  1. I first arrived in 97 and was in Bobby's a few times, decent enough place and people. Not the same heavy drinkers and everything else lads that were in Jools at that time but alright. Only went in the Barbican once and didn't really take to it. O'Reillys was fine for it's happy hour but not really for the likes of us.
  2. Great little place, easy, relaxed, nice bar atmosphere. Then they went to Ekamai and started a "minimalist" place with the same name and zero else going for it.
  3. The wife's granddaughter was fascinated by it and asked for a roll to take home because "they didn't have one in their house". The wife's daughter is an aspiring social climber.
  4. But they only appear to be strengthened for your group, which has always got the run around. Same treatment as people on multiple short term visas who are trying to stay long term have frequently had the run around. Not necessarily breaking any rules because the rules are vague and subject to interpretation. For once I find a post of yours to be unsatisfactory and insubstantial, could you possibly give an example of that of which you speak.
  5. The people you are objecting to do not do extensions based on marriage. Neither do agents.
  6. Current owner Matt, formerly Big Dave's Best customers.
  7. New Cowboy Bar has changed hands. I have been having the occasional drink there the last few months. Still a lovely bar but still (in my experience) not many customers. Crystal Palace still seems to be going, not sure about the Patpong Cafe. I think the museum has gone.
  8. Behave yourself. Or take it on and re-open it.
  9. The Dogs Bollcxx in Pattaya used to have one.
  10. You'd better tell DavidH51 he tells people it's for a few days. Not my business anyway, thanks for your post.
  11. Seeing as you obviously know things, can you help out and tell me what a woosh guy is.? Could be whoosh. Many thanks.
  12. You're. And you probably bet wrong, I have no idea what it means.
  13. At least he can spell them.
  14. His lifestyle.? I think you mean his imagination.
  15. There is an excellent train service (well everything is relaative) from Chang Mai but you would still need to carry your passport.
  16. You seem to have your finger on the pulse how exactly does it work, I have been wondering.? Wish I could find a corrupt agent to lend me 800,000 baht. So the money is only loaned for a few days. That is interesting as the law says months.
  17. Or as all RCs like to say "I'll light a candle."
  18. I think the vaccine is (or was) in short supply you almost had to convince "them" that you really needed it. The last time I needed one I went to a place in London, patiently explained why I needed it and was asked the question "So you don't really want the vaccination, just something saying you've had one.?" "Er, pretty much" I replied. "OK that'll be £20". My card was stamped and off I went.
  19. Long time ago I went to the place near the docks in Bangkok (nowhere in Pattaya had it.) I think it was the Port Health Authority. I started early in the morning at Bumrungrad asking them where would do it and got them to write the name and address in Thai. Taxi driver still got lost but eventually it was sorted.
  20. Anyone else being bombarded by advertising. Pity none of it refers to licensed premises selling reasonably priced Bitter or IPA.
  21. I don't remember much offal being eaten in the North in the late sixties. Possibly in smaller rural communities or In certain areas. But if that's what the man said, who am I to argue. Just to add that obviously the condition being treated in the late sixties would be the result of eating habits from several decades.
  22. While on the subject of healthy eating, does anyone know if the Bio Duo Probiotic yoghurt is genuinely probiotic.? Come to that does yoghurt in Thailand have similar ingredients to what farangs are used to. Come even further how close are any.of them to the original yoghurt.
  23. So self-absorbed, fat, idle gits would seem to be the problem. No wonder my mate can't get anyone to fix his leaky roof.
  24. True for many, but I thought traditionally there was not too much fibre in the Thai diet.
