  1. Why focus on Sterling..... ? It is a weak currency in a dire political situation and carries massive debt. They just announced 9% inflation there and are heading into widescale strike actions. Third world numbers....
  2. The coach from Jomtiem food mart was a pretty comfy slick operation... if one lived nearby, in one of the VTs perhaps, easy to get to. If you had a pal drop you off even easier. The drop off at the airport was easy and off you go. I have had a lot of drama over the years with various mini- buses and taxi drivers, getting to the airport can be stressful. It got to the point I would always stay in a hotel near DMG.... use the hotel Limo next day. When Swampy opened, it was an easy ride from Pattaya....find a reliable taxi.
  3. Really, and how did you determine that?... I would expect a girl who had been in the game longer to carry a little more risk wrt STDs.
  4. Seems fair... it is the end of the 'line'... they often stop and pause there too. If one is on 2nd and wants to head South, perhaps they expect you to get onto the Beach Rd,
  5. Really ... I think I might have the ability and common sense to limit riding to within my abilities. Hopefully I will recognize my faculties are waning and draw a line under bike days. Enough damned fools on the roads out there without the damned old fools.
  6. Big tour groups..... only coming from India and maybe China soon....
  7. In massage parlours offering services on the cheap. Or the coconut bar, bamboo bar.....
  8. Thx... always liked Fahrenheit... But are there enough alternative venues to make a night on WS worth it? I hear it is still a bit of an assault course to Walk around. (So much more variety in the vicinity around Buakhao!)
  9. Not tried Nana for a good while.....but even on the Skytrain, and walking from Asok, so many classy looking attractive women.... really puts Pattaya in a different place.
  10. One has to get used to being vetted by someone in a turban...'Are you British?'.....
  11. If one tests positive, insurance might be their only lifeline ....
  12. Probably similarly to the vendors......drugged blow darts I once saw being used,
  13. What puzzles me is why so many folks believe that when the mask mandate is cancelled, the whole Thai population will tear off their masks, and dance around wildly singing 'I'm Free, I'm Free' like little Roger Daltreys. Maybe, just maybe, they will make up their own minds, they don't seem to have found mask wearing to be the burden the Western cry-babies did.
  14. Stuck in the lights at Suk and Klang waiting to turn right into town..... on a motorcycle can leave you breathless.
  15. The cynic in me believes praise was demanded!
  16. I assure you Walking St is distinctly different now compared to pre Covid.
  17. Not sure of that... there was an American guy doing it too. USA guys feel they have a God (or Constitutional) right to video someone in public places, and the victim has no expectation of privacy. I don't see many making videos of customers in Burger King or McD though, and they want to catch people in a girly bar location. I believe I should have some rights over public broadcasting of my daily life.....sad buggers.
  18. Always found it easier to see good lookers in Bangkok, at Tilac and Baccara maybe. Just the silly prices and sometimes some nonsense of sitting out front with a beer before going in. Also found very attractive girls in MPs there, very unlikely in Pattaya.
  19. I saw a video of a beach recently that sounded like Mexico, the people there were being aggravated by hawkers every 10-30 seconds, and I remember thinking that was once Pattaya and they had the same ignorance..... Get shut of these pests......
  20. It works based on a particular location.... like the general traffic accidents and holes in the roads.
