  1. And my FIL, the 4 people in the house at the back and the one who couldn't go for a drink the other night cause he's copped for it. I like to think that we've seen the worst of it, but I've thought that before.
  2. No help to you bill but for 4 days I can receive or send nothing on messenger. Moderate pain only.
  3. If it is of interest I understand there are a number of BKK bars stocking SMZ, Chequers Soi 4, Sportsman Soi 13 and the Robin Hood by Phrom Pong BTS. What prices they will be charging is another matter, I should find out late in May.
  4. If you're transferring 268 USD like another poster, does it really make a difference.?
  5. 1,000 beers in 2 years.? 10 a week.? 10 small bottles a week should not turn anyone into a killer, nor 10 large ones come to that.
  6. 4 or 5 years ago the actual temperature was 43, what was the real feel then.? But the 43 then didn't bother me as much as the 37 or whatever does now. Possibly I ve crossed the line from old git to......... Whatever.
  7. I had some the other day and it was very nice. But I keep reading that it is bad for you. Or it can be.
  8. Not splitting hairs, but in the interests of uplifting conversation I would query there are "tons of good condos" for less than 6,000 a month in Pattaya. In the depths of the Covid days you could get someone down to that but I doubt that "good" and "tons of them" apply much. Would also depend on your definition of room and condo 200 a night would be pretty much the bottom of the pile,I wonder if the monthly, discounted rate would apply. I see scuba has already made a liar of me, ???? but Unixx is a bit out of town and that rate at the base won't last too long.
  9. Perhaps those people are happy and content with their lives. A cheap room leaves them more money for food, drink, women and retirement extensions.
  10. I have been in the Crown Royal a number of times, but not for a few months now. Still a lovely old bar, but lacking customers. Don't know how they survive. The Crystal Palace and a couple of others opposite are still going as is The Old Other Office in the next Soi. Not many customers in any of them. Yes, desperately sad about the Madrid, with that and Jools gone, Bangers ain't the same. I know you said Lumpini and Silom but Suk Soi 22 might be worth a try. A bit calmer could be Soi 33/1 behind the Robin Hood.
  11. How many years since you were there F.? I think it is 8 years for me and I don't remember any of that, obviously I was there before the foreigner invasion.
  12. No I will pronounce it the same way I heard everybody pronounce it 25 years ago. (here, Pattaya and Bangkok) However I will make a point of advising all non-conforming Thais that they'd better start shaping up or else. Even more annoying than your pronunciation is "ferrang".
  13. We must find other ways to offend him. I wonder if he's a
  14. In my part of the central plain it is pronounced falang.
  15. Really.? All of it.? Including all the hotels and restaurants, the good properties, all the dark side.? I never realised, but you obviously know all about it.
  16. You are the one who said sweaty sock is offensive. Now answer re weegee.
  17. Nero (hope you excuse the familiarity) is that pronounced man or mun.? Or other.?
  18. No it's just rhyming slang. What about weegee. Never seen it written down hope that's correct.
  19. Many of the know-nothings do, the ones who speak of PatTAYa or PattEYEa.
  20. Wow, you're a living, flesh and blood version of the Marlborough Man. Or someone like that.
