I always forget about Harbor Mall. I went there when it first opened and thought it was rubbish so have never been back.

Been thinking about getting an electric bike. The one I'm looking at on Lazada comes with Vacuum tyres. Not being sure what that means I searched on Google. I found the results confusing. They mention Pneumatic tyres and solid tyres but very little about Vacuum tyres.

Are Vacuum tyres and Pneumatic tyres one and the same thing?   As in tubeless tyres. And if so is there anywhere in Pattaya to buy replacement tyres when needed  (14"). 

Thanks dabhand just registered for August 17th.

I had a text from BHP (where I'm registered) about a vaccine shot. They gave a web site to contact but when I get on the website I find it impossible to understand. Anyone else having problems.

I use HD Prime as my source for sport. Over the last few days the service has been terrible. In fact it got so bad that at just after 11 last night I gave up on the rugby and turned it of. Does anyone know of a good replacement with similar sports coverage. I am quite happy paying for it.

Is there anybody else having problems getting Pattaya Mail. For a long time I have had a problem with Pattaya Mail using Firefox (my default browser) so I use Google Chrome when I need to. Today no matter which browser I used I was getting   Error 504.  message. Anybody know why?

Years ago I had a friend who had  bar but no transport so when he got some English money I used to go to a shop called Gold on Soi Rung Land. About 50 yards in on the left coming from Pattaya Tai. My mate said it always had the best rate. There are no rates displayed on the window I expect you would have to go in and ask.  I drove past there the other day and it's still open.

Apart from the name there is no other reference to what the shop is for.

As an extra to this Lambs Liver and Veal.

Where is the best place in Pattaya to buy smallish chickens. The ones in Friendship are always the same size and I would like to buy one a little bit smaller.

Played golf the other day. There was a sign in the restaurant which stated that alcohol can be sold but you cannot consume it in the clubhouse. I suppose a golf club is a bit like a 7/11.

I played a round of golf today. I tried to send a message to the club and tell them how happy I was was with the caddy (357) but it didn't matter how I tried I couldn't send an email. It was the first time I played there. I will only be to happy to play there again. But they could improve their internet access.

I was just wondering if it's common or unusual to have a flag system. I only found out yesterday that it's for Handicapped Golfers.  Well it's what my caddie asked for when she took me back to the desk at Eastern Star.

I found it made a hell of an improvement of my enjoyment. Mind you my golf was the same as usual - rubbish.

I am getting old  and slow and rely more on Golf Carts. As I am not all that familiar with the courses around Pattaya can someone tell me the courses most amenable to carts IE covering most holes and getting closer to the green. 

Also which courses provide a flag system for more access. I know Laem Chabang does.

Enforcement or Confiscation is not an Asian thing really,would just be  further tea money devices...... far better to BAN the statistical top vehicle killers starting with All Mopeds below 130cc .......50 lives a day saved right there.....moving on perhaps to (Empty / Overloaded )Pick Ups ( which ALWAYS seem to be EMPTY or Overloaded in back ......status BS or what ?) 

What are you suggesting? I have been riding a scooter here for best part of 20 years. No accidents. Mind you that could be because I stop at  red traffic lights and junctions. Don't speed or drive on the opposite side of the road (or pavements). It's my only form of transport and you want to take it away from me. Better just to enforce the laws that we-have.

Driving down Pattaya Beach Road this afternoon (4PM) I noticed a lot  of people on the beach. Some swimming some just sitting on the beach in small groups mostly  at the north end of the beach.  Also a lot more cars parked on Beach Road. Have the rules changed since yesterday.

This one?

https://www.golfchannel.com/news/matthew-fitzpatrick-one-back-singapore-open-gets-back-track

Yes.  Thanks. When I started to watch it I thought it was this year. As I don't know the result when I stop there tomorrow I hope they have the final round on at the same time

Sitting in a cafe today they had a golf tournament on the TV. It was the Singapore Open 3rd round. I knew it wasn't live but when I got home I could not find it on the internet. I checked the 2020 tournament and it wasn't that one.  It had Matteo Fitzpatrick in 1st or 2nd aster the 3rd round. Anybody know what I was watching.

It takes a certain kind of person to leave your own country to end up a tourist cop. 

I often wondered what happened to Howard.

I remember the day when a classmate of mine had German Measles (Rubella) He was also a neighbor

 

"Go and play with him now...."  my mother said.....

I was also told to play with my next door neighbor when he had it. Funny enough though I didn't catch it.

Beware they now have millions of doses of Sinovac nobody wants.
The Mor Prom registration system was a big flip flop coz of this.
I want to take a vaccine but prefer one that's at least WHO approved and so far Sinovac isn't.

 

 

Don't want it. Give it to me.

Thanks for that. I used to use the Universe Gym 25 years ago when it was on Beach Road.

After 1 year I might. Depends on the price. Anyway can anyone answer my original post.

I started going to the gym years before. Then took a 2 year membership. When the lifetime membership came up at a couple of hundred pounds I thought at that price I just can't resist it' I would probably do the same now if the situation was similar.
