  1. Yes it's very hard to fry an egg..even when the customer orders it well done...
    Or to pump/repair a tire when you work for a Large Honda dealer.....but i fixed it myself today with a spraycan from Homepro...easy peasy...sad that the Honda dealers have never heard of it, homepro sells them..even you can do it.
     
    Anything else to nag about mate? Or is it time to go to the international club now?
    Hey your the one who brought up eggs n rubber. I'm surprised you made it this far in life with such overwhelming challenges.

    Thank God you were able to rise triumphant and all on your own [emoji122]

  2. Where my friends is perfect in this world?  Cars, motos, buses, lorries everywhere, uncontrolled, esp in Asia. Populations grows in size and desire to live in cities.  Tourists from large population centers (China) coz untold disruption of  traditional values and confound property values.
    This place, Thailand, is better than many countries, but not without faults. Weather, air pollution, poor public service and lack of democratic opportunities are real but don't affect me very much. 
     
    Important, TO ME, is the low cost of housing and food, the easy-going and friendly nature of the locals, the many fruits and vegs available, the numerous golf courses nearby, the very good and affordable medical/dental care, and the generally warm weather.  
     
     
    Not much good when you die early due to complications from inhaling all that crap.
  3. And 10 minutes ether side of those so only a small window to access. It's disgraceful in 2018

    Indeed, I recall reading somewhere (maybe even earlier in this particular thread?) that the specific problematical times were 2 & 32 minutes past the hour. Presumably those are the times when the Tech Doctor has his alarm set for performing mega-tasks on the Singapore server?

  4. Just before you go Billd..................am having trouble with my computer but don't know if it is related to the problems on this site?? For example my comp just shut down without warning, this when I was typing a post (has happened a couple of times).
     
    I am using the Opera browser. Thanks in anticipation of a reply!!!
     
     
    It's not forum related. If it's a pc and not a laptop you can open the cover and give the ram sticks a wiggle or re seat them. See you tube vids

    That COULD be the problem as it happens to me sometimes and that's the fix

    Could be a number of other things as well

  5. Was the officer in uniform?

    It would appear not as mentioned the officer was unarmed until a gun was borrowed.

     

    Did the tourist know that he was the Police?

    The policeman was GFs ex boyfriend so presume the victim knew about him, hence the argument/fight

     

    .

    The other question is did the cop know she was seeing another man ? He may have just found out

     

    Thai woman will often go with a farang even though has a thai man

    And no not just hookers

  6. Yes but is it organic ?  
    The best vegetarian place in Pattaya is Five Star J in Pattaya Tai, not far from Friendship . 
    You might want to ask the owner, a German where he gets his veggies from. I would be surprised if they are organic.
    And I would recommend a meal in his restaurant, it's really tasty food, even vegetarians in Bangkok travel here to visit his place .

    Nice will give it a try I'm staying around the corner
  7. I could not find the low cost food court area as compared to the one in Bangkok where there are scores of food stalls around floor 5.  On what floor is it? In the Pattaya T21 there were a few indifferent places on the ground floor. I found a good steak house selling grass fed beef so I ate there.  But I won't be rushing back.

    They nailed it with BKK T21 although it's almost at the point of being uncomfortably busy throughout the whole mall and gourmet market long ques from 6pm till close

     

    . Eat there most day but now do a 11am brunch only after that the food court is packed untill late

     

  8. Maybe it will all collapse, and the Beach Road of Olde[emoji39] will rise like a phoenix from the ashes.[emoji41]
     
    In the mean time, they should send enticing hotel offers to the Scandinavian women's nudist communities.[emoji3]
    The did it with the hot Russian babes topless committee but put the wrong address on and they are all semi nude on koh larn.. So close but yet so far

  9. Pattaya is fitness freak city! But I take your point.  But veganism, vegetarianism, organic food consumption is rocketing the west and so it will here eventually. As for the Thais: they might see it as a potential burgeoning market. Just as they have with natural herbal cures and as they are with seeking to control the rights over the medicinal use of medicinal Thai marijuana.
    Fitness freak is true but let's let's not confuse steroids with organic lol

    Im in Pattaya ATM but live in BKK and gourmet market and other supermarket chains do have organic but it's a different demographic so there is a bigger demand
