Soi Kopai has some used Restaurant businesses in Pattaya

If you love old style, still working fishing villages, travel to Prachuap Khiri Khan and along the coast to Chumphon...Many small fishing villages, usually situated up tidal rivers. Not at all over run with tourists...yet.

you can head to Trat, also

When I was going to America for a holiday, I read a bit about the country in a magazine.

i was told to expect to use about 20% of my spending money on tips in hotels and restaurants etc

Because of that, I went the whole three week holiday and never tipped even one cent.

If the capitalist employers won't pay their employers a decent wage, and have to depend on customers to tip their staff, then let them cut their profits a bit.

. Wonder how many Sneezers u had on your food...

Why would they sneeze on my food when they do not know whether I am going to tip them or not? I may have been a good tipper for all they know.

No repeat appearances...I can smell a no tipper anyway, in the biz for along time

There's no way to link this tiny indescrepancy to a single cashier. It's simply not possible in a large store with many cashiers.

Do yourself a favour and forget about it.

If you walk in there with your receipt and tell them she <deleted> up her job they will probably just fire her. How will you feel then ?

They won't tell you they're going to do this but for the purpose of arguments sake you should assume that they will absolutely 100% fire her if you do this.

So police officers <deleted> up and they are put to inactive post, but a checkout girl misses a 49 baht item and 100% she is fired?

how do you guys dream up this nonsense?

Extraordinary how foriegners seem to know all these things absolutely 100% but have no proof or experience 100%

my gf cahier was fired for giving me a container of milk for 40 instead of 45, it can happen

My Thai wife once berated me for tipping at a restaurant. Her opinion was they were already making money and if I want to give my money away I should give it to a disabled person sitting on the footpath who can't work.

There is an old lady begging in Udon, close to Sampan and Central, she makes about 800 baht a day and gambles all of it, she looks like Hell too, malnourished, my gf heard the locals discussing it at restaurant

I see they re working on new bar, where Sports bar was, New Sports bar is beautiful. And what's going on with Sampan fish and chips, unusual hours, looks open but isn't.

I have no problem the thread being refreshed, it should probably be put on top of page to Stickies...but I never read anything up there anyways.

Well give him a Piss Test, see if drugs are in his system...

Today I had my application declined, because they wanted a written with signature travel plan for the metv visum. What places I'll stay, purpose of stay and where I'll do my border runs for the 60 days extensions.

Anybody else had to do this?? I had perfectly filled into all other requirements. Showing copies of in-flight and out-flight, copies of hotel staying at arrival, bank statement with 5000 minimum, travelplan about when to re-enter the country (general paper with applications), every listen recommendation.

Is this weather they think I'll be working there or to ensure that my stay is tourism only. Kinda would suck if they will decline it again for some half assed reason, bye bye money.

which Consulate, LA was so EZ

Thanks.

I did find a destination that looks OK that appears to have lower cost housing for sale (but not for rent).

St. Petersburg FL and Bradenton FL.

Beautiful Boating, lots of Tennis Stars, too, live there, train there, I guess the demographic changed in Bradenton

Pickle juice

Look on FB, all u do is see bottles of whiskey and beer, whiskey, out of control drinking

Soi Kopai, you ll find something

I suggest everyone dispense with all the trash talk about the driver until the accident is investigated.

The driver could have had a mild stroke or other medical condition. If so, there is no negligence, no legal liability, nor could charges be filed.

Post accident, drivers do occasionally get help and are rushed to the hospital by a witness.

It's possible he fell asleep. He could be charged with that.

I'm at a loss to understand why some posters are so angry and negative after reading news that generally is wriiten, before an investigation, with a negative spin to generate more business.

Be calm and thankful where you are and enjoy the freedoms and great food here. Keep in mind millions of people worldwide have lost what you currently have in Thailand.

. Apologist, do u have FB , all over the place these videos, running away after a Stroke, my god man, open your eyes, they are Murderers, Plain and Simple, Koji Absolute Carnage,

Few of days of rain in Udon Area and Seka, lot of Lightning

Thank-you Ireland32, that looks like what I need. I'll take a run over there to check it out.

4500 a year and peace of mind for me and mailboxes too, Welcome

Siam Secure is where I put my stuff on Pattaya Klang near Foodland , Harbor Mall, google it, or search Pattaya forum for other posts, they have over 300 customers so far

I sat at Eastwood Bar across Soi from Fun Bar, they had some talent at Fun Bar last nite, Eastwood has pool table, that's why I was there, friendly bar, too, good music, YouTube selections...

South Pattaya road is strictly enforced, odd even day

I just came back from a trip to Isan and they were all over the north and eastern Thailand.

Must be millions and millions of them.

Ll over Udon and Nong Han, Seka, Buek en long, monarch and big black ones, sign of healthy environment, I hope, white ones are more greenish like cabbage

Perhaps Terminal 21 will have adequate parking for buses. That would be nice. Those are what cause all the delays, damage, and traffic in this town. I've got a motorcycle so I usually am able to maneuver thru it all. But there are times when I'd just rather stay home than go out shopping because of the hassle of traffic and grid lock.

Not 100% true about buses and traffic.

Selfish Thai pickup / car drives do plenty adding to unnecessary traffic congestion in this town.

Me first, me first, get out the way, The man babies of Thailand.

THAIFIRSTNESS...

Lot of improvements, Terminal 21, Central is coming, New Big C, and The Mall is good, traffic is horrible, u can jump in minivan to don mueng from bus station or take bus, restaurants are lacking, but getting better, suepsiri rd is gonna be a Hotspot, not far from one of the Biggest Nitemarkets in Thailand Save-One Nitemarket,I think has drone footage on YouTube

I have seen the site for the new tesco but where are they building a new big c.

. I didn't know about Tesco, maybe was reported wrong or I interpreted it as Big C, Thanks, il try googling , it was an article on improvements in Korat

Today I opened a Bangkok bank account on a tourist visa. I had to bring a Thai with me who had to fill out a one page form saying they know me.

The only ID I had was a passport.

I am not American, but it appears there is significantly more paperwork and perhaps other requirment if you are.

The whole process took 10 minutes.

Soi Bukao Pattaya, just passport, I have METV, never asked, adress not asked, I know banks are sharing info, with USA as example
