Why buy branded?

Red Cock Vodka from Tesco, 150bht 70cl.

Black Cock Whiskey, 170bht 70cl.

Hong Thong blended Rum, 250bht 70cl.

 

It all tastes the same if you're drinking it with a mixer or in a cocktail.

If you want branded to impress your mates, do what the Thais do, pour the cheap stuff into an expensive bottle.

Nothing to do with impressing my mates, I was intially concerned about possibly being sold fake/poorly manufacturer alcohol, and now as others have said the cheap stuff is gut rot cr@p.  I'm happy to pay a little more to reduce the risk of not knowing what I'm actually putting into my body

I'm not at the 150bht per 70cl stage just yet 

Wheres best to buy brand spirits in Pattaya for pre-drinks on a night out?   Any 7/11 or Family Mart OK?  Or is there somewhere better you locals know of?

Thanks guys, put my mind at rest...   16 nights to enjoy!    ????

Try Soi Chalerm 19 off Soi Buakhao near Vics Place. New clinic there with a great doctor as long as you’re presenting with the appropriate symptoms/ailments????????????

It is always a good idea to be nice and humble????????????

Pattaya

 

 

Hi Jack7106

Hope you dont mind me asking, I'm coming out to Pattaya next weekend for 3 weeks and currently use a hybrid CBD oil (both Sativa and Indica) back home in the UK and dont want to bring a pot with me for obvious reasons.

Is this something I can just walk into the clinic you mentioned and purchase?  For anxiety and poor sleep?

Booked for 16 nights in Pattaya next week in a condo, just had the standard AirBnB generated email 'reminder' come through, 'not long now' 'dont forget to pack' blah blah and there was a bit on there about TM30 form

Do I need to do this??  Never used AirBnB before, only hotels.  Do I need to do this form??

Please guys do not hijack this thread with non Thailand pixs. Just to get us back on track. It does have a Thai license plate. Ferrari F430.

 

Normally see these parked up outside the Sala in Ayutthaya, while their talcum powder faced Thai owners spend 4 hours photographing and 'IG'ing' (whatever that is...) the overpriced meals they order, just so they could filter the life out of them before posting them for all to see

Nice car though ????

I only ever holiday in Pattaya, have never lived there.  But have a friend who rents on the dark side near Maphrachan Lake, think he pays about 14k or 15k a month for a 3 bed bungalow with ample off street parking and a decent garden in a gated community.  Aside from crossing Sukhumvit everytime you want some madness, its quite a nice area (from what I've seen).  I'd consider it if I was ever to move to Pattaya/surrounding area

2nd Road end of Soi Made in Thailand is a very small bar with a band every night (from what I've seen).

 

Beach Road end of Soi 7 I believe has a couple of small bars with live bands too.

 

Tree Town got a few places with Thai band playing as well.

 

There's also some actual Thai bars on 3rd Road near Soi Bongkoch that have local bands playing. May be best to have a Thai girl with you though.

Thanks Steve, we often go down 7 ans 8 so will take a look.  And have seen a few Vlogs (or whatever they're called) on YouTube of TreeTown...

I remember a couple of bars on 3rd road abouit 12 years ago when i use to visit

No mention of the Triangle bar?

Jacko, do you mean the one on the Chaiyapoon/Xcite junction, just off Bukhaow?

Thanks guys, we've got a ground floor condo so like you say beautifulthailand99, great view but hoping it wont be too noisy. 

I'll be OK with the locals splashing around in their tiny smalls, but not wanting the usual overweight, hairy, speedo wearing accessories they usually come with as part of the package....  

Ive booked a condo in Centara Azure Condo for November, i know of the Centara Azure hotel down Soi 15 off Soi Bukhaow (The one with the huge fish tank in, just past Hideaway, opposite Korandos), is this the condo block, or just the hotel?   Little confused...

Can someone please clear it up for me? 

I cant remember if I've asked this before or not (so apologies if I have, but cant find it anywhere if I did ask...). 

Any small bar recommendations in Pattaya that have a Thai band playing?  I know theres loads like Hot Tuna in Walking Street, and the Rolling Live bars, but any recommendations for much smaller places (I'm talking same size roughly as Jony's along Bukhaow, or smaller)

Any places you've been and can recommend please?  I know there are hundreds in town, just after any recommendations

Jenny Star Bar on Walking Street closed many moons ago already....    ????

I'm visiting in November for 3 weeks, 2 in Pattaya and 1 up in Ayutthaya.  I usually take with me enough baht to get through day 1, taxi from airport etc then change up £ serling in new notes at Superrich or TT excahnge.

Whats advisable to do this year? I know no ones a fortune teller, but i changed up £1,000 in May and got 42 thb to the £.  Should i change up for sterling now, or bring out £ notes in november?  (Given it will be 6 days after Brexit..............)

What would you guys do??

unlucky.  No sympathy at all.  In fact, chuckling to myself at the look on his face

Thers no corruption here, nothing to see. Move along, move along....

Coming out again in November and we’ve seen all the usual Nong Nooch, sanctuary of truth, gold Buddha, floating market, mini Siam etc

what other places of interest are there within an hours drive from Pattaya please guys? 

Thanks all (I think....) will go back and discuss with her, given the exchange rate at the moment it’ll probably be cheaper to get them done at home (if she decides to) 

As above, wondering if there’s any outdoor yoga places in Ayutthaya? Preferably somewhere scenic? 

Found a a couple of studios online, but wondering about places outside 

Thanks RoadWarrior

i assumed a lot of the better hospitals in or around Pattaya and BKK would be world leading? Given the number of boob jobs they do? (Granted, most are performed on Thai males) 

Aside from the obvious 6ft leggy lovelies of Soi 6/1, can any of you recommend a decent surgeon in or around Pattaya who does breast enlargement? Am coming out early next year with a female friend who is considering having it done in Thailand.

Any advice or pointers greatly received (and funny comments also welcome)  

Thanks again. Have never drunk drive/ridden so wont be a problem, always walk or get a mototaxi at night.  Was looking at the Fresh Inn Hotel next to the Hilton, seemed reasonable and very central to nightlife

Ahhh OK thanks NCC1701A, we ususally do 2 weeks in pattaya partying then a week elsewhere, Buriram, Chiang Mai or Ayutthaya.  Will have a read up on Hua Hin and maybe not book a whole week there then
