It was built, as you say, by Major.  The issue is that directly behind them is a Hotel, also built my Major, and there is a gateway in the rear wall that allows the hotel guests (who just happen to be Chinese in majority) to pass through the Common Area of the Condo to get to the beach. That is what the co-owners are complaining about.

Have a look here

The last Grab Promo I used was in September.... 80thb off 3 rides.... very handy. They should have some more coming shortly I reckon.

Thanks for that Mindovermatter..... it was decided to stick with a chlorinated system until  such a time as they become more available in Thailand and more companies become experienced at using them.

he might be more reliable than the last '' ask the lawyer''... or not, as the case may be.

I am sure that there are many Spanish speaking people on South Island. However, as this is a Thailand based forum as opposed to a New Zealand forum you may wish to post over there.

I have lived here in Thailand for many years , I fully understand how Pattaya is and many many other places , however we are moving here for the expat lifestyle in the area ,food, activities and other expat friends, not for the nightlife 

My point exactly. Saakura... an apology is appropriate... unless the WiFi in Soi 6 is on the blink.

Did not seem as bad/heavy as the one 2 weeks ago or so - but maybe just because it was not directly overhead where I am.

In Central Pattaya it was pretty heavy. Naklua got hit also but not just with the rain but the wind.

what a stupid reply!... there are many expat families here that have children in EP program schools and in International Schools. 

It was a superb storm.... loads of thunder, lightning and almost torrential rain. I opened the curtains, switched off the overhead fan and watched it from the comfort of my bed. I think that many high buildings here will be checking their lightning conductor.protection systems after last night.

Why is only the USA so newsworthy.

Because, as usual, they make the most noise.

Judging by the morgue that was Pattaya when I was down earlier last week, the word has probably already been put about by tour operators. Picking a room on agoda was like shooting fish in a barrel with places taking off 60% and more. I paid £25 a night for a huge top-floor suite with a sea view. Even the 3-to-4 star places between Beach and Second that typically command £80 and up were half-price.

 

The place will snap right back and nobody will be aggrieved or anything like it.

 

Western tourists have been down year on year for about 8 years already.

 

Loads of Chinese and Indians filling beds and buses though.

 

Dangerous after one nights closure? How on earth did they manage the Buddhist Lent observances and elections that straddled weekends in the past? Many fatalities were there?

 

Stop trying to bugger up other people's Nirvana will you?

I am so glad that Pattaya has eventually chosen to accept the

British Pound as its' currency. Maybe now I can offload those pesky Pound coins which have out of date in the UK.

if you are flying Air Asia then they have a minibus which leaves from beside Central

There is a problem with cyano-acrylate in as much as it does weaken over time when exposed to water.

 

Used to sell it as a sales engineer for Loctite and it wasn't recommended for wet situations.

can you get Loctite over here?

Run Forrest... Run

Depends on the OS. Windows is of course doomed from birth. It was designed with an NSA back door. Apple OS is good but "closed" (you don't know what's inside). I run Linux, which won't allow any installation of anything without  "root" (god) permission. All Linux code is open source, ie thousands of very smart, very angry folk check it constantly for bugs. Bugs are fixed in hours. Updates are automatic, according to importance. Keyloggers don't work because they need to be installed. Viruses don't work, unless you're on your fourth martini and go #.

At "blackhat" conventions, a yearly prize is given to hackers who can "break" a machine. Windows is a joke - 5 minutes. Mac - 20 minutes. Linux - not yet.  

However, the computer and OS may be smart but the operator is the problem. Three yr olds, no matter how cute,  should not drive Ferraris. Clicktards, who click on anything shiny, are the gateway for "pwning" a machine. Do you open your door to a stranger? Pick up cute hitchhikers? Accept drinks in a bar from anyone? Then stay away from computers.  

PS I install Linux on friends' machines after they tire of Windows' stupid bloated system & useless help. No complaints so far. You can make Linux look exactly like Windows (ugh) or run it far better. And Linux & all its apps are free.

Are you in Pattaya? I would like to try Linux on a machine... thanks

15 wasted years... sad.

There seems to be someone who teaches regularly at Sky Beach Condo.... I have seen him teach children.

is that not clear enough?    ( if you are coming from Tai) at the market and going along to just after the second Tesco Lotus. 

Try taking the Baht bus from the beginning of Soi Boukeaw ( if you are coming from Tai) at the market and going along to just after the second Tesco Lotus. 

There is quite a large food market there. 

Loads of choice , cheap as chips and very few Iranians on the bus. There is at least one Israeli establishment as well, if that helps, however it does not have many good reviews.

yes, I was referring to the last pic. Pity, I used to walk past there regularly and saw it go from a thriving hotel to a Burmese workers hovel.

Those at the south end of Nanai are the ones that contribute to the floods of mud every time it rains as they have destroyed the hillside.

I was thinking of coming over to visit next month.... not sure I will now.

The flipside of the "development boom" in Patong..........

If that is where I think it is (Nanai Rd) it was once a busy hotel. It was then demolished and this abomination is what is left of the rebuild.

they do carry guns.... look.... you will see that their shirts/uniform jackets are not tucked in. Only a blind man would'nt see the bulge of the gun on the hip.
