i usually watch movies on long haul flights (over 2.5 hours) which i do 3-4 time a month; they have usually the newest blockbosters. recently i have seen the new James Bond, body of lies and the rest i forgot already

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2007/12/22/headlines/headlines_30059922.php the former TAT governor! she is also a leading politican in Pua Pandin party

why not? TIT applies also for TAT!

now THIS statement surprises me! for how long are you resident? as i said those people know pretty well their pride. i never get approached and i am also pretty often in those areas where they operate. even touts usually do not approach me; and two words in thai is enough to get them run off! do you look like a choirboy?

the farang beggar is a plant of the nationalistic PPP so that they can claim that there are no foreign quality tourists in lower Sukhumvit, which is of course absolutely true! NO quality tourist stays at lower Sukhumvit! that's why all the gem scammers are at locations, where the real quality tourists stay like Erawan, Silom, around Oriental/Shangrila, Grand Palace area and not at lower Sukhumvit! and that's why a lot of our fellow board members are not at all affected by those scammers and therefore give a shit as they never make it outside their lower Sukhumvit Ghetto! the scammers for the big money of the quality tourists and the beggars for the coins of the lower Sukhumvit tourists! that's the real Thai scheme! comprende?

iuytrede thanks for your insight: quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur! your statement remembers me about the feelings, many of us living in Thailand sometimes have: odi et amo quare id faciam fortasse requiris nescio sed fieri sentio et excrucior everywhere in the world people try to exploit other people due to one reason: Radix malorum est cupiditas! the OP just tried to help others to avoid to become victims: praemonitus praemanitus! but then we have to realize that this is not our country: Si fueris Romae, Romano vivito more, si fueris alibi, vivito sicut ibi! after reading through this thread i can only say: Amici, diem perdidi!

i have made opposite experiences! from the 100+ people who visited me in Thailand (most are also well off professionals; many came with whole families) the big majority was very satisfied and keep coming back!

really? the tourist statistics give a different picture! or are they also faked like the gems?

good work clubsiam! unfortunately it will have no impact! airport and erawan are just two main locations. around Grand Palace is also a gang and i am sure there are many more places. and they know very well their prey! i was not approached anymore for years!
