Seems a tad expensive?

 

Will have to try the Hang Lay from Lung Chef restaurant..................Hang Lay is hard to find in Pattaya

no it's correct for a dish that costs 50 thb anywhere else...

how much I would be proud to be a restaurant owner cheating all those people who know nothing...

Sorry, don’t know about the VT5 car park, as I don’t have a car when I’m in Thailand. There is a large car park underneath the building that seemed to be fairly full 2 years ago. Don’t know if you can purchase a spot separately from your condo.

My unit on shady (Pattaya) side of VT5D looks over half a dozen streets of single story villas. Beyond those, there is a large empty plot, which was being planted with some sort of crop when I left 2 years ago, no doubt to avoid paying tax on undeveloped land. Nobody seems to know just why a large, near beachfront block of land has been left undeveloped, while huge condo blocks have been built a mile or so from the beach. I was aware of the risk of my future view being slightly spoiled when I bought the place.

yes it's very complicated to understand why a front beach land is still empty ????

no, for sure, the cause is not the price ! no ! no ! no ! There must be a secret reason, for sure :-)

And yes, buying VT5 on this side is so stupid as the empty land costs so much that nobody will build anything as short as VT5, so you can be 100% sure that anybody of this side of VT5 will have no view anymore (and maybe understand how stupid it was to buy on this side of VT5...)

anybody eating street food ?

My favourite chicken rice is on soi Arunothai, that's all it does so know how to do it, From Klang turn right and it's a shack type place on the right about 200 yards.

 

My current favourite street food place is Soi 15 corner of Pattaya 2nd road, 30-50 baht

I never tried this one and never a Thai spoke about it.

Is it open in day time or only late afternoon ?

By the way, anybody knows a chicken rice restaurant (not street food) or any place selling Khao man gai during the day, and not only at night ?

Thanks.

There is not best anything, it's just idiots who comment this way.

But 2 good Khao man guy around pattaya are the most famous one in front of Tukcom and the one on top of Pratamnak soi 5.

And they are good with reason, rice really cooked in chicken fat, not good because one of those idiots said that it's good without any specific reason.

Khao man gai is terrible at any mall, they all reuse the past day chicken... especially bigC.

If chicken is not hung before you, do not eat !

The only good news apart from the war is that Cheap charlies will open shortly at JOMTIEN SOI 5.

Clearly a hit, because it's one of the few places in Pattaya selling good food at correct price.

A lot of post on this thread show how ill-informed foreigners are about road safety and driving Thailand. 

There are no stats readily available but these comments would suggest that many foreigners who are quite happy to criticise other motorists in Thailand are in reality more of a danger to themselves and others.

I do not criticise them, they are too far behind and I hardly see them whenever I drive !

and you know what ? so many years speeding here and not even 1 accident. I guess that not many here could tell the same story...

After 2 years so many business didn't understand yet that the only business they should focus on are expats, but I guess that most of those business owners haven't been to school long enough to understand the basics...

just one question, why waze doesn't send anymore noisy alert when camera is on view ?

Bell's Love Cafe on Soi Bonkot is a coffee shop with a difference as it serves and specialises in European 'cold cuts', including ham, cheeses and sausages from Germany and Switzerland. The excellent coffee is sourced from Thailand and is natural and fresh. Definitely worth a visit for the wide range of speciality German sausages and fresh breads. It's also nicely decorated with Thai handicrafts.

I put the link to this place...

they are not specialized in any cold cuts

they just serve breakfast with some ham

My Missus told me last night, that we can now grow ganga, I tried to explain to her, NO you MAY be able to grow hemp, but first you'd have to register with the govt, then they will take the flowers and leave you with leaves and stalks. Then I asked her "would you eat the leaves and branches of the Durian trees, but not eat the Durian ?" Her eyes glazed over, and off she went to clean the kitchen. LMAO.

or maybe she just understands life better than you ?

THC will also be legal shortly.

So funny how most people understand nothing and see nothing coming. But I would even feel worse if my Thai partner would know anything better than me...

I suspect the cameras on M7 are really obvious and stick out on the left hand side of the road, two sets inbound and outbound from BKK.

 

Can anyone confirm?

 

Those gantries with the LED signs appear not to have cameras. 

correct, and waze notifies about them few hundreds meters before you see them. Just don't forget to use waze as I do, because anyway I have never and will never pay any fine.

Why would you even consider not paying a tiny fine that you incurred?  Do you consider yourself above the law or are you just a bit hard up?

yes I do ! I also smoke weed since 20 years, as you can see, laws do not apply to me !

I like this car because it's the smallest pickup I have seen.

How much do you think we can buy one in good condition ?

10 years, more than 50 fines for speeding, never paid, can renew tax every year without paying, people who tell you that it's not possible are either liars, idiots, or both.

The rise of a virus that is disappearing everywhere in the world...

I got my account blocked for that, and they did not unblock it even after I called Paypal support and confirmed that it was really me. I had to register a new account with another email address.

 

The support rep told that I have to use Thailand IP addresses only to use Paypal within Thailand.

 

Fun fact: I'm still getting Paypal marketing and informational emails to the old email address of the blocked account.

Thank you !

did you register the new account in the same country as the first one, or in Thailand ?

Why call people who do things differently names.....some might think you a Luddite. ????

Embrace progress!

so how do you call people who just do what they are told to do without even thinking about the consequences ? Ridiculous ?

They are not going to allow private citizens, let alone aliens (with or without spouses) to grow any cannabis.

 

Cannabis will not be normalized, decriminalized or be made available for medical (unless under the control of the GPO) or recreational purposes.

 

 

 

 

yes so many champions like you who understand every single situation very well ! hahahaha I can't stop laughing !!! Thank you ❤️

It's a long time that they are ready... to sell !!! Tons of weed with plenty of THC is already grown in Thailand and ready to be sold as soon as it is legal. Then you have the clowns who still do not understand from whom this decision has already been taken...

Thailand is the next weed paradise and I am so happy that all the grumpy old men and idiots, who were against legalization have failed... one more time ! It must be weird being an idiot living in the past without any intention to improve ????

Not after the Netflix special  showed all the corruption,  and deciept, and how bad disease is at the Salmon farms in Norway.  Younever know if you are eating Dyed meat.  

Famous since 10 years and not only in Norway, UK is the same and any other country farming salmon.

so funny that some experts even think that they are able to buy wild salmon here, when it is already hard to find in the west...

Is it risky to connect to Paypal with a VPN when account is in another country ?

Do you do it ?
