guns

Thai Banks
I wrote "The transaction would be the same if I personally enter the Thai bank and make a deposit in THB in my account, yet the bank does not take a fee to receive my cash. Why this difference. Because I am farang? Are the banks allowed to do this under Thai law? Is there a Thai Banking law at ...

Clean Pools
How clean is the pool water? Do Thais add chloride to the pool water? Or the invisible liquid agent that turns purple around your trousers if you pee in the pool??

Fat Cat Stay
Stayed one month in August. Great cozy little place, reasonably priced rooms, some of which with a balcony overlooking the port and the Gulf of Siam. New owners at that time who still run it. They are famous for their healthy breakfast. In the beginning not much of a lunch or evening menu, but this ...

I have already paid a fee to my homeland bank for it to carry out the transaction. The transfer is in ThaiBaht, not in farang currency. The transaction wo...

Ray's Place
Hi there - there used to be a lot of good jazz, supplied by resident or visiting artist and Thai musicians on Mondays and Thursdays. Have they all gone home now - the place seems to be deserted??
