Great list. It may be worth adding 1669 which is supposed to be the number to call for an ambulance?

(as long as you can speak Thai, I know, I know...)

I believe 1669 is the emergency number for Banglamung Hospital. 1719 is the emergency number for Bangkok Pattaya Hospital.

BPH maybe expensive but it is the best. In most cases the M/C taxi drivers will call Sawang Boriboon 038 488 882.

Tink the OP has left the building.

You have incorrect information I registered a new gun last month. However ammo is getting harder to come by. Some people say the Military are restricting the sale.

The removed quote was from a Phuket news outlet who must have got it wrong then. Yeah I've heard ammo is real expensive in LoS too.

Yes the price has just about doubled in the last couple of years.

I don't know why they the Military would want to take private firearms out of circulation because most criminals can't afford the Thai prices for even stolen guns, unless they steal the guns themselves I suppose.

There seems to be a lot of grenades in circulation and you can't buy those.

Any good Lobster based breakfasts?

Not for 99 baht, I'd be sure of that.

Maybe a Khao Pat Goong with a fried egg on top.

The old Scoozi restaurant in BKK used to get a Spiny Lobster and stick a tube into it and squeeze all the juice into a glass and then top it up with vodka and accompany it with the meat sashimi style. Now that was delicious.

Maybe a Champagne brunch but you won't get one for 99 Baht.

You can register with your local Police Station to have the Police sign a reporting box outside your premises a few times a night. Costs a few thousand a month and is a good deterrent coupled with security cameras.

There are also plenty of cops looking for extra work.

It's once a day and hardly every day. 1000-3000 per month

And they do not even check your place they just sign the book and then go for a coffee some where. A waste of 3000 bhat but the red box looks good

My experience has been different. Agreed the red box does look good

True lobsters belong to the order Astacidea while spiny and slipper lobsters belong to the order Achelata, they have about as much in common with true lobsters as prawns and shrimps. In fact a crab is more closely related to a true lobster.

PM canarysun his total expenses per month including accommodation are only 6k per month.

Maybe he'd like a bunk mate.

The Police allow the sale of fake goods outside their Police Station. Well I never........................

With all the fresh lobster in markets, why in the world would someone want to purchase old frozen lobster from the supermarket???

Because, as mentioned, the fresh "lobster" that is sold here isn't actually lobster. It's rock lobster. Nothing wrong with it, but it's not the same thing.

Personally I eat the fresh local variety. If I was in Maine or Canada I would eat the local fresh sort there.

The creatures sold here on local markets are most certainly lobsters. Spiny, slipper and painted lobsters are all native to these local waters and readily found in abundance. They are great eating and anybody who would rather eat frozen crap vs fresh, needs to have their head examined. Just joking OP

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiny_lobster

You should read past the first couple of lines in your article. They are not true lobsters.

"Although they superficially resemble true lobsters in terms of overall shape and having a hard carapace and exoskeleton, the two groups are not closely related. Spiny lobsters can be easily distinguished from true lobsters by their very long, thick, spiny antennae, by the lack of chelae (claws) on the first four pairs of walking legs, although the females of most species have a small claw on the fifth pair,^[6] and by a particularly specialized larval phase called phyllosoma. True lobsters have much smaller antennae and claws on the first three pairs of legs, with the first being particularly enlarged."

Just ask yourself what would Charlie Sheen do.

Great if you want to find an alcoholic, brawling boyfriend that has the table manners of a Pikey, talks like a Leprechaun and has never been blessed with social graces. Get an Irish boyfriend.

The Lobster yes best from cold waters but try telling the best fish part to someone from Hawaii. The water is all warm even the cool water is warm & the fish are superb. Come to think of it Hawaiian Lobsters kick ass but are clawless. I would rather have a Maine Lobster in the U.S. by choice though mainly cause it has claws to chow!

They are not lobsters they are saltwater crayfish. They are sold in Thailand as Phuket Lobsters. They are a waste of money. Hardly any meat.

"Shame on Pattaya"....What are you banging on about? Its a Helicopter pad . Its reserved for helicopters, why would you want police to be permanently present there? Using that logic you would want a BIB in every poorly lit patch of land surrounding Pattaya searching for Stoopid Russians .

Come on be fair they were just a couple of kids out drinking a bottle of wine and not bothering anyone.

Whether cops are around or not these scumbags should have enough sense to leave tourists alone and go rob a Thai if they need money so bad.

Pattaya proper is a small place. I don't regard the other side of Suk to be part of Pattaya, nor Jomtiem, nor Naklua.

It is a deep embarrassment that a young couple cannot sit and enjoy each other's company on holiday without being attacked.

If the Pattaya Police volunteers know the area to be unsafe, I suggest they patrol more frequently and maybe even have a permanent presence. Shame on Pattaya.

I'm not getting into a geography discussion but I agree wholeheartedly that this senseless and mindless violence is totally out of control.

Pratumnak is a very nice area and it's a very quiet and peaceful area but I've never seen a cop anywhere near the place.

This attack is similar to the one that occurred in Naklua a few weeks ago. My condolences to the couple.

Either we don't have the full story or the attacker has a great lawyer.

Looking for justice in Thailand, a long hard road.

Justice everywhere has it's price whether it's a financial incentive or employing a very expensive lawyer. Nothing for free.

Next time get one of those hats you can attach beer cans to and drink through a straw.

It's probably the quietest place in the Central Pattaya area a few vey good restaurants but it's basically not policed and there are a lot of construction worker camps around there.

Some nice hotels down on the beach front where you can dine outside with great views.

.

Central, I don't think so...

Pattaya is a very big place it's not just Walking Street. Try crossing Sukhumvit sometime.

"It was revealed that the officer was on his way home after completing a shift when the crash occurred and speculation has been widespread on social media that the crash may not have been an accident and may involve a Pattaya Bar Owner but this is purely speculation for now."

Hope they catch the perp.

Once Thailand returns to a civilian government the US Navy will be allowed to visit again and all these urchins will be gainfully employed and have pockets full of cash.
