    Pattaya Gyms

    Coco's is a bit beyond my price range. I'm going to have a look at Sun Gym on Soi Buakhao tomorrow.
  2. I second that. I eat a reasonable diet but use multivitamins to make sure I have got everything covered.
  3. The answer is that they are not getting more stupid it's just that you are getting more observant.

    Pattaya Gyms

    I used to be a member of Tony's. I joined many years ago when the Baht was 70 to the Pound. I mainly used the Cardio room on Pattaya 3rd Road with quite often a swim afterwards. The advantage was of course the price. As I paid for life membership I could come and go as I pleased,no charge. During the years its been shut I have done very little to keep myself fit. So I'm thinking of going back to the gym again. My sense of balance has got worse so I find walking on Pattaya's streets uncomfortable. I have asked about gyms before but when I looked I couldn't find it. What I want is the use of a Running/walking machine with preferably a TV nearby to watch while I'm walking or something like Tony's badminton court to watch to break the monotony and of course cheap. Location is not as important as price but would prefer west of Sukhumvit. I look forward to your suggestions. PS AirCon not important as I plan to go early morning.
  5. The official inflation figure for that time is 9.3% and as the wage was about 300 at that time it makes 60Baht look reasonable. But you know what they say about statistics.
  6. He is not calling for 800 Baht immediately but over the terms of 2 parliaments (8 years)
  7. Thanks. I checked Facebook but I must have been to early.
  8. I knew it was moving so I have a map of were the new place is. Does any one know if it's opened yet. Changing the subject slightly but same Soi. Has Chow Soy shut permanently or is it moving as well.
  9. I had another look at DECO and the Family 2 looks more like what I want. Most of the time it will just carry 1 person. At 36,000 Baht it is something I'll have to give serious thought to as I said before it's 16,000 above my previous ceiling.
  10. The ones I looked at had a reasonably size battery it was just to complected to remove them quickly although they looked like the battery had carrying handles and 1 picture I saw the battery was out of the vehicle and looked as though it could be recharged.
  11. Thanks for that but I was hoping for a slightly smaller vehicle at somewhere between 15 and 20 thousand.
  12. I don't know if this is the right place but it's about battery driven vehicles (please mods feel free to change, if you think another location would be better) I am thinking of buying a 3 wheel battery driven vehicle, preferably one that the seat configuration can be changed to seat 2 adults and one child. You must have seen them running around. As I get older I find my sense of balance isn't as good as it was and I dont own a car. Have always hired one when needed (not very often). Does anyone have any knowledge of these things, I have checked out a couple of shops in Pattaya but they don't have what I want. I live in a condo and don't have access to a socket in the car/bike park, so I need one with a detachable battery which I can take upstairs to my condo. Can anybody help me here.
  13. The trouble is I have no idea how to do what you're writing about. I just want something I can plug into the phone line and then forget about.
  14. I'm just about to give up completely on 3bb. No service Saturday and Sunday not bad Monday but stopped again tonight and has been down now for 5 hours . Just came back for me too send this. If I'm going to change I need to know who to go to. I'm in a condo so it's only a phone line access (TOT) I did have 30 mbps but as of now it's 4mbps when it's up and running' What's my best choice of providers if I'm going to change. I look forward to getting your comments.
  15. 60 years ago we had swimming lessons once a week for 11 and 12 year olds. Mind you we only had about a 1/2 kilometer from school to walk. It's going to be a lot harder here when public swimming pools are almost non existent and private ones (hotels) wouldn't what a lot of local kids in their pools.
  16. So with a daily wage of around 350 Baht and working everyday of the year that still only comes to 130,000 Baht.
  17. Well, I would like to say how pleased I am with 3bb service. I would like to but I can't. I popped into the 3bb office on Saturday to try and sort out my problem. Can't help she said but I will send someone on Sunday to your home to sort it out. What time, no idea she replied So I've sat here all day waiting for 3bb who didn't arrive. So no sports coverage at home for the second night running. To say I'm upset is an understatement. If they don't fix it tomorrow I'm going to start thinking about who to change to.
  18. And why oh why have they started work on the other side when virtually no part of the original works (North side) has been finished. They have put the concrete down but for most of that side the pavements are in a terrible state.
  19. I bet this goes down really well in the corridors of power in the USA, GB and EU.
  20. Using the telephone is difficult for me so I'll just go to 3bb anyway. It's only 2 minutes away.
  21. My download speed is O.8 mbps. Should I just take my router back to 3bb tomorrow or what else should I do?
  22. Lotus's the other day ,no mask no problem. TMB bank no mask, Kasikorn Bank wouldn't let me in without a mask.
  23. Christ. You did 40 kilometers a day for 30 years. It took me over 50 years to do that.
  24. Single travelers probably come for the nightlife but couples and families come for the whole package.
  25. When I first came here on holiday 40 years ago I spent my days sightseeing and my evenings visiting bars. Mind you after a few trips I gave up on the temples.
