I realy believe that Thailand only likes the short stay tourists, and not expats who live in country. I read these kinds of stories

every year and no Improvements.  It would be nice if this country would get its SH*T together, but I will be dead before that ever

happens.  Guess I should be happy that I am a short timer.

Geezer

Couldn't agree more!

The Marquee bar & Cafe on Soi Buakhao have a Fish and Chip Friday with tarta sauce, mushy peas and a wedge of lemon. We tried the Fish and Chips last week and was really good value for money for only 100 Baht well worth checking out. They have also started selling a traditional Sunday Roast with Yorkshire puddings with a choice of either chicken, pork or beef every Sunday again for only 100 Baht.

Looking for a supplier and installation of commercial vinyl flooring in Pattaya or surrounding areas. Pic is an example of what we are looking for not tiles, sheets.

Thanks.

I purchased a 2nd laptop that would not go on-line, specifically for storing my wallet details with backups of the Bitcoin address's I was going to use to purchase 500 Bitcoins at 40GBP (20,000) some time back. It was all in place and I was ready to buy from a seller in person to avoid being scammed on-line. In the end I bottled it, something was telling me don't do it, so I pulled out.

Today they would be worth 132,500 GBP!! som nam bluddy na!! my own fault for not going through with it!!

I also remember PayPal in '99 looking for investors, when I read the concept I laughed, send money to someone via an email address in seconds that will never work are they serious!!

What with the OP's avatar The Blues Brothers version of Jailhouse Rock sprang to mind.

In a past life, I had a western wife that used to love to argue with me when I was occupied and had my concentration on other important and immediate matters, like when I was working, cooking and her favorite time to start a fight or argument was when I was driving..........totally unfair tactics. Well, one day she tried to pick a fight when I was behind the wheel in heavy traffic and had to concentrate and I didn't say a word, but slowly and safely pulled over to the road side and reached over, opened the door and gently, but forcefully pushed her out of the car and drove off...........she never pulled that game again and we are now happily divorced.........at least I can say 'happily'!!

That was the gentlemen's way of dealing with her. Old Jack The Hat weren't such a gent...

IMO it would be great if the vendors all disappeared. There never used to be vendors along Beach Road and it was all so much better back then. Now it's all just about money.

Totally agree they make the whole place look shabby which Is a shame after all this work is being done to make it look nice.

" Atora Suet can do it "

I on the other hand do not like holding hands, partly because it gives sweaty palms, and partly because it is inconvenient when walking in a crowd.

I will not hold your hand because it is inconvenient, LOL.

ahh spent many a drunken nights at Dennys. and speaking of this fine establishment, here is a video of the fine youth of america enjoying a late rootie tootie fresh and fruity breakfast.

Frigging awesome thanks for that, Dennys rocks.

Consider there are more colours than only black when buying clothes.

Jealousy and resentment - Rife in sin city.

I would not characterize what goes on in Pattaya during Songran as "fun" (at least not for more than 1 hour or so -- no doubt that the kids under 10 y.o. enjoy it), but YMMV.

That's the point, this time last year there were hoards of kids splashing water at the end of my soi a few days before and on the 19th. Had a walk to 7/11 earlier it's like a ghost town, very strange.

(not debating about individual feelings for songkran it's boring and been done to death)

The Chinese, Korean, Russian and Indian tour group buses tourists don't bring much fun to the city..

Ain't that the truth. The Russians especially have to be some of the most miserable people on the planet.

Lived here 6 full years never seen Pattaya so quiet over Songkran. There doesn't seem to be a happy vibe around like previous years.

We was recommended a builder from a large builders merchants on Sukamvit road. He turned out to be the lowest of low scum bag piece of crap I have ever had the misfortune to come across.

Excuses why the work was taking so long so unbelievably outrageous that you almost had to laugh when being told them. One time he said the workers had gone back to the village and he had to go back there to "catch them all" and put them in the back of the truck but wasn't easy because they would jump out again, hahahah this guy was a real comedian.

After 5 months I had enough of it, I wanted it finished and for him to f-k right off out my life so we called for a meeting and told him we had some very good news. We said my Thai wife had just inherited a rai of land in central Pattaya and wanted to build a hotel on the land and could he arrange for this to be built for us, we have 3 million baht for the job and was that enough?

He fell for it hook line and sinker, all work was completed on our house, the extension, windows, tiles throughout, beautiful teak doors it really looked the nuts when done.

It gave me the utmost pleasure to pay him the final payment and tell him we would "be in touch" about the hotel being built and off he went with a big greedy smile, hahaha.

If it was Goose's Fish and Chips he could be as unfriendly and rude to me as he likes. Those fish and chips are darn GOOD!

I agree mate I don't expect or want the boss of a restaurant to juggle balls and entertain me I go to the circus for that. As long as the grub is good the place is very clean which it is there I go back. By the way the staff in there are always friendly.

edit: spelling

I walked into a motorcycle shop to buy some oil for my bike last week in one of them shack type places you see in some sois. I walked in and guy shouts falang! Everyone stops working and all eyes are on me. I picked a small container of oil from the shelf looked at the price and handed over 500 baht. Guy gives me change and 100 baht short. I ask him neung roy khrap and he hands me a 100 baht note grinning like a Cheshire cat, unbelievable.

Whatever way you want to spell it or pronounce it farang or falang it means money alert.

There is so much more to Thailand then Pattaya but f'me its boring everywhere else.
