    Better not, I am being baited though!

    Sure, although the chance is of being caught by another drunk driver in a pickup.

    I have yet to be asked for my passport at a road check anywhere not near the northern borders...and this is the Pattaya forum. I suppose a tourist would be nervous if he had overstayed... of being likely to get locked up in short order. I would not want to toss my passport though.

    Pattaya. Where?

    jacko45k replied to swissie's topic in Pattaya

    I can think of 3 without much effort. Two at least are no longer there but the service has become more commonplace.

    It used to be safer out there when the Chinese tourists were less independent, and were only seen out in large groups, being taken between the tourist sites.

    Socks, are well known as a hiding place and I suggest an alternative is found, particularly where such sums are involved.

    These people are peeping toms/voyears... they watch tourists on the beach and under piers too. I see the article seems to smoothly shift the blame onto tourists too, when of course that is unlikely to be the case at the railway station. I am more concerned by the mess the roadworks are making near there at the Railway Line Bypass Rd, and Soi SIam CC junction.

    Yes, much needed as we have finished high season, and enter the low season, and places are empty!

    Perhaps I need to stop living in the distant past. 😄

    I remember picking up a monk who appeared to be thumbing for a ride once in the north. Put him in the rear bench seat of the truck. He was a right PIA, wouldn't stop talking and couldn't get rid of him! Kept changing his destination. Never again.

    Have they really halted the thieving by simply arresting the guy stripping down/fencing the bikes? The people doing the thieving will need more beer and Yabba soon and be out on the prowl again.

    The Base and The Edge pre date this particular complex. The prior beer bars (one a live music venue) were small ventures making much less noise.... Planning permission was given I suppose, too late now. Perhaps these overpriced little boxes in the sky should have better sound insulation.

    Why? We all probably know which one is meant, but I wonder what the incentive is to be secretive. So many people are saying it is the residents own fault for living in that area, but this complex has only been there for under a year.... and much was said about how it had AC and would be sound proofed. That said, I used the adjacent hotel, which has been there many many years prior, and was not disturbed. I think I got to bed before 4am.

    Well er, yes!

    Residence Garden. Nova Park?

    I wonder if the girls have turned to AI to write their eloquent, grammatically perfect, begging letters yet!

    Don't be silly, a rare enough event as to be in the news. I rode down Buakhao yesterday and did not see a single foreign tourist being chased by a knife wielding local. A few being watched over by girls in short skirts operating ATM machines, yes!

    Small Kodak shop on soi Buakhao, Just past Cheap Charlies, heading towards Lengkhee. https://maps.app.goo.gl/fsUwRzC5i4moWi5WA

    Very optimistic request.
  21. jacko45k
    Keep a bucket of iced water next to the life ring at the beach!

    I don't expect there are many of those very capable lifting and towing vehicles here in Pattaya... putting a clamp on the wheel is about the limit of their abilities.
  23. jacko45k
    It has been an issue for 20 years...... nothing much changes, but reality is the shop owner does not own the street in front of their premises either, so many think they do.
  24. jacko45k
    So the doors were wide open to an empty lift shaft?
  25. jacko45k
    Not always... well not always for us older guys. I agree in Thailand far less likely... often if you get a slapping here, it was deserved!
