NONG CHOK

Thanks for that info Georgealbert but seriously when are the meters and pipes checked? If they were serious they wouldn't use PVC pipes. They even use galvanised piping here too which is prone to electrosis.

More to the point Bob, they're as soft as pensioners turds.

Hi there, I just picked up my water account for April. While I was checking the amount I noticed a 50 baht extra which is for the water meter maintenance. I was a Plumber in all my working days and I've never heard of that happening before. Since when do we pay a maintenance fee on something we don't own? It's not the 50 baht that concerns me, it's if this fee is charged on every water meter in Pattaya, who pockets the money? May I add is this fee monthly or annual?

Give the bitch a slap, there's times when Thai birds lose their status as women, especially when drunk or drugged up.

I'm not disagreeing with you but the party that can rouse up 51 % or better are the winners even by dubious means. I'm sure Teflon Tony would've been sending his instructions from overseas. I think that the MFP members are rather inexperienced in Thai politics they need to recruit some serious political head kickers like the other major parties have. In saying that I may I repeat, if the MFP received 100 % of the votes at the election, would they be Government now? Any person who lives in Thailand believes this are dreaming.

Given her age, she must have real problems if a 15 yo can get her jealous.

How much is 2 months rent may ask? Live there as long as you can before he asks you for the next months rent. Make sure you tell nobody of your intentions and do a fly by night when it suits you. I had to put up with this $hit many years ago. So I bit the bullet and bought a condo, the rent I've saved is more than what I paid for the condo. I have a Thai wife so at least it's hers if I were to pass on before her.

Unfortunately the MFP gained the most votes but didn't win the election. They needed 51 % of the votes to form Government. That's when the dirty deals were done behind closed doors and PTP got the numbers and are now in charge. It begs one question, what if MFP got 51 % of the votes required would they now be the Government? I'm sure they wouldn't be as the EC etc would implement ways to prevent this.

I walk around the Wongamat area for 2 hours every morning starting at 6.30 am and tour buses have taken over the area. Most are driven by guys with a Thai motorcycle mentality. Every road law is broken, exceeding 40 kmph, parking where there's a red and white painted curb. Park or over take where there's double lines. Also never reduce speed let alone stop when they come to a stop sign. I still wonder why people need a drivers license in Thailand considering how these cretins drive.

I was a wake up to their games years ago. Since then I've used DTAC around 1,800 baht per year for unlimited WIFI and 100 baht of free phone calls every month. The prices some companies show online are only a bluff, when you put it to them the price comes down. Most short term farangs just pay and don't queery the price because it's still much cheaper than the countries they came from. If anyone decides to follow my advice buy your SIM card online from Lazada etc don't buy it from the provider. You will save 400 baht plus.

Fox News is owned by a grub who only employs grubs who never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Now that all the accusations made by the USA and China have quietened down I believe it was the greatest scam of all time by the pharmaceutical companies. The Covid virus caught everyone by surprise, so how was the Covid virus vaccine readilly so soon.

Next thing there will be a nightly tax for farangs sleeping with their legally married Thai wives. If there's any extra hanky panky picked up by spy cams there will be an additional surcharge.

What's the best day to go to the DLT office in Pattaya?

As I go for my long daily walk every morning in that area I see every thing that's going on. It appears that work has started on the extra large land behind Space Hotel. Yesterday when I walked past the open gates they were digging the foundations and trucks were removing the soil. Now tour buses have taken over that area and many are driven by people who have a Thai motor bike riders mentality.

One other point worth considering is that the old Best Supermarket and the Peace Resort may have been built on long term leased land.

Everywhere in Naklua is being knocked down to build top of the range hotels, especially on the Wongamart side of Naklua Road. I'd say Best Supermarket along with the Peace Hotel were forced to go. Maybe the offer was to good to knock back. Give them a month as it's been one hell of a job to move all their stock. I'm sure things will change once things are settled down. One up side is the new shop has a superb alcohol section.

I still don't understand the Pattaya amphurs thinking, give the water throwers a designated throwing area on vacant land. At least if you enter there you do so at your on risk. I don't care what others do as long as they don't disrupt what I'm doing. I'm sure businesses would be all for that idea.

It's the main reason I use an agent, why can't Immigration get some computer science people to set up and maintain their online services. Probably a case of nepotism, which is rife in Government departments in Thailand. It's a case of not what you know but who you know.

There is a car park there but it's hard to say how many cars it will hold.

Its going to be replaced by another multi story hotel complex similar to the Space Hotel.

Hi there, I walked past the new Best Supermarket this morning, I noticed that it officially opens tomorrow Sat April 20. It's opposite the Susco servo between Sois 25 and 27, It's over the road from where I live. So that will be less stress on my old legs.

Where I come from in Australia we call these situations Jews stock takes. There's a large coffee shop around the corner from me in Naklua Road where a fire ocurred and since the rebuild it's totally deserted. Prior to the fire it was a very busy shop.

I live in a soi 50 metres from Naklua Road just near the new Best Super Market. I noticed this morning at 6am when I go for my normal 2 hours walk that the vendors were getting all set up. I had to walk on the road as all the footpaths were blocked even little kids sleeping on the footpaths and others sleeping in tents. Now it's 5.30 pm here and it's been out of control all day. When will they bring in designated water throwing zones like many places up North have?

A few days ago I had to go shopping in Tukcom, on my return home I got on a baht bus and travelled the full distance of Second Road. As the traffic was very slow people on baht buses were subjected to a deluge of water from passing pick up trucks every time they had to stop. Surely they should ban water being thrown from the back of vehicles. As I've suggested many times unless these morons can tone it down heaps, the local Amphur should have designated water throwing areas. It would be much easier to patrol and the BIB's may well be surprised who they meet there.
