Speak to the people in the "Safe T Cut" shop on Sukhumvit road, they have systems to protect whole houses as well as individual protectors, dont know how good they are or costs?

Thanks, whereabouts on Suk is that shop, and which side?

It was on the northbound side just after the Esso station, (between Klang and Nua) , somebody told me it moved to the opposite side though?? have not looked recently?

There is a pool shop on 3rd. rd. about 200 mtrs. south of the traffic lights on Pattaya Nua, east side of rd.

I bought 20 kgs. chlorine granules there a year ago for 2200 baht.

2 weeks ago I bought another 20 kgs. from the new pool shop on soi Siam Country Club rd. near Route CC. again 2200 baht.

If you find it cheaper elsewhere, please let me know?

Home & Pool.

Syd, why dont you send the missus to cooking school where she could learn how to create the perfect sausage and prepare the finest english breakfast?

She could then serve your culinary needs daily and you wouldnt have to clutter up the Pattaya forum with your ongoing quest for both of the above!!!

which of course is run by the English. They have given thereselves titles, Chairman, Secretary, Vice president etc , and over the last 6 months have wandered around their ' European community, trying to enforce rules and regulations to people who live here.

Sounds similar to why i decided to leave Scotland!

Why dont you go to Pattaya RC near the Euro Club off Chaiyapruek 2, they race boats and cars there, the last time i was there they had some smart helicopters in their shop, if they no longer stock i am sure some of the enthusiasts could point you in the right direction.

Or, there is an RC shop on Sukhumvit about 200m up from Boonthavorn on the same side, next to the Viryha Insurance shop, you will see a small plane hanging outside.

Sorry, forgot to add that there used to be a shop supplying the better brands of washer up on Soi Pothisan, big sign outside, not sure if it is still there though?

You pretty much answered your own query in your opening post..."too cheap to last any time". Most of the "cheap" ones have sealed motor/pump units inside and cannot be maintained, once they play up its in the bin time, ok for annual cleanup and light use but not so good for regular daily use!

If you want one that will last and stand more use, then Karcher, Dibo ,Kew, Wap, Makita, but you will pay a LOT more for these brands. You get some made up units too ie: Motor and pump on a base frame, some of these are ok, look for Speck or CAT pump ends.

Best for sandwash cleaning is a hot pressure washer of the brands above, but again huge increased cost.

Good luck!

That Baywatch is excellent for food, but be warned - watch yourself with the drinks prices, OUCH!!

Got any pictures???

Ive seen a few farang over the years helping their missus in the markets, but not a mobile one as yet!

Two for ten baht, one big and one small, in the market on Siam Country Club road last night, on the stall where everything is 10 Baht!

I've read on the papers that lately has been some troubles in thailand... Unfortuantely news were pretty generic so I don't know for sure why people are protesting and what will happen, but I read that many riots and shootings were involved...

I'm coming this august to train in Muay Thai but I'm worried about the bangkok airport being blocked again or me getting shot by cops/demostrants, since our local embassy forbid to travel to thailand for now....

Do you think that my embassy concerns are founded, or shall I come to thailand without problem?

Its ok now but that may change in the future.... and very like it will......

Calm before a possible storm..........but don't let that stop you from coming here. I would, however, avoid Bangkok and Pattaya-Jomtien and head for Phuket.

You probably know it is hotter than hel_l here right now. Why a person would want to travel to Thailand now is a mystery to me. Nov. 15 to Jan. 15 is a good time to be here.......good weather.

But maybe you live in northern Siberia.......in which case it makes sense

Phuket??? Place to go for sure if you are into some SERIOUS price gouging!! The taxi fares in Phuket make the Pattaya / Jomtien baht bus co-operative look like true darlings!

Its only 20 baht.

Have you tried talking to whomever is in charge to convince them that you should not pay the increased rate?

Of course, but the answer is still the same. By the way, I should point out that the management told me the pool concession has been outsourced to some guy with no connection to the place. Why, you tell me.

This is quite common practice, but at least they usually wait untill the development is sold out!

He said this group of plotters was employing "assassins" to hunt down those they consider their enemies.

Not much to fear there then if their recent attempts are anything to go by, they couldn't hit a cow on the arse with a shovel!!!

What drunk is going to stop at midnight? You are fair game until about 6 AM!

They will roam around all night and head to Bang Saray in the wee hours where it all kicks off tommorow - be warned if heading near there!!

I want to start going swimming but how safe is the water? Have tests been done to show its unhealthy?

Don't try Jomtien not only is the water brown it stinks of diesel

And it is still far cleaner than Pattaya beach!

0.228 - Bobbing Bobcat!!

I shall persist though!

Seven Eleven's between the Go Go's!!

Why don't we do it in the west?

Probably because to most westerners the idea of having an infant on a motorbike is absolute insanity. No way would it be legal in any western country either.

Fair comment, however, their thinking must change when they have been in Thailand for a while, i have seen many westerners in Pattaya with the infant onboard!

Seeing all these police on TV here with all their ribbons and medals attached to their uniforms, one has to wonder how they actually earned them, must be for standing idly by and doing nothing!!!

I suspect they use the American system where you get a little ribbon for all sorts of things like the scouts/guides do: boot lace tying, handling a rifle without killing a senior officer, surviving the guy next to you's rifle drill, efficient nasal excavation while on guard duty, tea-money collection merit etc...

That would definately explain such a colourful array!!

I was not dreaming then!

I saw cars coming into the Tesco car park this morning with the tell tale signs of water splashed white powder!!

I thought i had slept an extra day!!

Little or no effect here, other than having to "clarify" the situation to friends and relatives overseas, the media in the west with it's piss poor reporting blew the whole thing out of proportion, their emphasis on reporting that the "delegates had to be airlifted out" was diabolical, the reason the Exhibtion centre has a Helipad is for easy shuttle to and from the airports.!

Life is good in Jomtien!!

I heard on the BBC that there were 80,000 army and police drafted into Pattaya for the summit. 80,000 and the protesters just walked in. Unbelievable! Somebody should be made to pay for the embarressment that showed Thailand to be totally incompetent. Surely the safety of the attending leaders deserved better ?

8000 was the figure given here.

Seeing all these police on TV here with all their ribbons and medals attached to their uniforms, one has to wonder how they actually earned them, must be for standing idly by and doing nothing!!!

How about an empty 3 storey shophouse on Chaiyapruek 2, 12,000 / month, no key money? PM me if you are interested.
