  1. Your a "people pleaser " , expecting of course something in return and the moment they don't give you anything back you will be bitching
  2. At least you said "bloke" , sadly the new word is "bro"
  3. You are lucky to be alive , you really should of stayed there in that job without retiring
  4. Another glorious day waking up in Pattaya , coffee on my sunlit balcony to start I saw a quote yesterday that has stuck with me "with age comes wisdom" Now finding a great cafe / coffee shop is difficult I do enjoy going to cafes and found the best up at the Hilton recommended to me by a member here , although I can't recall the price of my cappuccino previously ( I would have to go through my 2025 diary) The Royal Cliff cafe although a great sea view was not to my liking May I ask Pattaya expats here ( if there are any ) what your favourite cafe is ? I would love to go back to try the "doggy cafe " again I think , patting the cute dogs . There is a few cafes near tukcom ,Gafae is one which someone recommended to me for great coffee I really don't like those generic cafes like S& P and Starbucks and what's the one at Tukcom ? Black canyon ? Oh please, I still work so I'm able to afford the Hilton cafe ,don't be jealous !!
  5. He may be having problems the poor man , and we certainly shouldn't judge But there is no need for violence
  6. Oh there's no need for prejudices against religions , all I ask is we still show respect dignity and kindness to the management of Iran regardless of we are at war ,surely that's not too much to ask of you
  7. I certainly don't look like that lol, I wear pink nail polish
  8. It depends....if I'm going to retire in buying for comfort and somewhere to live out my days
  9. I guess if you have another 20-25 years of life then buy, otherwise rent
  10. Oh honey next you will be wanting to ban the ladies on beach road.. Always a do gooder wants to put their nose into everyone's fun , the church is on the other side of the world dear ,the Vatican may suit you better darl
  11. The prices of condo's have risen dramatically. There are far more beautiful here in Pattaya Condominium than in Australia You can't tell me that Pattaya is not busy, it's busy ,it's exciting and there's less crime ,it's a winner
  12. Depends where you go I paid 400 baht yesterday for a horrendous one I thought I would try one of the back street massage places up near sukmihevet road Should of known not to disturb them when they are eating outside , an elderly woman was doing my oil massage ,she proceeded to shout to the staff out the front in a conversation that went on for about 15 minutes before I told her I need my headphones . .I mean that's not cultural thats just ignorance She had all that time to have a conversation with them but chooses to do it when she has a customer? And then had the cheek to ask if I wanted to extend it by 30 minutes ! 400 baht wasted I will have to conduct an interview) walk around the shop before I go in , to see what it's like .
  13. No I'm on holiday , but unlike you I have a permanent job and actually work
  14. I'm paying $3142 a quarter in Australia currently because of high strata expenses
  15. To the OP Could you be more clear on your anxiety. Everyone gets some sort of anxiety What triggers it? I get anxiety being in crowded rooms
  16. I did that yesterday before the gym . I won't do it again , it made me pee constantly although the urine was white instead of my normal yellow
  17. I just woke up on this beautiful day in Pattaya , I went to bed early last night slept like a baby at up at 4am It's still dark outside and I unfortunately can hear motorbikes roaring past ,I will move from here tommrrw to a quieter location and have wrote a few emails to Airbnb CEO , who were kind enough to assist me with a quieter Airbnb in another location and will even pay for my Grab there to transport me , I'm so happy now I want to be where I was last year up near universal gym near the mosque up near that highway so I can hear the beautiful call to morning prayer But I just wanted to say despite the roaring sounds of traffic going past what a beautiful day it is in Pattaya and for those party poopers who said a few years ago that Pattaya was dying , you are very wrong I guess this time 4am , people are coming home from work unlike Australia where they will be going to work ,that's why it's noisy Pattaya is getting busier and more people coming in , the only downside which I'm investigating is the pedestrian access which I'm researching Last year I had to write complaints about the graffiti on Thappraya road that I saw on the roller shutters, . I did meet with a clerk from the Pattaya city council about it .. finally, And I say "finally " because despite sending them pictures of the graffiti etc they still didn't get back to me until I contacted my local Member of Parliament in Australia who must of contacted them because they agreed to meet me ..finally..although they kept me in the waiting room over an hour but were great when I seen the engineering department supervisor I believe it was cleaned about a week later , although I'm told it's back ! Anyway thankyou to the Airbnb CEO who approved my transport costs to another Airbnb and even arranged had a special person on staff to help me find a new quieter Airbnb with sunlight ,he personally wrote to me to say I'm considered a "special" customer I just wanted to say I'm having a beautiful day waking up in Pattaya, yes it's still dark ,but at 530am I will go for a swim Im just having my coffee , and writing in my daily diary all the items I purchased from 711 ,I like to itemise this so I know how many toothpaste etc I bought over this holiday period Pattaya is not dying off ,it's getting busier , I predict apartment will skyrocket here soon Even build a casino
  18. I thought you were living in the English village? You left again
  19. Im thinking of actually buying a few small studios and renting them out , could be a better income for me to retire
  20. Arcadia international
  21. Oh I have the same in Sydney currently $3400 a quarter for the next 3 years because of new lifts
  22. The owner of my studio Airbnb met me yesterday and told me he was selling 1,5 million baht I have had to do a study research analysis on what apartment would suit me long term I am calling it apartment/ unit / flat because in Australia if I said the word "Condo" no one would understand and they would think I said condom Anyway my Airbnb that he is selling It's on the ground floor, the balcony facing the big swimming pool So just metres away from your balcony you have people on banana lounges making noise ,so if you open your balcony door on a weekend you will hear their conversation. Not only that , as it's on the ground floor I caught two east European guys leaning over the balcony railing to try to take the plastic table and chair to put near the pool for their group., then drinking loud only metres away from the bedroom window so I don't want ground floor 1.5 million baht is cheap for this apartment 24sqm that he he wants , BUT the negatives,ground floor, close to noisy groups of drunks , swimming pool splashes ..looking now at real estate in Pattaya,it's very difficult to get a Apartment under 2 million baht even studios ,they have risen dramatically I also need to take into consideration transport, close to baht bus routes , grocery shopping , And my age , I still have 20 years left of life if I retire , so rent would be a waste for 20 years
  23. The mobile food carts are a problem because they block the pedestrian access . Those Raptor cars are another problem
  24. Oh ...I honestly thought he was 54 ..I love Geoff Carter
  25. You really think so ? I do recall it being one way last year on a trial period
