Someone needs to tell the bars/restaurants that are full to the gills some with live music or dj's playing until way past midnight/1am in the open bars around Pattaya Tai that they are supposed to be closed.

Are they still doing shots at Royal Gdn? And if not any idea where? 

Not sure but not at weekends

I live about 5kms from there & it was a thoroughly unpleasant few days the last time that they held a dance music wkend.

The sound checks started a day or so beforehand & went on intermittently throughout the day & evening.

There were obviously some aftershow parties because about an hr after the main music stopped it started up again but this time the windows on the house weren't rattling & went on til the early hours.

The roads were gridlocked & that was when the Suk was fully open, it's now a crawl at the best of times with the road works.

One last thing, the Gardens host a large troupe of elephants from calves up to mature adults who communicate on a low spectrum of sound & the baselines that will run for a minimum of 8hrs straight must be torturous for the poor animals who no doubt will be drugged & chained to keep them calm much like a fair amount of the attendees who will also be drugged but not chained.

I will get a hotel in town with the family methinks for the wkend so we can get a bit of peace & sleep.

Bump.

I'm also flying in 2 weeks to the UK with Thai Airways & was wondering if the airline still wanted tests done in order to board.

I know that the UK doesn't require any testing whatsoever but some airlines still want them done

I would have though that this person would fit in very well over here could advise on all things naval & seamen.

Left LK around 11.45pm as the bars were shut then my taxi drove down 3rd & the thai places were literally hopping with drinks still being served to tables.

These messages go back to the home countries so less & less people will come imo

I see that the restaurants in Bangkok can now legally open until 2-3am from tonight onwards so why aren't the ones in Pattaya allowed to open to their licenced hours?

If Nigel's gone then he's a big loss to the ex-pat community here.

I went to a few local sports physios before finding him.

My current favorite is Honest Indian but have been getting delivery and for meat they only have chicken.

Moderate prices. Authentic flavor. Large portions.

 

Honestly.

Do they allow corkage Jt?

Indian by Unnatural is awful imo.

The reviews are bought for the most part, either that or a load of people registered on tripadvisor just to make just one very favourable review

Dollhouse was quiet early on but later much busier, lots of girls in there so I don't care if few customers, they seem happy with the money they make.

 

Pinup was very popular and packed i had a free girlfriend who worked there, i had to kick her out to go to work

If you don't mind me asking but exactly is a 'free girlfriend'?

It's not a term that I am used to.

The brother-in-law is tooled up but when we spoke he didn't know anything about cleaning & lubricating it at all & I know next to nothing so can someone advise on the best local domestic shop bought products (ie: Bid C) to clean then oil the piece please?

Also could you recommend the best way to store such a weapon over the months to stop it rusting or degrading while stored for many months at a time unused?

Those cooordinates are for the junction of 3rd Rd & Pattaya Tai so maybe Tony has found a use for his empty gym or the Walkabout Creek Pub has a ruddy big back garden

The live of bars & restaurants between that 7/11 shaped like a ship & the Big C turn on the right hand side of Pattaya Tai was full to the rafters with customers still drinking & eating after midnight some with live bands for all the world to see.

The crackdowns only appear to focus on the foreign owned Pattaya establishments.

Koh Chang & Phuket also doing as they please.

How is Bangkok doing these days?

5 year at Hwy 36? 

It appears to be a recent requirement, maybe Covid related?

Yes, at the office by 36

I renewed last week & was asked for one

Don't continue making sense. If you continue to do so you'll leave no space for the foreigners who hate themselves along with their kinfolk.

Wholly unacceptable to attack and to cheat your customers.

 

It's a place for drinking and revelling. If the security cannot handle someone who is drinking; get better security.

In my venues, anyone being overly rowdy and refusing to calm down would be firmly gripped on either side by security and walked out. Any further noise and they would be permanently banned.

Fighting is for animals. The bar owner who piped up about attacking his own customers is a sad case in point. A hooligan running a bar.

There are a few of them around town as it goes.

One recent appointee from a well known football club that is being sold by order of the UK government

I need to get a Thai drivers license.  I let my California drivers license expire.  Can I get started with that online?

 

It is probably easier just to apply & actually do the real driving test here.

As you may have guessed by local driving standards the test is not difficult at all.

There is no online service as a foreigner.

It's on YouTube! Tell them you watched there. 

You won't get the pass certificate just by watching it on you tube.

The test site monitors that you are watching so if you load another page the vid stops plus it asks 3 multiple choice questions during the vid although it tells you the right answers so you can pass ????

Did you try another browser? Chrome or Firefox should do the trick. Plus it's three questions before you can click play, not two.

Many thanks Joe, that worked a treat.

Fat fingers, I did answer 3 questions & got a nice green tick.

I'll try another browser, on chrome at the mo but using a VPN.

I'm renewing my 5 yr DL & at the transport office they gave me a list of things that I will need includung a link to dlt-elearning where I had to answer 2 questions then watch a video but none of the play buttons are clickable so I can't watch the video.

Has anyone had the same problem & is there anything that I can do resolve this or get around it?

It appears the site is registering that you have watched so that you can go forward on the website to get a pass certificate which has to printed off & presented with the other paperwork.
