  1. He phoned his family on the 12th from bkk and told them he was going to pattaya yet he already had booked his hotel in bkk for that night, so why would they presume he was in pattaya when it would have been clear he had not left the bkk hotel. It sounds like he arrived in Thailand on the 12th and would have booked hotel prior I'm sure. Rip but story doesn't add up
  2. Can confirm I had around 4000 baht taken by some kids on walking street about 6am one morning. Although I recovered the money thanks to the help of a local whom spotted the theft and the money was returned.
  3. Fall guy, obviously not a key player in distribution or sourcing.
  4. Murphy or father Ted's always had good breakfasts, if you hit a thai place up then generally it's not as authentic I.e they give hot dog instead of trad English sausage. If you want the best breakfast imo then head to the coffee club. There's one in blue port also used to be one by hilton on corner. Avocado, bacon, poached eggs, tomatoes etc plus a pistachio crush which I was hesitant at first but actually goes well together. Not the cheapest though!
  5. Yes we 'brought' a few years ago in hua hin. Very similar set up in terms of the house building from scratch and you pay per month as the build progresses. Well still 5 years on now from completion and the house is still in the name of the property agent that sold us the build! All monies paid from us but no property. Most lawyers were off little hope as most of them work with the agent. Lol won't be doing that again. I really thought we would be ok, seeing as the woman that sold us was a known established firm and had family in hua hin.
  6. The government just getting a cash inflow here, subsidised by the poor people of Thailand. If I give you a thousand baht today and you pay me back a thousand in 3 years time. I've just lost around 20 % of my purchasing power through inflation. Government treats its citizens like right plonkers!
  7. Pay your bills and be respectfull, dont be aggressive and you wont encounter this sort of trouble. Was it excessive, yes but most 3rd world countries are the same. Rare incidences like this actually do create a better safe place in the long run. As tourists see this and think twice about being an a hole whilst there and tbh it seems to work, as the only other incidence it's compared to is the family in hua hin which was like 8 years ago.
  8. "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice." That quote by Martin Luther KIng and Barack Obama seems to use it to. Suggests that things arent always as straightforward as they may appear.
  9. Is this one of your AI posts, as this sounds completely made up with fictitious characters!?
  10. Its of no coincidence that the decline in quality tourists begin to wane around the same time that i left Thailand a few years ago lol. Fear not statisticians, I'll be out here again in around a year, gentrifying Hua Hin and the surrounding area once more.
  11. I remember a few years ago, when they limited the water supply to the poorer areas but were still watering the golf courses.
  12. Its not uncommon for bar girls to visit the temple at 3 or 4 in the morning, i had one leave my hotel about 4am and returned a couple of hours later with a tattoo / etching of a temple down the back of neck and upper back.
  13. I have walked at night and drunk in pretty much every city in Thailand and hardly had any trouble at all. You cant say that for most major cities in the world and tbh wouldnt even entertain in most cities, regardless if i look like i have been working out lol.
  14. Hope everything works out Bob, but posting on this forum cant be good for your general well being. This is my 1st time encountering you and your posts and im not sure if you are like this in real life too, or you are just bored pulling the tails of the forum members?
  15. Resistance at 73K and also 76K, if it can get past that, then on to 80+
  16. There's even more rubbish along the back roads from soi 88 down to soi 110, just dumping ground. They don't normally advertise this in the brochure, just get used to it
  17. How are you supposed to take laws seriously when the people in charge don't even know what the laws are. There's many thing illegal in Thailand that everyone seems to do, yet do the wrong one of those and you are in prison for 20 years!
  18. What are you talking about, you dont get 25 years in the UK for a vape pen with THC lol. Source please!??
  19. Lol they wheeling this old codger out agian. Anyone buying into this rubbish needs a stern talking to.
