Connection to a bank can be made wirelessly, and it isn't so much a card reader required as a contactless payment device about the size of a mobile phone. In fact mobile phones will likely be able to do the job at some point. Look for the sign.

I thought they had simply stopped the selling of booze outside of the stadiums. Not sure about inside, but previously it was only available in hotels anyhow I believe. Strikes me as a good idea, brawling drunk soccer fans is not what we want to see.

They kinda both are.

I guarantee you will be sick to death of 'Jingle Bells' by January!

The reality is more likely it was not a Rolex. There are many real ones about though, and of course fakes.... watches don't seem to attract the thieves as much as one would expect, probably because the fakes are so common. Just leave it on... the clasps are too complicated to get them off easily.

Absolutely not.... and if the bar owners stick to their guns in can ruin your night out. Don't go out without plenty of money in your pocket....

Certainly a better idea than going shopping with a bargirl.

We have a lot to learn from the locals when it comes to dealing with the police!

A bit far out but maybe Thai Garden Resort.

He also claims the form was amended later to include the amputation.......

Winnie left the building?

If it is halal, and they also accommodate other religions that will not eat beef products, is it chicken again for the main?

I don't believe he was convicted of abusing children, simply having the pictures. Although the word 'producing' was mentioned on a previous arrest.... There have been some very ugly recent convictions on child abuse in the UK *people beating, starving etc infants, their own children) and they were given long custodial sentences. Sick world we live in.

Hmm.... wonder if I can get a fridge in the spare bedroom.

And even a few nearby places have special days before and after, Naklua the 18th, Bang Saray, the 20th... or is it the other way around?

And quite a few do it later, early January.....here in Pattaya it is mostly as per UK/USA Dec 24th/25th.... but the decorations hang around a long time after.

Is it possible you are too easy going and let your wife wear the pants? Oh well, you got 20 years out of it, that is pretty good..... If you are not enjoying life, make the break, although you already say you will not leave her..... (is she perhaps going through the change?)

Can't get a moments peace on the beach.....

You know, as I walked through soi 7 and 8 areas yesterday, strangely, I did not get this impression!

The crowds can make it difficult to get away, so plan ahead. I have always booked somewhere to stay (and park) within walking distance of the beach, or even a view of it. Then arrive in the afternoon, park up, go for an evening meal....etc. An easy drive out in the morning.... trying to get out of town the same night is a nightmare.

Of course that could be said of many countries but this is the Pattaya News section of a Thailand Forum. The News is, she has been caught 5 years later. I really do not see the point of discussing elsewhere, deflection..... there is also no mention if the tourist simply left the valuables lying around while going for breakfast, or had put them away in a safe or locked bag. The amount involved is a strong temptation to a girl working 6 long days a week for small money....

19th is madness day for Pattaya.

At it again where I am North of town.....

Seen him on Tik-Tok?

I noticed the Express lanes in Big-CX have signs saying Cash Only..... not that anyone pays any attention to anything those say!
