  1. I was and still am irritated by male serving staff.... damned Peppermint was the place where I first saw them. Back in the days there was a surplus of willing female staff.
  2. Or Pothole!
  3. There have always been a lot of foreign bar owners and managers in Pattaya.....the profusion on soi 6 was a different and more recent business model that produced a marmite type of reaction. They accept commission drinks but not sure if they can be barfined.
  4. That would be over qualified for someone only expected to give you a dirty look, grunt and stamp a passport!
  5. Comment received but not accepted.! Time up, deposit more coins to continue!
  6. Panda was okay when it first opened......never got to try Golden whatsit!
  7. Well if you insist on being pedantic, it was immediately 'received'.... no mention of 'accepted', then 'approved' after a few days. Did you book the long argument or the 5 minute one?
  8. That said, I have recently noticed quite a few families with young kids, often have a bit of English in their interaction. The parents are far younger than I am of course, and they may well be middle class. Perhaps it is a status thing?
  9. jacko45k replied to BenStark's topic in Pattaya
    It was last night!
  10. Didn't that start with them allowing foreign owned casinos to be built, then hotels etc etc? Indicative that if Thailand does decide to allow casinos, the control of them should be kept in domestic hands.
  11. I guess it became less of a thing when some started exploding!
  12. Accepted was near immediate, I just got the approved yesterday. Approved being the whole point of the exercise.... print out the receipt and paperclip into passport and nothing to fret over for 3 more months.
  13. I put mine in on Thursday and surprisingly not had it accepted yet, usually same or next day. Not been out of country for an age so not expecting issues, but I too always have a little concern. I live to the North of Pattaya, so it's a fair drive to immigration and I struggle to keep up to date on road works around town!
  14. Heaven knows.... I suspect people are persuaded to give out access information. I know one of my apps allows me to block all outward transactions.
  15. They were quick to make promises then are slow to act out. In reality this was not the fault of the Thai Government and offering compensation to people who chose to go and work elsewhere is a generous move. I worked overseas and would have only expected my Government to help get me out of there if things went unstable.
  16. Lazada deliveries require a phone call very likely from an unknown number. I was told the agent required a call pickup for him to be able to flag an item as delivered. It is possible your message answering service makes that work.
  17. Sold it already, just ahead of high season.
  18. They carry weapons of choice as a regular thing so yes, you were.
  19. It would not be recent would it, it would be at least 90 days old?
  20. Yes, plus I was quite keen myself. A happy day when I brought a grouper in..... now Barracuda, all sorts of nasty things in those!
  21. What nonsense, no issue with cod or grouper.
