    What has been seen cannot be unseen!😁

    He had reached "Touching-cloth" status!😁

    I've long thought of Israel as being like an overseas territory of the USA, almost like a colony. Also, who ever thought that establishing what is basically a European country in the middle east was going to work out well?

    Soi Nana - "Bringing Pattaya To The City".😁

    Just when I thought that our German-speaking cousins were about to take our 'crown'...?😊

    It used to be someone that you had known for 2 years, and that they were of some 'standing', like a judge or a doctor or JP.

    This would mean European powers committing to the defence of countries 6,000 miles away.

    They also moved The Dubliner, but it just wasn't the same as the original.

    Castrate and muzzle the owner, and put the dog in prison!😊

    The Formation-Pointing Team😊

    ...and there was me thinking that it was only Brits who do such things!😊

    There was virtually no queueing, and I had absolutely nothing else to do. So why not spend 30-60 minutes, my time wasn't valuable in any way at all, I had nothing whatsoever to do all day other than sit around and BS with friends. It also meant that I got a bit of exercise walking to the bank and back. I've known of guys walking quite a way to a different exchange bureau to probably save 30 Baht.

    When I used to buy expensive air tickets I would sometimes go to the bank to get the cash and save the 2,000 - 3,000'ish Baht card fee.

    In Thailand it's possible for a vendor to charge you 2 or 3% for using plastic, in the UK they're not allowed to do that, AFAIK.

    It was as long ago as the 1980's in the UK that people could no longer insist on the right to be paid their wages in cash.

    I was last there 20+ years ago, I've long since stopped visiting the Plaza, just drinking in Soi Nana, Stumble Inn etc.

    OK yes, I'm just mentioning how it is in the UK now. Pretty much EVERYWHERE now has the card reader machines. I do still keep some coins for a few things like parking ticket machines (in the glovebox) and where I used to live, the washing machine. Other than that, it's 100% plastic. (I even pay the bus fare with plastic!).

    They used to do nice ribs in the Woodstock Bar.

    Is that Peter that ran the Old Dutch? White haired Brit guy.

    I remember it being there 18 years ago when I lived off Soi 22, and someone had said that it had been there for a very long time before that.

    There are lots of 'gaps' in lower Sukhumvit nowadays where bars used to be, sadly missed. The Offshore Bar. The Dubliner. CC's. ("only piss, no sh*t" toilet) The Beer Garden (Soi 7). The Beer Haus (Soi 23). The Cross Bar. The Kiwi/Soi 8 Bar. The Londoner. For me, even when they're only moved to a new location, it's never quite the same!

    I used to like the full English breakfast in Chequers. I seldom used it as a boozer, but would have if I had lived closer.

    You don't need those things to use a debit card.
  24. Andrew65
    I moved back to the UK from Thailand 6 years ago, and I would say the vast majority of my transactions in the UK are now with a debit card, and no problems with it.

    Det 5, a bar restaurant in Sukhumvit Soi 8, BKK I think was charging 70 Baht for a small Tiger when I was there recently. Nice food there too. Red Lion Soi 13, 80 Baht.
