  1. You must be fussy, plenty of great pizza places. My favouries are Dom soi 5 Pratamnack, and (surprisingly) Hemmingways near Jomtien beach.
  2. I have done that route twice and it's a nightmare. Flying to Surat Thani (maybe staying a night) travel to the pier, ferry to KS and then taxi to hotel. I would never do it again and i definitely won't pay Bangkok Airways rip off prices so that's Samui off my holiday list.
  3. I recently tried buying a new helmet via Lazada but i think their sizing is very unreliable (like their clothes). I had to send one back because it didn't fit despite being supposedly my size. I don't want to have to keep doing that so i guess i have to find a suitable helmet i can try on in a shop. But there isn't much choice in Pattaya except the basic 200-600 baht ones.
  4. I would have thought most emergency cases would not be in a condition (unconsious etc) to make any payments (unless with friends). So the hospital has to either treat without initial payment or turn them away. Does the term foreign tourists include expats? probably not.
  5. There will be big brown envelopes from China to build this to avoid the Malacca chokepoint.
  6. There is no direct bus route which is a real PITA and why i try to avoid DM if i can. I remember once it took me 5 hours to get from DM to Pattaya. What really annoys me as well is that they won't let you take the shuttle bus to Suvarnabhumi on your return.
  7. In the 15 years i have lived here i don't think beach road has ever had a completed decent walkway. Usually it's like a war zone. Must be the longest construction project in history.
  8. Yes i've flown in and out since then so the answer to the "when did you arrive" question does not match my TM6, so why have it?
  9. Nirun is a slum, i wouldn't live there if it was free.
  10. Tourists might like a wine with their meal but can't with the 300% tax. I doubt that is going to be reduced.
  11. I've had my TM6 in my passport for about 7 years. It is gradually falling apart with age.
  12. So far to me in Pattaya it seems super hot. Yesterday afternoon the sun was so strong.
  13. Usually they accelerate when the lights are red.
  14. The trouble with those 2 nights is the terrible traffic. Impossible to get a bus/taxi anywhere. Stay in your local bar.
  15. My tgf used one on Thepprasit road, about 100 yards up on the left from Thappraya. They had their own car, a Jazz, but mainly just taught enough to pass the test. If you want real driving lessons maybe have to look elsewhere.
  16. I don't hate golf just the pretentious show offs who play it.
  17. Disgusting. I assume this had been going on for a long time, years? but no one complained.
  18. Crossing lights !! even more will be killed as drivers ignore them totally. Very sad for this poor girl.
  19. Yes i forgot to unplug my dashcam once from the 12v socket. Within a day the battery was flat. But i am sure there is a way to connect to the fusebox so when the engine is turned off the dashcam goes off.
  20. I would never accept and pay for something i hadn't ordered. Why would anyone do that?
  21. Let's hope we never have to fight a real war. Imagine going into battle without your tampons.
  22. I always thought it was to protect the (powerful) beer industry. The main beer brewers don't want the Thai population to switch to wine.
  23. No problem the DemocRATS will just "find" another few million postal votes.
