Big C Pattaya Klang (not available at other branches). Has grass Fed beef. Imported.

I think i saw organic pork at Foodland.

You might want to look at houses instead. The prices are cheaper, and you get better for your baht.

The concern about condo prices is perhaps more due to less availability in Hua Hin.

Word on the street a few years ago was around 50k for one size fits all comedy breasts, or 80k upwards for something a bit more realistic looking.

wow. so much truth in one article. amazing.
 
 

Personal trainers are about 12 to 15k a month for about one hour a day 5 days a week.

More for western trainers.

Also, training 4 hours a day is excessive. Something typically done only if you normally do that anyways, not something you jump into suddenly for 3 months.

You can find trainers in most gyms. Just ask around.

Isn't it busy on the weekends?

I'd second Alan Bolton. Nearby, been around for ages, and very familiar with the property of which you speak.

Their English staff is also nice.

how did you come to this conclusion?

while the shopping centres seem well attended,is there any actual purchasing occuring?seems a lot of people only go there to get out of the heat and rain,use the toilets,and eat in the food courts

Btw, is it possible that by locking up people they make money?

Charge for food, water, buy ticket, etc?

I can understand where the IO is coming from.

He's seen you've worked here, which means you've been in the country and know what it's like.

The IO is unable to imagine why anyone would want to visit his country if they've already been here. Therefore, by Thai Logic, you must be here for reason other than tourism.

The key take away for this, is one should never visit Thailand more than once in their lifetime.

And to be honest, there is not much worth to see here as a tourist that would need multiple trips.

Living here, however, as I do, is a different thing, and still worth considering.

The next concern is if they start denying visitors on a Thailand Elite. Hopefully they don't shoot themself in their own foot by doing that.

Traffic jams on beach road, second road again. Terminal 21 packed, central festival busy.

Thank goodness it's dead. Imagine how busy it would be if it were alive and kicking.

I have been saying this for years, what they need in Pattaya is a few clubs. Proper clubs. Let whoever you want in, but actual clubs with good music, based in selling alcohol and not tush. Music, dancing, clubs, you know, real clubs. The kind people travel the world to come to, the kind top DJ's get flown to play at. As it stands Pattaya is an absolute bore. It is the world's most pathetic senior living community, Get some clubs in there and change the entire vibe and image! 

"Water Sports in Pattaya" Shouldn't this be in the Adult Alternative Lifestyles Forum? [emoji33]

With the strong Baht and closing of bars, what incentive will there be for tourists here?

Thailand can survive on Chinese only so far.

More than 20 bars are owned by one farang. Another owns 3 bars. Do the maths.

Sorry if this has been discussed:

Is there an option to bypass the queue, or have someone else queue for you?

Not sure I'd manage a full days queue in the sun.

So, pay 500 baht to let a Thai min wage worker take your bag through. Or, train?

I use Mr. T several times a year, and as recently as a week ago.

Always polite, good diver. Clean car. Safe driving. Always under speed limit. Always prompt. Never bothered for tips or tolls.

And he replies to emails quickly, when booking.

Pattaya doesn't seem to realize that it's been declared dead again. Traffic absolutely horrendous yesterday, lots of people walking around everywhere, bars on Soi Buakhao and Beach Rd. well attended.

There is no government regulation preventing foreigners from opening an account. As far as immigration cares, this is possible.

However, it is up to the bank to do so or not. And this varies from branch to branch.

So, not quiet chicken and egg, but a realistic problem in an underdeveloped county.

On a side note: with a sizable deposit you should not have a problem in HQs of banks.

It's not like there aren't any attractive Indian women. I've seen Bollywood, and there are plenty of well fit women.

I think they try to get too close to the lady boys, copa feel or rub rub, then find they were pinched.

But leave out that part of their story.
