  1. Comes with an iron will perhaps?
  2. He said nightspots, not nightclubs. Most GGBs, beer bars and some of the nightclubs in Pattaya most certainly allow you to run a tab. Can't speak for Thai orientated places.
  3. I believe Thailand is similar to what I was told when driving petrified in Riyadh and asked 'Who has right of way',, and was told 'You do, always'
  4. There was a pedestrian crossing from the other side too...but I could not see lights on the video.....other vehicles had stopped for some reason. The OP VIDEO link above does not work for me.
  5. I certainly still see a lot of vehicles with plates illegible due to fading.
  6. Yeah... if he was in a wheelchair he probably couldn't get in.
  7. Another one who edits quotes!
  8. Nah, I am expecting another pandemic scenario sooner than that.
  9. Yes.... minus the withholding tax of course.
  10. It is a pedestrian crossing with lights.
  11. Well the road where this happened is actually a dual carriageway... I also see there are barriers to prevent pedestrians crossing elsewhere... for their safety which is ironic.
  12. Don't forget many that will look completely the wrong way!
  13. I was once at the side of the pool in a USA Holiday Inn and an Indian in the water got out of his depth and started to panic... fortunately someone dived in and helped him and made me take my foot off his head..... (For all you woke types, this is a joke.. although I did see the guy struggle).
  14. As far as I know it is a red light, not one conditional on whether there is someone using the crossing!
  15. This discussion was had years ago relating to unlicensed taxi rides to the airport, the usual comment being that you are insured in a real taxi.... the police were even stopping vehicles on the road in and my driver said to tell the officer the driver was my brother in law! Harass the real taxis, they are ripping tourists off!
  16. Oh yeah, the seasonal Naklua Walking Street... nowhere to sit and dodgy food! Used to like it in it's early years, less so more recently.
  17. Get real... who doesn't chuck their wallet onto the table when they go get a shower in a hotel room (alone). Presuming the door locks automatically....I do actually check the balcony windows and door are locked as they are often left unlocked... whatever floor I am on.
  18. Free chop sticks and elephant pajamas suits on arrival!
  19. I am struggling to believe something running concurrently with the packed out Fireworks Event could be considered as well planned!
  20. On a trip between Pattaya and Ekamai the conductor came and told off an Indian guy who had been yelling into his phone for the first 20 minutes of the trip....imagine being sat next to that!
  21. Is that the horrid sickly sweet stuff?
  22. The taxis parked at the Malls are rip-off merchants who refuse to use their meter..... another tourist deterrent they refuse to react to.
  23. I tried to see the lights and unlike another poster could not determine they had just changed to the pedestrians benefit..... here there is a dangerous 5 second dwell before a red light MIGHT be taken seriously.
