What???? No Pattaya?

Thais seem impervious to noise. OK, see how the rest of the world avoids Thailand. Get the jet engine loud motorbikes off the roads. All tuk tuks and motorbikes should have decent mufflers. Heavy fines for offenders. Can't even carry on a conversation on Sukhomvit without some uber loud bike going by.

The last thing Hun Sen wants to see is casinos going up in Thailand. A direct challenge to his monopoly in the region. Doesn't Toxin campaign for casinos? This is a major part of the recent Thai-Cambodia spat.

Chinese tourists were scared off by the call center kidnappings, not a lack of casinos. Casinos in Cambodia have been operating for years with no effect on Thailand tourism. One person who doesn't want casinos in Thailand is Hun Sen. Unwanted competition for Sihanoukville.

I was there once in 2008 with some locals who had military ID. Plain ol' falangs can't just walk in. Unless things have changed. As for Jomtien, I live 50 meters from the beach and I can see a big, brown blotch close to the shore every Monday morning. Haven't been in the water for 17 years.

Team of Chinese fleeing with the blueprints?

Quantity over quality never works out in the long run.

Put the chick on the plane, already.

I take Bolt taxis all the time. No driver is ever in any kind of uniform.

Love him. He's never afraid to ruffle anyone's feathers.

Parcheesi! Illegal!

Wait til they finish the 2 monsters going in on 2nd Road in Jomtien. Copacabana 2 and another 50+ story one near immigration. Its all over for Jomtien.

They'll make it harder for good expats to retire here but they'll still open the floodgates to all the world's riff raff to come for a 90 day douchebag spree. Another case of the inmates running the asylum.

Deport him. He's taking jobs away from the monkeys.

I bought a cloth chair from a furniture shop on Pattaya Klang 17 years ago and it lasted 15 years until the wheel base broke. My replacement chair was bought at Index for twice as much and sucked. <deleted>ty PU and they cut corners by eliminating an inch or two from the length of the seat. I unscrewed the seat from my old my old cloth chair and put it on the new chair's wheels and I'm back in the saddle. Cloth chairs rule in this hot climate. Thank god I didn't throw the old one out. If anyone knows where to get a new, cloth chair, let me know. They have gone the way of the dinosaur.
