I live here & I spend 100% of my time in the tourist parts. It'd be boring as hell if you didn't live in the tourist district and enjoy the tourist areas.

What's the deal with Songthaews not stopping when flagging them down? I flagged down 6 songthaews one after another on Beach Rd, all empty and none of them stopped. It's like they don't want to collect any cash.

Southeast Asia’s largest Indian restaurant opens in Pattaya
bbi1 replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
I guess it draws wealthier Indians or those who don't mind spending on holidays. I believe Indians only get 15 days VOA here so they are getting the most of their 15 days. No idea if they buy many 300 baht beers, but personally I wouldn't be too keen buying more than one beer at 300 baht. I struggle to get my head around even buying one beer for 300 baht knowing that it's 100% overpriced compared to other discos. -
Where can you buy APEC cards from? Do they sell these on Khaosan Rd or other places?

Just tell them you're "Handsome Man" and they'll fast track you to the front of the queue proto.

Jannaat, Raas, Kama, Nasha by Tony. Are you gonna go check them out to verify? ???????? I guess Indians being denied from all the discos in the past created a great business opportunity for a few to create their own discos and rip off their own kind with outrages prices lol -

No, you'd be surprised. Those in the Indian discos are spending insane amounts on liquor. There are lots of beer towers being consumed. No idea how much they are, but they must be insanely priced if one standard beer is 300 baht. Not to mention, Indians apparently get charged 3-5 times more than other nationalities, if they take a girl from the disco, from what I've been told. 1k is standard for us foreigners but they have to pay 3k - 5k. -

Gotta say, those catering to the Indian market in Pattaya are raking it in big time. Those Indian discos are packed every night and they are getting ripped off big time with drink prices being approximately 100% higher than other discos on Walking Street. Imagine paying 300 baht for one beer. That's how much it costs in those Indian discos, whereas other discos are around 150-170 baht. -
Rental Exit Strategy
bbi1 replied to Padthaigoong's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Not if the rental contract is written purely in English. If it's written in both Thai with an English translation, then it is a legal contract with the Thai version in the contract being the legal version. -

No thanks, looks like it's gonna be only ladyboys and gays based on the picture provided. -
Can you get it at 7/11, Family Mart or Tops Supermarket? I'll try and keep an eye out for it to see.

On a similar topic, where has all those Wrigley's Double Mint in the bright green packaging gone? You know those ones in a pack of 10 for 10 baht at every 7/11 or for 20 baht in a resealable plastic packaging occasionally found in selected supermarkets? Can't find them anywhere. All they sell these days are Dentyne for 12 baht at 7/11 and Xylitol and both taste like <deleted>.
