A lovers' tryst? They're not going to get to the "run away together to a secret hideaway" part of the dream.

Pattaya, Phuket and Bangkok gigs next month, if anyone is interested. Tickets from 6500 Baht.

No bikinis in that pic. Shame.

They're literally not taking the p*ss.

A very good night out.

He'll need a canoe this afternoon.

They put a horrid seasoning on their meat and fish dishes; seems I am not the only one who dislikes it. Santa Fe do the same (same franchise owner?).

Brentford?

I am happy to be a slaphead in this climate, plus I have saved a fortune not buying shampoo.

When the Glazers bought Utd all independant and organised Utd fans were legally obliged to sell to the Glazers, so small and insignificant was their % of total shares. By the way, Utd were getting nowhere near 60K through the gate when Knighton showed an interest. English football in general was in the dumps then.

Unless these "resorts" have their own beerbars, karaokes and go-gos the guests will be venturing out and dodgy pavements will not deter them.

They did vote, in 2016. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Thai_constitutional_referendum

You do understand that casinos will be bringing new and extra custom to Pattaya? It isn't a case of "either/or" for those already here.

Yes; the process is well advanced already. Pattaya will get one to start with, as will 4 other regions. Where, not when or if, is the question now. My guess is somewhere on 2nd Road between Klang and Central Marina. Plenty of vacant land; mostly owned by Chang's property arm; awaiting redevelopment. The money involved will dwarf that of the cannabis trade.

It would be number 3; they have opened a 2nd branch on Soi 5 in Jomtien. Pretty busy during Immigration opening hours, not sure about weekends, bank holidays and evening hours.

It was for ATMs, according to a local radio station.

They woke the cops. Shame on them.

The station is in 3rd pic, purple sign. I stand to be corrected.

One drunk hits another drunk. The End. What a story!

From the pics in the article, it looks like this took place opposite the police station. What gives?

Fair enough, but I disagree that enough Brits and Aussies are around, particularly when compared to 15 or even 10 years ago. Their food is OK but no big deal. I would maybe go once a month or so. Gregs tried to make a go of it accross from the Crystal Palace Hotel but didn't succeed; not enough customers. Prior to Covid more and more Chinese and Korean places were moving into the area. I wish Cheap Charlies well, wherever they end up expanding.

I think this is a non-starter. There are not enough Western expats or tourists in the area, German speakers excepted and they are well catered for. Kiss didn't renew their lease for a reason, same for World of Sport. I think The Darkside or Pratumnak areas are more likely destinations.

Dad's Army off to the front just as the cold weather starts to come in. What could go wrong? Protestors are calling for big demos tomorrow (Saturday) accross Russia.

Before the re-vamp it was tatty, disorganised and noisy; out of keeping with the rest of the mall.

I go occasionally near the checkouts at Tops. The food and service are both good quality and prices are reasonable IMO but enough to keep the riff-raff away.
