ECLV Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Okay this may be a test ???? I am ready for it. I have left Thailand about 5 years ago or more and when I used to be an active member Digital Nomads were the lowest of the low, Member SoiBiker used to get a lot of abuse ???? is he still here. There used to a Visa genius of a moderator on the Forum from up north Thailand sorry forget his name. Experienced members gave English Teachers a hard time especially the illegal people. Other than that has the Forum or Thailand changed since the stricter regulation on Visa came in that drove many home or to neighboring countries?

I am currently drinking an IPA from Lidl only 1.37 Euro a 330 ml can and surprisingly good, I was surprised when i returned home Thai Food is one of the most expensive meal/take-away while so inexpensive in Thailand.

Popular Post robblok Posted August 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2020 Pensioners have become a lot less vocal (about other visa's) since they could no longer just get a letter to state they had money and now actually have to have it on a Thai bank. That took the wind out of a lot them. Still plenty of people looking down on others based on money. I think that will never change. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came here expecting to find the high season and, just before going into quarantine, met a girl who told me she didn't work in a bar. Now, 2 weeks later, I'm out of quarantine and want to marry her and buy her a condo in Pattaya so that I can get a yellow book and pink ID before we move to Vietnam. Do you think a bum gun is sufficient sin sod for her? 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 The biggest change I have seen over the past five years, are regular posters who have turned into exactly the type of poster, they used to hate. In fact, some of them have posted on this thread. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
