  1. Nonsense comment... usually those running out of money leave Pattaya, to go sit in the dirt in her Nakhon Nowhere village.
  2. Yes, at my age, I sit better than I can stand! I can do without the dangerous 20+ km round trip to immigration too.
  3. I would be more concerned by the oversized crowds gawping!
  4. My thoughts is that kids will do this sort of thing and at least they are using protection. I wouldn't worry about the image of Pattaya from what is going on here, in the middle of nowhere, a couple of Km out of town... one would simply need to look in some of the main streets off the Beach Rd! Few tourists arrive by train.
  5. And it isn't standing in line in a crowd!
  6. Yes, they can be noisy.... used to have a PA system blaring out from the monks all round the village at high volume.... some farangs complained to the police and we then got anti-farang rants at high volume for a week. Used to wish to be back next door to a mosque like I was in Abu Dhabi! Quieter from the monks these days! Just the early morning bell and chants on a Buddha day!
  7. Heck, I went down Klang yesterday being somewhat deafened by an older guy on what appeared to be a Harley....all noise over substance, as it didn't appear o be able to go particularly fast. Not a young rider either...... The locals just don't seem to be bothered by the standard noises of life here, motorcycles, farm vehicles, dogs and cockerels... it's just day to day life.
  8. Why would you think a young girl would be better off on a 400cc motorcycle?
  9. Agreed.... Being told that 'is the 'going rate' is BS.... it is on the high side. As you say Maneerat is known to charge 8k, I have seen 7k advertised, Mots asked 8k last time. Only difference might be if they drive you to soi 5 in an AC car, or send you on a motorcycle taxi. Key Visa want 10k.
  10. I suspect the ladies had a similar high percentage expecting to get some form of 'tip'....
  11. Although it appears he brought a knife with him anyways.......
  12. Loud enough in my experience......
  13. Third is a dodgy road.... struggled to get across it as a pedestrian in Sunday, the pelican crossing does not appear to be working, and on the bike, I get very edgy waiting my turn to turn right off 3rd.
  14. I kinda think they got the right suspect!
  15. They are recruited with the aid of brown envelopes!
  16. I had a drunken off duty cop waving his gun about on an overnight train some years ago.... as the only farang nearby I certainly didn't want to get his attention. A rather brave guard seemed to persuade him to go sit down and sleep.
  17. You think the investigating authorities look to this forum for help?
  18. Yes, that is what happened to me after a rather minor claim...... and perhaps even things with tentative links to some prior ailments may become exclusions. My thought were, if this is how they act in a minor situation, how would it be if it was some serious and expensive health incident!
  19. There is a car parking area at the rear but it is usually full...... to the point of it being difficult for even able bodied people to be able to get in and out of vehicles. There is also access into the bank from there but I can't remember if there are steps.
  20. Some are trying to escape a likely lynching.....
  21. East of Sukhumvit!
