  1. Everybody knows that's Nakhon Sawan.
  2. Buddy's Bar by Soi 20 has or had a pub-like feel to it. Chequers a classic expat bar. Bus Stop an affordable option if you don't need aircon The Old Other Office, a must see bar unique in Patpong. Crown Royal lovely old style Patpong hostelry, take the family during the day as the ladies don't start till 6 pm.
  3. You brought the subject up, I am sure nobody else is interested.
  4. I think many AN accident investigators are keen to hear as many professional, qualified comments as possible.
  5. This is a great place to air them, please start ASAP. And why not pretend to be Bob.
  6. Come on OMF you have spent long enough on here to know what they mean.
  7. Thank you for that norbra, very encouraging. If you get any further info I hope tou keep us informed.
  8. Some have many farang, some not too many, some only a few. Same with decent and cheap eating and drinking places.
  9. And all in Isaan.
  10. Thanks gents, much obliged.
  11. Anywhere between Nana and Thonglor have them.? Shop only Not a pub or caff, as due to health problems I'm homebound for the moment, (the missis isn't and she will enjoy the trip)I know online etc but I miss the real thing.
  12. There is a lot in this, particularly point 2. The lack of intelligence can also refer to lack of experience, I am thinking of specific instances here.
  13. I like to sleep at night, too old to have problems playing on my mind. Avoidable ones anyway, don't buy aggravation I was always told.
  14. What started most of the comments was someone saying he didn't believe in borders, ie everybody should just have free access and entry to everywhere.
  15. Yes just turn up anywhere, live on the streets and in public places, make everywhere filthy and unsanitary, beg for money or worse, destroy the environment for the people who made it decent to live there, contribute nothing Then demand your civil rights.
  16. You don't get snitched on for <deleted> but you've nobody to tell you the difference between to and too.
  17. I heard that Kim has a new bar now, is it still trading.? Can't remember ever going to Jamesons.
  18. Quite right, everybody is treated equally and fairly.
  19. True but surely you have considered that Sukhumvit overheads are higher than "near Surin". When I was first here in Oct 97 earlyish in the currency crisis, I quickly sussed out that in general central Bangkok prices were at least on a par with Central London prices, if not higher. There are cheaper places about, the Bus Stop bar in Soi 4 comes to mind (not an aircon bar) can't quote prices for there or anywhere as I've not drunk for over 3 months and not much for a month or two before that. Old age and Ill health.
  20. So your post mentions the first Brit criminals in what you say is 2-3 months and you say you hope it's just a hiccup and soon gets back to normal. And those you say are not anti-Brit sentiments.
  21. Come on Ralf, name names please.
  22. But how do you compare supermarket/ 7eleven prices with a hotel or restaurant bar in an area with some of the most expensive property in Thailand. They do operate ++, plus service, plus tax which puts 17% on top. Not a practice I like at the retail level, all prices should be inclusive. This aircon resto that charges 45 for a small can of Chang, you do not state the location or whether it is a happy hour price. Opposite my home is the Old English Pub in Thonglor where they charge happy hour prices of 45 baht a pint of draught Leo (before 2pm) rising to 85 a pint before 7pm. But these prices are very, very much the exception in central Bangkok. I prefer to compare like with like.
