    This one is a Scot, they prefer not to be called Brits!

    Sounds unlikely. They would have been aware requirements were not being met..... so many Westerners are having difficulty opening a single account in their name these days.

    Dare we worry that the floating stuff in Pattaya bay has gotten so thick..... ?
  4. jacko45k
    Yeah, looked like Pattaya does now only much bigger.
  5. jacko45k
    You can find such statistics with a quick and easy Google search. They do confirm Thailand is in the bottom third and hence quite low on crime. I doubt Pattaya is worse than London as an example.

    Yes, I was thinking along those lines while in Big-CX just the other day. Quite a few bits of 'space' now have a few of these stuck there. They didn't seem to be getting a lot of use, but either they are legal or not!
  7. jacko45k
    Yes, that is a fair point.... but some blame must go to whoever left this danger there. I never walk along looking at my phone, nor chew gun at the same time, and have had head bumping incidents, particularly if I have a baseball cap on! Probably overly focused on watching the ground for deep holes and dangers.

    There was an incident a few years ago where a couple of these dogs actually killed a person (Thai), after the owner finished telling us how harmless and cute they were, he moved them away and later claimed to have given them away. I suspect they are alive and well and may even be back at his place by now,

    Ignorance is a poor defence!

    Haha, yes, Thailand doesn't do refunds! Video looked more like a lot of running away!

    Straight after the report of the great wastage regarding the Bali Hai boat docking and lifting marina, which never worked. The new cars must be getting boring to those that got them back then.
  12. jacko45k
    Well we often tell people they need to get out more on this forum. In your case, perhaps not!
  13. jacko45k
    The current state of the UK hardly exhibits much evidence of that nowadays.. we have mostly given it all over. Sorry to be off topic but had to comment.
  14. jacko45k
    It is mostly blurred out as is common these days.
  15. jacko45k
    No, I would guess crime has grown along with the town. The reporting goes up and down at the whim of those who control it.... they sometimes get told to tone down the negativity.
  16. jacko45k
    Well yes, they are also known for extravagant weddings, but most of us don't get to attend those, and rely on what they see elsewhere.
  17. jacko45k
    Yes of course, a non Thai example might be Ronan point. That too had building build quality issues of paper stuffed where mortar was required. This is what happens when QC is resolved with brown envelopes.
  18. jacko45k
    And yet so prompt to make comment in the thread!
  19. jacko45k
    Why not.... plenty of places to enjoy and play, good schools and facilities. Don't have to leave them to run around Walking Street or LK Metro?
  20. jacko45k
    Fair point, they harp on how the monks live a simple life and shy away from materialism... yet so much money comes into these places, and as we see here, they hoard it!
  21. jacko45k
    Not sure about that, Koh Tao and Phuket have their share of crime and danger.
  22. jacko45k
    Yes, I was thinking the same as I drove down Hwy 36 only last night where much of the lighting was out. In a busy and high speed area, where there are many U-Turns, madness.
  23. jacko45k
    Had the nickname of 'The slug' amongst the locals IIRC!
  24. jacko45k
    Soi Yume. That lane is there for the many disabled in the area, there is access to Father Ray's there and many disabled folks go to Big-CX that way.
  25. jacko45k
    In the right place close to the Waterfront condo then!
