    I tried to pay a water bill late that arrived while I was away on holiday. A couple of 7-11s tried & failed but the assistant in the soi 9 Kao Noi shop phoned the office and sorted it.

    I've applied for a job writing amusing articles for Aseannow so people don't have to read posts like these. Despite four emails + help from a mod, I've had no reply.

    [email protected]. I think they only do BKK run? I've used them & couldn't believe how good/safe/cheap the journey was.

    25 National Holidays + regional ones. https://www.officeholidays.com/countries/thailand/2022 Tomorrow is Rama 9's Birthday - I think he earned it.

    MOT - PATTAYA

    mikebell replied to Pmbkk's topic in Pattaya

    I deplore the place. They had a grumpy farang hater as the greeter. Thais were allowed in 1st & farangs later IF there was any spaces left. I'm paying a company on my next birthday.

    There's a company touting for business along the queue outside Pattaya Immigration. I'm using them next year; the test centre 30 kms out of town is a disaster area.

    Agreed - the young conscripts in the Army/Navy take care of their officers' gardens/houses without pay. It teaches them to know their place and obey their 'betters'.

    It's the loss of face that Thais can't face.

    Finnair was the only company NOT serving free alcohol (at prices roughly the same as uranium). I checked this later. My complaints earned me some points in their club which I have already withdrawn my membership from. I sat for 14 hours with my overhead bag between my knees because there was no room. Aged 80 this left me with severe cramp.

    Each someone has friends and relatives who are thinking about visiting you until you warn them. Each negative story continually alienates the ex-pats who will warn travellers not to stroke wild dogs and/or breathe.

    Have the Indians shared the name of their Insurance broker with the Russians?

    negotiate protection fees.

    Meanwhile Pattaya Plod were raiding more than 10 restaurants for serving beer after hours.

    fleecing.

    I paid £1100 with Finnair and received the most abysmal service I have ever endured in over 65 years of air travel.

    Is this the Mafia one based in Phuket airport?
  18. mikebell
    He only ever travels on roads closed to other users in A/C comfort with a copper on duty every ten metres. It's not safe to even walk on Thai roads let alone run if you want to remain rabies-free.

    I thought tourists came here to see the temples? I would imagine it would matter seriously to tourists who return home with rabies or lung cancer.

    In the newspapers which is from where many tourists form an impression of countries they'd like to visit.

    How many tourists like packs of wild dogs; bent cops; Chinese Triads; carcinogenic air; plastic pollution?
  22. mikebell
    Which is tarnished every day by men in brown uniforms.

    On one of my honeymoons in Mexico my new bride went for a swim in the Pacific an hour after landing; her wedding ring fell off. I borrowed a metal detector & searched for hours in vain. The police report was sufficient to ensure our insurance paid for a better ring.

    Bar - open till 4am.

    Does the sick mother explanation carry the same weight with Plod as the other pathetic excuses used to excuse criminality: wet roads; brakes failed; micro-sleep?
