  1. As already said not a ghetto but run down due to poor maintenance in tropical climate. The constant construction of huge condo complexes has surely created an oversupply.

    Oversupply is the devil causing high vacancy rates. And this country has no system to penalise owners leaving their units vacant, nor developers leaving their units unsold.

    Surely if a developer has built a condo and only sold a few units they must be paying a great deal in maintenance fees for the unsold units. This must be a big incentive to sell their units.

  2. I picked up a red R3 today

    congrats... id like to go look at 1 in person this week if i can find one on show in pattaya... did they have a floor model to look at when you were there?

    dont need a test ride, just want to see it up close.

    I noticed they had two to see at the Yamaha Mityon dealer on Thepprasit Road (near the junction with Sukhumvit). They looked dirty so maybe can get a test drive as well.

  3. I have ordered a number of things from Lazada and have been very satisfied with the service, the nice thing about it is that it was 15% cheaper than any local store in Pattaya and delivered to my door .........then I paid, the last 12 months they have saved me 20k baht

    I don't go near a local store to buy anything now, I might have a look locally but buy of Lazada

    Same here i buy everything from Lazada now. Their site is so easy to view and order and their prices are so much cheaper (especially with their discounts). The only hassle is waiting around for delivery.

  4. I went over the weekend and had a great time, the circuit is very good. Long drive though from almost anywhere in Thailand. I booked the Grandstand and again thought the seating arrangements were a bit chaotic. Big sections were held empty for Yamaha (with no Yamaha bikes competing!!). Luckily my tgf had a Yamaha shirt on so we were allowed in. Lots of people seemed to be standing to watch the race, not so good at 1,500 baht.

    Great result for the Brits of course.

  5. Euro went to .825 15 years ago. That's 26 baht per Euro. Hope you Euro men have a backup plan. As for me, my US dollars are getting the best exchange rate in years(32.9). Lucky us Americans..

    Yep, it is great and I am looking forward to a cheap vacation with the family in Europe this summer.

    If you are looking for a "cheap" holiday in Europe you may be disappointed. Even at current rates nowhere is a cheap as the USA.
