  1. 50 years in th UK is enough for anybody.Hope i have 50 years here,so another 44 left lol.I live in Pattaya and things do change for the good and the bad,the same as in UK.One day i will get fed up of Pattaya and move to somewhere quieter,but at the moment i have so many good friends living here and visiting long term,my phone is always busy.

  2. The same problem is in the UK.When i went home for a holiday,me and a mate was walking down the road and a car went by and threw a huge pile of rubbish out,nearly hitting me.As i was shouting at them,my mate said its a new craze to throw rubbish at some body walking past.Next time my new craze will be throwing big hard objects at cars that thro rubbish at ME.

  3. when Thais move to USA we dont black mail them for money to live there or are u just daft?

    Who is blackmailing you for money.The money is yours and stays in your account until you spend it,the immigration are only asking for proof that you have sufficient funds to live here,just like if you take your thai wife to USA or UK.

    If you havent got 400,000 baht you have a big problem mate.

  4. I had a visit a couple of days ago from a young Policeman who informed (T/wife) every ferang in/or around Surin will be checked up on. I provided him with fingerprints and a photo after the 2 page Thai form was completed by him.

    The blue ink has gone now and I hope that doesn't mean I will be deported :)

    I confirm what you say. I and other expat friends around Sangkha (Surin) have all been visited or had to go to the local police station.

    I was told that the reason for doing this - as another member mentioned - was for identification purposes should there be an accidental death. As well as the photo and fingerprints, he also asked me for:-

    any personal indentification features in case of say death by fire by which relatives you confirm it's me

    &

    a 'fee' of B100 (which some refused!).

    On the light hearted side, 1 friend refused to give his finger prints so to save face the policeman put friend's wife's finger prints on the form instead!!!

    Scared of the big brother concept od is he doing something illegal.About time Thailand got their act in order and started to have a data base of all tourists and expats just in case something happens.Why do people panic so much when the country is trying to get more professional like most countries.

  5. If you were in any country in the world and decided to spend all your money then start moaning,nothing would be done.Your house possibly doesnt belong to you,if it does then sell it and get a rented place,mai pen rai.

    So what rules have changed that much in Thailand to make us all complain this much.I dont see some rule changes have affected me,as i came with enough money to be secure all my early retirement.It takes balls to leave the uk when you know you can be taken care of even if you are skint,but if one plans well this country is fine.I have allowed for 5% inflation per annum and worked out my money when i get my pension/serps,and some savings that mature,shit i will be rich when i am old hehehehehe.

  6. On all my trips to LOS I had avoided Pattaya up until now,heeding all warnings of how terrible it was there but this time I decided that I had to see for myself...and this is what I found...

    I booked into a very nice hotel called Jomtien Palm Beach,it had huge rooms and was full of holidaying Russian couples.My friend and I booked separate but adjoining rooms,the swimming pool on the front terrace was absolutely enormous.

    We found some very nice restaurants along the promenade at Jomtien beach,good food and reasonably priced.Along Walking Street we discovered even better seafood,the Lobster House became a firm favourite of ours,excellent Thermidor and a fine selection of red wines from around the World to accompany.

    But something wasn't quite right,there was something in our midst that didn't add up but we couldn't quite put our finger on it.Then we realised we were not alone,walking among us,hardly sparing us a second glance was...

    PATTAYA MAN!!! :)

    It was a once in a lifetime chance to study this rare breed up close and in all his glory,an opportunity we couldn't pass up...

    His head was shaven and bereft of all traces of hair,he was above 50 years of age.His clothes were of the fake sportswear variety,think Nike and Adidas.His shorts were elasticated at the waistband and on his feet were flip-flops or thongs as some like to call them,of the cheap,market stall variety.

    A shy and retiring creature,he was seldom seen alone but more usually in the company of a not too pretty,not too young,jaded-looking bargirl!

    Obviously a direct descendent of Neanderthal Man and Homo Erectus[sic] :D ,it was indeed a rare treat to see this genus,once thought extinct,for myself and my colleague,worth all those hours of travelling.The Royal Anthropological Society would scarcely believe it,luckily we had bought photographic evedence with us to prove our claim to be a genuine one...

    I bet he was having a better time than you and your next door partner.Is that why you chose Jomtien????

  7. I eat too much realy but a 7-10k walk most days burns the rubbish off.My height is 6ft and i went from 81k to 90k over a few months,including a trip back to the uk with my mum giving me so much english,rubbish food.I cut down on the rice and made up with veg curries made by my brill gf,and plenty of fruit with a few spuds during the week.Cut right down on the coke in Sangsom and had soda with a splash of lime in,even though i only drink twice a week,i must have put away over a bottle of coke each night out.

    My weight now is 84k and i am big boned too so i feel realy healthy and my stomach fat has gone.Just started to wear my clothes that were tight a few months ago.

  8. I found that in Pattaya, western wholesale have the best, Wayne does a great job and they have good casings that are imported and not the cheap synthetic ones that make you think you are eating a sausage covered in plastic.

    Where is Western Wholesale in Pattaya?????

    171/39 Moo 12, Soi Chaiyapreuk 2

    about 100m up on the right from Sukhumvit

    cheers me dears

  10. Lucky i dont drink much beer,but sangsom and coke can be bought from 20 baht up to 70 baht(bars only).No wonder many bars are empty,just ask how much a beer/sangsom is before you go in and i would expect the answer to be expensive in an empty bar.The competitive bars are mainly full to the rafters and they have the right idea.

  11. If there are many prozzies on the streets,i agree the police should move them on,as they do in Pattaya,well the europeans anyway,as the thais dont get moved on.

    I dont mind sex for sale in bars but too sleazy on the streets and will make the area look a slum and no doubt drugs alley too.Pattaya beach rd is spoilt byt thai prozzies,with plenty of hassle from the men with dicks gender too.Its a shame realy as i have not walked that side of beach road in the night time for over 4 years,but the day time is ok for a gentle jog and much better than handshaking the indians.

  12. Well, reasonable request. For long term stay. Get a visa.

    I also understand how much of a additional work load it is in these crossings to stamp bus after bus people out and in again every two weeks.

    Does immigration actually read thaivisa and notify rule changes or you have dig this out from them George ?

    Very reasonable request.I think some foreigners are scared to give too much details for a visa.If this stops one more scammer,robber,druggie then it will be a good thing.

  13. so many bargirls so few customers! maybe they praying for bargirl quotas :):D:D

    ive yet to meet a bargirl who had a boyfriend :D:D:D .

    its like a sex tourist hooking up w a hi so thai chineeswe :P:D:D:P

    You better chat with mr and mrs pig then.Many many bar girls and many many many gogo dancers have thai bf,but we call them pimps.

    onlt 24 posts suggest you are very wet behind the ears my good man.

    I would say about 80% have Thai boyfriends. And thats being generous. They are mostly motorcycle taxi drivers. Both from Isaan. Both in the service industry and both offer cheap rides in the city.

    Quite a few leave the bf upcountry too.The most dangerous bf are the ones who work in the sex industry

    the bar boys and the guys who let gay men back scuttle them for money.Much bigger risk for aids
