eefoo

Oops, the spelling and grammar police are on patrol.

Only patrolling the Pattaya-bashing threads though ..

This will more than likely stir up a can of worm's. But what do you expect in Pattaya. As you've got to be brain dead to go the in the first place.

Can't argue with that.

I can argue with that. At the very least I can spell 'there' I also know the difference between a plural and a genitive apostrophe. So who's the brain dead one?

Work in Middle East - Live in Thailand. Last went to the country I came from, England, exactly 20 years ago this month. Furthest west I've been since then is Bahrein on a flight transfer. Don't miss it, don't really intend to go back. I have no family there though, so I've no real need or incentive to go.

Does anyone know if the Suriya Music shop on Sukhumvit Road, (Pattaya) is still in business? It's website has been suspended for lack of payment!

There's a music shop on Sukhumvit Rd., opposite the top of Thepprasit. I was in there the other day and they had a selection of Thai instruments in an upstairs balcony section.

The shop on Sukhumvit, opposite the top of Thepprasit IS Suriya Music. They've been there for years, and seem to be going strong. If they don't have what you want, I would imagine they can help you find one.

Looks suspiciously like the one posted by 'wormfarmer' not two days ago ....

AA has now made another post and she's still at 6 posts, newbie, advanced member status. <deleted> is going on here??

<deleted>?????

Anyway - how is AltumAngel now a 'Newbie' with 6 posts?

Didn't see it coming. That's hilarious!! Thanks Crossy.

Being so close to Walking Street, they won't have far to walk if they want a Ho' Down

But all the Ho's are going, apparently ......

I should do. I have lived here long enough to see Pattaya turned from a pleasant seaside resort into a sex super market.

That would have to be pre-vietnam war????????

My thoughts exactly.

He been here long time.

I know that in '75 there were 2 hotels, and a couple of bars in Pattaya. Few if any girls were available, that all happened later.

Get yoiur facts straight.

There we have it - 'gamini' must have been here around 1975

Look legit to me !!

Great thread - thanks for the laugh.

Stop complaining ,if you dont like it go back to your home land

Maybe you should put some time aside to find a sense of humour

Carmine - That WAS a sense of humour !!

I'm not too sure about the "few minutes walk to walking street" either. Depends on your personal definition of 'few' I would think!!

Cute !!!

Do people ever really click on internet ads?

Apparently they do. As strange as it may seem to us, there are a zillion idiots out there who do; and the ad companies are making a mint out of it

ice rink? woohoo! gotta be some hockey players here, right?

Surely you only need grass to play hockey?

Not forgetting, of course, that they are in a taxi queue. If they are in a large queue, a small fare will put them to the back again and they might not get another fare for ages. The one who is quoting the price is at the front of the queue, and he (or she) might not want to go a Km down the road for a few baht when the next customer 'might' want to go to Maprachan. It's a gamble they take.

Here's my two pennorth. The OP's title said it all - "Hare Brained Idea"

(Edited for formatting)

Quote "-joke 10-30 baht"

You can get jokes for free on the interweb. That's a bargain!!

In a word? No. Surely one has to get divorced in the same country as that marriage is legally recognised in?

If you think the price is high in Pattaya, check out the prices for Madame Tussauds in London, OMG!!!!

And Thais pay a third more than Brits ???

So he was arrested for carrying sugar or some other form of white powder, not being drugs.

I wonder what the charge will be

Not sure if it's the same in Thailand but in the UK the charge would be 'going equipped to cheat' after the so-called drugs had been tested at a lab.

So, it's illegal to carry legally allowed substances in UK? <deleted> - I'm glad I left that place.

Just as an afterthought - do girls get arrested for 'going equipped to be a prostitute' ??

Dont mind if its an urban myth..its just great.

I don't mind the origin either, eek. As a joke it's funny, and I appreciate it. Unfortunately, there are too many things passing through the interweb these days that have "true story" stamped all over them, that aren't in fact, true stories. A joke doesn't become any funnier with the addition of the false title of 'This actually happened', with made up names and places. Let the joke stand by itself.

PS - your gran sounds like she was a good one. I had one of those.

Are the cylinders color coded so we can tell what gas they are using? The ones I've seen are tall brown looking cylinders like you see in a wedding shop, but can't recall the color round the top.

* Acetylene cylinders are maroon.

* Argon cylinders have a dark green shoulder.

* Carbon dioxide cylinders have a grey shoulder.

* Chlorine cylinders have a yellow shoulder.

* Helium cylinders have a brown shoulder.

* Hydrogen cylinders have a red shoulder.

* Nitrous oxide cylinders have a blue shoulder.

* Nitrogen cylinders have a black shoulder. (Previously grey, in the United Kingdom).

* Oxygen cylinders have a white shoulder. (Previously black, in the United Kingdom).

No matter what colour their shoulders are, any tall, brown looking cylinders you may find in a wedding shop just aren't girls

Not on topic - but I couldn't resist

In Saudi Arabia they cut off the right hand of a thief.

Why would Saudi Arabia have anything to do with an Iranian caught stealing in Thailand?
