  1. Just a observation from all the work being done. Sooner or later the constant digging they might get it right? On 2nd road it looks like they are putting in the largest drains they can this time large enough to drive a mini cooper Soi 15 might be the only Soi in the area leads into 2nd to allow large drains placement allowing flooding water on Soi Buakhao to drain into Soi 15 then to 2nd, from 2nd the water will drain into all the other Soi heading West to Beach road and the ocean. The problem all the drain pipes on the other Sous are still the old 36 inch cement drains. The purpose of the larger drains is to be able to retain more water below until it can drain to the ocean. The of sight this out of mind giving the false impression problem solved? Like a full glass of water if it is high tide water won't drain therefore will spill out overflow will it be the case even with the larger drains. I look at 2nd road now the area finished is all uneven with many cars parked not parallel the resurfacing only looks like a temp job with more later to resurface. As you know on the Darkside there railroad bypass when build was smooth, five year ongoing they have dug to put In big drains, resurface at best half ass, sinking cracking, sinkholes, with sand and gravel on left lane making it unusable for motorbikes this is Thailand 101 road work. ????
  2. The other end Soi 15 2nd road, started two years ago, the other Soi Buakhao I was last night two ago they broke ground what it look last night you might be right LOL
  3. I don't think the story was " over crowded " it was because they wanted a specify amount first prior to admission. Her girlfriend Thai saw the pain she was in at Sattahip felt transferring her would get better service as I remember reading. I also commented that this would be swept under like majority of cases due to the light shining on local authorities got heat like always sadly I was right bad for all the victims. I see it being no different with the latest fireworks hope I'm wrong on that!
  4. I never touch Nazi since they endorsed???? Hitter. Sushi any chance ????
  5. Finish this month????
  6. This bike as I remember range 48,000-54,000 baht depending on the type of rims that was purchased not sure this year they had come out with keyless? When you indicate full history is that just the dealer service book stamp for oil changes? Or do you have paperwork for service and parts receipts belt, coolant changes every 20,000? I might offer 20,000-25 max if fluids were change every 5000 km, and belt replace every 20,000 and belt unit at least once along with the bike having cast iron rims. Click great bike my first still have it 2006 110cc 135,000 km Carburetor. Bikes that are kept and maintained like anything is worth more to the individual than open markets.
  7. This is not rocket science but to the keystone cops on Soi 9, are. The rental group started way before now is on the corner of 13/2-3, they have been renting big and small bike Claim that entire corner. This topic comes up a number of times the problem is from Soi 9 and Soi 9 only. If they want to fix the problem all they got to do at Pattaya Tai and 2nd Rd. after the light roll out a roll of nails let them all crash and slide into the construction hole then fill it. The same with back portion of 3rd Road and Thappaya.
  8. Bike new 75-78,000 Regardless of the KM, unless you know the owner the KM is suspect. If capable remove the front wheel take a look at the break pad, better yet at only 2,500 take a look at the muffler pipe leading to the engine for amount of rust. Either way if me I would offer 25-30,000.
  9. Nothing but a prank. I noticed lots of Mideastern youth lately in Pattaya, make me wonder if parents using the place to break their kids cherry. Reminds me of how parents in HongKong use to send their kids to Korea in the 70-80's ????
  10. I take yearly to Father Ray and once a year to Pattaya Sport Club off 3rd Road.
  11. Seems like based on your post you might want to take responsibility for your own rush and non action from the beginning. In your own words you had a bad feeling but moved forward. By the % I serious doubt he will report just like you leaving without notice as soon as you read this do the same out of country.
  12. As my 5 year old Granddaughter say to me " Calm Down " This will blow over these biker gangs is small stuff a favor of the month or hair up their butts. This is something big joke can grandstand and photo op the numbers are so small and money is too small versus the attention it brings. On a much larger massive scale what is the update on the Chinese Triads grey business as I noted it is so large monetary it is going to get sweep under the rug.????????
  13. Right behind the open trays of chicken and pork is a wall display that sells Thai Beef, even Assie beef at much lower prices. I'm not a big beef eater but got a rup steak for 289 baht recently with some seasoning I thought it hit the spot. This same brand is also sold at Makro.
