I saw this coming . The Win motorcycle rank has been littered with pricey wine bottles for months now. Have to walk around in the road to avoid tripping over them and the broken wine glasses. -

Best value car rental for 2 week uk holiday
Denim replied to kwak250's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
Doing the same thing myself with wife in September. On landing we will stay at a hotel near the airport as we arrive around 7.00 pm. I booked this with booking .com. ( Thistle hotel in Longford Village ) Have stayed here before and found it good and not expensive. Being in the village there is a pub just down the road for a late bite or a beer. Also a nice little park between hotel and pub. In the morning a good buffet overlooking the runways or a McDonalds 3 minutes away. To get there take a bus and get off 500 meters from hotel before it turns right to Harmonsworth. Walk to hotel from here. Opposite this bus stop there is a corner shop selling cheap booze and sandwiches. Booking. com also do car rentals. If you click on the link in their site it will give a comprehensive list of what cars are available for rent in that area. Various different companies with small cars around 20-25 pounds a day. Mostly manual transmission. You don't have to book with booking.com but I found the list ueseful. If you book with hertz it is possible to rent at one depot and drop off at a different one. Wife wants to see London again. So from hotel go back into the airport and either take the tube or the more fancy Elizabeth line into the city for a day or two. Everything is cashless but you can swipe on the buses with your UK debit or credit cards. I give one for the wife to use. This is no problem for 2 getting on the same bus etc if 2 different cards ( in same name ...mine ) but 2 people can not get on the bus using one swipe card. Previously my wife really enjoyed the boat ride down the Thames to Greenwich and back. Lots of historical sights plus you pass under tower bridge by the tower of London. Saw the Cutty Sark at Greenwich then walked up to the meridian through the park. Had a good Vietnames / asian buffe for lunch then coffee on the boat for the return trip. We were lucky....not many passengers. Well....a bit long but yea....car hire from Heathrow gives heaps of choice. Forget taking a car into London ....nightmare. -

They should be busing in young girls from the provinces to preserve Pattaya's image. -
People who think its getting expensive here have'nt made a trip to the mother country for a few years. When you do it really puts things in perspective.

Report Police Clamp Down on Prostitution to Protect Pattaya’s Image
Denim replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I've met plenty of guys who married bar girls and it worked out fine. Lived happy ever after. I've also met quite a few less than attractive guys who got taken to the cleaners , lost lots of money and then become mysogynists, hating ALL Thai women. Same back in the UK with guys marrying English roses. Sometimes a life long partnership sometimes an acrimonious divorce with both parties bickering over every stick and stone. If kids are involved the women usually come out better. -

What did you have for breakfast today?(2025)
Denim replied to Will B Good's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Home fried potatoes ( last nights left overs ) with onion and diced bacon on wholemeal bread topped with 2 eggs and a little melted chedder. If you like the tops of your eggs cooked just add a teaspoon of water into the frying pan then put a lid on top. The steam then cooks them.
