barrybike

do anything but dont do that .there is thousands of beer bars there and all fairly empty at the moment too ...it would be a bad move man ...

cant beat a good denmark burger joint ,and all freshly made in front of you mmmmmmmmmmmm

Finally!

Some 'Right-click, Save Picture As' photos.

so u like these ones rustic .ill put on more of this kind later

out to the grape field place cant think of the name of the place...then near it too the buddah on the side of the mountain.nice area and not far .lovely beach out in sattahip owned by the army....while there you can check out the big fighter ships near there worth a look ,then on the way back check out under water world ,where you walk around and the fish are over and around you everywhere ....sattahip is good place for some seafishing too if you are into it ,some lovely temples out around that area where grape and buddah on mountain are......then the new floating market on the way to sattahip is well worth a visit......

And what about post #14 then...

There you said you felt embarrased enough for him. Why was that then?

Let this guy do what he wants.. Fat guys not wearing a shirt in restaurants bother me more.

That is something the Thais dont like..

ya i said i felt embarrassed for him that dosent mean i was looking down on him ........thailand supposdly being a third world country and here is a farang busking that probably paid 50,000 baht for a flight to get there in the first place.......is this not unusual or what ...!!!!!!!!!!! as for the fat guy not wearing the t shirt in the restaurant its not much of a restaurant for letting him do it then is it.......

I will ask close friends/relatives to help with such things to a reasonable level, sure, why not?

On the other hand, I have been asked to export things from Thailand like prescription meds and I have to say no because you can technically get into trouble bringing in meds to the US that you don't have a scrip for.

Just how hard is it in Thailand to get a prescription for anything?

are you joking with this question.just walk into pharmacy and get it .no prescription required

use one with no scent .neutral..spray then close doors n go to another room for 5 mins.before re entering

there seems to be alot of bad stuff happening around pattaya these days,,,,,,i rode around several small sois during pattaya bike week on a hired 750 ..only new.....would make me think again some what of the dangers out there...this recession will hit everyone and the criminals are no exception......i think the police are not visible enough in pattaya.youd never see two cops walking around much....i know you wouldnt want to see cops every where but if it could stop stuff like this happaning .i saw on pattaya news a few weeks ago a 74 year old woman and husband were attacked and robbed walking along jomtien.they dont care who they rob,i think they actually got someone for that............i like pattaya as much as anyone and i try to talk good about the place all the time to people but if stuff like this keeps happening people will stay away from the place in big numbers .and then who are the ones losing out only the pattaya people themselves........more law on the streets id say would be a start,im going to pattaya for 8 years and i always felt really safe there but lately there is some real horror stories going on ....crime is up alot in the last year

That's because the police are primarily focused on issuing tickets (or collecting money) for no-helmet offenses.

i agree with that ...................

MMMmm, i like buskers. If their good, i'll give them money, cause i like their music and prefer it to the loud speakers from the guys selling the bootleg cd's.

If their bad, they get nothing from me.

But complaining about them? Lots of other stuff to complain about than good music.

It's a shame they are looked down upon. Music is a wonderful thing.

I bet he wouldn't be looked down upon in Ireland (a country where many of the world's best musicians and poets come from)

Do you think maybe they are good because they are not looked down upon???

i wrote this topic as i thought it was an unusual sight to see in thailand .i never said anything about looking down on any one fiddlehead ok........

agreed ,the fun last for a short while.....then you get really fed up of being soaked..and its hard to smile at it all the time ..i like to travel by car when its on and keep windows firmly up

I normally have the opposite problem of the OP. When I order a steak, I order rare, and in Thailand it usually comes out well done.

are you serious .i dont like steak well done but in thailand thats what i have to say to get anything thats half edible , i like medium to well done but i think in thailand this would be 30 seconds on the pan and served out to you .there is a place near jomtien in pattaya manhattan staekhouse that serve perfectly but very expensive....i was in a place in siam paragon forget the name but good too..i was staying in the alexander a few weeks ago and a few meters down from it there was a huge sign european steak house , you want to see the crap steak i got ..un eadible ..it was nearly raw ,,and i stressed to them very very well done and this is what i got ....when i complained after all i got was sorry ....i said well done is not fffnnnn pink.........

more pics

they always advertise this event as asias biggest and finest ,but its very small compared to pattaya bike week ,,no comparison really ...but it is still good,dont get me wrong .but thats it

hi where do you reckon are the best steak restaurants in bangkok.......ive been to a few disappointing places...thai chefs dont understand the difference between well done ,medium and rare....i always stress very very well done and some times it comes out to me red .....i really hate when this happens and ruins the mood for the evening then some times i order steak with chips and out comes the steak with 5 or 6 chips ,kinnaew lol ........any way would be great to hear from ye experienced guys ...thanks

sounds tough though.even your worst enemy u wouldnt like to see him in that situation

speak for yourself

i am speaking for my self .thanks

thanks for all replies ,,cheers ............barry

I can see a few baht in acc. Looks good. What country is it in?

ya spent few euros on extras alright ,but i did it in stages over few year .its in ireland

Lived here for a year prior to moving the family to Chiangmai, was satisfied and happy...... aside from the roosters at all hours of the night.

After 9 years and a growing family, we are just completing a new house back in Issan, a "Falang" house. Don't know if I will be happy, only time will tell but so far the wife & kids are happy and I guess that is what counts. Will still live in Chiangmai but now the family has a place when we return to Issan while the kids are on vacation.

Yes, building my own pond so the wife can fish, next is the Khlong for security purposes (If a thief can swim with a TV on his back, he can have it, no problem!).

nice looking house......

check out travis pastranas mad back flip on a childs tricycle

About 3-4 years ago I saw a farang busking outside the Pattaya Klang entrance to Carrefour.

He was playing a guitar and had a cup in front of him with some coins and bills.

Couldn't believe my eyes! I remember thinking to myself: How long will it take before the BIB come and get him?

Only saw him that one time.

a rare sight alright ......pity for them

are vw based trikes available here ,i have never seen any and have a mate comming soon who need's a third wheel.any info would be a great help.
