ser, if you're still using your debit card instead of Apple Pay or Google Pay on your NFC-enabled smartphone then you're doing it wrong. both of those services use virtual card numbers which means the merchant's POS terminal can't harvest your actual card details.

I'm a nuisance everywhere I go! thanks for the info ????

LOL

you could have saved us all a lot of trouble if you'd bothered to read the FAQs first...

I ordered a single pepperoni pizza the other day. it came in a cardboard box of course but then they put that inside a huge white plastic bag. then just to rub salt into the wounds they gave me about 20 tomato ketchup packets. I think I need to move to the country and start growing my own food, this plastic waste business is out of control ????

but it says "do not use in public" so sounds like that's off the table.

challenge accepted. next time I'm in Pattaya I promise to try this place. been hearing about it for years but tbh I'm not a fan of buffet breakfasts because I tend to overeat hence I've avoided Casa Pascal. it had better be as good as they say! ????

I stayed at the Holiday Inn back in December. I wouldn't feed their breakfast to my worst enemy!

I'm a fan of Sportsman Soi 13. imho their English breakfast is quite nice although the last time I was there the pork sausage was average. I'll be back in Patts next week, if they have found a new sausage guy then I might have to downgrade them.

some people are easily satisfied. to them rubbery eggs and a hot dog is a gourmet delight.

your friend was in the wrong. deal with it.

of course Sukhumvit is gangland, it's run by the biggest gang in town. but seriously, anywhere in this city where farang congregate and drink alcohol has the potential to turn ugly. except maybe the Hi-So places but you never know. too many unhappy souls and as they say, in vino veritas. sometimes you just have to pay up and move on when a nutter turns up, even if it is your "local" or your favourite bar. that's easier said than done of course, some nutters come across as really nice people until the alkyhol kicks in and they turn from Mr Hyde into Jekyll. that happened to me a few weeks ago on PP2 but since I was drunk too I ignored my own rule and stayed at the bar until closing. thankfully the nutter didn't kick off and I still have all my teeth ????

you're kinda new at this aren't you? she would have been taught that by her parents/minder. agree probably got more street smarts than all the farang at the bar put together LOL. as for why the other dude acted like a nutjob, is that even a serious question? he obviously had some anger issues and your mate getting annoyed at the little kid because he doesn't know how to play the game set him off. maybe you should stay off the Suk until you and your mate are a little bit more acclimatised.

plenty of people carry guns here in Thailand but thankfully us farang are rarely on the receiving end unless we really ask for it.

Aussie expression mate. I refuse to call it a "football strip" because that just sounds silly.

who knows mate but it's very boring to have to wade through all these whiny posts to find the little nuggets of real information. one possible reason is that they come from highly structured supposedly "civilized" societies where they're taken care of by the State. they're happy for said State to take advantage of them by way of high taxes and unequal wealth distribution but when they come here and a lowly scum of the earth (not my words) "baht bus" driver dares to try and take advantage of them then they get all offended and jump on here to complain. all over ten baht LOL.

so why the big rant about the buses? songthaew boys do what they do to make money for their family. or maybe he ditches one or two low hanging fruit for a group of noob tourists because he's got his eye on a bottle of Black Label or dinner at Benihana. or should they be condemned to eating pork rinds and drinking lao khao for all eternity?

just use Bolt bro and save yourself the aggro. oh and don't forget to bump up the fare to account for the 30% commission.

as are their customers. well a lot of them anyway. especially the ones wearing those silly soccer guernseys who speak with unintelligible accents.

I hate to be the one to break this to you champ but Pattaya ain't the UK despite all the shaved head lager louts and the old ladyboy and black football player old crusties that infest the place. I'd name names but... well you know the drill.

they probably don't even notice it. it seems to be only whiny "fallung" that get upset about this kind of stuff because they think their home countries are perfect. The West is the Best and all the other neo-colonialisms.

it's pointless to bang on and on and on about all the allegedly bad stuff that happens here in Thailand. you're flogging a horse that's been long dead and is now ground into the pavement. nothing will change as a result of your complaint and it only serves to show that you lost The Game. articles like this are just clickbait. they know it will bring out the usual suspects with their tired old tropes. the more clicks the more ad revenue.

I'm currently in love with the Aussie Wagyu cheeseburger at the Roadhouse BBQ, cnr Surawong & Rama IV. Bangkok of course, this is the place to be ???? I'd have one every day if it wouldn't put me into an early grave. after eating Wagyu beef I can't go back to the normal stuff.

I live in Thailand because it's sanook. I don't get hung up on all the "bad" stuff that happens here like "duel pricing". heck I'm even starting to accept the dour-faced "ferrlung" that infest the place ???? you can laugh and joke and have a good time here unless you're a total grump or a pauper. and unlike certain other countries in the region there's no (hardly any) green and white noise factories to wake you up at 3:45 in the morning.

I'm still confused by all of this. my question is, will I be able to go down the Khao San Road and legally by a big spliff that I can smoke whilst listening to Bob Marley. or even some of those edible thingies? this is a serious question (except for the Bob Marley part, I prefer dub ????)
