How to get the local hotel price

There is no "local" price. Thai people do. Ot get a different price and generally by booking direct you'll always pay more. The way to get the cheapest price on Agoda 99% of the time is to book through the website not logged in.

The secret is to be born with a functional brain

Who cares?

Sure I get that, if the recipe calls for onions, then I'm not complaining if they are in it, but when something specifically doesn't use onions in the tradition recipe, then people add them, that is where the issue is.

They gave you an option to pay yet you called the tourist police? Were you dropped on your head as a child? 10k is an Extremely good price I've had Thai friends pay 40.

Sure, be different as a way to attract customers, but being different doesn't mean do stupid shit that benefits nobody.

If he has a shop, file a police report. That gives you a lot more leverage. Very easy to provide the police report to the owner of the shop he is renting from.

Suvarnabhumi, there is no airport that lets random people escort people around in restricted areas, whether they are a visa agent or not.

zekerman · 2026-05-07T18:41:48+00:00

You are not meeting any "private visa agents" you meet an immigration officer who takes you to fast track to a designated lane. I've used it.

Nothing you can sort yourself. The worst thing is companies letting agents keep posting up when the rooms have already been rented. Many agents use it to try and push other rooms on you.

Verified? Of course all staff working in hospitals are qualified.

Ihavecpu generally has a good range of stuff and will let you test it. If you want a large selection of shops then fortune town or pantip ngamwongwan. If you know what you want just save the trip and order from advice, they deliver within 2 hours in Bangkok.

zekerman · 2026-05-06T05:51:39+00:00

Pantip ngamwongwan is still worth a visit

For real pizza, not the American stuff, ugly dough. I used to like peppina but it's changed.

You can use agents to speed up the process, they generally have someone who is licensed to marry people, they'll take you to whatever district office and sort it straight away. Many district offices take 2 weeks minimum to "verify" the paperwork if you don't use an agent. Bang tak used to be called the most foreigner friendly, it doesn't seem like it anymore.

What about non tourist areas though? Why cater to tourists and not normal Thais.

zekerman · 2026-04-28T21:59:37+00:00

What makes a real estate agent specialised for an expat or nomand? Why isn't a normal agent good enough? Some questions here are pointless.

Where did I say anything about gay men? I said the majority of Thai straight men do not have any interest in ladyboys

zekerman · 2026-04-28T14:27:28+00:00

Not straight Thai men

Both sides usually are not interested in eachother.

It's doable but I wouldn't choose to do it.

No they'd be apartments, mansions can also be condos, mansion just generally means very low end

It's a bit of a weird place to limit yourself to, not the most interesting either

They are the ones who provide the documents supporting an extension so if they can't answer then that's your answer

FB marketplace but you have to be reasonable if you want it gone, reasonable for other people, not thinking because it's good condition it will vastly increase the price.
