  1. I wonder what he really risks and why he didn't pay the cops immediately ?

     

    Also, I wonder how to avoid that these journashiiit report about you when cops visit you ? I have no respect for these dogs and I would have more chance to be jailed for hitting one of these "news" beggars than for what I could have done wrong.

    This is the beach protection breakwater in Na Jomtien, south of Ocean Marina. These have been there for many years and seem to work. Something similar could be tried in Pattaya Bay.

    These breakwater are exactly what Pattaya needs but it seems that nobody has enough brain at Pattaya to understand it.

    I've live in Thailand for 12 years, but have spent a lot of time in the Phils for work; though mainly in Manila on that part. There are some fantastic parts of the Phils, and I generally find it an easier place to get around because of the less language barriers.

     

    The Phils really should be a tourist destination, but they have never really got it together, due to the poor infrastructure and dreadful government mismanagement over the years. It's current reputation is hardly enhanced by Duterte and his rants and current war on drugs.

     

    I find the people in the Phils much more friendly, and the level of service is significantly higher in hotels, shops, restaurants; however, my understanding is that bureaucracy is even worse than Thailand, so it probably all evens out.  

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Yes more friendly because they speak English and always expect something from foreigners. Just like girls there who could give their parents to have a chance to leave the country. I do not call this friendly but desperate !

    That's a crazy price. I've just bought curtains for 4 large full length windows for 17,000.

     

     

    Another crazy price...

     

    You guys really have no ideas of things cost !

     

    If you decide to use your brain you visit the Indian fabric seller near Tukcom and you will know what is the real price of curtains...

    I cruised the world on my own trawler yacht

     

    By the questions you ask you sound new to the idea, and if you do not have those answers, maybe you are too inexperienced to be doing it

     

    I had a UK MCA Ticket Ocean Going, with commercial endorsement and valid to 150tns

     

    I fixed and did a lot repairs myself, I cruised only with a wife of limited abilities

     

    However this is not for the fainthearted, I started playing with boats when I was 10 and progressed to bigger boats, I cam ashore about 10 yrs ago when I was 62

     

    Good luck enjoy, but it can be a painfully expensive experience if it does not work out, and this is the wrong part of the world to sell a boat

     

    He has 3 years to learn...

     

    But actually I do not understand why the OP does not prefer to buy a yacht ?

    Seems that most everyone replying to this topic likes Thai food over Philippine food. I personally dislike Thai food big time. My only likes are Pad Duk Foo and Tod mon pla. You can keep the rest of it. I do not like Philippine food either apart from beef tagalog. I did once find a nice Rabbit Pie in Pattaya and some excellent black pudding there too. I always ate at the Irish and German pubs in Sukhumvit Bkk. Nice roast lamb on Sundays at the Irish pub. In the Philippines I settle for Chinese stir fry or make my own. I learned years ago eating out may be more convenient but increases your risk of getting a belly ache or worse.

     

     

    Greatly open minded ! How can somebody not like Thai food is beyond any standard brain understanding...
