Paint some lines on the ground. If they are seen the wrong side of those lines. Bang 'em up for a month.

You are so right, I mean the lines on the ground made Thailand one of the safest places to drive in world, or is that Syria .. Oh never-mind

Consider seeing Nigel Kelsey.....

He does body work (massage), accupuncture/accupressure, sports therapy, etc.

He's the best...by far...I've found in Pattaya.

Located on Soi Bongkot, which intersects with So. Pattaya Rd. There's a 7/11 on the corner (north side of So Pattaya Rd)

His office is about 3 doors in, going north on Bongkot, from So. Pattaya Rd...on the inland side of the soi.

Phone 08-9099-3845

I advised a friend to go there about 2 weeks ago. He reported shop closed and telephone number not obtainable. Anybody got any up to date info?

I just spoke with Nigel on the phone and he said he will be back in the office on Wednesday the 26th. He answered the mobile on the 2nd ring

RIP soldiers...

Sorry Lite beer I posted on your post my bad

U.K does not check Passports on leaving either.

Is this a US Passport you are trying to show someone before leaving the US ? Passports are used to enter another country other than your native country. Or to show immigration upon arrival where you have been. Are you looking for a Nod from someone to travel?

Here is the video with translated subtitles

Op,you are obvious from the US,where as i understand it is required to tip in a restaurant.Do they ever add service charge to the bill in the US?

The Dept of Labor and IRS has a very clear explanation as to the difference.. a Tip is a gratuity to the server. This is not a service charge. So many do not tip when they see Service Charge included on the Bill. I know that one major chain has taken that Statement off the Bill, and the waitress actually pays a fee, much like a rental fee for her section. This makes the service and tips so much better. When you are working harder for tips amazing how the service improves.

I have done a few of these but I prefer Pat Ga Pao Moo Saap on flour tortilla shells

Never think twice before spreading good news about anything

Kudo's to the BIB and also for you taking the time to post a bit of good news.. I do like your wife's approach also.

Yesterday we were told the rainy season would start in 5-6 months. Which is it? 3 or 5-6? Any consensus among the planners?

Jun - Sept (creeps into Oct a bit)

"I dropped the 4 THB 100 notes before the lady onsite could grab them, so at least she had to work for it."

Those notes have the image of the King. Dropping them on the ground is offensive (possibly seen as lese majeste) and secondly, the lot cashier is paid to do her job, not put up with cnuts like you.

This might not be over yet.. Upon returning for R&R via Emirates Airway, and making a few acquaintances while inflight we agreed to share a Mini-Bus to Pattaya.. six of us now. While waiting in the lobby and securing a taxi-bus, we noticed we could not account for one person. Further inquiring with the Airport Police had us speaking with Immigration.. Four of us left and agreed to meet up later on Soi 6 Foxy or Roxy Bar. The one person that stayed behind waiting for his Pal relayed this story to us... Carl was detained as a result of Lese Majeste incident that had occurred 8 months earlier. He apparently wodded up a 1000baht bill when settling a dispute with a bar manager, after calling to police..After wodding the bill up apparently he dropped it into an empty glass. The BIB asked him to make a copy of his passport and was allowed to leave....

Upon arriving this time his name had appeared on some system that flagged him as a person of interest.. He was detained for a period of 16 days which had him back on the flight back to our duty station..

I then discovered that 98% of all Lese Majeste incidents are found guilty. Most of them are released on Christmas Day by a The King's Pardon. This person could be lucky or maybe just waiting for the hammer to fall and does not know it...

I have had good luck with Amazon so far.

I have had no issues with Amazon getting the product for me , shipping was a bit delayed and required a trip to the Post Office but where it differed was price

Samsung Classroom LCD Data Projector (SP-M221)

AMAZON 31,000 Baht

INvadeIT 18,000 Baht (delivered to my door next day) I am in Pattaya BTW. (Cost to deliver was 300B)

I do not know the shipping cost from AMAZON since this was the heading on there policy :

Standard International: The buyer should receive the order within 3 to 6 weeks after shipment, although it may take up to 8-12 weeks depending on customs delays.

I suppose I do it (Opening Doors and Giving Way) as a result of my up bringing and culture..Not sure if I ever cared one way or another whether I was acknowledged or not. I am not a mama's boy so I still drink milk straight from the bottle.

Why not use a Thai online supplier? invadeIT is a great online shop and they have excellent support for any questions you may have.

I have used them also, and found it very good and quick... Many of the parts you get from AMAZON comes from Thailand originally.. Just try and get a Customer Service Rep on a phone at AMAZON

I understand you anger,but telling some porkies really makes no sence.

I've seen them do this. I've even seen them MOVE bikes parked in legal areas into non-legal areas and chain them up. Much of the Pattaya traffic police are bottom feeders.

One could drive 100 meters anywhere on any main road in Pattaya and find 4 - 5 illegally parked motorbikes. Why would BIB move a bike to get a ticket written ? And if those bikes were own by Thai's do you think it would go unreported?

i"ve been teaching here for 8 years and have noticed the decline in educational, parential and social standards.

I am sure when you quit teaching things will level out again

There is an excellent article written on this forum in Thailandmusings

http://thailandmusings.thaivisa.com/when-and-how-to-wai-properly/

I parked my bike on second road, did not know anything about the alternate days policy and was chained, went to police station, paid my fine and got it unlocked, still not quite sure <deleted> that is, can someone explain?

Not sure but I was done like this years ago for parking on the same side 2 days in a row, not knowing any better. I think its for street cleaning in Bangkok but allow me to be corrected as I had limited Thai way back then!

Normally it will say ODD day No Parking ..So if it is a day that can be divided by 2 you can Park... Normally not enforced until 09:00 AM... giving the guys that entered a bar at 21:00 hrs and leaving 0600 hrs next morning time to get to the ATM or Clinic

It's not just Russians. I find it disgusting that other farangs sit in bars (and restaurants) topless. I don't want to look at their fat tattooed bodies while i'm trying to eat/drink.

I am a little more tolerant of the Beer Bar Warrior's, I can always leave or have something else to look at. Of course I can choose not to shop or go another direction.. My OP was trying to figure out, from where do they learn such social skills. If it was only one person OK, he just does not get it. When it is a group of 3 - 4 walking together then perhaps it is a lack of respect for anyone.

You are lucky to be alive to tell the tale!

Don't know why I get this strange p sign when my posts go up?

You are on super secret probation.

To the OP. You will not enjoy your time in LOS and if you keep it up it will end in tears, or at least a big whinging <deleted> post.

The trick with the money was actually very dangerous.

He would have a better chance of surviving a swim in the Crocodile farm at feeding time...

but guess under two hours isn't TOO bad.

It's disgraceful!!

Guess the man was already dead. No point in rushing things. RIP.

I agree, not like you can preserve a crime seen when you find a floating body... I know it would require a few coin tosses to select the guy that goes in for the recovery

I am amazed they got 18 people in the Van.. Condolences to the families..
