  1. Far from it, no good reading the Bible it needs studying.
  2. Patronising, cheeky git.
  3. Good question and I may have missed an answer. Not interested in home ownership, but I have an idea that there are no easy annual visas. Same for Vietnam. Be nice to be wrong.
  4. No it's not, seems quite logical.
  5. No to the first para, but I was also here in 97 if that makes a difference. Not bragging just stating a fact.
  6. 790 at the front, 990 at the allegedly quieter back.
  7. How many taxpayers are there in Thailand.?
  8. Thank you BigStar for reminding me that the phone still exists. The lady who answered was pleasant and helpful. So are all the staff.
  9. Please clarify what you feel was correct and what wasn't, as my information was accurate. The poast I responded to was a bit ambiguous.
  10. Got in on a telephone booking. The booking agencies and the Lek do not seem to communicate, nor do they seem to encourage online enquiries. No block bookings either by the looks of things. I would estimate no more than 25% occupancy. Many other local places appear to be quiet too. The buffet meals all long ceased to be.
  11. The bar I referred to was on Soi Yamato, Crazy Daves was as you say on Soi Pothole. Your post was not very clear about which you were referring to.
  12. No it was Soi Yamato.
  13. Thank you for clearing that up, I'm a bit out of touch with their shirts. Hope to get a Bangkok Bears shirt soon.
  14. Well, made it to the Lek and no hordes of Indians about. No hordes of anyone else either and it looks like the food is a thing of the past. Otherwise peaceful and almost serene.
  15. Another poster says it's a Northern Ireland shirt.
  16. Andre, a Scandi don't which part. I think he went when he split up from his misses. Shortly afterwards Andre's bar opened on Buakhao. Never heard if it was the same guy.
  17. Sounds logical, soon find out anyway. From memory pre-covid they were asking 1350 a room, now it's 770 or 790 a room at the front. A mate who lives down Soi 15 tells me the Travelodge there is 1000++, down from 1750++. Low season prices definitely.
  18. Don't remember that, reports of trouble in or from the Bxllxcks itself were generally exaggerated. Most of them there at the beginning were ageing football hooligans, later long-stay and semi permanent UK guys levelled things out a bit. About the cheering, well that doesn't surprise me.
  19. What is your definition of animal hater.? Can't say I've noticed many on here or at any of my barstool venues.
  20. Had a week in Penang once a long time ago, to me it was Australian families. Nothing against them but kids everywhere comes as a shock when you've been in Pattaya for a while. Johor and KL were alright for a few nights for a mooch about and a few drinks.
  21. I worked for three months in the Dept of Census and Statistics in Rhodesia in the seventies. Does that count.? I'd like to say that I had carnal knowledge of a statistician but I didn't.
  22. In the UK and usually in a pub, when I've pointed out an error (in MY favour) twice I've got the height of abuse. I repeated what I said and watched as it slowly dawns on them that I'm being helpful. I think best to keep quiet.
  23. The noted one for the breakfast buffet was the Casa Whatever a bit further down the road on the other side. Do you remember Nervous Dave who used to get up and do The Young Ones at the Wonderful by request of the group. They used to play it every time he walked past. In the olden days I used to drink in Soi Yamato at the Dogs Bxllxcks.
  24. Got a bad throat problem so not eating normally, doubt if I'll be doing their breakfast.
