If you want to give, give with respect for the beneficiary. Otherwise you are demeaning yourself and them by highlighting their need.

I am shocked too. Shocked that 75% offer such services only secretly....... Presumably on this calculation the other 25% are offering sex services publicly.

Every time I look at the title of this thread I think that "Post Graduate Studies in Thailand" must be a euphemism for some other activity!

I think at the original Blue Elephant venue in Fulham you were paying for the plants(excessive numbers) rather than the food, which may not after all have been to the taste of Brits as first it moved and then it closed permanently.

Windsor?

They are very lucky(and rich). Significant sums must have changed hands.

Discretion, in the implementation of rules, is the mother of corruption.

Any police officers arrested I wonder?

Really? Rio Ferdinand......?

Are you offering breakfast? 😄

Honestly?! What dicks, presumably they were in it together. I know there is a level of desperation etc, but they had clearly established a positive reputation which must have been with more than just the posters here and they have just trashed that without consideration for the upset that it has caused those who were fond of them(and might have helped them if they had just been honest).

No it doesn't have staff there for that purpose. However you might make a connection with one of the staff or customers, but nothing is guaranteed. For guaranteed availability go to one of the bars down the alley beside Ram if you strike out at Ram. Sorry can't remember the names of the other couple of bars but as you face Ram they are 100 metres down the alley to the right.

Cyanide in the tea seems to be the explanation!

Silom Soi Four was already in operation by 1972/73 with Apollo, Tomboy, Lonely Boy + +

Thanks, this thread has persuaded me to add two posters to ignore. I never ignored anyone before, here or elsewhere!

Or as the Liverpool anthem puts it, "you'll never wank alone".

Extra staff somehow became extra stalls. Although they might need those too.........

Somehow not reassured by this information, although thank you for providing it. I wonder if the Thai Revenue Department have been taking on significant numbers of extra stall to deal with the additional workload.........

In this proposal it is not clear to me how the Thai Revenue Department can/will distinguish between "income" and "assets". Eg if a retired expat resident were to transfer assets to Thailand after January 2025 would the Thai Revenue Department expect to tax any transfers on the basis that all transfers are deemed as overseas "income", which as an example could be taxed income that has been accumulated in the expat's country over his working life. Is the Thai Revenue Department really going to have the resources to check thirty or forty years of overseas tax returns(if they were available) to confirm whether the transfer was of already taxed assets rather than income.

How? On that note Russia doesn't seem to be receiving many migrants from any African country(even though Russia is "heaven").

Depends on how you are judging performance. You appear to be judging it by the more migrants Russia can achieve the better the performance. EU countries in contrast are trying to reduce/control migration and making it harder to access their countries. EU countries receive significant migration from all over the world while Russia's migration is predominately from former USSR countries.

Oh now you prefer to discuss the quality of life, not the statistics that you introduced! Of course!

No, I followed the link that you provided which showed that in 2023 Russia, even without visa restrictions as you describe, was only proportionately the 71st nation in popularity for net migration. Whereas many other countries, even those with significant entry restrictions, still attracted proportionately more migrants. EG most of Western Europe, US, Canada. This is the link that you provided https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_sovereign_states_by_net_migration_rate&diffonly=true

Of course Russia doesn't put on those restrictions. You need all the help you can get to persuade people to travel there!
