  1. Taxi mafia paying off the cops to get rid of the competition? How are coppers meant to know who's a Bolt driver and not? It could be just a friend in the car with the driver.
  2. Not surprised at all. This is America. Shootings are a daily part of American life.
  3. Good, hope they purge all those trangenders. They're a big pest, always grabbing at you when you past them and making stupid sounds trying to get your attention. Sounds like they're mentally retarded with those sounds they make.
  4. Immigration is gonna find you 1,600 baht. Pay it and do the notification there at the office. Then do your usual extension. Btw, you should know better since you own your own condo, so there's really no excuse.
  5. I'd still rather watch it from the confort of my condo, than to travel to Phratamnak Hill and try to find a spot to watch it. I'm sure they'll quite a few people there too.
  6. "Is it the whole event hellishly overcrowded and a nightmare" Yes, it sure will be. I think will watch it from my condo, better view being higher up and don't have the masses of people everywhere.
  7. "Where to make passport id copy for police?" At the police station, of course!!
  8. What locals? The bus is usually packed 80% full of foreigners!
  9. [quote] What's the best way to get to the MBK Center from Jomtien and return. I've never ridden the buses here before so advice would be appreciated.[/quote] Taxi is the best way to do the trip or one of the private car services taking your door to door. Not sure why loads of people are suggesting other ways, as the OP asked for "the best way"
  10. Complete stupidity, closing the nightclubs so early every day when tourists want to go out and enjoy themselves, only to get kicked out early. Great way to kick start the Thai economy during high season lol. Tourists shouldn't bother coming to Thailand with those stupid rules being enforced.
  11. They were giving out one free drink coupons every night on Walking St to this new Tunnel club, but the club was basically empty. Guess the unlimited free alcohol night made the bar packed in this video.
  12. Yet there are tons of sellers on the streets everywhere selling E-cigs and lots of people smoking them openly everywhere outside and in the clubs here
  13. Hate to break it to you, but Thailand is a Buddhist country. It's not a Christian country therefore they don't celebrate Christmas.
  14. Do insurance companies here insure vehicles for floods? Surely they wouldn't, as it floors all the time and lots of vehicles always gets flood damage. It would cost insurance companies a fortune.
  15. What documentation should be included in a rental contract by the owner of it? The owner's ID card and proof of ownership of the condo unit? Does anyone have a sample PIC of what should be included?
  16. [quote]What are our chances of convincing the nearest boys in brown to come and get rid of the grifter taxis and slow down the vehicles that are going to hurt people?[/quote] I like your thinking. It's almost 100% guaranteed that this will work. I suggest making an appointment with the head of your local police station absolutely immediately. He'll get right on it for you so don't delay.
  17. I would quit the job, honestly, it's the only smart thing to do.
  18. Some say it's very good luck when that happens. Time to buy a lottery ticket.
  19. Yeah, got those a few times too. You flag them down, they come to you and nearly stop then you walk to get on and they zoom away.
  20. Why did you take on the 4 free loaders in the 1st place? Sounds like you're a generous man. Can I join in and be the 5th?
  21. All you need to know is avoid Beach Rd. Bloody hell, it seems like all of Pattaya & Chonburi has descended on that road, the traffic is an absolute nightmare where you can walk quicker, impossible to catch a Songthew that isn't packed to the rafters and so many people walking (blocking) the sidewalks. I ended walking from Terminal 21 to after Central Festival on Beach Rd.
  22. "Beverly Hills of Pattaya" - hahaha that made me laugh so hard ????????????
  23. Indians get ripped off here for everything, including alcohol prices at the Indian nightclubs and the prices the girls charge them. It's called the 'being an Indian tax'.
