  1. I just have a sad memory of a young woman seen on the video escaping the club, and IIRC on fire, and later a friend filmed her in hospital looking in a bad way and having burns all over and particularly sad, facial. Had some Vietnamese connection I think.... tragic, caused by stupidity and negligence.
  2. Wow, that year passed quickly. Sad for those who died and those left injured. I hope they got compensated.
  3. My though too..... will the categories be strictly adhered to, or the edges somewhat grayed.
  4. I think someone is having baiting fun with the board membership! Is there still roadworks on the way between Bangkok and Hua Hin making Pattaya a preferred destination?
  5. Did they perhaps move out of that hotel with unauthorized extra floors that eventually got addressed... I think that was in the nearby Yensabai area.
  6. But these days they have phone in front of their faces, no privacy even in death.
  7. Egypt is pretty bad but here we talk of Middle East countries....bad but different.
  8. I believe the rich ones rent supercars and make a nuisance of themselves around Knightsbridge, London.
  9. jacko45k replied to JimTripper's topic in Pattaya
    Well done,,,,,
  10. Terrible stuff......should be banned!
  11. The reasoning behind changing retirement visa/extension requirements was because of Motorcycle Clubs, like the Outlaws, not Arab kids on Honda Clicks.
  12. Not to mention the Paddy Wagon that is needed by immigration police.
  13. Last time I rented a vehicle I left a cash deposit.
  14. Pre-loved, very cute. Do rag and bone men still buy them or give you a donkey stone for them?
  15. Does not stop the police confiscating them, forcing the owners (renters) to collect them and perhaps pay a fine. Might achieve something actually. (Although if the Arabs lose the deposit, it may be profitable!)
  16. Your example does not include 7am for one group, there is a difference. Another suggests a beer at breakfast for one group.. that is a difference. One group can go straight to work at a day job after finishing drinking. There's a difference.. As a pal of mine once said as the bar owner was putting stools up at 3am to close, 'It's only 3am, I don't start work until 7am, what am I going to do for 4 hours?'
  17. I say open up the Bira track to the Kuwaitis, lay on a few ambulances and let them go at it!
  18. Get real.... most of the tourists come from countries that are nigh on dictatorships!
  19. From what I see there is a lot of enabling going on too..... fat kids being spoon fed as they interact with tablet or phone. Kids that do not move even..... I was never still and had legs like a sparrow up to 11 years old.
  20. Too much alcohol and other substances so readily available...... a few broken hearts and many drawn here to escape a mundane existence back home. Depression and alcohol are a bad mix....
  21. I must admit, their style of driving ( I was in the Mid East for some years) is likely to be in conflict with the Thai nature.
