   How do you know where all these men live and in what conditions ?

Men keep approaching you and you know what their condos are like and how noisy they are .

Do you go back to their condos to read your books ?

Yes 

I went back to a man's condo last Wednesday night.

He is from NZ , he is very foolish with his money and invited some Thai guys and their girlfriends around that he had met a week before at the markets , apparently they had market stalls 

I only found out later he wanted to put in 500b to buy them beer and prawns to sharec

He later complaint to me the thai people had used him and wanted gasoline money in which one Thai  guy actually asked me for , I said to him to ask Eric the guy who invited them,nothing to do with me gasoline money 

Anyway Eric had run out of money and they didn't bring anything to the party he said ,we had to buy the prawns and beer , 

I told him he shouldn't of invited them over ,for what reason?

I left after one hour anyway ,they wernt keen on a conversation and kept guzzing down the beer!

The audacity of one of the Thai guys with his GF to ask be for gasoline money 

I was out of there after one hour ,!

Which VT are you in and for how long?

 

These types of interactions are there. I think part if it is the bar scene here. Guys are used to sitting at a barstool near other guys and expecting a conversation.

 

I also interpret some if it as gay, but it depends on the guy. It's always at the back of my mind. 

I have no probs with gay people only those old guys my age who put on acting decrepit with limps and walking sticks and they moving slow ,some are 50yo and act 80

Just wondered why you chose there knowing about the small rooms.

 

I stayed in VT2B a month and was glad to get out.

It's good to experience this.

Long term I know it wouldn't suit he.

I can't live in shoebox noisy rooms , I live in a noisy place back in Australia but I regard that as temporary until retirement 

But if I was going to retire I think Pattaya wouldn't be part of it anymore

What happened to the boxing regiment.

I joined Tony's ,they have punching bags ,but it's been so hot I only lasted 5 minutes 

I didn't think I needed a A/Con gym but it looks I do

Most of the time I'm the only one in Tony's Gym 

I will have to go there at night time to use the bags though 

I can't let my fitness go because of the heat 

I walked from Jomtien Rompho yesterday to Central Festival,wasn't easy but I did it

Same in WA OZ it is held by some govt. body, but you can still get ripped off, I thoroughly cleaned a house, on leaving it, apparently they had to call in the cleaners as it was 'dirty' behind the toilet bowl. They work on a days pay, ( I still think the agents 'friends' do it ) also you have to pay a professional carpet cleaner, and not allowed to do it yourself with a hired one.   

Don't blame yourself Brian ,your not a cleaner ,your a Scholar !

Yep. Especially when fare itslef is peanuts.

 

I recently rode a nice new Grab car to Aranyaphrayet. The way I did it was I took a 100 baht ride and once I scoped out the driver, offered him the Grab fare of 2500 cash "off the books". I was at the border 3.5 hours later, and he let us smoke weed on the way, so he had a 3000 baht ride.

 

Plus whatever he snagged on the way back. 

 

 

How much is it normally to that destination?

The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand expresses its deepest condolences to the family and many friends of Colin Hastings, a longtime FCCT journalist member. 

Colin died suddenly on Monday afternoon in Bang Saray near Sattahip in Chonburi province when the car he was driving hit a wall. Emergency services were unable to revive him, and he was declared dead at the scene of the accident at around 3.15pm.There were no other casualties. 

A veteran British journalist with Fleet Street experience, Colin arrived in Bangkok in 1973, and worked on numerous publications with the Bangkok Post and at Media Transasia. He went on to become the first editor of Thailand Tatler in 1991, and in 1999 launched his own expat-focused publication, Big Chilli, which he managed to keep afloat while print media all over the world went out of business. 

A superb squash player, Colin was an outstanding all-round sportsman and highly clubbable. He served on the board of the British Club, and moved as easily in Thai society as he did in foreign circles.

The FCCT will publish a fuller tribute to Colin in the coming days, along with details of arrangements for his funeral.

I wonder why a Monday ?

The highest statistical data is Friday night , early hours of Saturday mornings .

The callousness of some of these posts is unbelievable. Do they have NOTHING better to do?

Yes it's unbelievable..but looking at the statistics that many possibilities that they are the single shirtless old guys I seen in FLYBIRD condo in Pattaya last night they may be bitter in their lifestyle.

