    Maybe you never heard of Glasshouse, Silver Lining and other places? Superb seafood and right at the beach.
    We drive all the way from Bangkok to Pattaya to have dinner at Silver Lining in Wong Amat. 
    Pattaya is what you make of it. I love and hate the place for many reasons and avoid Walking Street at all costs. 
    Happily married and done with the bar scene. 
    Something special about the place that's hard to describe.. love it or hate it, but don't hate the people who live there. Not everyone is a raging alcohol, sex addicted loser. They are just more obvious and tolerated down there than in Bangkok. That's all. 

    Good post.

    i think its about how and where you made your money if your rich.

    i know many people here in Thailand who drive luxury cars they have never had any problems. i also know 2 guys a ozzy and a German who used to build houses and condos im surprised neither of those two got hit the strokes they used to pull on people. luck of the draw who you rip off i suppose.

    I think I know who you are referring to, I'm surprised also.

    Yes in USA the Beetles only got the 1600cc engines in this time.

    But in Europe we got 2 models: the VW 1302 (1300cc carb) and the VW 1302S (1600cc carb). S for "Sport" or "Special" or "Superior" or whatever it could mean for the happy purchaser...

    Different markets different specs I suppose...

     

    in 1973 the 1300 had a 1300 engine (1285).

    On Kenway's  FaceBook a friend asked how much he wanted for it. He replied 13. Doesn't the tariffs on luxury cars double the price?

    Not sure what its worth, I was guessing, his Audi was up for sale for 6.9 million so I guessed that the Porsche was around 6 million although your probably closer with 13.

    not really surprised about the events.  The number of cars mentioned in other posts and now these further details. "Web design" websites don't make the amounts of money to support the lifestyle the man was apparently leading.  Booking and gambling are bad and dangerous enough, but to do that in a very unregulated and wild wild west country such as Thailand, well, things ran their course.

    Agreed,

    With her, they are doing quite a few new and "pop" type tunes.  It actually works out great as she's an amazing vocalist.

    Good stuff.

    Definitely need some new stuff thrown in, different styles etc.

     

    Reminds me of the good old days. and the disagreements etc.

    Thank god thats over.
