They eat a lot of skeeters so be careful what you wish for.

so you take a finger to a gun fight? great idea...lets see how that works out.

Baht bus is the perfect vehicle to transport people around Pattaya. It is convenient easy and cheap. Of course there are occasional accidents just like there are with massive 50 pax buses and public transport in every city in the world. But a few people get hurt here and some are calling for them to be banned? Just try and imagine what a giant mess it would be if baht buses were all replaced with big buses that could not even fit into many pattaya streets that are served well by the baht bus. Or how about massive ugly view blocking slabs of concrete with a bkk type bts system and loads of stairs running along beach road trapping lots of wonderful fumes below and people falling down the stairs or escalators? Maybe replace the baht buses with a few thousand more taxis and cars and motorbikes?

and replaced with What?

Or check VT6 which by most any measure is the best location in all of pattaya if you want convenience. It is a well built well run building and many people are paying top $$ to stay there especially in peak months. Like most any condo many units are highly upgraded by their owners while some are not so upgraded. Of course anyone can likely find a cheaper, newer place in Jomtien or Naklua or ? but you will not find a better location that literally is next door to central mall on one side, second road on one side, beachfront on the other side, and all of soi buahkow on the other side with baht buses on your front or back door steps. For some it is perhaps too busy but if you like convenience I have yet to see anyplace that can compete. Haters and whiners love to bash places that they know little to nothing about.

IF you can find a seat and don't mind standing in long lines during peak times.

I do think that most thai gals are smart enough to tell the man they are with regardless that his is just the right size or is if anything very big....just as she is likely to tell you that the thai guy in all those pics who visits her is her brother, the buffalo is sick, and a few other porkies.

I don't spend a lot of time in Tuk Com .

Supply and demand also has a lot to do with the price of a cheap charlies "steak" and thailand does not have a huge supply of local beef....just up the road from charlies there is a sign advertising a steak for 999 baht for an aussie imported beef.

ok

The first clue regarding cheap beef is to notice when you go around rural thailand is how few cows you will see. Eat chicken and pork and seafood that is plentiful and local like Thais do and overall you can expect a better meal at a low price.

Are there any stalls that don't have a thai guy working there?

wow sorry that describing absurdly loud music on one morning at 6;30 am seems to rattle so many cages and call for me to stop whining....i have lived here a long time, in a condo and not a hotel, (and my room does face away from beach which means the music was being played exceptionally loud) and certainly understand that it will be noisy on new years eve and other big events none of which start at 6;30 am.......but 6;30 to 8 am with hardly anyone on the beach and a few guys decide to test the massive speakers at the crack of dawn for their amusement is not exactly normal. In fact this is first time ever that i remember for that.