I had a weird incident in VT2B where I saw an elderly foreigner guy just sitting on his bed with the door open, staring at the TV which was off. I think he was mentally ill. He never saw me, just stared straight ahead.

 

Also, I had a problem with a mentally ill lady trying to open my door each night. I asked security to pull up the CCTV tapes, but they knew who she was and said she was mentally ill and just did that all the time. I think they get a lot of older people who are nutjobs in the VT's. Not sure why. Maybe it's just the easiest place to end up if you're not real picky.

 

It reminded me of the single occupancy hotels I stayed at briefly when I first moved to new york city for school and was looking for a regular apartment. People can't afford climate control so you see and hear a lot of "humanity", open windows and open doors for ventilation, people in their boxer shorts, etc.

 

There are also a lot of single lonely people who kind of want to interact with other residents but don't really know how, or they don't just want to be in a closed door room and there are not a lot of common spaces and facilities to hang out in. Better places have pools, pool rooms, libraries, etc.

You absolutely right!

I think a lot here at View talay Jomtien are lonely ,your right 

I had a guy walk into me yesterday, I have extremely good situational awareness, he criss crossed into me to get a conversation from me 

I could tell he was lonely 

Yes a few here walking around have mental illness and I would say are on some kind of disability pension from their home countries.

Sad but it's made me aware was going to retire here no way in the World would I be able to live in these shoe boxes !!!

Very depressing to see older guys end up on a bed shirtless in a 21sqm room even less in some cases .

Some with Television blaring out

Thank you Mr Duterte.

Some of these guys wouldn't know who he is because they have only been to one place being Thailand 

They live in these shoe box type of rooms 

All look bored out of their minds.

Some sit in their rooms all day with the fan going with no shirt on,their front door is wide open and you can see them laid on the bed shirtless

Well it depends what Generation of UK police you’ve imported maybe they are 49 up and have the stomach for it.

 

Over the last 10 years the UK police has recruited so many women and wet men that could not save them selves let alone other when the 5hit goes down.

 

Seeing two 5ft women who look like dinner ladies driving round my area of the Black Country England makes my blood boil. All they are is clerks with body cams picking their battles so as not to get out of their depth. Every opportunity I get I take the 4iss out of these muppets for hanging around (patrolling around a high street or shopping park or Mall ) where they will likely have the backup of some,at least 50% of the public a lot would stand and watch as the police were smashed in. The Covid period taught us whose side the police were on and it was not the Publics. Arresting old grannies and those who had the balls to protest the erosion of our rights of freedom. Were we able to eat out to help out and go shopping but not gather to protest ? 
 

They’re are in it for the pension and retirement at 50 and any of my involvement with the pigs in previous years has shown me say nothing as they will twist it to make their life easier not see justice done.

 

Oh and Oz is off my list of places to visit. It appears to be a leftists totalitarian state and unfortunately I can only assume the majority of Ozzies concur as thy voted that lot in , Up the Aussie Cossack!!

Yes Australia is becoming woke ....

But ... It seems the  Aussies are now angry at immigration because of the housing crisis ....well too late !

The door has bolted !

Pauline Hanson said 20 years ago to STOP immigration,they all called her a racist !

I could see the future 25 years ago when they imported millions of migrants ,of course house prices would go up !

But no ...they even jailed Pauline Hanson!!!

Sent her to jail for speaking her mind 

Well now the fools suffer

I don't get it. The OP already started a thread about where to get an electric Jug, surely the answer to that is the same place to buy a fan?

 

What's next, thread about where to buy a sandwich maker?

As a matter of interest pattaya57,  I see you just joined this board 6 months ago ,so did you change your name ?

Because I'm thinking you being a "know it all " you must of been on this board before 

Surely your not Liverpool Lou?😂

The OP has been seriously misinformed here. Depending on the reason for a call out, almost all UK police cars are equipped with firearms and a trained firearms officer. Unlike a certain country, the UK police do not go in heavy handed, guns blazing, to a domestic disturbance, when there is no necessity. However, there are times when armed police are in plain sight, which in most cases is a deterrent. 

So the guns are in the car !

Geez you wouldn't want to do that in Australia,they would jump in and take off with the car !

I don't know about you but if your a cop attending a domestic and the offender  pulls a knife , I'm not going out to the car to get the gun
