Pattaya Bolt Driver Filmed Kicking Tourist in Street
Most Bolt drivers are professional but there are always the few bad apples. We had a bad tempered guy in Jomtien who drove dangerously and was more interested in having an argument on his phone than driving. Almost hit pedestrians and cars whilst passing Rompo market. Became angry when I said be careful. My girlfriend reported him, 99% are great its just that tiny percentage of crazies that you need to worry about.

There is a youtube channel called Lei's real talk. Its a good source of information about China. She did a video on the scam centres. She said that they were funded by China, and had many functions. Money laundering, scamming, military and organ harvesting. They are supposed to provide a large portion of the Cambodian economy.

Thailand Shifts Tourism Strategy Toward Value Over Volume
Or do they ever do any research before making these plans ? Could they not talk to their target audiences ? It always seems like pie in the sky.

Wooden bed slats
Has anyone in the pattaya area needed to replace wooden bed slats ? 760 x 56 x 10 mm If you know a place that I can buy them I would be obliged. I'm 100kg and they don't seem to be strong enough. The existing ones are made from weak laminated ply wood. Cheers.

159bt Breakfast at Cheap Charlie's and a look at 99bt Nickys
Yes food seems OK for the price but they don't seem to be able to cook eggs. Rushing too much I suppose. Just need to concentrate on service and push the waiting staff to be polite and offer the odd smile.

Was that in Jomtien soi 5 ? Those waitresses in cheap charlies there are miserable. Lousy service.

Condo , no water 2 days
I think they use roof based tanks, pumps are used to elevate the water and so positive pressure is provided to all floors. But if tanks or pumps are impaired there does not appear to be an alternative, at least at my condo.

Condo , no water 2 days
It was pointless complaining to either the agent or the local condo management. They either just delayed, evaded the truth or just told lies. During tank cleaning it appears that pumps were damaged, hence the two day fix. It was the cleaning ladies that actually told us that via my thai partner. The actual project management was appalling with no fall back planned in case of error. No thought was given to the customer impact. My feeling is that I would hate to have bought a place here even though I have rented for a year.

Yes I'm talking to the agent.

Swimming pool, down stairs showers and bottled water. And of course down stairs toilets.

Condo , no water 2 days
Yes I'm renting. I've already contacted the agent. But I have not expressed breach of contact yet. I'm just amazed by the lack on concern that staff show.

Condo , no water 2 days
My condo, in jomtien, started a roof tank cleaning project. We have had no water for two days. They seem very relaxed about the issue. There is no sense of urgency. They indicate that there are broken pumps and that water levels are not sufficient. It seems like poor project management.

Tuk tuk prices ?
I heard that at some point tuk prices would change from 10 to 20 baht. I ask because a tuk tuk from pattaya to jom tien just asked for 20 baht. ( from near South pattaya Road to jomtien soi 14/1. ) I don't mind paying, I just wonder what the actual price should be.

Cheap Charlies blocked my review
Yes that was my impression. Very moody waitresses. Food is average but they need to pay attention to detail. Food quality / delivery is poor.

Where to buy Jeans/Shirts etc. farang size?
I use Mike's mall but there are many fakes there. I've used shoppee but although prices and quality is ok sizes vary. I.e. XL from one supplier fits whilst another is too small.
