I think that we should support Lolitas make them sucksess

I think that this is a good industry to have here in town and we should stop by and poke around - I know I will. They just need to get the hard part out of the way and they can make a good taking here. If they have competitors, they can swallow them up to cream off the market. Everyone should be pum...

of course you need health insurance

sometimes you are too ill to get on a plane and return home. And if you get in deep trouble, it may cost more in medical bills than your holiday home.

Given that it is a pretty cheap item here, of course you need it

While I would agree that bar areas all over the world have generally higher crime rates, to call the bar areas of Hua Hin a "Red Light District" is convincing proof that this writer does not know of what he speaks - both in regard to red light areas and Hua Hin itself. It is also potential...

Hi Wanderlust- I share the perception that there has been an increase in the problems between Thais and foreigners since I have been in country too. But I would also say that there has been an increase in problems among the Thais themselves as well during that time. The easy going nature which greas...

"Never Been Conquered" needs to be narrowly defin

Certainly the Khmer people, mostly mon race at that time, controlled almost all of what is Thailand today and built many Khmer temple sites to prove it. The Burmese brought down Ayudhaya, but that was the last of many wars fought between Thais and Burmese, some of which Burmese handed Thais total de...

Not too sure I understand the basis of the discussion here

The underlying premise of the first post was the erosion of respect for foreigners and later posts deal with the hypothesis of Thai concern ramping up into a disquiet. Now, I have oonly lived in Thailand for 7 years and mostly in Bangkok, but do people feel that respect has a lot of meaning in Thai ...

great Bangkok hotel for Airport access

We found the Ibis on the Accor hotels web site has been offering a room for 800 baht a night. It is pretty plain, but what a deal. They are in Ramkaenhang soi 7 or so, right beside The Mall (there are really two malls) with great parking and plenty of restaurants. In the morning it is a straight sho...

Experience in setting up Juristic entity to manage estate?

We are faced with this now and are particularly interested in what is the law regarding the project developer's obligations on hand-over to the residents. Would love to see it in English, but if anyone has it in Thai that is fine too. Anyone done this? We all fear that our developer is going to leav...

one more thing

If you are going to play that much golf in Pattaya area, you may want to consider joining the Pattaya Sports Club (I think a one year membership is 400 baht or so, plus you need to bring a passport size photo) The have a 25 percent discount program for all of the courses on the peninsula (about 38 a...

I can't post the URL as a new member

But there is a web site that "hint" appeals to "Thai golfers" that you should be able to find pretty easily. They have information on all courses in Thailand and you can even join and print out a discount card which some of the courses will offer (Imperial Lake View is one member...
