Strong baht 30 vs world currency. weak baht 50 vs world currency, the EEC project to make them stronger has hurt the tourist industry. ( not cheap anymore.) powers at be want strong economic base. it comes at a price.

friend just back from first low season. great trip as always. compares to high season cheaper hotels,etc. the P4P market not so much. maybe juts us or not. girls rates and bar have gone up. we figured in exchange rate changes from previous trips.😪 the strong baht is killing it. average 30% cut. that jumps what use to be the mill to bill. just our 2 bahts worth.

I went thru hkg last august. all united clubs were still closed. no showers or food. they closed the showers in nrt also. ana lounge in hnd/nrt have showers but you have to book in advance. long 17 from ord.flew non-stop lax to bkk on thai arways once. 18 hours it only lasted 1 year.

😃Ah the memories. enjoyable as always

The old park was better by far. But the parking lot makes baht. glad my kids are to old for it now.

did not the thai powers at be. change the hazard numbers for the pollution conditions a few years back? the new safe level was over the old red level as i recall. coulb be wrong.

I like the fresh sent vent nearby.

As i recall at one point zebra crossings gave you bonus points. Double for farangs.🚑

how long have street performers been on LK? out past my time and notice them tonight. hope it dose not turn into walking street.

NO not that F. with the new visa's in effect now it would seem the that the O non-immigrate visa is gone here. New web site for Chicago consulate informed me that all visa are now electronic they e-mail you a piece of paper to give to imgration. on arrival. the o is now an f. was told for family. i use family as reason for the former o-visa. anyone else had this pop up? If so then for 10000 baht the DTV would be the way to go. good for 5 years. do not know how it will effect d-license. A few thousand baht here and there usually fixes most things.

Please note that there are no usa pool tables in Pattaya. the pockets are slightly smaller and bank angles are different enough to make big difference on anything but straight in shots.

😁 showing my age again. back in the day when only one body part got stiff.🤠

reminds me of second rd. first the connecting roads then second road one-way. Thai roumor is Buakhoa will be one way to south allowing tour buses to avoid beach road. unless blocking to unload tourist. history repeats itself.

It is not a one time thing if caught in USA. wife tried Thai seeds for garden in SFO. every return since it is escort from arrival to customs inspection. then she tried thai over counter meds. D.A. alert. we no longer travel together as she is totally uck coming back to USA.

The good old days.😍
