I think that the cheapest places to buy cigarettes is Model City Supermarket on Beach Road; 540 Baht per carton. can anyone beat this?

I can, I get my cigarettes, beer and water delivered by a Thai whole-seller, the same type of service that supplies the small Mom & Pop stores and pay 525 for L&M Red. It is great, one call and I get next day delivery and no carrying up beer or water for a month.

This post is really funny. Good one, or should I say great one!

You are my hero; because I do not think if I practiced everyday for the rest of my life could I catch up to you. As for any of the negative comments on this thread, please do not listen to them.

I need to put you on my friends list to read your future post, because this one has me laughing out loud.

I like the baht buses; they are a cheap and reliable form of transportation. That does not take into account the many beautiful women I have meet on them over the many years I have been using them.

It is true that roughly 3% or so of the drivers are idiots and another 3% drive drunk. Knock on wood, nothing bad has happened to me yet.

As for the monorail, all I have to say is HA, HA, HA. Anybody that thinks this is a good idea for this area has lost their minds. First of all, you will never benefit from it, because all of us on this forum will be dead by the time it is finished.

When they were updating beach road in Pattaya a few years ago, they left a whole in the road and covered it with a metal plate for 2 years right at the corner in front of walking street, probably the most congested and important intersection in the entire city.

As for the road from Jomtien to Pattaya, which I travel on every day, they are now 5 years into this project and are not even close to being finished. For the last 6 months they have not done any work on it all.

In front of my condo, they ripped up all of the sidewalks a year ago and have just left the mess there. Please, building a monorail would just be a disaster.

If they ever start the nuclear plant project that is when I am leaving the country for good. All you have to do is look at what is going on in Bangkok with the BTS line. They have finished well over a year ago 3 additional stations that the city desperately needs that are still not operational.

From what I gather from the news stories I have read on it; and somebody please correct me or update my information if I am wrong. There is a Thai Politian that has 3 years left in office that does not want to approve the purchase of the trains needed for those stations because he does not want to be accused of favoritism.

So, those 3 stations are going to sit there finished for at least 3 more years before they go into operation.

For those of you that think this monorail is a good idea, you just have been here long enough to understand how things operate or you are just having delusions of grandeur, because it will be a total disaster during construction that will take at least 20 years to finish, and that estimate is probably wishful thinking on my part.

If you PM me I will give you the number of a Thai general contractor that has renovated over 25 condos for me, and 100's of others for foreigners. So, he fully understands the standards he needs to meet and employees the highest quality tradesmen in each field.

I do not use him for my kitchens or other types of wood work. I use other specialist. I can also give you those numbers. These are all Thai's that specialize in their craft and speak English.

I also have without question the best AC man in Pattaya, he is also Thai and speaks excellent English.

Any funds that are wired into a Thai bank account; can also be wired back out. You just have to show them your bank book.

In addition, you can wire out up to $20,000 US anytime you want. They will ask you the reason you want to do it and your must say (Family Support).

You also must be at the bank to do the wires. It is always best to use the branch that set up your bank account. Hope that helps.

So you are saying you can pay these via the banks internet system? I did that in the US, but have not started that here....would be fantastic!

I don't think you can pay your water or electric yet, hopefully someday. But you can pay your UBC and internet over the internet.

Maybe somebody will know if a bank lets you pay your water and electric, that would be great.

Yet you have still felt the need to post on this 'joke' of a site 473 times

I see you qualify as an example of what the originator of this tread was speaking of. Good for you! By the way, I cannot wait until I get up to 473, of course it is going to take another 10 years, but I will work on it.

One possible solution is to introduce more sex related subjects

They won't let you, but they are such hypocrites, many of the Google ads are for that exact subject, which is how they make their money.

As a webmaster myself, I can tell you they could block those ads if they wanted to, but that would cut down on their income.

What a JOKE, if you ask me.

Sorry to tell you, this is not a good idea. Unless you open a separate bank account for this purpose only.

Once you move, the bank will tell that they cannot stop the billing without approval from the utility companies.

So, then you go to the utilities and fill out a few forms and they never get processed.

And you end up getting billed forever. The only way I could get out of it was by closing my bank account. Fortunate for me, it was not one of my main accounts.

They are the ones that make this place to come to and fun to read their outrageous comments. A few years ago it was much better, but now this place is so political correct it really cut down on the entertainment value. You can have a good argument or lively discussion anymore, which just su cks.

Not only does it taste bad,

It might be bad for you, but it sure does not taste bad.

I really like this place. The last time I was there I had the French Dip and Onion Rings and they were both great.

Anybody that stages a coup and then try's to burn down the capital of the country should certainly become PM. Why not?

That was funny!

I do not know why they have to ban him. Every time a good thread gets started they either close it down or throw somebody off. After all, this is an open forum and this conversation has kept me coming back for updates.

They let “Glitterman” post his rambling nonsense all the time, so why shouldn’t this guy be able to discuss the way he feels?

I really do not know what is more interesting, reading his obvious fanatical remarks about his family or the number of people defending this kind of thinking? Either way, it entertaining to read, although I must say, it is very disappointing to review some of the comments left here.

