Re: Sihanoukville Beach Businesses Given a Month To Move Out

Inevitable development. We all knew this was coming some day. It's surprising to me the SHV beach areas weren't fully developed years ago. Who knows if this is actually the final final or just another false start.

Re: Walking Street Sweep Nets 30 Foreigners Without Proper Papers in Pattaya

No mention of any "fines" being paid. I wonder if they held the farangs in detention until someone else showed up with the passports or were they allowed to turn up the the police station the next day or something. I know law is law, but it's a no-win situation. Carry your passport and ris...

Re: Advice on Condo's on Arrival in PP

I would rather sleep naked in the garbage dump than share living quarters with another dude.

Anyway, small windowless rooms like those shown are fine for a few days. Any more than that would be depressing as hell.

Re: Proposal to eliminate the $100 bill

We're almost a cashless society already in the Western world. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, although so far it's quite convenient. As hackers get more advanced, bank accounts and debit/credit cards will be even less secure. It doesn't bode well.

Going out with someone (First couple of months of the relationship/the honeymoon period) Did you mean travel with someone for months? its just a phrase we use in england, "going out" is kind of a more casual way of saying "in a relationship" for example: "Hey Jamie, you han...

Re: The World in 2025

The Japanese government is in serious debt and won't be spending much on new naval power, which is outdated anyway in the age of missiles. It's like investing heavily in horse-based cavalry. Pointless. The US losing world dominance is a given. It happens to every world power and the US is no excepti...

Re: Bangkok high-rise engulfed in flames

Buy a condo on a floor lower than the local fire department's tallest ladder truck's reach.
