brakes and tires are cheap, think of the rest! clutches, flywheels, gearboxes, engines!

rental is the best way to go.

there's a place called taki racing i think, they hire out their formula renault open wheel cars, not too cheap, but well worth it.

no fun spoiled, in case of accident, tow the car off the track and down the road. then call insurance

it's a definite time saver that's for sure, i'd say a good 25 minutes (usually a 30 min drive thru traffic, now only 5 mins)...

one of the best things pattaya's ever done IMO!

could try on the rethai map to find something http://www.rethai.com/listings/maps?location=pattaya

I think view talay 2 is a bit on the cheap side, along with the apartments near the night markets on theppresit.

also, if you work on theppresit, if you drive towards the beach - just as you come down the small hill past the petrol stations, there's a crossroad on the corner of the new development, opposite the honda bike shop - used to be a kart track, hang a right there, there's lots of rooms for rent down that road, its a long strip, living along that strip would be easy access to most areas in pattaya...

up and down sukhumvit there's a fair few gym gear places i've seen.

one on the corner of pattaya tai and sukhumvit comes to mind, i think there's 1-2 on threppersit road as well. the sports shops on the corner of theppresit has ropes and what not, and the sports shops in big c / central also have similar, but not sure on the free weights.

check the local websites, http://www.rethai.com/ has a couple, agencies around might have more but it's a bit low for them...

best bet is to drive around and find the small 'condo / apartment' buildings (like 4-5 story high shophouses).

A friend of mine rented a half decent clean place on Soi Boukao for 6k a month... only problem with places like that is they put on 100%+ for electricity (so if you use 2k a month, they'll bill you 4k).

on the darksite (East of the train tracks) you can get a small house (1-2 room) for 4-6k unfurnished, 6-8 furnished, but the upside is electric and water you pay the government direct, so the extra 1-2k you'd be saving in electricity you're paying in rent.

try to find a place where you can pay electric gov direct, otherwise they'll charge you whatever they want for it. even make up fake numbers to make the extra money.

anyone got an exact location of this development?

according to the rethai.com listing data, house and condo prices are both on a slightly downward trend...

we practice there (nova fc) every tuesday&thursday 6-8pm.

good pitch, they need a net above the goals tho, pain the ass getting the balls out from behind the net...

Yeah view talay 5 when i was there a few years back had power outages every month. some for a few minutes, some lasted all day. have a look on www.rethai.com for something in the VT6 area

Yeah i'm also keen on supersports, i want to see the f1 and gp2 sessions, but only super sport broadcast the practice sessions and the gp2.

does anyone know any other providers that offer motorsport like supersport do?

i've always thought the roads of koh chang would be a great rally circuit

i like the open air concept.

i think their issue is the lack of drawcards.

cinema, villa market, and a gym are a good foundation, need need to fill that 2nd floor with restaurants or something that people will go out of their way to get to.

there's just not enough reason to go there over another place.

as much as i like the open air style, i think the design is bad, the actual shopfronts are hidden way at the back and around corners, could have been a better design and still keeping in with open air.

Australia does it well, some of the biggest shopping centers in australia are all 70/30 open air and are very popular.

but who knows eh? everyone's an expert...

any company will take about 2 weeks to install and activate.

3bb installed us (a few times in a few locations) in 2-4 days, and activated in 10. (2 working weeks)

all good, i played last night, good fun, feeling it now though...

erm you sure? anytime i click that i get some newpaper pdf with S&M porn

you clearly have too much time on your hands

'new website coming soon'

awesome, take down a website with content, to show nothing. while you build something else

both are down for me.

would seem the hosting or domain have not been paid for and have expired.

beach side... i'd much rather fend of working girls than indian tailors grabbing my arms and saying g'day mate... <deleted>.

3 dedicated servers in bkk - large traffic website - not a home pc - hence why we're taking it a bit seriously.

all good, didn't find a website, but a couple of phone numbers. all sorted now

there's a market off naklua road?

anyone know the url of the thai cyber police - for internet crime?

had a substantial hacking attempt from a maxnet user and looking to peruse it. see what they can do.

thx

yeah the 5 mins of fame are running low, but there's always new people coming to pattaya and new people to discover him, so a new 5 mins of fame will come back around soon enough...

on the upside, this post unlike the other ramblings was at least half entertaining, i don't mind a bit of sarcasm in the morning

they are probably private hiring because they dont know how the whole baht bus system works, just get on and go straight, get off at the next intersection and get the next bus going in your direction.

they probably ask the driver can they goto X location, rather than taking his 10b per person he says yeah, i'll take you there, bills them 200b.
