Bad situation and soon homeless.
As this thread was started on the 25th December. It reminds me of a Christmas tale of there being no room at the inn for Mary & Joseph. They all had to doss in a stable. I do hope this has a happy ending.

TAT Warns of Revenue Drop Amid Border Conflict and Flooding
What about the loss of life and livelihood on the border area? What about the loss of property and businesses in the floods? No concern for the little people. The main concern for the TAT is lost revenue. No heart and no surprise.

Please Do Not Use The Street and Storefronts As A Toilet
In Pattaya .... it's decisions decisions..... use the hole-in-the-floor at a hole-in-the-wall pub for 10 baht, or use one of the scores of public conveniences provided for tourists by the awfully rich TAT.

British Tourists Nabbed with 33kg of Cannabis at Valencia Airport
I don't understand this. Spain is a supermarket for drugs. Cannabis is practically decriminalised. Maybe their moronic masterplan was to then go to the UK? Again, easily bought as there are more sellers than buyers of home grow at approx £250/ounce?

Positive post about Thai people.
Well here's a positive spin you never hear of.......I accidently left my wallet containing 20 million baht in the back of a taxi. The driver found me and returned it all intact.

Causes of High Electricity Bills in Thai Apartments
The typical apartment owner charges the tenant 10 to12 baht per unit, when the government price per unit is approximately 5 baht. Why would there be any incentive for the owner to help save electric?

Brits In Pattaya
I need to know where to find the best British pub to get a decent English breakfast and dinner!! Anyone? Witherspoons would be the best in Buakhow for English food. You are even allowed to smoke ciggies whilst you eat your breaky. And ...the tobacco smoke can be shared equally with the person dining next to you. Who cares if they don't even smoke!! All turbo boosted by the surrounding wall fans. What's not to like?

The Mall Group plans to extend opening hours to promote Thailand tourism
it would be a great benefit to visitors and locals alike if businesses opened earlier instead of later. Some people get up and go early in the morning. Not everyone wants stays up all night.

Old men drinking a beer at breakfast time in bars along beach road pattaya.
Often I sit at a random beach road bar drinking a cold beer in the morning. The wife will collect me when she is done at the supermarket. I don't have that cliché 1000 yard stare, but I do watch the ladies strutting their funky stuff as they walk past. Now as a pensioner, I can reflect on a 30yr oil career, two luk-khruengs at university and an easy, Thai marriage of 24 years.... so far. Sooo...Not as sad as certain posters we see here in the Pattaya forum. btw What's the going rate for posting generic drivel 20 times a day?
