  1. At the beginning I didn't know why the guy was using the term "Rambuttri Ally" instead of Soi Rambuttri. So now we know. And we've also established that Google Maps/Translate cannot always be trusted as it seems to dumb things down for ignorant foreigners.
  2. No, there is no distinction between Rambuttri Alley and Soi Rambuttri because Rambuttri Alley does not exist. There is Thanon Rambuttri and Soi Rambuttri. Period.
  3. Why would I pronounce "ally" as "alley"? I'm not ESL ???? Anyway why would I use the word "alley" to a tuk-tuk driver or indeed any other Thai person? It is called "Soi Rambuttri" in Thai so why would I try and confuse them? The transliteration of Rambuttri itself isn't tranny that close to the correct pronunciation so your just setting yourself up to fall by adding an unfamiliar English word at the end. BTW calling a Soi an alley, or ally if you prefer, is not even that accurate. The Thai word "trok" is closer to the definition of an alley than "Soi".
  4. I've yet to see any posts on AN that answers that question. The main thread on this topic in the Thailand News forum is about 60 pages of mostly speculation and misinformation. I can only speculate myself and say that the Revenue Department would count days in the same way Immigration does, ie. you arrival date is Day 1 not Day 0.
  5. It's not "more than 180 days" it's "180 days or more". Not same same.
  6. Google Maps is clearly wrong because it is not an "ally" it is a Soi.Try telling a tuk-tuk driver that you want to go to "Rambuttri Ally". Ally sounds like arai/alai in Thai so you'll confuse the hell out of him. Or her as the case may be, there's at least one female tuk-tuk driver in that area.
  7. I think you mean Soi Rambuttri. An ally is "a person or group that provides assistance and support in an ongoing effort, activity or struggle".
  8. So complain to Jimmy Donovan at TT if you're so upaet about it because nobody at AN cares one jot.
  9. This thread is about Hooters, not you and your neuroses. If you never went there then there's little point in joining the discussion.
  10. I care little for IMDB's classification. Calling it a Drama and a Western undersells the movie.
  11. Gotcha. No worries, you can't catch 'em all.
  12. Honkers, Bangers, Singers. The Holy Trinity.
  13. Even I know that IATA don't sell tickets LOL
  14. Yeah I want "adds" for the newest clip joint, not Vitasoy or Choco Mucho.
  15. I went a few times in January of 2022 before I moved to the big smoke. You're right, no atmosphere to speak of and the uniforms were a bit disappointing. Those leggings stop the short shorts from doing what short shorts normally do so I was well miffed (first time visiting "Hooter" as the local win motosai boys called it). So not great value for money but I did like their Baja fish tacos and I struck up a conversation with one of the lasses after a few visits and some last drinks. Her English was a cut above the standard for that area and I enjoyed talking to her for a bit. Luckily I moved to Bangers before I got obsessed with her and bought her land and a house in Buriram or wherever she was from ????
  16. Most 'fancy' restaurants quote the price before service charge and VAT. You have to add on 17.7% with a calculator or just get a shock when the bill comes. Or do it in your head if you're a savant.
  17. Be Brave!
  18. Well more topics means more clicks which means potentially more ad revenue so I doubt that will happen. Even in the other threads there's so much misinformation and errors that your have to sift through it like you're panning for gold. Stuffed if I'm going to try and condense it all for the lazy OP ????
  19. Star Wars is a "space opera" Spiderman is an adaptation of a superhero comic book. Harry Potter is an epic fantasy.
  20. if you think Unforgiven is just a "Western" then you know absolutely nothing about cinema.
  21. Neither Star Wars nor the other films you cited are Sci-Fi.
  22. to justify why he started a new topic and expects to be spoonfed when there are at least 3 other threads on the very same subject? ????????
  23. False advertising? They're not real tuk-tuks now are they, just a miniature songthaew. Mitsubishi Colt if I recall correctly from my one and only visit there in 2007. Bangkok tuk-tuk drivers should die them for defamation ????
