempt)

How exactly is revoking his visa different than deporting him? same result. As far as immigration deeming him undesirable - how is that different than discrimination? if his "victim" was someone less connected and/or he wasn't a foreigner neither police, immigration, or the court would handle the case as harshly as they are.

Landlords are just doing what the market dictates: if they think there is more demand than supply they raise prices. If and when they realize there's no demand at those prices they lower. Locally demand is very low for pricey condos, but tourists compare it to prices back home and are happy to pay inflated prices because they don't think or realize they're overpriced. Low season, here we come. 🔥

That's the worst bs story I've ever heard. 100% not what happened for sure. Send him and his friends to rot in jail PLEASE! It's absurd that a Swiss idiot is facing jail and deportation for bruising some bitch's ego, while these actual criminals put two men in hospital and they'll probably walk away with a small fine. Ohh, and "foreigners"? Chinese or Myanmar or something similar. These are not who we think about when you say "foreigners".

Obviously drunk off his mind (if not drugged). Disgusting but I don't think it's disrespectful - he had no idea what he was doing so respect doesn't come into the equation. No doubt however that the racist/xenophobic mob out there would condemn all foreigners based on this incident. Thailand really is better without tourists. They drive up prices, overcrowd the place, and give us all a bad name with singular ridiculous incidents like this. My rent has gone up 30% since tourism restarted - it's not much of a dent but it's annoying and overpriced in relation to the rest of the country. Will probably move when my contract ends and no doubt landlord will jack up price again.

I'm not saying the guy isn't guilty - he is and he should be punished. But he should be equal under the law, and the typical punishment for a kick is not jail and deportation. In this case because the case went viral and the doctor has connections you have top government intervening and basically telling the court to go harsh on him - that is discrimination. He should be made to pay a fine, pay the good doctor some money for her alleged "trauma" (bs), and move on with their lives. Instead you have the attention-seeking doctor keep holding press releases, top government doing the same - for what? a kick that didn't even leave a bruise aside from her ego? it's ridiculous. Give the man a fine and move the **** on already.

Keep telling yourself that while you poison anyone around you. Do some research- it is not harmless and it is not "water vapor". It is full of chemicals like formaldehyde, benzene, diacetyl, and a whole bunch of other substances that are known to cause lung issues.

Anutin once against reaffirming that he is racist. As if us "dirty foreigners" didn't know what he thinks of us already. A Thai kicks another Thai- police won't even prosecute. 500 baht and a wai max. Swiss rich guy vs an attention-whore doctor? prosecution, possible deportation, top of government gets involved. If this isn't discrimination then what is?

Of course it can cause lung cancer. If you put chemicals into your lungs in large enough quantities for long enough time, it's a no-brainer. But lung cancer isn't the only option - there have been thousands of documented cases of EVALI (E-cigarette or Vaping Use-Associated Lung Injury) in the US alone, 96% of them required hospitalization, and some of them died. It's already injuring and killing people.

Just shows how clueless people are to the dangers of vaping. It absolutely IS harmful and particularly harmful to those with allergies or that already have pre-existing lung respiratory issues. Personally I literally choke and start violently coughing up phlegm when exposed to it - it's become a huge problem for me because people are completely clueless and just assume it's ok to vape in your face, anywhere. People smoking in no-smoking rooms is even more ridiculous - you (owners) went out of your way to provide a safe-air space for your customers, only to let mindless drones fill it with vape vapor? Funny that you mention Thailand pollution - or as they call it here PM2.5 - vape vapor literally is smaller than PM2.5 - it IS air pollution. Hopefully this woman gets arrested and made an example of. She broke at least 3 laws - the two mentioned in the article, and the obvious one which is so commonly ignored they didn't even think to mention it - vapes and vaping are illegal in Thailand - it's just no longer enforced which is a shame. The public absolutely needs more awareness that they should not vape in no-smoking areas, it's common sense, but people these days lack common sense.

And you are a clown who cares about no one else but himself. Zero empathy. Great human.
