I remember that .

Must be terrible for you to live in such a country !!

I give Phuket 10 out of 10 for beaches ( there are other beaches I prefer) phuket you need a car, good supermarkets/ malls only near Phuket town. Pattaya 2 out of 10 for beaches, 10 out of 10 for shopping and malls. ( I prefer Bangkok for shopping). Pattaya , near Bangkok and the airport as I like traveling round. Pattaya has public transport. Phuket has practically none , and taxis are the worst nasty crooks and rip offs. lastly , Phuket prices/ rent/ buy are twice Pattaya .

The shop looked like Villa Market In Phuket where prices are high for sure. 420baht is the price of my evening meal meat and rice plus a side dish of veg, and a fresh coconut or bottle water. Cheese is also very expensive in Thailand as is wine etc. Just go without . I’ve bought various cheeses and they seem strange, and the wine is usually badly stored , I’ve seen them stacked by a window in aPattaya shop. I eat the best cheese and wine at home in France so I’d rather stick to local food and a beer or a gin tonic. Anyhow, why would you want to buy baked beans on holiday in Asia ?

So you wouldn’t mind if a man , tailor or not, slapped your wife hard enough for her to fall, in front of your children ???! condoning violence is disgusting !!!

No the steps were on public land !! And you think the kick was merited ?Shame on you.

Incredible the length these Chinese criminals will go to to kidnap these victims. I find it a strange choice , Moroccans, who are not known for their skill in English or other languages, unless they are counting on scamming Arab nationals ?? Also their Arab is not the same as say UAE Arab. All men too ? I hope that they will be saved , these Chinese seem to stop at nothing. Surely the King of Morocco will have some say in this awful kidnapping ??? The Thai government should get in touch with him immediately.

It’s ash.

Isn’t there a song or a series “ you ain’t seen nothing yet “ ? This story is far from finished.

When in France , you don’t have to push while in a queue for the bus/ train , just stand still and you will be lifted bodily onto the transport.

You should do what advised by Sheryl and others. It is definitely not normal to get recurring high temperatures. The tablets you are taking are just masking the problem temporarily.

From what l heard he had his visa revoked .

I doubt very much that the blind shops offer happy endings ! I’ve known lots of them for many years . Never heard the like. The cheap road shops do that .

Im 71 and use a good massage shop, usually around 400 baht up’, for an oil massage, not the typical Thai massage that is too hard for me . I have one usually every three days, and yes, I do often use the Blind massage shop in Jomtien, they’re a bit cheaper, 300 B I think for an hour. Very good. Otherwise I’ve used Lets Telax which I ve always thought a bit of a show and too expensive. There is one called Relax on the first floor above the Sportsman Pb/ restaurant on Thappraya. Jomtien, just after the Big bus station for Bangkok. Not very cheerful faces but very good. I find all these massages places help me greatly and so relaxing.

It has been known for many years that the best deal is always direct with the airline. Then of course there are airlines that are much better than others. Especially with reclamations. Also, those cheap tickets often means flying at awful times, and often with very very long layovers ! There’s always a catch.

And I don’t understand why some people believe that everyone who has money is necessarily corrupt Jealousy is one reason , and as in his case a hatred of the police force . PS, I believe what I want.

The Chinese might do it free of charge if they get docking rights ! They did in Cambodia . Nothing like a few warships in the bay.´

You obviously don’t read enough ! Look for yourself.

The bigger airports have an airport bus like in the west, and in Bangkok you can take the bus or sky train. Phuket has one but it doesn’t have convenient running times. Great service in the UK where you can get the National Express buses that run all day and are quite cheap. Same at Nice airport and all French airports where you have the airport shuttles.What Thailand needs , and not only for tourists is a good public transport system . Imagine in Phuket with all the tourists resorts, restaurants etc employing Thais, their biggest problem is getting their staff there and home . A Thai friend of mine who has a few businesses had to buy a townhouse style house to lodge all his staff . As he said, letting his waitresses and cooks drive up Kata Hill ( or Patong) after midnight on little scooters is life endangering.

Why one day only ? Where are you coming from ?

Pattaya beach is basically a cesspit . I would never swim there, or Jomtien which is slightly better. The pollution from the hundreds of boats could be stopped if they wanted. Give them a designated port further away. The drain system is comparable to 19 th century London . A regular loop service of electric buses would solve most of the filthy air you’re forced to breathe, and ban all tourist buses from the centre. Plant trees and make all sois walking zones only. Deliveries mornings only. It will never be a family resort and the authorities know it. H

Was it a Boeing ? Another incident with a flight from Korea last night.

You keep babbling on about his wealth when you have been told time and time again he and his family have personal wealth , stop posting rubbish if you’re unable to read printed facts. Boring.

I’d never drink it. The big bottles delivered I use only for cooking ( boiled) . I prefer the 1.5 litre ones unfortunately as it doesn’t help the trash problem.

Shame there aren’t many men of Sean Connerys caliber in Thailand. He’s definitely a « Hansum Man « !
