Everything that is wrong with Thai people summed up in one non-story.

I'm in Now Fitness and it's ok but if you want serious weights and space to use them this isn't it.

That small international School not in Pattaya has a reputation and a permanent advert on Ajarn.com.

Sounds suspect so if you leave make sure you've been paid first.

Where is the benchmark North Korea among the safety rankings??

Which agency is it?

Why would you send 23kg ahead of time?

So what holidays do you have?

This being Thailand perhaps (holds nose) Thai Airways?

Mr Tongs Udon Thani?

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?

If this thread were about a visa run or visa application and was based on information that was 10 years out of date and therefore highly inaccurate it would be closed.

I will put your negative reaction down to cabin fever

Much ado about nothing.

Pattaya Songkarn 2015.

Were you actually IN central Pattaya yesterday ? It was a madhouse - everyone got in on the act and the noise alone from a bazillion cheap speakers was deafening. I ended up getting drunk just to put up with it, but if I found myself transported back in time to a week ago I would have been in a car to Bangkok by midday. Even if I spent 20-30k on a week in BKK I believe it would have been worth it to avoid the madness of the last 48 hours - never again. For those who live in quieter parts of town, it probably wasnt such a big deal, but its the first time I've seriously regretted living near Third Road.

I was in central Pattaya 'celebrating' on the 13th, 14th, 15th and 18th. Yesterday I did a loop that involved Central Festival (great atmosphere), Beach road, Second road down to the Dolphin roundabout, Soi Buckaow and Sois 6 through 9 oh and third and Pattaya Tai earlier and later in the day. So yeah I saw a bit. Yourself?

I agree yesterday was the Pattaya Songkarn 'nightmare scenario' we were warned about earlier in this thread. It was pretty cool. But it was only one day of crazy.Not nice or ten. Again what's with this 48 hours of madness? The rest of the days were pretty tame compared to say Chiang Mai and Korat for example. For the rest of the week the traffic was quiet and the stores empty, what's not to like?

Good times

Much ado about nothing.

I assume there is a stage somewhere making that noise? Maybe someone is getting married? Surely that isn't beach road? That isn't your karaoke bar is it? 8am?

Insinuated? That may have been me. I personally slept like a baby. My advice is to have a couple of cans of cider around 2pm then go out and throw water aka daytime drinking on soi's 6,7 and 8 until sunset. They could hold the next Castlemorton (Google it) on third road and you wouldn't notice.

This should make all the difference.

(insert sarcasm here)

Jesus wept.

Was on suk, third road and Pattaya tai earlier. No traffic jam to end all traffic jams as far as I could see? In fact they are pretty quiet.

Some early morning wetness on Soi Buckaow.

So where is all this BKK road blocking traffic??

Sky scanner, airasia, etc
