No, good area too, I think the son lives near Rompor fresh market too. Thanks, sent off.

Just looked at Rabbit resort. Forgot about that one as I rarely walk up that road. Looks very nice, I think they’d like the Thai deco , I’m sure they know the restaurant too. Also, very well situated. I visited Royal Cliff a few years ago , but you have to rely on taxis there. Also can be very crowded with group tours. I’ve sent my friends Rabbit Resort address. They’ll know the area . Thanks.

Oh dear, don’t you think I’ve already looked ? And I think you are slightly exaggerating. 100 ? In Jomtien ? I’ve lived there for the last 8 yrs so must be walking around blind ! I was asking 4/5 stars not your evaluation. Thankfully the other replies have been helpful .

Hi, I have friends coming over in March and they’d like a very good hotel with pool in Jomtien. They’ve rented a condo before for 2 months so know and like the area. Also, easy access to their son and Pattaya if needed. They do not want Pattaya as will be eating in their favorite Jomtien restaurants most night. And beach doesn’t interest them. I’m lost for ideas ? I think they’re hoping for 4/5 stars, and I don’t think there are any. Thanks. pS staying only 2 weeks.

I suggest you read his post again. You totally misunderstood .

Im a female, and I have the view that any marriage based on money from the beginning is rarely a good idea. The respect, on both sides, is gone. These sinsod ideas are archaic . I once had a boyfriend who thought my hard earned money was to be shared with him ! Needless to say, he didn’t last long. Once married I see nothing wrong in the husband helping the wife’s family, or buying her a house. But it should come from him, not asked for.

It might have triggered questions that you did not give the boarding pass of your departure flight, which they usually like to know ?? You say from » Europe » sounds a little bit cloak and dagger. You did also mention that your visa wasn’t done in your home country , so maybe a few reasons there for a more thorough questioning., Otherwise, some IO officers are more difficult than others , as is all over the world .

That happened to me a few months back. My bank stopped my platinum card as it had been used in the US somewhere. That card I use for airline traveling only and hadnt used in ages due to Covid., Yhe card was in a safe place, and I never use my phone or email for banking.. Obvious answer for me was that the bank itself had been compromised. Which they would not admit.

Well,I’ve seen plenty white white people in Thailand , and all over the world. It only strikes me as I think it must be hard for them in the sun. Otherwise , no interest in anyones colour.

Or, it could have been a moment of absence / concentration from the captain ? That sank the Titanic, and that Italian cruise ship not long ago ?

Thé only system to alleviate traffic in Pattaya would be to ban all parking on 2nd road and beach rd and create a two way system . Allowing only a bus service along this route. Yes, need a taxi stop system too. All pedestrian towns everywhere have this. Properly implemented it could work well with the full cooperation of police and heavy fines of course. Now you can all laugh !!!

I’ll never forget on Thepprasit rd , opposite where the bus stops for market. They are shop houses, one had about 5/6 dogs in cages just inside. These weren’t tiny dogs, medium,sized. I always looked when I walked past, all times of day, in their cages, barking now and again.,I should have told the police, but I don’t suppose they’d have done anything anyway, and I lived just opposite in TW condo then.

Really, what are you so afraid of ?? I don’t see anyone here legally having problems , except inflation maybe !! And they won’t have in the future.

When Covid started 2020 I had three Chinese women as neighbours. ( Jomtien). They had rented right next to me !! The noise, the mess, sleeping all day, another few turned up evenings, out all night ( where ?? ) . Found one in the morning sleeping outside her door in the corridor. These were not teenagers, more like 30 ish. I complained, everyone did ! You know the outcome, condo owner wasn’t there. Come March, I was getting a bit worried over the Covid situation so decided to leave. Took a taxi straight to Koh Chang, stayed there 2 perfect weeks, then went direct to BKK airport and home to France. Glad I did too. I thought the Russians were bad, but Chinese !! Careful Thailand , look at Cambodia and what they did there, and are doing in Laos at the moment !!!!

He’s the best Thailands got .

Why not ? There’s enough western crooks and thugs around to Thailand ( and elsewhere) to merit some hard search. Don’t we see them in the news all the time ? Wherever you live in Thailand, I’m sure you know , or know of, similar undesirables.

I hope this is widely spread with their photos in the Philippines !!!! Put on FB !!! People like that are dangerous animals that must answer to their crime. I’m sure the Philippines could give more info once they have the details. Have they left there, gone back home ?

The author of the article is talking rubbish !! Typical Thai are the best ideas. Thailand only did what any country in the world would do if they had a red warning from Interpol out for a criminal. No more or less. Maybe he should read the articles about Thailands red light districts, the lack of social security, the corruption in high places , the poverty behind closed doors ? Or has he read too many of these international front page news articles. ?

From what I’ve seen of Chinese crooks in Cambodia and in Paris, Thailand is best rid of them.

I stayed in Jomtien and often wondered how whole families could stay there, kids don’t go to school, elderly grandparents, obviously not rich, so what visas are they getting ??

What I’d like to know was WHY he overstayed ?? If he had a visa as stated, he could have extended and then do a border hop . Was he broke , was he working and couldn’t ? What was he doing walking along the road to the University, bit strange all that. In a shirt and jeans, isn’t it hot there ??

Well, I think a lot of you have very violent natures. How anyone can think that a thief deserves to die , that it’s his own fault for dying , is beyond any decency and any understanding. ( apparently he was an addict and had mental problems), I’ve been robbed in Europe at home, attacked in Thailand , I’d never wish anyone dead. The cannabis owner obviously had « friends », and could have restrained the man without kicking him until the police came.

Tony’s, third rd ??

There is a vegetarian small restaurant further up from Friendship supermarket on the left side. Another one on Pratumnak Soi ???´Soi where the Russian market is. Very good both . Right side middle of soi going downhill.

So what do vegetarians have for Xmas lunch generally ? That would help knowing.
