  1. Most Thais would know that 50 km further down the coast they can find a clean , cheap, and lovely place to stay with their own people and prices and with an unpolluted beach . Don’t think we're really encouraged to visit. My understanding is it’s unofficially Thai only…FUF….f••• you Farang.
  2. Nope… hate cabbage, one forkful as a child and never again. Grew up in a tenament flat . Love pig’s cheek and tails still… awfully posh now though….. lol !
  3. Les Feukeurs, Les Bastaredes, Les cheapie Charlie's !
  4. I'm 77 and Irish and I never had spuds and cabbage , 2nd most expensive Country in the EU so god only knows what spuds and cabbage costs these days !
  5. Searching and booking are different... some just getting an idea of what's on offer
  6. Lots of folk search Agoda to see what the price is and then go elsewhere or directly to the hotel website
  7. Costs money to extradite him and then feed him in an Irish Prison where there's drugs on demand delivered by drone to your cell window. Pity they can't keep him in the Bangkok Hilton instead.
  8. It’s sad that so many of us like to suppress reality with alcohol and drugs. I don’t exclude myself from this as I’m a recovering alcoholic 26 years . The best times of my life have been since I stopped. I had never been to Thailand when drinking. I wouldn’t have the money. I have been visiting sometimes 3 or four times a year this past 12 years…honestly enjoying all the trips and growing old disgracefully. the best thing I of all for me is that my grandchildren have never seen me drinking or taking drugs.
  9. The average wage in Thailand is low and contributes to the reason why it's cheap to visit or live in Thailand. If they paid a decent wage prices would have to rise but at the moment they are rising anyway from exploitation and greed. I have seen many products in 7/11 that are as expensive as my own Country, Ireland , which is the second most expensive country in the EU.yes, import taxes , which are ludicrous, do account for this, wine being the best example, but sheer profiteering is rife.
  10. He’s not another Brit … Any tin else you want
  11. The power was given to him freely by a majority of voters in the US who couldn’t see though his lies but the rest of the world has to bear witness to his ranting nonsense or switch off all forms of news media. I hate turning on the TV even because I know I’m inevitably gonna see and hear the vile egomaniac!
  12. Spent 5 minutes trying to actually understand your comment.
  13. My well off brother asked me to check out the Centara hotel in Hua Hin as he was thinking of booking it. They wouldn’t let me in !
  14. Fawlty Towers….Sybil Fawlty….Mastermind….Specialist subject….The Bleedin’ Obvious !
  15. If you love visiting Thailand you tend to ignore the negative stuff that you encounter and forgive the ever decreasing sense of being welcome and feeling safe from exploitation but in recent visits I am gradually leaning towards finding new counties to visit and dropping Thailand from my list.... sadly. The whole package of Thailand's welcome, costs, service, and amenities is deteriorating and now feels like a rip off .. even the ladies are getting fatter !
  16. Drones won’t fall into holes in the pavement…Many Pattaya police are missing unaccounted for because of the various holes ! Too many holes in Pattaya !