  14. True the LengKee family who own many of these building which have been handed down to the kids mortgage free are cash cows now that the demand is back.
  15. Just my take after Covid opening rents were cheaper lots of dreamers come along more money than brains. Thank God there will always be them around to give us alternatives. The bar or go-go might be for sale I doubt the building.
  16. It is simple Big C extra! The case you show are imported meat which mark 30 -40 % higher than locals if one move back near the entrance that is where the customers are this section is basically what is being sold at Makro, Lotus.
  17. First, are you living in U. S. Same with GF or wife? To collect is that after U.S. take the taxes?
  18. Clueless reporting the investigation as to what happened will be worse from the same school of driving.
  19. The swamp thinking isn't only at the top. This is part embedded into their culture. Women are secondary I say bravo to her.
  20. I don't think that is correct in application sense. I once sat with the Vice Mayor of Pattaya and he explain how the country is funded. Although they get more money than other provinces being in the EEC, they are funded by register resident doing so isn't as easy as one thinks. Just because one see all the hotels and tourist in doesn't mean Pattaya gets all the taxes. Then 8-10 years ago at this situation down he noted there is official like 350-400 official on payroll, that included police, fire, immigration, government doctors, nurses, teachers one would think no way City Hall had more than that number. Immigtation for example you see a handful that wears the official uniform everyone else is on contract which are the majority. Reason Bangkok with the largest register residents have so much more. Then the function of the police isn't what it is compare to the West the reason we wonder where is everyone. If true the comparison not everyone is equal and doing what they are suppose to be doing. In Pattaya Darkside I see a number of police riding around on one bike with another all they do is go around and collect their protection money, you see them at markets directing traffic.
  21. First stand alone room? How often is room use " guest room how often? Based on what you wrote normally but rain season first priority is get made sliding door screen and window. Get a 1000 Baht standing fan. That is a good cheap start.
  22. Age really doesn't have too much to do with it unless you got one leg in the grave already lol. Here do to a languge barriers and the lack to except criticism tough to have a good conversation. You got ignorance yes but if you don't know there is two standard no better time than the present. The key what does the mother and father think? How close is the relationship with them and the rest of relative? She like most women Thai in general are brainwashed condition to feel they are responsible giving the men a pass. It gets worse if they are with a farang with this type of ignorance and belief in the family. It isn't easy to sit and have a heart to heart conversation because it really isn't part of their culture especially coming from a farang. All Thai possess " This is Thailand " It comes down to teaching " stick and stones " secure in them self " The only two that really matter is the parents if they are part of the problem the start is how much is your wife willing to give up?
  23. Speculation? Get your tickets for this day. If true will the place be a mad house with his supporters his guards. Will Big Joke be at this event what resources will show up to arrest him or will he already be home, slippers feet up lazy boy watching the drama with those against him wondering how he got in the same way he and his sister left? ????
  24. Been wanting to pull the trigger for sometime, on the Darkside I got B--, before Sop-- both piece of crap. There was a time I got some NBA and NFL, games now nothing. Any American shows or movies they show it over and over again and then some. I've kept it because of my ThaI family paid year in advance until March but as I get older I'm tired of traveling to a sport bar to watch. Checked into TM-, 3BBB I have their internet service but can't seem to guarantee a package I could obtain these sports regularly same with True. All I want is to watch American sports, weekly shows even Fox News without all the bs lockouts and freezes. Not techno.
  25. Like so many intersections in Bangkok and throughout Thailand official don't have a understanding why many rules were created. Thailand is part of the international community but somehow decades of improper application lack of a driving education system today what we got is what you see. From the video I don't know about any mental conditions the driver might have but this is a large and connected inte????rsection one of the greatest rule is called a stop sign here they are every where majority in the wrong location and how to properly execute. Good and bad, this guy did exactly what he was suppose to do stop behind the horizontal line that is the same as a stop sign. Looking at the large intersection the lights are none operational they have it all on flashing yellow which here basically do as you please. In theory flashing yellow is slow down and proceed with caution which this guyseem confused as to what to do.