O

pened a new account already then?

That's funny! Good one!

Reality check for you, Sir..

Have you ever been to Thailand ? You clearly have no concept of how a Thai family operates.

Have you ever experienced what the OP has tried to describe ?

This is not a bleeding hearts club, it is about how Thais can often taken things for granted and how a Falang can feel used.

Yes, I have lived in Thailand for 7 years. This guy would be considered idiot in Thailand, US, Europe or the North Poll for that matter.

And anybody that has sympathy for him, I would suggest you go back read his original post. And if you still feel the same way, well I guess you now know what I think of you.

Friendship which is next door to Tuk-Com has the best prices and a large variety. Villa market on 2nd road has even a larger selection, but they are not cheap.

What are you joking? Talk about a self-centered egotistical maniac and you certainly fit the bill.

Let me see if I got this right. Your father in law has cancer and was hoping to get out of the hospital today. Instead, his condition took a turn for the worse. And you are upset because you wasted your time waiting for him. Is that the picture you are attempting to paint?

You are exactly the type of person I hope I have to NEVER deal with the rest of my life. A person who only thinks about himself and nobody else.

Your experience was similar to mine, but I have one question. Would you describe the crust as thin, medium, or thick, and did you call out a thickness and/or were you asked for a preference?

It is defiantly not thin crust, it is too thick. I would say it is closer to medium, but not quite. It is his own version which I liked.

OK, this is my review.

I ordered a large Mr. C’s Favorite (Pepperoni, Italian Sausage and Onion) and 10 Chicken Wings Medium. Including delivery charge and tip 600 Baht total.

The best pizza I ever ordered by far in Thailand.

Much better than US franchises in the US, such as Pizza Hut, Domino’s, Papa Johns, or Little Caesar.

Better than some Mom and Pop Italian Restaurants or Pizzeria’s and not as good as others you would find in the US.

Crust: Really good, but kind of missing that little extra zing some places have, missing some kind of spice, but I liked it.

Cheese: As most of you know, cheese is really expensive in Thailand. I make quite a bit of pizzas at home and always buy the most expensive Mozzarella I can find. His cheese is MUCH better.

I live in Jomtien, so I knew it would not be hot when it got here. I had a few warm slices and then heated the rest up in the oven for 5 minutes. After I heated them up the cheese became really chewy like great Mozzarella does.

Sauce: Not bad, but a little sweet for my taste.

Toppings: The Italian Sausage is defiantly imported and not something you can find here. It was really good, not great but I enjoyed it. The Pepperoni I really did not taste, I guess I am going to have to order a Pepperoni pizza to review it.

Size: The size was a 12” and not a 16” like you would expect a large pizza to be.

Will I order it again: For sure (ching ching) it will be on my eat once a week menu.

The Wings: My review would be exactly the same as Jingthing for the wings. I really like Buffalo Wings that are breaded and the sauce is made from Louisiana Hot Sauce. These were not breaded and the sauce was a homemade version which I did not particularly care for.

I will not order them again, but that does not mean they were bad, some people might like it. But it wasn’t my thing.

Again like Jingthing, about the only thing the Great American Rib Company does good anymore are their wings, since they have to be cooked fresh. Their BBQ can be a week old by the time you get it, which is why I have stopped eating there even though I love BBQ.

Overall, I would certainly try this place if you are a Pizza lover, you are not going to get any better in Pattaya, or at least I have not found any better.

Me, the girlfriend...and her girlfriend !

That was funny, good one and good for you!

electricity

is certainty not cheap in Thailand, it is 2 to 3 as expensive as most industrialized countries due to the obvious and often mentioned on this site problems with procurement in large and often bloated capital budget projects.

I said typical. I didn't say all. I stand by my assertion. If you are trying to start a fight, you're barking up the wrong tree. Next ...

Because you said "Typical" means your remark was not offensive, is that what you are attempting to imply?

Answer this; just exactly what does Americans and passports have anything at all in common with a Care4 in Thailand closing? NONE is the answer!

If the two subjects are not even remotely associated exactly why did you think it was relevant to post a remark that you knew American members of this forum would at the very least be insulted by if you were not intending on that happening?

No worries. The typical American Walmart shopper doesn't even have a passport, and never will have one. Next

I shop at Walmart, I am American and I have a passport too.

So you are wrong and owe me an apology.

Does every thread here have to somehow offer an excuse to bash America? And forget it if you defend America or say anything that might be offensive about the UK, the big bad M's tell you that your being a bad boy.

There is a reason Walmart is the largest and most successful retail chain in the history of the world. They are better than all the rest.

And Tesco sucks by the way, they are supposed to be a low cost store, which they are not. You can get almost everything they sell for the same prices at B-C or Care4. There selection is very poor when it comes to foreign goods. And the beef they sell, well you would be better off buying caned dog-food than whatever they try to push off as beef.

I hope Care4 does not leave by the way; it is my favorite large store. They have great bread and good BBQ ribs too.
