The bars along the strip near the Pullman have survived - kinda. My Bar is still there, I remember when it opened. 

One of the scouse owned bars is gone. The one on the end furthest away from Tukcom at the end.

There were a lot of farang wandering down the street but not too many customers.

Sevens is a coffee shop. #1 Bar is a vacant lot.   😪

Either he somehow manged to survive here for nearly 30 years on a fake passport, or liason wasn't working very well.

Maybe a massive overstay?

So where has he been in Thailand for all of this time? 

Issan or Pattaya would be my guess.

Some anomaly, yeah Mr Egg is better, not that i watch any of those vids anymore, but if i was in cold farangland maybe i would

Mr Egg has the advantage of having working in Pattaya for 20+ years he will have returning customers who come in and see him, his content is irrelevant to those dudes. He is very informative. 

I remember when Nick used to be just an occasional vlogger, his content was decent with 'little Nick'. He does a decent job marketing his bars. I rarely see them busy, however.

Not for long, the tourist are returning, and in a couple weeks or so I’m sure it’s going to be flooded with tourists again 

I was there for the NYE just before the Vid closed everything a few years ago. I was also in CM in January and March of this year. I lived in CM in 06-08 and there were many more tourists then then at any time since I have visited since. 

I have lived in both. CM has a cold season which is really nice. The pollution in March and April really sucks in CM, it is definitely worse than the pollution in KK. CM is a tourist town, or was. Which makes it more lively, but since the Vid tourist numbers are massively down. CM is better, it just is. Korat is better than KK. Move to Joho! 

The Mall is the home to a number of chain schools and there used to be a branch of the British Council by the lake. 

When I lived there the Corner Bar was owned by a Scottish/Kiwi former chef, they did a decent Christmas dinner.  The Corner Bar was owned by a teacher from the local school and they had a pool table. They were the best 2 bars in town. Damn. Sad to hear that they are both gone. 

I am back in April. Where do people go for beers now? 

Are they still there? 

It has been a while. 

This isn't 2006 OP you'll be fine with you're original plan.

Another low for teaching in Thailand.

This being Thailand perhaps (holds nose) Thai Airways?

Krap?

They actually publish a list, really?

News to me.

At least 15k??

The beers are on me

Depends how many visa runs you have in your passport.

Erghhhh no they can't make you do shit. Just go through and say goodbye. Make sure they know you're not continuing so they aren't waiting for you on the Cambodian side. Tell then as you're getting off.

When you come back into Thailand get a tuk tuk to the bus station (80 baht) where the buses go to Mor Chit Bangkok every 90 minutes. There will also be mini buses out the front of the station next to the 7-11 and they go to Victory Monument.

3. The Pattaya north/northern bus terminal just off Suk. They also advertise a bus to Samui. Buses go to Mor Chit, Ekami and the southern bus terminal where buses direct to Samui run from.

4. On Pattaya Tai as you are heading towards Suk on your right hand side before second road there is a place that advertises buses to Hua Hin. After Friendship Supermarket before Walkabout Creek Pub.

What he said.

There are a couple of really (relatively) good ones. One of them is always advertising mainly because they have so many foreign teachers and people probably don't want to live there for too long.

There is also a questionable expat recruiter who offers positions. Allegedly.

There's a new one? Is it called lion or something?

This should make all the difference.

(insert sarcasm here)

Jesus wept.

This whole government business isn't quite as easy as Thaksin made it look, is it? Thank Buddha you can't get voted out.

Go to Morchit and get a bus. A mini van would be a killer. There is a small airport in SN but I'm unsure who services it.
