I read sometime ago that legally all bars must show a menu. Another Thai law that gets enforced for a short time and then forgotten.
-
From memory it looks like the menu from the bar at the top of Soi Yamoto.

Chonburi orders strict control over roaming Arab groups in the city
roger101 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Yesterday I rode in the Soi VC area. I saw many young Arabs on motorbikes who where riding a lot faster than me. I didn't see one helmet on any of them. The way they were riding I doubt if any had licenses. Doubling the financial requirement for a retirement visa would hurt me (I would have to relocate) it wouldn't hurt them because most of the ones I saw looked to be in their early 20s ,so wouldn't be here on a retirement visa anyway. -
“The Masterpiece” campaign to normalise breastfeeding
roger101 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Considering how beneficial this is for the child and the country as well (breastfeed children are healthier which cuts down expenses for family and government), you would have thought the powers that be would have a massive advertising campaign and set up all the facilities to make it possible. -
What would you offer for a 2017 125 Click with 52,000 on the clock with full service history?
-
It probably does but you need brains to be able to use it.

Send for Leslie Phillips.

OK Tomorrow I will go and look.

And before I get posts saying why don't I go and look, asking on here means that lots of other people (including me) wont waste a trip to the market if the answer is no but will encourage people to go if the answer is yes. I thought that the whole point of Thai Visa (I prefer the old name) is to make life easier for expats and others.

I have been buying oysters now from Naklua market. I dozen today 480 Baht.. I just wish there was somewhere closer to Thepprasit Road. Mind you I haven't tried Rattanakorn market. Anybody know if they sell what I'm looking for.

Thai cinemas offer Chinese subtitles for the first time
roger101 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I haven't been to the cinema in 20 years and wont until they offer English subtitles. -
I was thinking that. There is a big difference between walking into a Restaurant that also serves beer and a Bar that also does food.
-
I'd forgotten that. Thanks Crossy

What the UK Government forgets is that people living abroad don't use the NHS, and they don't claim any other benefits that people receive if they lived there. That would more than pay any money paid to pensioners here. I have been in hospital 5 times in the years I have lived here. I paid. Cost to the NHS -nothing.

NACC Finds Possible Guilt Against Former Pattaya Mayor in Condo Scandal
roger101 replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
I think the family already had a bad reputation before this. Like father like son etc. -
I'm not whinging about it, just stating a fact that I won't go anywhere that has a dual pricing system.

With reference to the landlord entering the house. Surely this would be written into the lease as a condition.

Tragic Brake Failure: Truck Crash Claims One Life, Injures Two
roger101 replied to webfact's topic in Eastern Thailand News
Also driven by an idiot and occupied by non seat belt wearing passengers. -
Hi Jingthing. While we are on the subject of Chinese food can you tell me of a westernized Chinese Restaurant in Pattaya. I always used Choy Soy before.

Buriram residents bewildered by backdated water bills up to 9 years old
roger101 replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
It seems to me that the private company collected the money and forgot to pass it on. So the water company is going after the individuals instead of the company. -
It's obviously brake failure.

Is there an upcoming national alcohol ban on August 1-2, 2023?
roger101 replied to guyfromtheweb2's topic in General Topics
There is a big difference between drinking at home and popping out to the local for a bevvy. People on holiday don't really want to sit in their hotel room drinking, and of course there is also the possibility that don't know until they go out in the evening. Regular drinkers who live here know exactly where to go to get served. -
Yet Again – Shopper’s Slipper Gets Stuck In Store Escalator
roger101 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
As somebody wrote earlier these things should be Idiot proof, Child proof, Disabled People proof etc. A slight distraction at the end of an Escalator or Moving Walkway shouldn't cause you to loose your leg or your slipper. -
But we do think about it occasionally.

My father worked in a brewery. Every Friday he went to the tasting room with the Brewer and had a couple of pints. He said it was the best tasting Bitter he had had for years. He moaned that it was never the same in pubs. Kept in the wrong conditions and they didn't clean the pipes often enough.
